THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLESSED WORDS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE, AND MAY YOU BE FILLED WITH HIS JOY, PEACE AND LOVE EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY.

IN HIS SERVICE, JOSEPH.

We had our finish meeting last night with the Alpha Course where I shared with them your testimony of finding Christ through Alpha, and your plans to move to Peru to serve the Lord. I also told them it was your testimony on line that was part of God's plan to bless our church.

There is already a singles ministry brewing for older folks 40+ and I am so amazed at how God has ministered and matured those who have participated in the group, and how God has knit our hearts together. Some of them want to do it again in the fall. I can't wait to start again September 2nd. My Pastor came and ate with us also and I was blessed when a man who was saved on the 4th week of coming to the group, John presented me a gift from the group.

God bless you with every good thing my sister. Please remember me Sunday as I am preaching at church on the Holy Spirit my favorite subject.

Coming to know the Holy Spirit is amazing, I love Him so much and can't imagine a day without his blessed touch in my life. Have a blessed day.
In the great love of Jesus

Hi Mary Ann,
Please keep an orphanage in Tijuana Mexico as they are trying to buy the building where they have over a hundred children, many are rescues from the sex slave industry.

They poured a lot of money into the building and now these greedy landlords want to take the building. They call the building The Purple Palace. Part of there team of rescuers was murdered last year who was a policeman. The enemy has a terrible stronghold there.

A lady from my church and her teenage son are organizing a group of christian bands to have a fund raiser to help them buy the building. Pray with us that God will abundantly bless this fundraiser for these children who need a safe place to grow up.

Please pray also for myself, my friend Roberto, and a Pastor Roland We are starting a ministry for a group of 22 young men from Guatemala who are working in a slate factory. They live in a warehouse and do not speak English.

Roberto is a wonderful Christian brother who is from Guatemala where he had to flee from 20 years ago when the corrupt government was seeking to kill all educated collage graduates and Christians. He has been a member of my church for years and one of my dearest friends.

He is an Evangelist and has the gift of faith. I had a vision a year or so ago of me preaching to a group of Latinos with him interpreting. I thought I was going to be going to Mexico or central, South America, but I think this is what God was showing me.

That is awesome that you are going to Peru full time. They are so blessed to have you and your husband. Carla will miss you guys, but you must be about your Fathers work.

It was your testimony that made me take a look at the Alpha Course. I might not have even taken a look at it except I had had seen the excellent foundation of faith God had put in your life. So you get to share in some of the fruit when we get to Heaven.

My Dog woke me up at 3 am because she had to go out and I am glad I stayed up to share with you and spend some time in prayer. I feel such a stirring in my heart and want to live a Spirit controlled and filled life for the honor and the glory of our God. Be blessed always!

In the love of Jesus

Hi Dear Sister, It is good to hear from you. I remember you mentioning that you were doing the Alpha course in your church. I am just finishing up the 10 weeks in my church, It has been awesome. We had seen 3 people saved and we have been totolly blessed by it all. I will be running it 2 times a year in the church , spring and fall. Next fall I have dicided to teach the lessons myself to make it more our own. Eating together has also caused us to get to know each other more, plus our weekly prayer group is after the group and most of the group have started coming to the prayer group also.

So are you home yet or still on the field? Man has the net grown since you have been away. I am a greeter and love it because of all the new believers. I have over 900 friends.lol Neinie and I were saying we would be in a lot of trouble if our friends all wrote at once. lol.

God's blessings be with you always dear sister.

In the love of Jesus

Hi Mom.. so nice to see you the other day. Thanks so much for coming over for dinner and cooking the meal and cleaning up! :)

....,On That note! Happy Mother's Day. I love you Mom. God has certainly blessed me with a fantastic mom. Love you.~me

Hi Mom...

Welcome Home! Yay! Can't wait to see you both and give hugs...

Love you.. will see you soon.

Hi Mom.. Thanks for your notes of encouragement and Love.

We are all so excited for you both to be home. Praying for your safe return.
The weather is warming up here nicely. Today we had 30 degrees. I'm going to be starting on my garden soon.. I love you guys...~Carla

What joy to hear from you my sister. I was going to leave you a note also when i saw your face on Carla's blog, but got pulled away. I am very busy these days. I am greeting all the men who come onto AAG now. I love it so much as I get to minister to many seekers and new Christians.
I remember you mentioning The Alpha course. this Wed. I will be leading the Alpha Course in my Churches Foundations, small group. My pastor have been seeking the lord for many months about a new believers group for our church. God made it clear that this was the one he wanted us to do. Plus when my pastor was checking out the course with a pastor friend, who has a campus ministry, who then gave us several hundred dollars worth of materials that he had. He had created his own materials to use on the campus where he was ministering and had the materials waiting for us. We are going to send him a missionary offering to bless his work.

I am so excited about it and know that God is going to do a very special work through it. I praise God that he also has led me in some very specific ways in the last few months.

I can't wait to hear about all your adventures with God that you have had over the months that you have been gone.

Soul food for the Day: The CENTER...

The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118
And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8
What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?
It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8


When things get tough, always remember faith doesn't get you around trouble..
it gets you through it!
When you relinquish the desire to control your future you obtain happiness...

Prayer:
Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day....
May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have closer relationship with you. Amen...

i read your article on healing, i learned something new about healing today. God bless you always.

Thank you for the note.. I love you and you know I need your prayers and always can feel them. I hope to talk to you soon. What day are you home?
