3:1
Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,Greetings and peace to all of you. Does it seem like Summer should be over and Fall in the air? It sure doesn’t to me. It seems as of late that the seasons are flying by as quickly as the days. Hopefully your children are all settled in their classes and you have a good routine going. I’m sure it is a busy time for everyone, so let’s take a few minutes, grab our favorite cup of cider, tea, or latte and have a little chat.I want to begin by thanking God our heavenly Father for being so good and all powerful in my life. God has given us the courage,ability and open doors to continue to reach out and bring many lives into His fullness. We have been privileged to start a Bible Study at St John the Apostle Catholic Church in Oregon City. We have a nice but small group that continues to have new people come. It is exciting to see God’s work in action. People are hungry for more of God all over.Ed shared about our trip to California and how the Lord used him to minister to a fairly large group of Catholics in Brentwood.Praise God for pouring out His Spirit and lighting all of our fires, and spreading the Good News everywhere.The hard part was we were not able to see every one of our dear friends there,because of our limited time.We thank God for the many precious saints in Vancouver who shower us with love, prayers and encouragement. We have learned so much and we appreciate you all. God is truly pouring out His Spirit on all flesh (that lets Him).Let’s believe for an all out revival.Next I want to share with you what God is doing everyday in my life. I have had a prayer partner for over ten years and we have prayed almost every day. We even try to when we are traveling. She travels almost as much as we do. Her name is Mary and she is awesome and is passionate about the Lord.She actually came up with

Giving to the Lord…
This can often seem like a touchy subject for ministries to talk about. But we think you know us well enough to know we’re not trying to lay any guilt trips or ask anyone for something they can’t give. In fact it bothers us to see ministries using statements like, “God’s getting ready to pour out a great blessing on you as you step out in faith and make a sacrificial gift to our ministry.” What?! Listen: GOD’s ready to pour out HIS blessing on you NO MATTER WHAT you give (time, money or whatever) so long as you do it in obedience to Him and the giving is with joy in your heart! Our ministry has needs, we travel all over the country preaching, teaching, counseling and working with people to promote the GOOD NEWS, growth in the Holy Spirit and the fullness of life we have in Christ Jesus! This takes time,technology, help (staff), marketing and all these take fi- nances. So if the Lord has been telling you to give… What are you waiting for?! Just be sure you’re listening to the Lord and you’re giving with JOY and EXPECTATION for the great return the Lord is going to provide to you! But remember the great blessing isn’t because of us… It’s because He’s an awesome God and that’s what He promises to do! AMEN!? Praise the Lord, thank you sooo much for the faithful giving, prayer and blessings you bring upon our ministry! We love you all very much! Keep loving and serving the Master!
the earth today. Let us beabout the Kingdom of Godtoday, knowing He lives inus to accomplish all thatHe has ever done in thepast. Today, let’s you and Igo forth and co-labor withthe same triune God thatlives in us. So that theworld might know He isamongst us the sameyesterday, today andforever.Amen.
