We'd love to share with you some of the testimonies that have come to our ministry this week... it is so exciting! It is encouraging to hear how the messages entrusted to us are changing lives.
One of the things we do for outreach is give the resources to people in prisons as well as to chaplains who work in prisons. We love getting reports from them!
“I used the Driven by Eternity curriculum in the largest maximum security prison in California. As a result, 1,000 people accepted the Lord or rededicated their lives because of this study.” -Chaplain, California
“I have been so blessed by your teaching. In a place like this submission is a big thing. Your teaching really opened the scriptures for me. I am no longer in the dark and I thank you for it.” -Prisoner, Illinois

An Important Question...
If intimidation or fear lulls our gifts asleep, what stirs and wakes them up?
Boldness.
2 Timothy 1:6-7 says “Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you… For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
The love of God casts out fear and gives us boldness. Boldness breaks the grip of intimidation and awakens the gifts in our lives.
We encourage you to be bold in the face of uncertainty. If there is a cloud of discouragement and confusion hanging over you or your family, it is time to break free.
You are a leader in your sphere of influence because you have light and truth! Step out and bring forth great victories in the strength of our God.
With faith,
John & Lisa

The Greatest Invitation of All Time
There is a call coming from the heart of God and with each passing day its intensity increases...
“Why are you satisfied without My presence; why do you remain distant when you could have intimacy with Me?” This is the greatest invitation that has ever been given to you... You can have a deep, fulfilling relationship with the Creator of the Universe!
In fact, He is longing to have intimacy with you even more than you are with Him! “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry.” Psalm 34:15
God is willing to communicate with you non-stop. The question is, are you listening? Realize that it is not always words that God is using. Communication can be more than just verbal. My wife can give me one look, and I can write multiple pages about what she just said! Why is that? I have developed a relationship with her and cultivated it for more than twenty-six years and I know how she communicates.
God wants to develop a relationship of intimacy with you. James puts it beautifully in James 4:8, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
This is the most profound invitation of all time—how will you respond? May you set your heart on this promise as you step into this new year.
I believe in you,
John
