As I am sitting at my desk, thinking of you and thanking our Lord for you, I am contemplating on Galatians 6:6, which says, “Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches”. You have shared your material benefits with me, so that I can continue to share spiritual benefits with pastors, church planters, cell group leaders and lay believers, all over this globe! You have been so faithful to support our desire and determination to teach the eternal truths of the Word of God with those who can and will teach others also. And in doing so, you have ministered to this ministry and to the ministries of many, many leaders, around the world, in a tremendous way! Through your prayers and your financial gifts, You have been “channels of blessing” to us; so that we might be “channels of blessing” to others!

As you know, when I teach these conferences in foreign nations (2 in Cuba this year; 2 in India; and 1 in Kenya), it is always an output of thousands of dollars. The Lord uses you and your gifts to enable us to feed these hundreds of leaders; your gifts take care of their bus travel expenses; you pay for their workbooks; you pay for the cooks; you help pay for my travel expenses; as well as the many other smaller items needed for such outreach! Dear friends, we believe, with all of our hearts, that foreign missions is far more than only sending people to other parts of the world. We believe it is all about sending “truth on fire” through a disciple, to other parts of the world! The believer who is more concerned about giving to others, than about receiving from others, will be constantly refreshed in his own life. He will enjoy in greater ways, the things that are shared with him. So dear precious co-­‐laborers of the faith, we praise our God and gracious Provider; and we thank you, as His channels of blessing, to extend ‘HIS TRUTH’ into the lives of many, many leaders in this needy world!

II Cor. 4:5
