Hello all Royal Family of God, near and far!   Just so you know, Pictures and Videos clips from India are now up on the free gift min. website!  Just click "View Here" next to Video Clips & Photos page., and you'll see a photo slide show, and you can scroll down for brief video clips.   Special thanks for Marc and Rachel in Florida!  I appreciate your time so much... 

I also want to give a special thanks to all of you who have helped the ministry with recent donations.  We have alot of programs we want to accomplish with Pastor Adams in India, and ALL our needs have been met, PLUS SOME!!!  I am overwhelmed at the generosity displayed, especially in these tough economic times.  It is a pleasure to see people living for eternal things, giving freely of their finances, not clinging to the things of this world.  As we know, sic transit gloria mundi!  the glory of this world passes away!!

We are currently considering the future of this ministry, to possibly include a soon trip to Africa, and another visit to India in early 2010.  Please join us in prayer regarding these.  We are also in the midst of printing 2 new salvation tracts for distribution at home and abroad, "Your Sins CANNOT take you to Hell", and "SAVED from a Death Sentence". They are currently being formatted and printed in large quantities.  If anyone wants a copy of these please let me know.

Thanks again for your faithfulness.  May God's will be fulfilled in all our ventures.

in Christ's merits,

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want..."

So begins perhaps one of the most famous passages in the Bible, and certainly the most famous and beloved psalm. Many have memorized it, claim it and love it. But how many read it with the realization that if they claim the Lord as their shepherd, they are identifying themselves as sheep? And if they do realize that... do they really understand what that identification implies?

...Pastor Farley taught the entire conference, giving us an in depth look at Psalm 23 not only from a shepherd's point of view but from a sheep's as well. (If you want to listen to them, check out the AZ Conference 2008 lessons at http://www.gbible.org/ where they can be streamed or downloaded.)

They were a fantastic series of lessons...the image I will carry with me of the shepherd/warrior, the strong, wise, gentle man who at the same time is fierce and well armed and prepared for fighting off lions, bears and thieves sometimes single-handedly to protect his sheep. The one who must make sure the sheep are protected and feel completely safe before they will eat from the pasture of choice grasses He has led them too. But more on that later... all this from Karen Hancock's blog and for more, log onto these links...
