Dear friends and family,
Since the beginning of the Discipleship Training School (DTS), God has been stretching out His hand of wonders. Two weeks ago the base witnessed a miracle of spiritual healing on a student who had been caught in the devils snares. A girl who had been afraid of snakes for most of her life found that she could touch them without even a hint of fear. Even the staff has experienced breakthroughs in their personal lives. During one of our improve worship and praying times, a staff member saw Jesus in the midst of us placing oil on our foreheads. This Last September DTS was given the promise that God would provide the money for their outreach in Israel. Today they are sharing God’s Word of hope to Palestinian refugees. God has also blessed us with an opportunity to bless Him through assisting earthquake victims rebuild their lives. Even today we are seeing the hand of God working.
For the three and a half years Terry and Donna have been here; they have given their hearts, time, and finances to help bring about these breakthroughs. Last year, they sold their truck to raise enough money so the base could have its own, personal van. Even now, they are still continuing to give.
Last Monday this van that Terry and Donna worked so hard for, was stolen. During the weekend their personal vehicle was stolen!
I believe that this did not happen as a coincidence.
“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.”
“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.”
- 1 Peter 4:12
Despite the circumstances, we believe that God is big enough to make something glorious out of this discouraging occurrence. If we all pray and seek God’s will, I know that we will experience a miracle. Each vehicle costs about 10,000 dollars a piece. It will cost an additional 1,000 dollars to purchase and install a security system on both vehicles.
Be assured that every cent that God leads you to give will be used toward the replacement of both vehicles and their security systems. Any additional gifts will be sent to staff and students in need.
“Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies you’re confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.”
- 2 Corinthians 9:13
Thank you in advance for participating in our ministry to reaching the world for Jesus!
