New Release: Got Gifts? (May 1, 2010)

I am very excited to announce the release of my newest book, Got Gifts?

Actually, this book has taken me longer to write than any book I have ever written. I started writing this book, in response to a pressing need in our church, many years ago. As in most churches, people weren’t serving, because they didn’t know what gifts they’d been given, and lacked the training necessary to use them.

After I started writing the outlines, and teaching the spiritual gifts class, however, we experienced an amazing transition in the church. We went from having 20% of the people doing most of the work, to having 80% of the church members involved in active ministry in the body of Christ. I believe your church can experience similar results.

The secret to mobilizing the church, exists in helping people discover and develop the gifts they have been given, by the Holy Spirit. I believe most church members want to help do the work of the Lord, but simply lack the training to do so. Got Gifts? will teach them how to actively employ their spiritual gifts with positive results.

God has given everyone at least one gift – it’s time to use the gift(s) you have been given to help build the church, and win the lost for Christ!

Got Gifts? will help you discover the gifts you have been given by the Lord, and help you maximize their use, so you can effectively touch lives on His behalf, and win the lost to Him before it’s too late.

Everybody has struggled or failed …

But don’t fear, there is hope for you. Where can this amazing hope be found? In a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s right. He is REAL, and He REALLY WILL turn your life around, if you let Him DO IT. Why don’t you ask Him today?

Do You Know Jesus?

Salvation

Jesus said, “I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord changes your life forever. You become born-again and your life becomes more abundant.

What Does It Mean to Be Born-Again?

“Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

Being born-again means that you are saved from eternal judgment, delivered from your sins, set free from the penalty of your sins, and redeemed by Jesus to have new, fulfilling life.

II Corinthians 5:17 declares “if any man be in Christ he is a new creature (or creation) old things are passed away and behold all things become new.”

Once we become born-again, God sees us as new creatures because all of our sins and transgressions that separated us from God are now covered by the precious blood of His Son, Jesus. Righteousness gives us the privilege to stand before God and make our requests known unto Him through prayer. We have fellowship or communion with Him — a personal relationship with the God of the universe.

How Can You Become Born-Again?

The process for being born-again is found in Romans 10:9: “If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead thou shall be saved.”

First, believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, that God raised Jesus from the dead, and that Jesus Christ died and shed His blood so you could be cleansed of your sin.

Then, confess that Jesus Christ is God, and ask Him to forgive you for your sins and take control (be Lord) of your life.

Make the decision to be born-again today!

To begin your new life with Christ, pray this prayer with me.

“Dear Lord Jesus, I recognize my need for You and I ask You to come into my heart and change my life. I know I am a sinner and ask you to forgive me for all my sins and make me clean. I invite Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life to be my Savior and Lord. Thank You for Your forgiveness and salvation today. Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer from your heart, then you have just become born-again!

Please write us and share that great news, and so that we can pray for you and send you some information that will help you grow in your new walk with Christ.

May God Bless You!

Special thanks to Bishop B. Courtney McBath

Real Ministry – Touching Real Lives

By staff On September 30th, 2009 in Family Life, Ministry, Uncategorized /

Our objective is to reach the lost and strengthen the church – in the USA and around the world.”

We are grateful that God is allowing us to touch many lives around the world. Although we have two distinct areas of ministry International and USA Ministries, in reality, they are one. For when it’s all said and done, we minister to people. And people are people – wherever they live.

Cultures and traditions change from nation to nation, but the basic needs of humanity remain unchanged. Our goal is to minister to the basic, unchanged needs of people, whether they live here in the United States or around the world.

Where do we minister? Greece, Dominican Republic, Austria, Germany, Armenia, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Mexico and others. We are seeing God do many miraculous things for the people of those nations!

In Cambodia alone, we have already seen the Lord save over 4000 souls! People have been miraculously healed, numerous lives changed forever – and the church strengthened. (See Vision & Mission statement)
