The summer months are frequently difficult in non-profit ministries. This has not been true of Jesus Every Day Ministries. We have seen the Lord work in many lives these hot (and humid here in the south) weeks. Marriages have been strengthened. Men have met for Bible study. Individuals have been discipled. DVDS and other Christian materials have been distributed. Columns for newspapers and magazines have been written. Messages have been preached, prayers have been raised. In all these things, the singular goal has been to honor and praise our Lord Jesus Christ. We have been blessed to receive enough funding so that Ken and Lilia Rose are receiving about what was budgeted for their personal needs. There is an ongoing need for ministry funds among these poverty-stricken people, but the Rose family has had their personal needs met. This is partly because they live frugally, but also in large measure because the Lord’s people have been generous. Please praise the Lord with us and continue to uphold all the needs of the work both here in the USA and in the Philippines.
We are closing in on October 4th when our President, Jed Snyder, leaves for a two-week teaching ministry at Zaporozyhe Bible College and Seminary in that large city in Ukraine. The funds have been almost completely promised. At the time of this writing, we are waiting on some gifts that we anticipate and about $400 that has not yet been committed. Please pray that all the funds will come in, that wisdom in preparation will continue and that all the details of the trip will work together smoothly for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please pray for the Board of Directors of the ministry. When folks commit to work toward the goal of evangelism and discipleship, they become targets of the great foe of our Lord. Our Lord is always mighty and much greater but the trials are often severe. Employment and health needs arise. Family members may struggle with difficulties. None of this is unexpected but we do want to encourage you to help us bear each other’s burdens.
Thanks also, for all who buy DVDS and other materials and thanks to those who are burdened to contribute to President Jed’s support.
