Dear Faithful Partners

In Deuteronomy 31:6-8 it says; “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Praising God today for the power and authority we have in His Word. It is important that we stand together in unity in the body of Christ praying and supporting each other with our words and actions. If we are unified as believers we are stronger together. As a teenager I remember a game we played in youth camp called tug-a-war. The side that won the game wasn’t the side that had the largest group but the group that was unified in working together in their efforts won.

Today we are seeing a lot of turmoil and fear in people’s lives.  2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” We are called to be unified as believers living in peace not in fear.
​
I encourage you to reach out to each other and continue to be a part of your community. Such as your local church, online ministries, family and friend events, daily reading God's word and spending time in His presence. It could be easy to isolate yourself during this time. However social distancing is not the same as self-isolation.  As we use wisdom we can still feel connected to our community, family and friends. This can create healing in our mind, will and emotions.

Thank you for your faithful support and love offerings.  Because of you, we are able to continue to minister in dynamic local churches, inspiring conferences, and our powerful Women Warriors.  We are also reaching through missions such as salvaging the lives of children from sex trafficking, homelessness, counseling and providing education for children in Honduras.

Living Inspired,
