​Dear Ministry Partners,
 
If you would have told me a month ago that my car and home would have been flooded, my iPhone disabled, and my Facebook temporarily deactivated, I would not have believed you. In that last 30 days all of these things have happened to me. The good news is the Jesus in me has overcome the world. It has caused me to be stronger and to face adversity straight on. When my car was restored from being flooded we found a treasured ring and watch belonging to one of my nephews. I was also able to minister to someone at the car restore company who had recently lost someone very close to them.
 
From the first flooding of my home both of my bathrooms were completely renovated giving it a brand new look. From the second flooding the remaining part of my home is being renovated also. (Thank God for insurance.) From my phone being disabled I learned the importance of having copies of everything. Plus I met amazing people in the process of my phone being restored. I also learned during my Facebook event, I am learning to pray for my enemies that they will repent and turn to God. In the bible it says in Matthew 5:44; “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
 
God’s word is very clear on how to deal with challenges in our lives. It says in James 1:2-4; “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
 
Life can be tough and storms will come but how we respond to them can make us pitiful or powerful the choice is ours. Choose life because we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Don’t give up!
 
Because of your support and love offerings we are able to continue to minister in local churches, conferences, women’s bible studies, missions such as sex trafficking abuse and homelessness, counseling, young adult ministries, church plants and providing sponsorship education for children in Honduras. Without your generosity this could not be made possible.

Pressing On,
Marilyn
