Brothers and sisters in Christ,

What a wonder it is that we who were dead in trespasses and sin, have been made alive! Think about this! "God who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, mad us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus!" (Eph.2:2-7) GLORY to the Lamb that was slain to redeem us to God! "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!...Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, forever and ever!!"(Rev.5:9,12,14) Look back at Ephesians. We were redeemed to be Billboards for His glory!! "He made us alive!...Raised us up...that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus!... to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery...to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church!...To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever! Amen!" (Eph.25-7,3:9-10,21) 

PRAY~\o/~That the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in His church! May our hearts burn with passion for the Word of God written and Living! May we be doers of the Word and not just hearers! We cannot live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God! (Matt.4:4)

PRAISE the LORD!~\o/~His word never returns void! This past week, we have received phone calls in response to the Gospel tracts that are going out in the city! On the back of tracts it says, "Need Prayer, call 917-565-4864" We have received calls saying, "Is this the prayer hotline?" One man called and said is this the church that prays?" I thought..."Amen!" That is the desire of Christ Jesus, that we be the church that prays!"

PRAISE the LORD~\o/~JESUS is mighty to save!! On Sunday the Lord brought two new people out to church. In the afternoon, we received a phone call from a man in need of prayer. He told me that he felt captive to alcohol. He said, "How is this possible, I hear voices telling me to drink. I spend my whole paycheck on alcohol. I need to be free!" We prayed on the phone. Right there He called on the name of the Lord Jesus and asked Christ to be his Lord and Savior!!! HALLELUJAH!!! Our God is mighty to save! "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved! Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!" (Rom.10:9-13) 

PRAY~\o/~that the Word of the LORD would continue to be glorified and bear fruit! (2.Thess.3:1) Last Tuesday as we were out on Street ministry, a young lady asked, "Can God forgive all sin?" What a joy to show from the Word of God, "The blood of Jesus cleanses from ALL sin!" (1.John 1:7) HALLELUJAH!! Pray that the Lord would open eyes and set captives free! So many are blinded and bound by sin and satan. One man last week said that he was in a Catholic Church, and an Angel appeared to him and said, "All roads lead to heaven." The Word of God warns, that in the last days people would give head to deceiving spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1.Tim.4:1-2) PRAY that the Gospel would go forth in power and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance!! (1.Thess.1:5) PRAY that the LORD would work mightily, and save a people for His glory!! "Neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase!!!" (1.Cor.3:7)

We thank the LORD for you! We so covet your prayers! These are days of darkness, but Christ Jesus is our Light and life! May the LORD continue to quicken our hearts more and more for the glory of His name!! ~Eph.5:14-20

All Glory 2 the Lamb!
Till We see His face!

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Praise the Lord!!! "The LORD is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid!" (Ps.27:1) Jesus said, "I Am the light of the world! He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life!" (John 8:12) Remember when the Apostle Paul was converted. He was in darkness. He hated the light, and was seeking to do away with the people of the way, but "At mid day!!!..." He saw "a light from heaven, brighter than the sun!" (Acts 27:13) This was the moment that the Lord said, "Saul, I'm calling you out!!!"  Remember what Paul who was once named Saul said. "You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord! Walk as children of light!" You and I have been called out of darkness into the marvelous light of Jesus Christ!! May we never lose the wonder of it all!! Walk in the Light! Rejoice in the Light!!! Jesus said, "A city on a hill cannot be hid!!....Let your light so shine before men!" (Matt.5:14,16) Dwight L. Moody the fiery evangelist said, "It does not say, make your light shine. If it is really a light it will shine in spite of you - only don't hide it under a bushel. Let it shine!! Confess Christ everywhere!!" 

Go everywhere!! Tell everybody!! ~ We have received orders from Above!! "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature!" (Mark 16:15) We serve a mighty Savior, who is able to save to the uttermost! (Heb.7:25) "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation! Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new!" (2.Cor.5:17) 

PRAY~\o/~that the LORD would SO~Set His church ABLAZE, that Jesus would shine bright through His people! Pray that the Word of God would be glorified and bring fruit that remains for His glory! "Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" (Ps.85:6)

PRAISE THE LORD~\O/~for the laborers He is sending out into the streets! This Saturday, we have a team coming down from New Brunswick Bible Institute in Canada. They will be with us for a week of outreach ministry. They will be hitting the streets + subways with the Good News! They will also be ministering in the Church. The following Saturday a team will be coming from Lafayette Federated Church in New Jersey. They will be saturating the Hunts Point area with the Good News!

PRAY~\o/~that the Lord would ignite our hearts with His burden for souls! Pray that the Lord would open hearts to the Word of God! Pray that the Lord would bring conviction upon hearts over sin, and of the urgent need for salvation! Pray for repentance, regeneration, and rejoicing in the risen Lord Jesus!! LORD~\o/~"Let Your work appear...and Your glory!! Establish the work of our hands!" (Ps.90:16-17)

We covet your prayers!! NO PRAYER~NO POWER!! Please pray for our outreach ministry this week. Pray for strength and boldness to proclaim Christ crucified, risen, and coming again!! Pray that the Lord would draw hearts to Himself as Christ Jesus is lifted up!! 

Thank you for standing with us in this ministry! 
May the Lord strengthen you by His grace to Live for His glory!!
Keep Burning 4 Jesus!!
