| Greetings!
|
 As we begin a new year - The Year of the Lord 2008 (not the Year of the Rat or 2008 C.E.) my wife joins with me in wishing you only God's best and His blessing throughout His new year.
This is promising to be a great year for His Church as we follow the leading of His Spirit. It will be a year of changing priorities and a new focus - that of reaching out to the lost on a daily basis.
New foundations will be poured for existing churches to prepare them for the harvest of new disciples which will be entering the assembly of the believers as we reach out. New churches will be planted to begin the work of the harvest in areas that currently do not have a witness for the Gospel. Not just overseas but right here in North America. Annual statistics have constantly shown us that a smaller and smaller percentage of the population have heard or understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ in spite of our efforts and the electronic media. 2008 is the beginning of the turn-around as we listen to the Spirit and obey; changing our perspective, focus, and priorities so that we begin to touch our nations for the Lord one person at a time.
Thank you for being a part of Ralph Howe Ministries and our apostolic outreach to the lost here in North America (and overseas). We appreciate your interest in this ministry and your prayerful and financial support of the apostolic work that the Lord has called us to.

that some of the activities we have been involved in have not been
producing the fruit that we thought they would. A good example of this
is Bill Hybels and Willow Creek's admission that their programming and
approach has not been producing mature, reproducing disciples of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

Misconceptions About The Apostolic Office
|
 When we think about a model for the role and ministry of the
apostle today - most often we think of Paul and his wonderful ministry
as found in the New Testament. However, obviously he was not the only
apostolic ministry in New Testament times. So, our first misconception -
- Paul is not the standard for all apostles
