Greetings!
Ralph HoweWelcome to all those who have recently signed up to receive this twice monthly e-newsletter from our ministry. I am really glad that you are now a part of our growing family of believers who sense that God is up to something great as He restores the ministry of the apostle to His Church.

Our workload here at Ralph Howe Ministries is expanding at a tremendous rate and we are excited about the opportunities the Lord is giving to us to minister in His Name around the world. I must admit, however, that with the increased work has come a number of challenges and a tremendous learning curve for me personally. However, the Lord has given to me a number of terrific people behind the scenes to help me.

We are pleased to announce that we are working on a new series of 4 prophetic teachings on the Lord's Word to His Church today to 'move forward' and 'occupy until He comes'. These will be ready for you by the end of May of this year. In the planning stages - a video of an interview I did for local cable television on the ministry of an apostle (soon to be posted on site and free for anyone to watch) as well as two new teachings on DVD that you will be able to purchase which were recently recorded at a great church.

As well, we now have a toll-free number for North America that allows you to connect directly with the office here at Ralph Howe Ministries. The number is 1-866-615-6470. If I am not personally available - your call will automatically be forwarded to my personal assistant (Elizabeth) who always knows where I am and when I will be available to call you back.

Last, but not unimportant, you can now make "designated" donations for the mission trips we have planned for this year. We have worked with our on-line payment structure to allow your gifts for mission work to remain separate from general donations to the ministry and your purchase transactions. And, please note that our web site is now hosting my daily blog where you can join with me in discussing the things that the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church today as well as events that are in the news and affect the Kingdom. Give it a visit; you will be glad you did.

Take a few minutes and read the prophetic word in this issue of the e-newsletter and the current installment of teachings on the ministry of the apostle. Feedback is always welcomed.

Blessings!

Ralph
Understanding Anointings
Apostles versus Prophets
For someone to function in the office of apostle or prophet they need to be anointed by the Lord Himself. The Five-fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher (Ephesians 4:11) is a gift from the Lord given to the Church when He ascended into Heaven. Having fulfilled all five ministry roles Himself during His earthly ministry, the giftings were separated and placed upon a number of people who, working together as a team, would then have the fullness of the ministry of Jesus.

Prophetic Insights ... By Ralph Howe
FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE IN YOUOpen The Eyes Of The Blind

The Lord is wanting His Church - you and me - to be telling others of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This gospel, Paul tells us, is the "power of God unto salvation." And people today do not know this Gospel that leads people to the recognition that they are sinners and deserve to go to Hell. It is this Gospel that enables the Holy Spirit to "convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment."

Book Reviews
Apostolic Team MinistriesApostolic Team Ministries
By: Scott Wallis

Scott Wallis tackles a topic I have not seen handled in any of the other books that I have reviewed for this web site. He writes about receiving Heaven's provision on Earth. However, long before he gets to this topic he spends the majority of the book dealing with apostolic teams. Thus the main title of the book: APOSTOLIC TEAM MINISTRY.
