1st Edition of the Doulos Newsletter
I am very excited to welcome
you to the first edition of our newsletter. We will be sending this to you once
a month to keep you informed about all that is going on in the ministry and how
you can be involved.
This publication is designed
to keep you up to date about our efforts domestically, which will include
things like chapter development and fundraising events. It will also keep you
informed about what is happening internationally, which will include updates
and reports about how our church planting efforts are going and how God is
changing the lives of people on the ground in places like Cuba, Mexico, and
India.
One of the things that are
very important to me and to the team at Doulos Partners is to get feed back
from you. So as we go forward please respond to the things that you are
experiencing through the newsletter. We want you to get to know us better but
we want to get to know you better as well. If you would like to know us even
better, click on our logo above to take you automatically to our website. We are excited about how God is going
to use us together to advance the name of Jesus among the nations.

2009 Golf Tournaments
Mobile, Birmingham, Atlanta, and Savannah
The
Lord has greatly blessed the efforts of many with the three completed golf
fundraisers that we have done this year. The Mobile tournament was held on
March the 18th. The Birmingham Tournament was played on August the
15th. The Atlanta tournament was held through the driving rain on
September 16th. The
guys in Atlanta get a special thank you for playing in very difficult
conditions.
These
three tournaments were very successful. We raised almost $100,000 for our
ministry. This could not have happened without the hard work of over 100
volunteers that participated. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank
you, and thank you.
We
are very excited about an up-coming golf event that is going to take place on
October the 28th in Savannah Georgia. We have 24 golfers so far that
have agreed to participate. Please pray that the Lord will bless their efforts.
One
final thing. Steve Webb, who played in our Birmingham tournament, is pictured
in this edition of the newsletter. If you notice he is somewhat perplexed as to
 what club to hit. After much prayer and help from his playing partners Beau
Cottrell, Jack Cornelius, and Gregg Riley, he hit a great shot. Who says prayer
does not work? Beau, Jack and Gregg could never come to a consensus on
anything.
Thanks
again for everyone's help with our fundraisers. Your efforts are making a
difference in the kingdom.

 Cuba Trip
November 8-13th 2009
We
are very excited about our upcoming trip to Cuba. There will be a group of us
going to preach, teach, train, baptize, encourage, pray for, and to love on the
people there. God is doing a great work in Cuba and it is incredible to get to
be a part of it.
Right
now we have a network of 1500 churches there which are averaging between 10,000
and 15,000 conversions per month. They are doing a wonderful job of reaching
their country for Christ. Please
be praying for them as they continue to be bold in their witness and for us as
we travel and partner with these Doulos followers of Christ. Also, please be
praying for our families while we are away that the Lord will protect them and
keep them well.

In closing, I would love to
thank you for your support of our ministry. As many of you know, we believe in
investing in nationals so that they can reach their own country with the
life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Without your financial and prayer
support the things that are being accomplishing would not be possible.
Please continue to pray
about how you can partner with us. Maybe you feel lead to start or to be a part
of one our Doulos Chapters. Maybe the Lord is leading you to head up a golf
tournament or to be one of the golfers who are helping us by getting sponsors
for them to play. Maybe the Lord wants you to give generously because the Lord
has blessed you financially and He wants you to support the thousands of people
on the ground that need our help. Maybe he wants you to go with us on one of
our trips so that you can see first hand God at work in a place where the
people have so little but the ministry is so rich. If you are interested in
being more involved with our team, please contact us as soon as possible and we
will help you get plugged in.
Thanks again for time spent
reading this newsletter and we can't wait to send out the November edition so
that we can tell you even more about what is going on in the life of Doulos
Partners. Remember, as you go about your regular daily life you may be the only
Jesus that someone sees so live accordingly.
Sincerely,
David Johnson
Doulos Partners
