Doulos Partners - Newsletter   December, 2010
David

Greetings!

     I pray that you and your families have had a great 2010. It is hard to believe that we are just days away from beginning a new year. It seems like the older that I get the faster time goes by. That is why it is so important for us to serve the Lord with a sense of urgency.

     The Lord has blessed our ministry in an incredible way this year. Working together with our partners in Cuba, India, Nepal, Mexico, and Pakistan, we have seen 2,100 new churches planted this year. That brings the total number of churches in our network to almost 7,000. Not only has the Lord blessed us with new church plants this year, He has also blessed us with 87,000 new believers. Wow, God is so good!

     I tell you these amazing numbers for two reasons: 1) To give all the glory for the harvest to the Lord. Only God can bring life change and we fully recognize that what has been accomplished is through His power. 2) To thank each of you who have invested financially, given leadership, gone to the field, and prayed for the work. What you do matters! What you give matters! The prayers that you voice matter! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your partnership.

   I hope that you will read the rest of this newsletter. There are several very important things that we want to share with you. However, in closing my personal part of our last publication of 2010, let me say again thank you for all that you have contributed to our ministry and we pray that you and your family will have a very safe and wonderful Christmas.

Dios te bendiga (God bless you)

David

New Positions

We have developed a plan that expands out in concentric circles from Birmingham to Nashville, Atlanta, Huntsville, Montgomery, Jackson, Charlotte, Memphis, etc. We are looking for people who are grounded in the Bible, serve in their local churches, have an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and are passionate about carrying the name of Jesus to the nations.

     We will be posting on our website at www.doulospartners.org in the next couple of weeks the profile of the person that we are looking for and more information about these positions. In the mean time, if you are interested or know of someone who might be interested, please click here to go to the "contact us" link on our website and give us your information and someone will follow up with you very soon.


Upcoming Trips

2011 Trip Schedule

     We would like to invite you to join us as we carry the name of Jesus around the world for 2011. Right now we have 7 trips planned and would love to have you join us. After looking over the schedule, please prayerfully consider where the Lord would have you to go and to share. The trips that we have planned so far for next year are as follows:


Cuba     February 12 - 19       Cost - $2,500.00


Mexico      April 9 - 16            Cost - $2,500.00

           

Mexico     June 18 - 25           Cost - $2,500.00

           

Cuba     July 2 - 9  (Medical)   Cost - $2,500.00

           

Cuba        July 9 - 16             Cost - $2,500.00


India     September (Finalize Dates in January)                                               Cost - $3,000.00


Cuba    November 5 - 12        Cost - $2,500.00

     The trips that we go on are all designed to share the gospel. We do that in many different ways. For instance, the medical group that we will be taking to Cuba will be going on a Scientific Exchange Visa. However, each medical team member will be able to share the gospel with the Cuban medical personnel as well as with each patient.

     The other trips will be doing things like: bagging food, delivering it to the poor and sharing our faith as we go, sharing testimonies in worship services, leading worship, singing, preaching, teaching, baptizing, playing with children and sharing Bible stories with them and much more. We do all of our trips to support churches that we have planted so that they can reach more people with the gospel and to be able to follow up and disciple them after we are gone.  If you would like more information about some of these trips and would like someone from our team to contact you please click here to go to the "contact us" link on our website and we will contact you very soon.


Year End Giving

     As you know, Doulos Partners could not do what it does without your generous donations. We have seen difficult economic times all around us and yet the mandate to go and make disciples has not changed because of our failing economy.

     There are thousands and thousands of people who need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. We have church planters who are trained and ready to plant a new church right now but who are waiting on funding. Please do not forget to include us in your year-end giving. The investments that you make truly bring life change. Thank you again for your generosity in the past, and my prayer is that you will dig deep in the last days of this year so that we can start more churches in the first part of next year.

     If you would like to give online, you can click here to go to the "donations" link on our website and give. Again, thank you for your gift and have a wonderful Christmas.
