From my heart
Dear partners and friends, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
I am deeply grateful for your prayers and support in 2008.
This has been a great year for our ministry. We have shared the love of God to many hurting and brokenhearted people around the world through our prayer line, the Daily Word, Divine Connection Newsletters, as well as our radio programs. Many have received salvation, healing, and deliverance through our prayer network. Through your generous financial gifts, we have provided food, shelter, clothing, and school supplies to the needy in Africa as well as in India.
Thank you for being a blessing to this ministry. I pray that God will abundantly bless you and your family this Christmas with His immeasurable riches in Christ Jesus.
With the love of Christ

The Greatest Miracle of all!
No words can describe the awesome glory that shone down upon the shepherds, who were in the fields, tending their sheep that day. It was a day unlike any other day in history! This was the day that the prophets had faithfully proclaimed! . . . Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14).
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Oh, glorious day! God, in human form, came down to earth, to reveal the Father's great love for us, and to give His life as a ransom for the eternal souls of the world. God has revealed Himself to be a mighty, miracle-working God:
· At creation, He spoke the world, sun, moon, stars, and every living creature into existence!
· He formed man out of the dust of the earth and breathed life into him!
· He delivered the children of Israel out of bondage and He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to escape the pursuing Egyptian army!
· He manifested His power and glory on Mt. Sinai and Led His people through the wilderness with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night!
As awesome as these miracles were, the greatest miracle of all unfolded the day that the glory of God shone down, and the angelic hosts of heaven proclaimed Christ's birth, revealing God's master plan. His everlasting love for all mankind. Heaven's glory rolled back, and man's eyes beheld Him. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us! IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God The same was in the beginning with God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. John 1:1-2, 14.
As we celebrate Christmas this demonstration of God's great love to man, I want you, and your loved ones to reflect on the truth behind the greatest miracle of all. Before the foundation of the world, the Father planned to send His son, as the one supreme sacrifice, sufficient to restore mankind into fellowship with Him. He was the pure, spotless, Lamb of God, Who was ... slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8).
Who can fathom the depths of God's great love? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
The Ultimate Expression Of God's Love
See Christ on the Cross. Blood is pouring from His nail-pierced hands and feet. His back had been beaten. His is marred beyond description. The crown of thorns, causes blood to pour down His face. He is hanging there in shame and disgrace. He is being mocked, ridiculed, and spit upon. As you picture Jesus hanging there, remember God's Words of love: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:11,18. Christ gave Himself, knowing that there was not one ounce of power in any human to put Him there. In those final, agonizing moments, God's fathomless love was revealed, as Jesus cried, . . . Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do . . . (Luke 23:34). Darkness covered the earth, and He cried out in agony, . . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Mark 15:34). Then, He spoke three powerful words that have resounded through the ages- . . . It is finished . . . (John 19:30).
God's plan for redeeming mankind from sin was finished! The price had been paid! Man is now forever set free from Satan! The earth shook, and the veil in the temple was torn in two, signifying that the way had been made for man to live in intimate fellowship with the Father. If you need healing, a miracle in your family, or a financial miracle-It is finished! Whatever need you may have, God promises you that IT IS FINISHED!

| Interrupt the schedule of heaven
(Excerpt taken from "Excuse me Lord, but my case is urgent! By Prophetess Nongolo Muteto)
This chapter is for the bold and strong. You will not be free if you allow the masses to stand in your way of freedom. You have got to be agressive and fearless. The crowd was merciless but he was determined (Mark 10: 46-52). With effort, he edged tentatively to the edge of the dusty road and shouted at the top of his voice, breaking protocol. This desperate man is blind Bartimaeus. I call him a hero. Countless articles have been written about this fellow, why? Because he stopped the schedule of heaven. He heard that Jesus, the man who was known to do the impossible was passing by so he positioned himself by the wayside and started screaming desperately for Jesus to help him. He knew Jesus had the key to his freedom. Jesus heard him and stopped. Heaven stopped its activities to tend to this lone blind man. Little did he know this act of boldness would earn him a place in the archives of history.
So now you have to look at your situation carefully and ask yourself a thought provoking question, "who is this uncircumcised philistine that has been taunting me and what am I going to do about it?"
