A WONDERFUL YEAR 2011
We cannot believe that another year has almost come and gone! If this is not a sign of the times, how fast the years are passing by, I don't know what is. But God, how faithful He shows Himself year to year without fail. As we look back on this year, musing over all God's blessings, we truly have to say this has been a wonderful year for us in the ministry, our marriage and our personal lives! Truly He has been an exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think kind of God! And the good part is we know there is more to come. With that said we want to thank all our faithful ministry partners for all your parayers and faithful givings without which we would not have been able to see and experience such an incredible year, you make us look good as we endeavor to do all that God has given us to do with integrity and excellence. WE MAKE A GREAT TEAM!
Eph. 3:20-21 KJV Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (21) Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
MINISTRY FACILITY IN PERU
We are in the process of looking for a building or property that will serve to both house our living and ministry facility. It has been a long time coming but we sense in our spirits that the timing is right and it is time that we begin to establish a ministry base here in Arequipa, Peru! There is so much that still needs to be done here and we know that God will begin to accelerate things as we get closer to the coming of Christ and we want to be in the middle of what God is doing. Having our own ministry facilty will be a tremendous blessings in helping us to be able to minister to pastors, have seminars and conferences any time we need to without the limits we encountered when looking for hotels or other facilities to hold our meetings. As we have more details we will post updates in our monthly newsletter and blog site. Stand together with us in prayer as we begin our search and head to a new chapter in our life and ministry!

 A STRANGE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
There was once a great king. His love for his people knew no limits. Although the kingdom was very large, the king knew every person by name. Everything the people of the kingdom had was a gift freely given by the loving king. So, to show their love and appreciation to the king for all he had done for them, the people decided to have a great celebration to honor his birthday. Everyone agreed it was a marvelous idea. Preparations for the celebration were very elaborate. No expense was spared by the people. They adorned their homes with lights, decorations, and expensive ornaments. There were parties, dinners, and celebrations throughout the kingdom.
All the people brought gifts for their friends and family. Many of the gifts which the people gave each other were quite expensive, involving considerable indebtedness. In fact, the people spent more on the birthday celebration than they spent at any other time of the year.
Many who were not citizens of the kingdom, and who did not even know the king, joined in the celebration. Their celebration of the king's birth was marked by excessive drinking. Since they did not know the king, they invented a good-natured, fat fellow in a red suit. He laughed a lot, but never said anything. But that didn't matter because they were too busy celebrating to listen anyhow.
The great day of celebrating his birth finally arrived, and some of his people did come bringing gifts and thanking him for his goodness to them. But to his dismay, most of the citizens never came to his house at all on the day of celebration. And the gifts brought to the king by those few who came were very meager when compared with the gifts they had given themselves.
For the most part the people said they had been so busy with all the celebrations and personal plans that they had forgotten about the king. Several said they had thought of him, but really could not work it into their schedules or budgets to come see him or bring a gift. A few were known to be quite put out when it was suggested that going to the king's house or remembering him with a gift was important.
Those people who did come to his house and who brought their loving gifts were welcomed and blessed by the king. But when they had gone and he was alone again, the king fell to thinking of the vast numbers of his people who had forgotten and forsaken him. How could they have forgotten? Had he not loved them all? How could so many of his beloved people who had found the time and money for shopping and feasting and partying and decorating and all sorts of celebrations--how could they possibly be so thoughtless, so ungrateful or selfish? Did they not know that he, too, had feelings? Was not the purpose of the birthday celebration originally planned to honor him?
When the king was alone, pondering these questions, he felt the tears well up in his eyes. And in his loneliness, he wept. One thought brought some hope and consolation. Even though they had forgotten him, he had not forgotten them. |

God has commissioned all believers with His GREAT COMMISSION:
Mar 16:15 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
This commission can be fulfilled one of two ways; going your self or helping someone else to go!
Many sense in their heart the need to do something in missions but do not have it in their hearts to go, the logical solution for those who feel like this would be to help those to go whom God has called and commissioned to go.
If this is you Charles Dean Ministries Int'l, Inc. is good ground to partner with!
When you partner with any ministry you are partnering with God to fulfill His GREAT COMMISSION in the earth.
