June 5, 2015. You have heard of the double portion God gives to His priests? Today is your day to receive that same blessing of the double portion and to begin celebrating this grace. God is exchanging shame for a double portion of everlasting joy. Joy will begin to replace humiliation you may have had in the past or are now experiencing. God wants you to experience double portion blessings in every area of your life. You receive it through faith and confession. Believe that you have received it and then confess that you have it.

 

Isaiah 61:7 (NASB) "Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs." Ras Robinson

June 5, 2015. This isn't the time to move forward. There are things which have not been done that need to be done. If they aren't done now, they will affect the time when you move forward again. There are also things going on in your body that are causing discomfort. The combination of this is making it hard to be thankful. But do it anyway. Your body will respond to your thankful thoughts and words. I know this takes patience and endurance. Beloved, I have strengthened you with power for this season.

 

Colossians 1:11 (NLT) "We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy," Bev Robinson

 


June 5, 2015. Live in a manner worthy of My name. May your life be a picture of righteousness and holy living. Let falsehood be far, far away from where you reside. Satan gives his fair share of accusations against you, so there is no need to contribute fodder to those around you of any transgressions or misconduct. Be an example of one who lives according to My truth which you've been given. May your walk line up with your talk each day! My name is written on your heart. Live blamelessly.  

 

3 John 1:3 (AMP) "In fact, I greatly rejoiced when [some of] the brethren from time to time arrived and spoke [so highly] of the sincerity and fidelity of your life, as indeed you do live in the Truth [the whole Gospel presents]."  Kevin Robinson

Hello Readers, Partners, Sponsors, Friends and Family,

 

We at FCM know that some of our sponsored children are going to bed hungry. Others are anxious about their next little meal. For several months we paid out more for feeding the children than we received for that purpose. We used up our reserves and have now had to cut back on the amount sent to our pastors for feeding the children. It hurts to think of them being hungry.


Of the nearly 900 sponsored children we had last school year, some graduated, others moved away or dropped out for other reasons. In the past we have replaced them with new children who needed to be sponsored. But this year we could not do it. This has resulted in a reduction in the number of sponsored children to just over 800. All this breaks our hearts because so many children are praying and hoping to be included.


Some who have faithfully supported the children have had to cut back. Because of lost jobs or other income sources they could not continue the support. As we prayed and wept, this passage illuminated itself to us: "But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16 (NASB)


We (Ras and Bev and Kathy) heard God say to cut our salaries by half effective May 1. It has meant some adjustments for us. However we see this as an investment in the lives of the children and pastors God has given us.  


Would you pray and consider joining us in making an investment in the lives of the children? You are our partners. Consider this as you make your decision: Luke 5:7 (AMP) "They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink."

 

We are calling out for help to bring in the large catch. It is time. God is moving in the Philippines. You can be part of what He is doing. 

 

If God puts it on your heart to invest in young lives in the Philippines and help bring in the big catch, please go to: Donate.  

 

God bless you. We appreciate you.

Ministry to Children in the Philippines

It is a special treat on Saturday morning when the children at the garbage dump are given boiled eggs for breakfast. This particular Saturday there was an abundance and everyone could have 2 eggs if they wanted them. Of course, they all did and they were very happy.

A BIG THANK YOU to all you Partners, Sponsors and Friends who make it possible to feed hundreds of hungry children. 

Do you sponsor children in other lands? A sponsor makes a life changing impact on the life of a child and often on the family of that child. Only $30 a month per child will provide everything needed for school as well as assistance with food and nutrition and pastoral care and discipleship. The nation of the Philippines is being transformed. God is raising up a new generation of young Christians who will be used by Him in the months and years ahead. I encourage you to sponsor a child or help feed hungry children. Your life will be enriched and a child's life will be changed.
