From the Holy Scripture:

"I assure you that they gave what they could afford and even more than they could afford and they did it voluntarily. 

They urgently begged us for the privilege of sharing in this service for the saints. They even exceeded our expectations, because they gave themselves to the Lord first and to us, consistent with God's will."  2 Corinthians 8:3-5 

In a very profound and life changing way on September 28th Jesus revealed to me that in one area of my life I needed to be 'free'. In dealing with the subject of money I always avoid discussing our needs and vision with others except with our board of directors. God has a big funnel of blessing to pour out and I had restricted His putting the money into our hands by having only a small spout. In my life I have felt totally free and unrestrained...yet with money I have been afraid to offend anyone and I have just prayed for Jesus to help us make it from one day or month to the next. Denise and even my adult children as I have shared with them all say that it is so hard for me to be open to the financial blessings of the Lord.

I saw that in this I had hurt my precious Lord Jesus and have quenched the desires of others to greatly bless us and have them share in the great treasure of this ministry in even greater ways. I have repented with tears and now simply welcome what Jesus wants to give and what He lays on the hearts of others to give.

Acts 2:17

"I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughter will prophesy.

Your young will see visions.

Your 'Old Men' shall dream dreams

So after much prayer and discussion with my wife and children and even knowing the desires on my grandchildren I lay this before you.

A husband, father, grandfather on this my 71st Birthday

(This is also the desire of Denise as we are one)

Home

1. We plan to sell our present home and get a larger size home in another part of Denver near our church and Sophia's school. This will cut down on driving in traffic, save money and time and settle our family.
2. We will close our current office space where we pay rent, parking, phone, Internet and off-site storage. We desire a home with a large walk out basement that will become our complete office space. As so much is now done via text, e-mail and phone I could now just work from home and save on so many expenses. We can get a larger home and by combining it with the office we can save almost fifty percent in costs! 
3. My desire is that we will be able to greatly reduce the mortgage or pay off the house soon. What a blessing it would be to be debt free.

Family and Ministry

1. To have Sophia near her Christian school and church and friends. To train her in the way of Jesus, prayer, knowledge, evangelism, healing and ministry as Jesus leads her.
2. My son Joshua and wife Nina and their three children live in Norway. Joshua is the best trained evangelist and teacher in the world. We would love to see them in world evangelism and teaching.
3. Gina, my oldest daughter is the best trained and compassionate street and outreach minister. She has been in the streets sharing Jesus and serving the poor and troubled all her life around the world. She ministers here in Denver with her two adult children, Jerusha and Gideon along with several others of my grandchildren, Angel, Jacob and Jordan. Yet she cleans houses to live but needs to be full time cleaning the streets and peoples lives with the love and message of Jesus.
4. We also want to be able to help my other children go in ministry as Jesus leads them. My eldest son Joel is a pastor at the Potter's House in Denver.
5. I have trained these most wonderful children around the world and they are awesome. It breaks my heart to see them struggle as they trying to go out in ministry. I just know the blessings are going to flow into them.

Ministry and Outreach

1. I do desire that our website at www.blessitt.com will become an inspiration and training center where people from around the world can study and learn the message of the gospel of Jesus and how to share Jesus with others. We now have nine of my books on blessitt.com for free online reading. Hundreds of teachings on how to live and follow Jesus and also a list of every nation and major island group that you can click on and see the cross in photos and stories. But this is just a start. 
2. We want to do a documentary focused on Denise and the crosswalk. She has been in 294 nations and islands, driving in front with supplies. She has been with me on every overseas crosswalk for the past twenty one years! We need to tell her story. We have the answer. We have the man. Soon I pray we will have the office for him to work in and the money to pay for him to work fulltime. We also have dozens of hours of me talking and sharing about the crosswalk around the world that needs to be transcribed and put on the website.
3. I feel great fulfillment in sharing on TBN TV hosting "Praise the Lord" in Denver and sometimes in other cities. We have a weekly TV program on TBN called "The Message of the Cross" shown every Tuesday at 7pm EST. This is the largest Christian TV network in the world broadcasting worldwide. We reach tens of millions of people a month with preaching and teaching.
4. I host some great guests focusing on sharing Jesus and salvation. Also I preach at the end of these programs. It takes days of preparation for these messages and days of filming outdoors for the 'Message of the Cross' programs.

The Cross Walk

1. Even thought we completed every nation and major island group June 13, 2008 we 'still' carry the cross. We do special crosswalks in America and overseas. This year we have carried the cross in Israel, Palestine, Northern Ireland, Poland and England.
2. Just this month in October I reached another walking milestone: 39,500 miles! Jesus did it. God willing I'm pressing in on toward forty thousand miles. Wow.
3. Later this year we are going to the world's newest nation: South Sudan! Pray for us on that cross mission. It is a hugely expensive trip and we want to help needy families and children as well as carry the cross and share salvation in Jesus. This is an immediate need in paying for the tickets, etc.
4. We are praying and free to go in the U.S. and overseas to speak and minister in rallies, Bible colleges, mission schools, outreach ministries etc where our witness can really count with people eager to hear and act.
5. We truly desire to help Godly men and women in or going into fulltime ministry. Together we can invest in the treasures of God...'People' who want to share Jesus with others and make disciples in all nations.  
6. My passion is to share Jesus with every person on earth, in every nation and inhabited island group...wow that is a big one!

As for me...

I love Jesus and I love people. I stay focused on Jesus! He is everything and worthy of all. I would be thrilled to be able to be a part of taking these steps to bless others in getting into fulltime ministry.

I am happy. I love my wife and seven children and eleven grandchildren. I am at peace yet the Fire of the Holy Spirit burns brighter than ever before.

I don't know why it took me so long to get my blind eyes opened in the area of money.

It took the mission of God to connect Denise and I in spending a day with Andrew and Jamie Wommack to have Jesus show me my failure and my failings to let others pass on the desire to be an unrestrained part of this ministry. Andrew and I share the same passion for Jesus. That day that we spent with them was one of the most awesome times of our lives.

We spoke at the Charis Bible College in Colorado Springs and was at one their pastor's conferences. 

I know some of you will want to sow into this mission and into the lives of my family and into the mission fields of the world.

For me not to offer the opportunity for you to be partakers in these lives and ministry for Jesus would be a great failure on my part.

Pilgrim followers of Jesus,

Arthur, Denise and Sophia Blessitt
