Greetings fellow pilgrim followers of Jesus,
You are aware of our ministry of carrying the cross around the world, preaching, teaching about how to share Jesus, TV hosting, and vast personal ministry. These are glory days!
I have had many requests from those who have supported us for years asking me to invite others to join in being partners in sharing Jesus with the world. Those requesting have also felt led to share a pledge amount of support. They have asked that I invite people to pledge support so we can better plan for the next year. You have written, e-mailed and called and after praying I feel you are right. Our partners want to lift our financial load so that I can just stay focused on preparing messages, carrying the cross in different places around the world, also preparing for the TBN TV hosting, preaching and ministering Jesus where He leads us in the world
Jesus: The Field is the World, The Seed is the Word of God, the sower went scattering seed everywhere! That to is our mission and calling.
We have estimated the annual ministry budget for the Arthur Blessitt Evangelistic Association to be $246,000. This includes all travel expenses within the USA and all overseas travel as we minister, all gospel materials and supplies for the crosswalk, running of the ministry office, salaries and other ministry expenses.
At my age I need to prepare, teach, preach, share, carry the cross or do TV in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are seeing more people saved than at anytime in my life and I'm training more people to share Jesus than ever before. On some of the programs I'm on and meetings I preach the response is almost unbelievable. And walking with the cross people come rushing up for hope, love, prayer, healing and salvation. Seeds that we planted in our 40,000 miles on the road with the cross through the decades are still bearing fruit today. We were able to purchase a thousand-dollar projector for an African mission group to enter remote villages in Africa to show "The Cross." (They are based in a village where I preached in 1974!) God willing, we will continue advancing God's kingdom as we help others in Pakistan, etc.
You watched the movie "The Cross" now you can help us carry the cross on...
I have prayed about what our supporters asked me about and the Lord has led me to write this letter. Now, would you kindly pray and ask Him how you might commit to stand with us for these needs? I will rejoice in however He leads you.
Our goal is to have all Ministry Partners pledges in our office by my birthday. God willing I will be 72 on October 27th. We are asking God to provide the whole 2013 budget through the generosity of our faithful partners, like you. What a present that will be! I invite new partners to join us from all over the world on this cross mission. We need your prayers, love and help.
