Dear friends and fellow followers of Jesus,
During the past six months since our summer crosswalks we have seen the mighty Glory of the Lord manifested in perhaps the greatest harvest of souls in our lives!
We have hosted TBN TV "Praise the Lord" from two to three times a month from Denver, Costa Mesa, Birmingham, Dallas and Orlando.
We hosted the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Civil Rights Movement in September from Birmingham AL.
I did the introduction for the classic World War II movie "The Scarlet and the Black" starring Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer for TBN movies. As the film ended I came on a split screen and began sharing the message of Jesus starting from the film dealing with forgiveness. When the credits ended it was full screen and I gave the call for salvation in Jesus. The response was unreal. Multitudes were saved and it has played several times and will for the next several years.
My long time dear friend Paul Crouch passed into Glory in late November. He and Jan Crouch were the founders and president of the TBN Family of Networks. I have ministered with them since 1976. Jesus led them in starting one TV station that has become the largest Christian network now reaching the entire world. We flew out and shared with the entire staff of all the stations via live streaming. I also was asked by the family to introduce and do the closing for the memorial TV three hour special tribute to Paul Crouch. He was truly a historic person in helping to reach the world for Jesus.
"The Message of the Cross" is our half hour program about how to share Jesus with others. It is now in its 5th year and airs twice a week on TBN worldwide. Denise and I were in Orlando at the Holy Land Experience preaching and filming for several days in January and we return to do more days of outdoor filming at the Holy Land Experience during late February.
We are preaching, teaching and sharing Jesus with tens of millions of people every month. And just a note, we are not buying time it is all provided for by TBN. I just hosted a two hour program from Dallas this week on the theme of evangelism and people being saved. The response has been overwhelming.
There is a mighty move of the Holy Spirit and awakening is here!!! It's spreading under the radar now but will soon burst forth with what I believe will be the great end-time harvest of souls being saved all over the world. We have the cross that we have carried around the world with me on every program! Oh TBN also showed the movie "The Cross" to the world. Thank you Jesus.
Thanks to Karl Goetsch, we are now expanding the outreach of the cross more than ever on the Internet through our websites and social media. The response is great and growing and with his knowledge it is a joy for me and not a burden. Thanks Karl for the gift of your service in taking the cross to the Internet world. You can follow us on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter as well as our main outlet at www.blessitt.com.
I got a text telling me about a shooting at the Arapahoe High School in south Denver. We phoned our daughter's school nearby to check on her. We had to act. Denise and I put the cross in our car, drove near the school. Bolted the cross together and carried it to a nearby church where parents were waiting for their children. We gave out Palm of the Hand cards and blessed the long lines of people. Many hugging us and the cross and crying and praying. On to the street in front of school and prayed with people there including students. Prayed with two young men concerned for their friend, then he came out and they brought him to us and we all thanked God. He invited Jesus to be his Savior. I've had to comfort many in America and around the world in tragic conditions. Jesus cares but the cure is us sharing Jesus with others that they can know Him and be filled with love and peace and have changed hearts.
We are still carrying the cross here and in other places. People are so responsive. Last year I walked with the cross more miles than any year since 2006, Jesus did it. Oh, I'm now 73 and a half! Feel great. Sophia is so tall, she had her birthday last Thursday on 6th February and is now 10 years old, 5ft. 2 inches tall and is on fire for Jesus. Denise is great and also just had her...??? Birthday. Ha. We are happy and blessed. She still drives ahead as I carry the cross and when we are at home on the road. We are making plans for this summer of carrying the cross overseas. Pray for us and we will need great support for the travel and airline tickets as travel is so expensive. We will press on for souls and for Jesus.
Most of you have seen the movie and read the 14 books I've written but there is so much more. Our office/basement is also a beautiful and moving museum of memorabilia from around the world and from my time on the Sunset Strip. Each piece has a story. The few people that have seen it are overcome and deeply moved. We have the four crosses I've carried, every pair of shoes I've worn, and the many pieces of the crosses that have been broken. Road treasures that tell the story of the real cross walk. What we are doing is that we have bought lights, computer editing equipment, filming equipment. Denise is doing the filming as I hold each piece and tell the story. About five minutes on each piece and then does close up photos of that piece. I open my heart and talk and laugh and cry. Then I'm going to film Denise and have her do the same thing. We have now got all the film footage of Denise and me around the world transferred so it can be used. Sophia is helping with the computer input etc. I felt Jesus wanted us to tell the real story of the crosswalk using the memories collected through the years. There will be many hours of this. Right now we are only focused on getting everything filmed and the stories told. I know Jesus wants me to get this done before I depart into glory. We film some every week. After we get it all done we will think of what to do with it. But I wanted us to do this ourselves, just Denise, Sophia and me. No script, just share the history to inspire the future and bring people to Jesus. The Lord will give the next step later.
We did a day photo shoot of the cross with one of the world's largest news outlets. They sent three people and were so nice. We will let you know later this year when this will come out. It will be a huge witness to millions of people.
The world is truly open before us. I don't have the space to tell you all the people we are sharing Jesus with and the different ways we are sharing Jesus, but it's wonderful.
Denise and I want to say thanks to you our friends, partners and supporters. You have stood with us in a great way this past year and in January. Day after day you have sent support and there has been no drop off in these difficult economic times. We are so proud to have such a team as you ministering together with us. With each of us responding and serving Jesus together we are reaching out to the world with the message of Jesus and the cross and seeing multitudes saved and thousands becoming effective soul winners. You are in our daily prayers and in our hearts and minds. We thank you and we love you. Let us go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name for the Glory of God!
God bless you, Pilgrim followers of Jesus,
Arthur, Denise and Sophia Blessitt
