The creation of this new site has been a two year dream. We have a totally new look with hundreds of photos from around the world.
A list of every nation and major island group with stories and photos. I have a 'blog' where I'm posting new and up-to-date content plus I've been posting on Facebook & Twitter, etc. These blogs will not be seen in their entirety anywhere else. I will be opening my heart sharing new revelation and teachings mixed with what is happening in our lives. There will also be a place for you to comment.
Our new website store is easy to use where you can get "The Cross" DVD, book and soundtrack plus many DVD's including our latest addition "The Cross Museum" my all time favorite.
We have 10 free books for online reading, including The Cross, Arthur a Pilgrim, Turned on to Jesus, etc.
Special features like 'Adventure Travel Tips' 'How to make a cross' 'Historical moments' and 'How many miles did Jesus and Mary walk?' plus many more.
We have a couple of hundred articles that I have written that you can use as daily devotions which are a mixture of the Bible combined with real life experiences. We also have a calendar of events with a clock countdown.
Our 'Donate' is an easy way to support the taking of the cross and the message of Jesus to the world.
Bookmark this site so you can come back again and again. You will be blessed. This site will now be the hub of our entire Social Media ministry as well as the place where you can come to know of upcoming preaching, TV, and carrying the cross events. It's easy to forward this site to friends.
I totally recommend the creative team of Kyle and the website creation team called Tag Team a commercial company located in south Denver. They can help you with building your website no matter where you live. Check them out.
We say this because it's true. We were not paid in any form to say this.
San Bernardino, CA. tragedy!
Denise, Sophia and I joined with Dr. Bill Henderson 'The pastor of disaster' and sponsoring pastors at The Cross Church with Pastors Miguel and Bernadette Tovar in San Bernardino along with hundreds of pastors and lay people in a "Memorial Prayer March" for the people who were killed in the savage radical Islamic terror attack and for the suffering wounded, families, emergency service people and the police.
It was a deeply moving experience full of the power of Jesus and Hope and Loving comfort. Many came to Jesus that day. Thanks to all the people who came out to march and take a stand in public that we will not allow evil to take over our land in the Name of Jesus.
The next night we shared at The Way World Outreach, a huge church in San Bernardino with Pastors Marco and Liza Garcia. People coming to Jesus filled the entire front of the church and down the aisles. It was Holy Glory.
Sunset Strip Hollywood
Following San Bernardino we went to Sunset Strip for a few days. We walked the Strip like I did back in 1967 when I first moved to Hollywood. With Denise filming I showed the places and told stories of where I'd ministered. She will edit them into a historic short film that we will put up on YouTube.
We did a Go Live 5 minute clip that reached over 33,000 people. This was very profound for me. But praise God I can draw from the memories but we are living now! Still sharing Jesus as I did then. That's where I made the cross and started carrying it some in 1968.
Go Live streaming with Arthur Blessitt on Facebook This is truly turning into a powerful life changing fellowship of friends from around the world. We minister from the Bible and from my experiences with the cross around the world. People ask questions or make comments. After I complete the ministry time we take a 5 minute break and then return live to share the comments. This is powerful because it lets the people minister to the world as well as pray and minister to each other. We are reaching from 200,000 to 300,000 a month or more just on Facebook. We have about 150 new people join each week (one week almost 300). Our top Go Live was 175,439 reached on one program!
This means that through our Social Media sites, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and our website blessitt.com we are reaching tens of thousands a week and I'm flooded with e-mails, comments and phone calls, etc. I personally handle all of this. Floods of people saved and getting on fire for Jesus, etc. We need your prayers in all of this as it's taking the cross into the homes of the people of the world and sharing two-way with them. Too glorious to explain. At first it was just me doing the talking and Denise filming. Now we have more equipment and last Sunday Sophia was with me reading the scripture and making comments and Denise joined in and before long we all three were praying for people. How wonderful to have my family on with me. Almost all TV and Radio etc., just want me as their guest but with our own live streaming from our office or the streets we can share as a family and they are great.
We now get more direct response from Social Media programing than I ever do on other large international media shows which is stunning. We had to buy some new computers that are ultra fast to keep up with the witness.
The Cross Walk
Yes, after reading all the above you must wonder if I still carry the cross? We carried the cross in all the above events plus I still carry the cross in Colorado. I have a new lighter weight cross for Colorado which helps with less weight on my knees and I'm also losing weight to help. I don't really need to lose weight but I am so I can help keep these knees working. Starting last week I am walking in full stride again carrying the cross. I still have some pain that come and go but am really excited about what I can do by the grace of God rather than what I can't do. I'm a forward man.....Glory!
Denise and I have worked so hard and so long on all of this it makes me tired just writing and reading this. And it's only the short version. Makes me want to take a real vacation. Ha, Oh, well I can't even remember what that's like!
We need your love, support and prayers. We thank you for caring and so many of you stepping up to help us carry to load that Jesus has given.
Now with our new website the response will be huge I'm sure.
We love you all. God bless you in the New Year.
