To All NY13 Steering Committee Members and Supporters
2013 Metro New York Evangelism
 On December 13 and 14 we "Celebrated Christ at Christmas" and rejoiced in the harvest of souls in New York 2013. The awesome musical renditions and messages of appeal by pastors Ted Wilson and Mark Finley at the Linden church in Queens on Friday night were inspiring. The Saturday evening program repeat in Manhattan at Hunter College (never mind the snow storm that somewhat eclipsed our attendance) was equally a blessing. Both events were watched live by countless thousands on Hope Channel and 3ABN broadcasts and www.auam.tv streaming.
Once again, the pleasure is mine to say a big "Thank You" to each of you for your involvement in NY13 this year in Metro New York City. The Lord has blessed mightily with a reaping of precious souls (almost 5,000 baptisms thus far and counting). We praise God for every person whose life has been touched as a result of NY13. Compared to the large masses of this urban metropolis, our efforts may seem "grasshopper-like in a land of giants." Nevertheless, we believe God can take these efforts and results and multiply them many times over as the work goes forward into the future--a notion we refer to as "NY13 and Beyond."
We're thankful for the support of our church members and friends, the Bible/health workers, pastors and
teachers, administrators and their spouses in all five Conferences, two unions, the North American Division, General Conference, and the world divisions that sent evangelists to New York City to assist us. We shall always be grateful to God for the spirit of cooperation that resulted in such a historic moment in time as demonstrated by the first-ever NY13 Joint Camp Meeting of the Greater New York and Northeastern conferences.
May the spirit of NY13 serve to inspire many other urban cities around the world by and through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the meantime, do enjoy a delightful holiday season and a blessed New Year.
Sincerely yours . . . and His,
Donald G. King
President, Atlantic Union Conference, and
Chairman, NY13 Steering Committee
