April-May 2012 Partner Letter

Dear Partners & Friends,

In this Jewish holiday season, God remembers. He remembers YOUR goodness, your love for His people, Israel. He remembers your prayers for her and every kindness shown to her. He remembers that you’ve shared in His desire to “again do good to Israel” . . . He remembers that you’ve stood with her. In this remembrance season the Lord is rewarding your righteousness; He is rewarding all those who favor His righteous cause. To you the Lord declares: “I am rewarding your righteousness!” (Psalm 35:27)

Zechariah spoke of the Lord’s remembrance of a previous event in His relationship with Israel that He, the Lord, was determined to repeat. He was determined to do good concerning His people. When it comes to the Lord and His Word every remembrance is treasured; days of difficulty when love disciplines are good, as are the many instances of His reward and favor. Anytime we purposefully call to remembrance the Lord’s hand in our lives we are deeply touched and deeply blessed. (Zechariah 8:15-16)

Thank you for loving Israel and the Jewish people. Thank you, too, for your partnership with SWM. Thank you!

New!! Video Connect
I am putting together a new feature for ministry partners. The project consists of short videos, accessible online, that will complement the current text-version of daily devotions and hopefully expanding to include other articles and teachings as well.
The objective, as always, is discipleship and to communicate the message as personally as possible to those who are most valuable in this ministry, the financial partners.  A gift subscription will be given to each current partner as well as new partners – like current subscribers we hear from who appreciate the daily message and ask to able to connect in other ways.

So besides our current partners, subscribers to the free online devotions and teachings will be notified of the new video feature and have the opportunity to receive it as a benefit of partnership. Everyone else will continue to receive ministry resources at no cost as always. I am excited and I hope you will enjoy this new venue. To give you an idea of what the presentation is like you can view the first segment below. The amateur producer is me; also the light & sound specialist as well as the one speaking; in other words this is a one-woman gig! Hope you like it.

Recommend
Dr. Myles Monroe teaching at CBN Week of Prayer
Our ministry believes the Word clearly teaches ALL believers are “called” to pray and intercede. We believe prayer is the next most critically important aspect of Christian discipleship following the born again experience and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
I recommend this current 48-minute video teaching by Dr. Monroe on prayer. http://event.cbn.com/WeekOfPrayer2012

Shirley teaching
The focus of small group and online teachings for April and May is the fulfillment of end-time scriptures in our day and the future.

Christians in the Middle East.
In May we participated with financial support in the work being done by International Christian Concern (ICC) in sending Bibles into Iran (and also North Korea). Christians worldwide are praying for our brethren in the Middle East, particularly in Israel and Iran, as the threat of war hangs heavy over that region; and we are also joined in the Spirit to pray for Christians in Syria and Egypt who suffer in this time of dramatic change.

Supernatural . . . our portion and theirs
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and God, with a terrific east wind all night long, made the sea go back. He made the sea dry ground. The seawaters split. The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground with the waters a wall to the right and to the left . . . (Exodus 14:21-21, The Message)

Thank you!
Thank you for your friend ship and partnership. May the Lord bless you out of Zion in this biblical harvest season and may the message of harvest be the blessed expectation in your home!

In Him,
Shirley
