Ministry partners are a vital part of C.T.T.M.
They form a corps of committed colleagues who strengthen
our efforts and help to sustain us. We truly
would function in a greatly diminished capacity without
them. It is all too easy for those in vocational
ministry to assume that they are on their own.
That simply is not ever the case.
The body of Christ is a vast company of believers
from all walks of life. No individual is in
ministry completely on their own. Furthermore, no ministry
can ever be completely successful without
the collaboration and cooperation of many people.
God has blessed Dr. Judy and me with many partners
who go with us everywhere we travel. By that, I mean their
prayers and financial support empower us. Their encouagement
presses us forward. When the going gets rough, our
partners pray us through and talk us through.
Our partners are also with us at home, because they
continually carry us before the Father in prayer.
Nothing they do on our behalf is more important
than the those prayers they offer on our behalf.
The longer we continue in ministry, the more
aware we are of the sustaining power of prayer.
Furthermore, their faithfulness in sharing their substance
makes it possible for us to do what would
otherwise be impossible. Their faithful giving
sustains us, for they provide essential financial resources that
we simply must have to continue. Every gift they give,
those given on a regular monthly basis,
as well as those we receive as one time gifts
are vital. Every amount whether large or small
is significant. Every dollar we receive is appreciated so
very much. We simply could not go on without our partners.
Our most sustaining partner is, and has been from the
beginning, those who sent us out - Bethesda Church
in Hinesville, GA. Called by God and commissioned as an
apostle, we needed to be sent. We needed and continue to
need a strong, biblically sound homebase of operations.
Bethesda has been that sustaining body of believers.
Their faithful support has been the very core of
our ability to continue this work. There are not sufficient words
to communicate our gratitude for their faithfulness. Without
them, we could not have gone around the world as
we have been able to do.
Every success we experience is a success that
is shared by our partners. Any reward
heaven brings is a team effort. Being in the forefront
of a ministry is only the "tip of the iceberg," so to speak,
because we know that God has given us these amazing
partners, and we are so blessed to have them with
us in this endeavor. We thank and bless our God for their
being in our lives.
