    We asked the Lord low to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Crusade for Calvary and the 40th year of my personal ministry. His response was.....

    ....."feed My sheep". Personally, I can't think of a better way to celebrate a ministry whose mission and vision is to train and equip leaders, assist those who need encouragement and relief, and provide materials for training on every level from the Five-Fold Ministry gifts to the layman....those in ministry full or part-time.

    By the prompting of the Holy Spirit, the direction of the Lord, and the urging of many leaders to make our ministry more available; I will be holding regional, national meetings and will be available to you and your congregation.  

    It is with great respect for the ministry and your dedication to God's people, that I avail myself to you and your congregation.

    Details and more information will follow. We will be in the Illinois,  and throughout the Midwest and East in July. So, if you wish to have us speak for you please let us know. 

    For more information on how we may assist you in ministry or establishment of a local Bible School, please contact. Some dates are still in May and June on the West Coast and then July we have several dates open in the Midwest.

    More to come soon...........

    What to do when you need communication, clarity, healing and reconciliation.

    10 Top Conflict Don'ts:
    Don't attempt reconciliation when emotions are high
    Don't work to identify blame
    Don't forget fallibility
    Don't avoid the truth we've learned
    Don't try to fix things alone
    Don't demand a chance to confront
    Don't publicize the rift
    Don't force the timetable
    Don't require an apology
    Don't expect one conversation to settle everything

    10 Top Conflict Do's:
    Look for Jesus
    Listen to your own heart
    Simplify the issues
    Grade your behavior by Scripture
    Gain perspective with counsel
    Forgive as best you can.
    Emotions do not indicate the quality of our forgiving.
    Be quick to ask forgiveness
    Sow blessing into the offense
    Wait patiently for a new outcome
    Expect to revisit these steps

    As long as we are breathing, we are candidates for conflict. But if we are committed to live like genuine Christians, we must work to resolve it. The promise is clear. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the Son of God. Let's paraphrase this verse to read. Anyone working to heal relational strife, on any level will find God there and sense His approval in that activity. Here God affirms our family relationship as we do the single ministry. He values more than all others: reconciliation the healing of relationships. (See 2 Cor. 5:11-21)As a general rule, there are few ways to begin healing without first accepting liability for any rupture that occurs. This is the heart of it.
    Only as I accept my own responsibly, do biblical, practical and in the moment, God's instruction in steps to resolve conflict become clear. Peacemaking is a better way to live. God will give you the opportunity. Will you take it?

    Why not inquire about series on forgiveness that are available on tape or CD.
    Another great help to you and suggested gifts for the upcoming Christmas season is to look on our website and see the resources that are there. They not only make great gifts but they help the ministries.

    Prayer is the key to heaven but faith unlocks the door !!

    Your friend and servant in the Lord Jesus,
