A word from God’s Word: “It is God himself, in his mercy, who has given us this wonderful work [of telling his Good News to others], and so we never give up” (2 Corinthians 4:1, TLB).

Good News in the Midst of all the Bad News ...
Dear People Power for Jesus Partner,
This year has gotten off to a great start—ministry wise that is!
Can't say the same about many things that are happening in today's world, including the terrible earthquake in Haiti with many thousands injured, maimed and killed . . . plus the never ending threat of terrorism—not knowing where Muslim fanatics will strike next as they hate and want to kill Jews, Christians, and Americans. And just how long will it be before Iran has a nuclear bomb? And, according to ACT for America, "British intelligence has uncovered the newest threat from Islamic terrorism—bombs surgically implanted inside the bodies of jihadists."
Today's world is becoming increasingly dangerous for many. And tragically, the anti-Christian attitude in the U.S. is continuing to increase.
Many ask where is God in all these situations? Unfortunately, natural disasters have always happened, but we do thank God for all the support that has been sent to help the Haitians. Sadly, natural disasters and continuing acts of terrorism and evil will continue until the Lord returns.
However, I can’t help but wonder: Are all these happenings increasing? Many seem to think so. Jesus did say that prior to his coming again that there would be earthquakes, famines, wars and rumors of wars; that people would grow cold towards God, and that evil and lawlessness would increase.
Jesus also said that when the gospel is preached in all the world, then would the end come (Matthew 24:14).
Today, the gospel is speeding to the ends of the earth as never before. Just maybe the Lord's return could be closer than we think. Of this we can be absolutely certain. Jesus IS coming again. He promised he would. This is the GOOD news. He also commissioned us saying, "You are to go into all the world and preach [communicate] the gospel to everyone everywhere" (Mark 16:15, TLB).
And this is the entire purpose of the ACTS People Power for Jesus Partner outreach. Together our goal is to share the saving gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible while the doors are still so wide open. Never before has it been as possible to reach so many, by so few, in such a short time, so inexpensively, with such incredible means of communication God has given to today's Church.
Without a doubt it is an incredible privilege to be able to share Christ with so many in such a short period of time. While we are using the written word we know that this is something God believes in as he has given us his life-saving message via His written Word—the Bible!
To all People Power for Jesus Partners who are working together to be a part of God's plans in helping to reach the world for Jesus Christ, we encourage you to pray the following prayer every day:
"Dear God, again today I commit and trust my life and way to you. I am available. Please use me to be 'as Jesus' in some way to every life I touch this day, and please use me to reach others with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

Sincerely in Christ,
