Last month I told you about how I am continuing on my quest to make a million dollars this year. I also told you that I would use the money to start up new churches all over the world.
People laughed while I envisioned.
So how much money have I raised? A little.
How many new churches came under our ministry this year?
The answer: 23 Indian Churches so far. .
Yes, you heard me right. Little did I dream that God would do so much in so little time. Here’s what happened.
For the last couple of years I have been working out of Chiapas. I am the missions pastor at ‘The Ark” Church. Jorge Gutierrez is the Senior Pastor at the Ark. The churches that I have pastored and raised up new pastors for, are under this main church in Tuxtla Gutierrez, which is the capital city of the state of Chiapas in Mexico.
Last Year, Pastor Eddie Lawrence of Faith Tabernacle came to minister with us. At that time, Faith Tabernacle Church in Florence, Al began to give a Spiritual covering to the Ark church and it’s 5 missions churches at the request of Pastor Jorge who previously had no covering.
We soon found out that there are many churches in Chiapas who have no spiritual covering. Thus we formed a new ministry that we call United Ministries (In English). I am the International Director for this ministry and Pastor Jorge is the Mexico Director.
As you know, I have been working with the Tzotzil Indians in the mountains of Chiapas. Pastor Mariano is based out of Chenalho, near San Juan Chamula and San Cristobal de las Casas. He is Apostle to 23 churches throughout the remote mountain regions nearby his home. For a year now, his churches have been without a spiritual covering. The Good news is that he asked us to provide him with a spiritual support and covering. Our response was that we were already raising up a ministry for this given purpose and that we would gladly help out. In addition to prayer support, we hope to help him out with his needs, that is where I will be asking you to help us. The best way to see his needs personally is to visit us. So what are you waiting for?

Greg and Anna:
One of the first things I endeavored to do was to find your website so that I could keep in touch with you and your beautiful family…and so that I could encourage you to keep your spiritual eyes fixed on Christ because I can see so much of God’s heart in both of you. I have known a lot of missionaries and each brings a special flavor to the people they serve, but something very unique has struck my heart in regard to how you love the people you serve…and how you value them enough to personally know them and invest in them. I watched both of you closely, and I brought home a testimony to my friends and have put your names on the hearts of the ones I know here who will keep you in prayer and who will honor you as God puts it on their hearts.
I thank God for your ministry and will keep up with what you are doing via your website. My trip to Chiapas was just the first…I know I will be back…I know I will bring others to see, learn from, and support the work you are doing. God used your loving ministry to repair my world vision…and I’m thankful.
I am praying for you and all the beautiful people you serve!!!
