Take A Stand! Seminars Ministry Report

Is it incresingly expensive being on the road these days?

Is it hard being away from family 200+ days a year?

But is our ministry needed?

And most of all, are we bearing fruit for God?

The answer to all of these questions is YES!

Sept 18 - 6 commitments to Jesus Christ (Norman, OK)

Could we reach lives at churches and conferences or through our Internet outreach without your help? NO!

Can we continue doing it without your ongoing financial support? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Persevering in the ministry of apologetics, discernment and expose' is often unpopular and never easy - but it is exactly what the Lord has called us to do. The spiritual and physical challenges in accomplishing our mission can be more than a little burdensome and though I detest having to continually mention it, I need your help to break the distraction of the current financial need.

We have now been running a deficit for several months and it is frankly hard to concentrate our efforts where they need to be - on the ministry. Your financial underwriting with gifts through our secured website as well as through the mail are imperative as we bring "practical apologetics" to churches and conferences coast to coast. Help us continue challenging the Church and bringing hope to the lost.

I know we are all concerned for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and now Hurricane Rita. In the tidal surge from Katrina three members of our extended family (in three households) lost everything. Like many of you, Melanie and I have given sacrificially to the relief effort and we plan to continue helping in the effort. But I ask that you please not forget about ministries such as ours during this time of unprecedented strain on our nation. Satan desires to use the aftermath of these hurricanes to destroy ministries like ours through financial drought.

After a sluggish summer and now with the financial drain caused by the disasters along the Gulf Coast we are stretched as thin as we have ever been in the nearly 23 years of ministry. For the sake of lost souls I need your help. For the sake of families that are in turmoil I need your support. For the many who are literally controlled by the Enemy who we are able to bring ministry directly to, would you please pray and then give as the Lord directs you?

Every gift of any size counts. Help us reach the unsaved, the "religious", the cultist as well as to educate Christians on the defense of the faith in these Last Days!

Thanks so much and many blessings!
