January 2008
Rev. Shirley J. Cunningham
It
just does not seem possible, but it now is 2008.
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and was able to draw even
closer the our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you have not read the prophecy that the Lord gave to Pastor
Shirley, please ask for a copy, or you may go to the website
www.someonetocare.org
and print one for yourself and others may enjoy you giving them one.
We try to keep the website updated and will soon have the pictures of
the Wausau Church on it. Maybe
your picture will be there.
On
the first day of January I received a phone call asking me if I wanted to
take over a church. This was an
answer to prayer. I gladly
accepted and they turned it over to me the following Wednesday night,
January 3rd. We had
19 people in attendance and the Lord moved in a special way.
We feel so blessed and our congregation is happy to have a place to
meet. We are located at 1705
Pioneer Rd, Wausau, Fl. At
present service times are: Sunday School 10:00 AM
Worship service at 11:00 AM, Wednesday Evening at 7:00 PM .
The
Bible Classes are growing in number that we hold on Tuesday evenings at the
Fleetwood Dealership, 409 St John’s Rd in Bonifay, FL.
We would like to have you join.
It is open to all churches and their leadership.
At present we are studying “The Armour Bearer” from the book by Terry
Nance. We will begin the second
half of the course Tuesday Jan 15th.
I want to thank all of our friends for the prayer that they give to
this ministry. Prayer is the
vehicle that thrust us ahead, onward and upward in the ministry.
We also want to encourage
you to pray about becoming a partner with us.
Now that we have a church building, there are other expenses to get
it off the ground until it is self supporting and still we have the TV
bills, missions to India and this month sending our first pastor an offering
in Africa. Keep pastor Timothy
and his wife in prayer. Pray
for the nations of world and that we will be able to do our part such as the
Lord wills to help all of our international brothers and sisters that they
may have their needs met. Remember that we have two offices in India to
support. They are so faithful to us
in prayer.
As we begin this new year I have already noticed how the year has
taken off with a wonderful start.
Prov. 18:21 tells us that death and life are in the power of the
tongue, so let us remember to speak the positive toward the continuation of
a great year. When or if you
have a bad day, do not get all negative and set in motion a wrong attitude.
Just look up and praise the Lord anyway and watch the words of praise
lift up your spirit. We will
either speak words of life or words of death.
Proverbs goes on to say they that love it will eat the fruit thereof.
In other words we will reap what we sow with our mouth.
Notice that when someone says an encouraging word to you how you feel
so much better. Well the words of encouragement had the power to lift you
up. On the other hand when
someone judges you or speaks down to you, you seem to feel so much worse.
As a Christian, we must learn to hold up in every situation, even in
the midst of negative words, but it is not easy unless we can praise the
Lord. Unless we will encourage
ourselves in the Lord as David did.
James
Chapter 1 tells us to count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations.
This means when you have a trial of any kind to rejoice instead of getting
upset and mad. It usually is
the case that when you get mad or upset, you speak those wrong words and sow
to death instead of life, but if you rejoice, you sow to life.
You will eat the fruit of either death or life, depending on the seed
you sow and your mouth will plant the seed.
