MINISTRY News

All things are possible!

Editor

 

There was no humanly possible way for us to have done what was accomplished in 2007. We praise God for what He did.

 

Advances during 2007

• Our mailing list increased from 10,000 to nearly 35,000 addresses.
• Proclamation! magazine was redesigned and moved to full-color printing.
• Contracted staff increased from one person to four: Dale and Carolyn Ratzlaff, Richard and Colleen Tinker.
• Our ministry expenses almost tripled.
• Updating of website including all back Proclamation! issues placed online.
• Doors opened for new opportunities to reach people for Jesus.

A large donation near the end of 2006 launched this year's expansion, but it did not cover all the year's expenses. But God Himself impressed readers to help.

Some months the Ratzlaffs and the Tinkers did not receive their stipends, using the money instead to get Proclamation! printed. Sometimes the amount of money needed for the printing or for the cost of mailing the magazine arrived the day before the checks were due. But it was always clear—God keeps His promises. He has provided all we have needed.

 

Second year of expanded mailings

More and more people are discovering the gospel of the Lord Jesus and emerging from the darkness of a false gospel. We thank God for revealing Himself and the truth of the gospel, and we invite you to join us in the work of declaring this truth to those who don't yet understand it.

This issue of Proclamation! marks the beginning of our second year of mailing to the expanded mailing list. In addition, new ministry projects are before us.

If you have been helped through Life Assurance Ministries, why not help others through your prayers and regular monthly support?

We praise God for being faithful to keep His promises to supply all we need when we seek the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:31-33). Further, we are trusting Him to continue providing as we enter another year of growing ministry.
