God Is So Good

As I write this newsletter, I am feeling

so thankful for all that God is doing in

us and through us here at TJMI. I am

so thankful for each of you who read

this each month, pray for us and sup-

port us financially. Actually it over-

whelms me how generous you are to-

ward us. It is because of you that we

are able to pay our bills each month

and do so much ministry around the

world. Please know that we pray for

you often and are so thankful that you

love us so much. I know it is a sacri-

fice on your part to do what you do

for us each month. Thank you so

much. We love and appreciate you

very much. I probably do not say

enough, but know that we are always

thinking it.

I also want you to know that we use

the money you give very responsibly.

I receive $1000 each month as a hous-

ing allowance. The ministry also pays

for my cell phone. The rest of the

money that comes in goes towards us

reaching the world with the Good

News of Jesus. We do not waste a sin-

gle penny. We are very careful in the

way we use God’s funds. We always

want to be frugal in the way we spend

the funds that God provides to us

through you as we do ministry. Our

books are open and anyone is wel-

come to see exactly where the

money goes each month. God is

good and we always want to be very

responsible.

God provided the way for me to go

to Belize with On The Go Ministries

this past month. I was able to take

Raelee with me and she was a huge

blessing to the ministry effort. We

did four days of VBS, a women’s

conference, a men’s conference, two

outreaches and we spoke in a

church. Overall, we witnessed over

300 people put their faith in Jesus

for the first time. I was so blessed as

Raelee was a part of a drama and

she broke through sin as she

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly

disguised as impossible situations. –Chuck Swindoll

What God Says

The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will

take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will

rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

From Raelee

I had a great time in Belize! I met so

many amazing people and learned

so much about their culture. I really

enjoyed the VBS we held though. In

the VBS I got to take pictures and

break some stuff it was a lot of fun.

It was really heartwarming to see

children come to close to our Crea-

tor. I really appreciated the fact that

we got to have a good balance be-

tween missions and some fun. We

got to go to a local market and get

some things hand made by the

islanders, but we

also spent hours

going door to

door asking peo-

ple to go to the

outreaches. I

really enjoyed

the trip and I

can’t wait to be

given the oppor-

tunity to go

again!

God’s Power!

Each day while Raelee and I were in San Pedro, Belize we

were blessed to participate in a VBS at Living Word

Church. It was a wonderful outreach to the children of the

island who lived in that particular part of the island. There

were songs, games, crafts, snacks and a story about Jesus

each day. I also got to share God’s Power as I shared the

Gospel Message by doing what I do best, breaking things.

Raelee was right there by my side as we taught the kids.

One day after I spoke a young man of 11 years, named Jamal, came over to

talk with me. He told me that he had an anger problem but wanted to have

God take it away. I prayed with him and told him to call on God’s Power to

help him in those times when the anger began to rise up in him. He said,

“OK.” Then he headed out.

On the last night of our ministry in Belize I found out that Jamal had done

what I told him to do. It went like this: His mom heard him in his room say-

ing something under his breath. She got closer to see what he was saying.

When she got close enough she could hear him saying over and over,

“God’s Power, God’s Power.” So she asked him what he was doing. He told

her what I had told him to do when he was feeling anger rise up in him. At

that moment he did not want to act out on it so he was calling out for God’s

Power. She asked him if it was working and he proclaimed, “YES!”

Jamal had become victorious over what the devil

was trying to use against him. Instead of anger, he

was experiencing the peace in Jesus that passes all

understanding. You can do the same. Instead of

being overcome by your sin, just call on God’s

Power!

buddy, Steve Bol, from Just Foot Soldiers as we

minister to the tens of thousands of riders who will

be there. I am also planning to go to Iowa to do our

Battle Cry Men’s Conference in September and

then go to Texas for a full week of ministry, fol-

lowed by 3 weeks in China where I will teach in an underground Seminary.

I really need your prayers and I would ask that you pray that I can raise up

more financial partners.

God is so good and we are very excited about the opportunities that He is

putting in front of us. Thank you for staying in beside us and thank you for

all of your love and encouragement. Sonya, Raelee and I are so thankful for

each of you. God bless you and remember, I would love the opportunity to

come and minister to your church or group.
