Dear beloved servants of God,
Since Father put us together, I have learnt that any ministries or congregation succeeds not because it’s long established or big, but because there are men and women in it, who live it, sleep it, dream it and build great future plans for it. So we have to prepare ourselves to allow God to take us into brand new territory. Old habits and patterns and comfort zones will have to be forsaken, crucified, buried and left behind. His true followers must prepare for that change which is very essential and never-ending need in any congregation.
If we think the ministry of proclamation is about pulpits, preaching styles, worship services, we fail to understand the redemptive mission of God. It is far more loving and sacrificial than that. A congregation that cannot change, even in deep ways, has put their personal comfort ahead of the needs of lost people outside the congregation. We should strike out on the new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. It is our time to do what we believe in and follow where there is no path. The future of FMM/AHTZ depends on what we do at present.
Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 5:5
As disciples of the living God it is our responsibility to consecrate ourselves and to give ourselves gladly into His service so that we can be His points of entry to the lost and to bring them into the Kingdom.
Once again, thank you for making a positive difference into lives of the broken hearted among the nations of the world.
In the love of Yeshua,
Your Brother Timothy
