Dear Supporters and Friends,

I want to thank you all very much for your support of this ministry!

Your financial support not only serves a practical function of helping the ministry pay bills, but it serves an emotional function as well. It is very encouraging to me and Pam (wife/secretary) and our Board to know that each of you believes in our mission and are willing to back up that belief with much-needed funding! You help us feel that we are not alone in our efforts and you help us prevail in our mission.

Your support reminds me of a Bible story. Remember the story that is recorded in Exodus 17: 9-12 in which the Israelites were engaged in a battle with the Amalekites? Moses had positioned himself on top of a nearby hill with the “Rod of God” in his hand. As long as he held it up toward the sky, the Israeli army prevailed. When his arms grew tired, Aaron and Hur supported Moses’ hands which helped support the “Rod” and the Amalekites were beaten.

In a similar way, we are engaged in a mission to spread God’s Word, more specifically, the prophetic portion of God’s Word. You, our supporters, have come alongside, like Aaron and Hur to Moses, to support our hands. You are our partners, our helpers, in this ministry.

Concerning our continued mission: Without a good understanding of end-time Bible prophecy, it is impossible to sort out all of the news and understand the times in which we live. To help more people understand, we will continue to accept speaking engagements in 2005. We will continue to publish “The Trumpeter”, and continue to make it a publication that provides insight into how Bible prophecies are being fulfilled. Many have written to us thanking us for the “Current Events and Bible Prophecy” section of the newsletter, saying that it helps them really “connect the dots” concerning understanding our times from a Biblical perspective. We also continue to maintain a presence on the Internet with our WEB Site with articles that touch people all over the world. We are sewing God’s prophetic Word into peoples’ lives and we are making impact for the Kingdom.

The year, 2008, promises to be a very challenging year! Russia is selling weapons to Syria. Iran continues to develop a nuclear program which will be a great threat to Israel. The Presbyterian Church (USA) has divested itself from and aligned itself against Israel. There is the same-sex marriage issue, the Ten Commandments issue, the rise of militant Islam, and many more issues! There is a renewed “peace process” in the US State Department bent on seeing the Palestinians given more land. The Chinese continue to become a larger financial and military power. The European Union continues to grow and become more influential. The people will be asking if the Bible addresses any of these issues and they deserve answers. Lion of Judah Ministry will be there to provide them. As we do, and with all these things happening, maybe 2005 will be the year we see the Lord face-to-face and hear the words “well done” from Him.

Thank you again for your prayers and contributions! Your continued support in 2008 will be most appreciated! May the Lord bless and keep you.
