Wordsower Intl.

ANNOUNCING a 'Scriptureteller's School' in preparation for qualifying as a Wordsower. We will be conducting a school of instruction in the basics of the evangel art of Scripturetelling, July 24th through August 10, 2012 in Salem, Oregon.

We have had ample opportunity, these last few weeks, to trust God and where enabled to see His faithfulness exhibited to us again and again. Since October 27 we have managed to put almost eight thousand miles on our truck. We have seen many accidents, many deer hit by vehicles, over turned trucks, difficult weather and poor road conditions, but the Lord has brought us through safely and with the truck still operating properly. (248,000 miles) The Word has been proclaimed and the Gospel preached in Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Washington State. We spoke in nine churches, doing thirteen presentations and presenting the Revelation four times, 1 Corinthians twice, Hebrews twice, Ephesians once and preached once. We also were enabled to present the International ministry to combined Sunday Schools three times.

Just prior to the earthquake of January 12, 2010, approximately half the people of Haiti were not eating every day. Street children were not able to acquire enough food. There were not enough jobs, paying a living wage, for the people. Each person with a job was attempting to feed ten people. Thousands of unattached children lived in the streets. After the quake there was a massive influx of aid and relief. Tent cities were established for the now thousands of homeless Haitians. They were to be temporary. Cholera paid a visit and has greatly outstayed its welcome.

The abounding grace of God has entrusted Wordsower with two facilities for children, over two hundred children to inhabit them, wonderful staff, all the children in school and attired acceptably, over forty-five church planters and their families, over one hundred and twenty churches planted and hundreds of converts and a vision.

A WORDSOWER is a professional Scriptureteller who has dedicated their lives and talents to the edification, exhortation, consolation and equipping of the Church of Jesus Christ. Each WORDSOWER has combined the disciplines of faith, acting, storytelling, oral interpretation, and prayer with the calling of God, to build up the Church by proclaiming the Scriptures in faith, wherever and whenever God gives opportunity.

In July God gave me the wonderful blessing of being allowed to visit some of our friends in West Africa. We had not been to Africa for a number of years and had been longing to see those whom we love and support.

God is so faithful to us as we seek to reach India for Christ and as we care for those of His children entrusted to our care.

We would like to announce the dates of orientation for the Wordsower International Mission Deaconate program 2011. Concurrently we will offer training for those who desire preparation for ministry as a Scripture-teller.

What an incredible privilege God has afforded us in allowing Sharon and I to serve His Church across this nation. Since the first of April we have been enabled to minister the Word of God in Michigan, Idaho, Washington and Illinois. We have traveled by air, rental car and our own pick up truck. We have met many wonderful and supportive brethren and been allowed to speak the Scriptures to hundreds of attentive students at three schools. We even got to speak the whole Book of Revelation at one of the schools! Jason spoke seventeen times in six churches and three schools presenting the Revelation four times and addressing the brethren at a Good Friday service, Easter and Mother's Day. Wow! (I am always surprised when the Lord let's me speak on Mother's Day and no one is offended. I am such a 'not-a-Mother's Day-type-of-speaker') Our continual prayer is that the Church will be edified by our labors and we are extremely thankful for God's enabling power. The Word of God is alive and to see His people awaken to its power as they hear it is wonderful. Oh that we all would put the Word upon our lips and let it dwell richly among us. Let us speak it in faith and wash one another with the water of the hearing.

What a joy to serve a living God! We have been allowed to see Him work just as the burden for the children of India has grown on our hearts. We believe the concern for the least in India to be from Him and so we believe the answers are going to be from Him as well.
