Brothers & Sistrers in Christ/Family & Friends,
Greetings in the name of Jesus.
As of the last time I was in contact, we are still in a similar place. There are a few things which I have kept quiet about, but I think the time has come to be more open about our situation. So now I will make known a few changes I have made and some reasons for the changes. For some time we have been in a difficult place financially. So that has forced me to seek to understand what has been going on. I intended that the book I wrote (with the Lord´s help) would be a big part of our support here, but it hasn´t happened until now. So I began fervently seeking the Lord about what was going on. So one step I made to be better aligned with the Lord´s will was to separate myself from the Foursquare church. Doing this does not imply anything negative about the Foursquare church. It simply implies that I don´t believe continuing as a part of the Foursquare church is the Lord´s will.
I previously separated finances from the Foursquare church. So now, during this time of seeking the Lord, we are no longer receiving funds for ministry work like we previously did. As long as we are seeking the Lord and no longer actually doing ministry work, we are not being supported by offerings.
So I am not asking for financial support. In fact, there is presently no way available to do so. But what I am asking you to do is pray as the Lord leads you. I will say this, that I just finished translating the book, Trusting Relationship, into Portuguese and I am looking for a publisher here in Brazil to put it on the market here. Please pray for that. The book was always intended to be our means of support and ministry. Also, if you want to communicate with me or us, you can by email or by our website: www.agapeofabba.com
And if you do want to do something to support us, you can get a copy of my book from our website or any other outlet and tell your friends about it if you read it and decide it´s a good book. It is Trusting Relationship by Joseph Gillespie. As I was translating it, I decided that I did a pretty good job getting into words what the Lord wanted to say. Judge that for yourself.
Please pray for us. That is by far the most important thing you can do for us.
Be blessed.
We love you in Jesus.
Joseph, Cristina & Hadassa
