Brothers & Sisters in Christ/Family & Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus. I hope everyone is living in the Lord’s grace and presence. Be blessed in Jesus’ name.
Thank you for all your prayers and the things you do to help us in our callings. May our heavenly Father look upon what you do in secret and reward you. The inheritance we have in Him has great value so that we can endure what may come against us. It really is true that as one gets closer to the time that he or she will see the Lord face to face, that the value of that fulfilled relationship with Him becomes so much more real and certain. And He is the major part of the treasure we look forward to, to have the riches of Jesus in a very personal and visible way forever. All the values of this life will soon change. It may be that the reason I see the Lord face to face is because I leave this body rather than being alive on the earth when He returns. Either way, I will be with the Lord and see Him and be with Him in a much mure personal and permanent way forever. The things that are esteemed valuable in this life are all going to fade away. Then the real realities and values of the Lord will be established. What a great difference that will make!
Please continue to pray for us. I would like to see the Lord open doors so that we have everything we need to do ministry here where we are and now, but I need our work/financial situation to become much more stable and sure. And if I have to leave ministry to get us to such a stable place, I will. So again, please continue to pray for this situation.
I made many preparations for the time we would be here. I increased my giving to the Lord quite a bit above tithes and offerings I was already giving so that we would have everything we needed here for every good work and for our personal needs also. I received the first vision from the Lord in 1986 and started preparing for this ministry immediately. So I was preparing for this ministry for 26 years by the time we arrived here in 2012. I prayed and sought the Lord diligently to have His counsel about coming here. So this whole situation doesn’t make sense to me. So please pray that the Lord will make this whole situation come to make sense and become as He will have it to be.
Please remember that I took away all possibilities to send donations to us on purpose. I am not seeking donations from anyone, but I need the Lord to command His blessing over us and our ministry, so please pray for us.
Be blessed. We love you in Jesus.
Joseph, Cristina & Hadassa
