During this month of thankfulness, we have an extra measure of gratitude for you, our faithful supporters and fellow workers.

Getting Seed to the Sower

 

A Great Testimony

A pastor recently had this to report to us: "We gave away about 40 Promise of the Father books at our men’s retreat, and I am excited for the fruit that is going to come from our weekend with the men. We had four men receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit." Praise the Lord for His work in these believers' lives and for the privilege of supporting them with solid literature on the baptism with the Holy Spirit!

 

An Encouraging Note

This note is from a pastor in Peoria, Illinois: "Pastor Steve's material has been invaluable to me as a church planting pastor who also works a secular job full time. In weeks where I don't have any prep time (and in weeks where I do), I can draw on insights I've learned from your ministry to lead me deeper into the Word and as a springboard to writing a message. I've especially been enjoying Steve's class on sermon writing/prep, having never attended Bible college prior to church planting (my degrees are from secular colleges)." With your partnership, this is the kind of ministry work we are making possible.

 

Women in Ministry

We have recently added the sermons "A Biblical Basis for Women in Ministry" to our website. These sermons clearly explain what the Bible says about women serving as leaders in the Church. These sermons are the foundation for Foursquare's book Women in Ministry Leadership. If you need to know what the Bible says about women in ministry, this is the place to look! The sermons are available to read and use for free.

  

Interested in Knowing Who Authored Hebrews?

We are currently studying our way through the book of Hebrews on YouTube. In "Why Believers Gather" Pastor Steve lays out a convincing argument for who he believes wrote Hebrews. Listen to find out more on our YouTube channel.

 

The Early Church

We are continuing the sermon series on the book of Acts on our podcast. Listen to Luke's account of the early church of Jesus Christ before tradition, philosophy and politics had sapped its strength. Find Life Lessons with Dr. Steve Schell on Apple podcasts or whatever platform you prefer.

 

Spanish FOPT Books to Spain

A few months ago, we attempted to send a box of FOPT books to Spain, but the attempt failed. So the Lord provided a new solution through a missionary we know who lives there. On his recent trip back to the states, we met and gave him 15 sets of Spanish Foundations of Pentecostal Theology books. Very few materials exist for pastors in that country, so he was thrilled to load up his suitcase with the books as well as a letter we provided to the local pastors.

Thank you for your contributions and prayer support. Together, we are doing our part to strengthen and equip the Church!
