PRAISE and PRAYER REQUESTS:

Recently we begin distributing our new dialogue-creating tract - LIBERTY [photo above]. Our first tract, TRUTH, got us many open doors to proclaim the Gospel and many new contacts.

• Will you please join us in prayer for God to bless this tract too?
• Pray the questions truly stir hearts to think about how they do indeed lack and long for freedom and that they will contact us to meet and talk.
• Pray also that God open us many doors to personally evangelize people while we distribute them from house to house and show how only the truth of the Gospel leads to real freedom.  

We also had the priveledge to meet with two pastors (Rodney and Steve) and their wives (Sara and Tina) from GraceLife Church in NC [photo above]. They met a PMc board member while traveling in Israel and then reached out to us while later traveling in Italy. They took us to dinner in Venice and we enjoyed great conversation about the spiritual realities of Italy.

• As they consider partnering in on the ministry with us will you please pray for the Lord to lead them clearly according to His will?

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”   - John 8:31-32

The Truth of the Gospel sets you free.

Important to note here is that the Truth Jesus is referring to is the truth of Himself, the Word and the Gospel - one who is confronted with God's Word soon discovers that he/she is in a desperate situation before the Holy and loving God who executes justice upon sinners. He/she is under God's wrath (John 3:36). Bad news! In light of this reality the Good News becomes truly good news. One who abides in God's Word has turned from sin (repented) and trusted in Jesus Christ alone for forgiveness and salvation. He is free from the burden of sin and death; dead to sin and alive to Christ (Rom. 6). He is saved. He is free to know Jesus and abide in His everlasting Word - the living word. Amen.

You may be suffering trials today as you walk the narrow path of the Lord. You may be battered and bruised or even dead broke. The path is rarely easy. But remember, you are walking as a free man/woman in Jesus Christ. You are no longer a slave to sin and death! You can know and praise Him! In Christ you lack no good thing and soon you will be with Him! Amen.
