Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

We have a new Ministry on KKIM, “Life in the City” with Pastor Alan Hawkins of New Life City Church in Albuquerque.

I am hearing such wonderful comments on Pastor Alan’s preaching. KKIM’s Frank Haley just text me and said he just loves to hear Alan preach.

Alan has brought Pastor Ted Haggard to town. Pastor Haggard’s life crashed in 2006 over revelations of homosexual behavior and drug use.

Tonight on New Mexico News and Views at 4:30, we will talk to Pastor Ted about what he has been through, where he is at now, and what he will be talking about at New Life City at 6:30 tonight, 2pm Saturday and 10am Sunday. New Life City is at 4830 Pan American Freeway.

Pastor Alan says, “My invitation to him is just because I love him and he’s a valuable human being. My belief has always been that a person is not defined by his worst moments (DEWEY NOTE: HAVING CRASHED MYSELF YEARS AGO I APPRECIATE ALAN’S WORDS) and that his lifetime of good service was not canceled by this action.”

HEADLINE IN LEADERSHIP MAGAZINE:

Can Your Church handle the Truth?

Matt Russell says……..

I am afraid that in many America Churches, we are not telling the truth——at least not the whole truth.

In many Churches we assume that once you accept Jesus as your Savior, you get involved in your church and your life gets better. This is the standard story repeated in “testimony time” on Sundays, and the unspoken assumption regarding discipleship.

This “narrative of ascendency” has become the dominant American narrative of the gospel, rooted in American optimism and confidence. It is beautiful, compelling, and powerful. But is it the whole truth?

Pastor Jim Cymbala says the number one problem of the American Church is not the plague of Internet pornography that is consuming our men. It’s not divorce. The number one sin of the Church in America is that Pastor’s and leaders are not on their knees crying out to God, “Bring us the drug addicted, bring us the prostitutes, bring us the gang leaders, bring us those with Aids, bring us the people nobody else wants, whom only YOU can heal, and let us love them in YOUR name until they are whole.”

What would Jesus do? Who did he stick around with?

Pastor Cymbala by the way wrote the book, “Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire”

Hope you are by your radio this afternoon at 4:30. Don’t forget if you are out of state listen at www.mykkim.com

See ya on the Radio, Love ya, Dewey

Dear KKIM Family,

We have a wonderful cup for you that may last a couple of days….it is full of honey…….it is full of God’s love. It is full of the truth.

I woke up at 4am and and I was thanking the Lord for my job. I was thanking HIM that I can go to work early and work late. Now you are thinking I am crazy……I was thinking of my Dad who would leave the house by 5am most days and not return home till 6pm and may have to go back to work later. There is freedom in that you know…….YES there is! The job is really not a job………it is part of your life. When you feel what you do for a living is not a job you have it made! My Dad and Mom taught me to serve others…..to give of yourself……..they did it!!! In fact when I was growing up in Windom, Minn. most all the folks did the same! Give until it hurts, we used to say! I carry all those lessons and love from Windom to this day!

Today we have three excellent write ups from Gordon Macdonald on these economic times and Pastor Leonard Navarre on Accountability and one from Chuck Swindoll on God’s love. But first……….

I just got me new copy of Leadership magazine. A write up on the Economy. Let me share a bit of this with you.

What might God say in tough economic times?

Gordon MacDonald writes………

What was clear , even to me, was the larger message the speakers were trying to convey: uncertainty. This much was abundantly clear: no one can say with confidence what’s going to happen on Wall Street or Main Street in the foreseeable future. The solutions being offered as a way out of this recession or depression are nothing more than educated guesses. Bottom line: don’t bet on anything. Keep your seat belt tightened and don’t quit your day job.

One of the speakers suddenly stopped talking statistical language and in plain English offered some observations. Here in bulleted form is what I heard him saying:

There is all kinds of evidence that this economic tsunami is radically changing the ways Americans think about money and the way it has defined our modern way of life.

We’re seeing an economic paradigm shift in the way people are beginning to save rather than spend.

New and cautious views of the meaning of career, risk, wealth, success, and personal satisfaction are emerging.

Trust, the “glue” that holds financial systems together, has been almost destroyed.

Economically speaking, the world has gone from peak to trough overnight, and we are likely to remain in that trough for several years. Better to plan with that long range view in mind than to keep getting disappointed by every quarterly business report.

As the speaker ventured these speculations, the audience seemed to freeze, each person appearing to turn inward as if to ask: Where am I in the midst of all of this? What do these new realities mean to me and my loved-ones?

My own reaction was to wonder if we are not in a profoundly biblical moment: a time when God is seeking the attention of people and when he wishes to raise up a new kind of leadership with a different kind of message.

In these days of economic distress, we will no doubt hear about a historic depression that hit in 1859. America and much of Europe were then plunged into fiscal chaos. Unemployment in American cities neared 25 percent (Elkhart County in Indiana is nearing that now)

While not having a complete economic stimulus plan, a man named Jeremiah Lanphier one day got a simple idea. Why not, he asked, get some people together each day at noon to pray? Lanphier got churches up and down the East Coast to open their doors at midday and admit people for the purposes of prayer. AND BY THE MILLIONS IN AMERICA AND EUROPE PEOPLE BEGAN TO PRAY!!!!!

Lanphier never got a scintilla of credit for the eventual economic recovery of the nations. But he originated a spiritual bailout. What became known as the Noonday prayer Revival touched several generations before its influence ended.

But it took a fiscal meltdown to get it off the ground.

Jeremiah, where are you when we need you?

That is a portion of what Gordon Macdonald writes in Leadership magazine the Spring issue. www.LeadershipJournal.net

Paradise Hills Methodist Church is opening it’s doors at noon I think at least one day a week for prayer……and Heights Christian Church opens it’s doors the first Friday of the month for community prayer. The movement has already started…….Let the prayer movement spread! Let us unite in prayer to our LORD! I am going to be in prayer about this!

I think Mr. Macdonald is on to something…….I think the Lord is looking for leaders……….leaders for HIM and the TRUTH! Let us put our faith in the LORD and not the ALMIGHTY dollar…….let us put our faith in HIS will…..not ours……….Let us give our lives to HIM! Let us lay ourselves flat out on the floor and let everything go to the LORD………give it all up! Give it to HIM!

Man does not control the economy……..even thou he thinks he does.

What can YOU and ME control?

Our relationship with our LORD JESUS CHRIST!

That my friends is the BOTTOM LINE we should be most concerned about!

If you are waiting things to get back to normal….well, my friend Grant Kuck says, “Normal is just a setting on the dryer!”

I talked with Richard Spray last night. He was not feeling so good. He said this is tough Dewey……It must be because Richard never would say that unless it was, because he never complains. It is going to be tough for this young 85 year old to be in bed and pinned up for so long after hip replacement. I told him he better behave himself and get healed up in a good way so he can get back on his feet! He promised me he would.

When is the last time you have visited a hospital or nursing home? Frank Haley and I did a couple of weeks ago when we went to visit our friend Jim, who also went through hip replacement.

Frank and I prayed for those in the ICU, I was told once that we all should visit a hospital or nursing home once in awhile, to appreciate life. It really makes you think and be thankful..it also gives you a chance to think of others and their needs.

One of God’s angel’s here on earth is Nicole, who looks in on our friend Gail who we have been praying for………

Dear Dewey, Sharon and Family,

What a wonderful message today. It just is so inspiring to hear all the goodness and that prayer is really, the true answer for all of us.
I just came back from being at Gail’s house. I had not seen her since she started her chemo. She told me her hair had fallen out and I was prepared for the worst. What I saw when I went into her room was the radiant, vibrant Gail that I have always known. Makeup on weight put back on and the beautiful faith and attitude of loving the Lord and her life.
Thank you all for your prayers! We decided that God gave her a challenge and wanted to see if she would fight. Has she ever! She is a miracle! Praise the Lord for all of you.
It did my heart such good to see her.
Good Bless you all,
Nicole

Thank you so much for staying in touch Nicole, give Gail our love!

Here is a note from Pastor Leonard……..

Well, the Men’s Retreat called the Walk to Emmaus began with a tremendous out pouring of God’s love and Spirit. Over 60 touched with the love of Christ. Today was great but tomorrow will be better and Saturday even better yet.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Please continue to pray for each participant and all the leaders for this weekend.

God bless, I am praying for you and yours,

Leonard

And now as promised…..more on ACCOUNTABILITY……..From Pastor Leonard.

ACCOUNTABILITY

“I had them turn the porn channels off”, my friend said to me. I asked, “Why did you do that?” “Well”, he said, “I knew you were going to ask me those questions and I couldn’t lie to you”. This was a conversation I had several years ago with one of my accountability partners as we went over the questions we ask each other.** For you see, I too, even though a pastor, must hold myself answerable and accountable. My friends and I meet once a week and go over 7 questions that help us stay true and accountable to each other and to God. Chuck Swindoll says, “you need someone in your life who will ask you the hard questions.” Integrity results when Truth and life align. We all need help with that aligning because we’re weak and subject to deceiving ourselves. Okay, we just lied to each other. So, the last question my accountability partners and I ask each other, “have you just lied to me” as we look each other straight in the eye.

Did you know that there are 35 “One Another’s” in the New Testament of the Bible? Such one another’s as “love one another”, “pray for one another” and “honor one another”. There is one other that we seldom use or practice on a regular basis. It is found in James 5:16 “confess your sins to each other…” Wow! That’s a tough one. Do I honestly want to tell others what is REALLY going on in my life? That’s why we need others around us to help us in our spiritual journey. This verse is not an option and not a suggestion. IT IS A COMMANDMENT!

The dictionary defines “accountability” as “answerable, explainable, a willingness or obligation to accept responsibility, responsible to others.” Accountability within the church is an issue that scares most people to death. People are afraid that if they become real and honest with each other, there will be judgment and disapproval for their shortcomings. Pastors many times are the worst. Instead of modeling accountability, we often want to think of ourselves as above being accountable and as having to answer to no one. Not only is that type of thinking dangerous, it is unbiblical.

Dr. Howard Hendricks did a survey of 256 pastors who fell to temptation. One of the common denominators was that they had no accountability partners. They were alone 99 % of the time. When we are alone, the devil, that roaring lion seeks us out and endeavors to entrap us. Why does the lion in the jungle stalk the herd of deer? To find the one straggler. The one that is last and away from the herd. What happens when you pull a briquette out from the group in the center of the BBQ pit? Yep, the heat diminishes and eventually the briquette dies. Same happens to us when we move away from each other. .

Accountability is not about judgment. It is about love so that we may be what God has called us to be. “If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!” Ecclesiastes 4:10 (NIV) Accountability is all about encouragement and restoration. We need each other to help hold us responsible and accountable.

There are many avenues that the evil one chooses to entice and entrap. Sexuality is just one. It can be a whole host of entrapments when we are alone, such as bitterness, tiredness, jealousy, neglecting our Bible study and prayer. Remember, David’s sin with Bathsheba. The Bible states in I Samuel 11:1-2, “at a time when kings went out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all of Israel…David stayed at Jerusalem.” Oops. David was alone, when he observed the bathing beauty of Bathsheba. Here it is again, no accountability. That’s why the Bible states, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)

The two keys to effective accountability are commitment and honesty. Commitment to seek out close friends to meet with on a regular basis to hold each other accountable and responsible. It tough at times to keep those appointments because of scheduling but most of the time because of having to answer those questions (they are listed at the end of this article). However, the most important is TOTAL HONESTY when you do meet. There are going to be times in life where we are going to blow it big time with God. It may be that we simply fall prey to the attack of the enemy, or it may be that we go seeking after sin. Either way, we must have someone or someone’s who can watch out for us and help us get back on the right path. “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV) this scripture is the reason I picked 3 friends to be close to me. Remember Jesus, even though He had a band of brothers numbering 12, he chose 3 to be His closest confidante’s. Name the 3, RIGHT NOW, that you will chose to help you on this journey called life.

Okay, a couple more scriptures to show the importance of Christian accountability. Proverbs 27:17, “just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen each other” (CEV), and “If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!” Ecclesiastes 4:10 (NIV)

So, you see my friends. Not only do we need our heavenly Father, His son the Lord Jesus Christ, and the blessed Holy Spirit, BUT WE NEED EACH OTHER. REMEMBER, “Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.” James 5:16 (The Message)

** Chuck Swindoll’s Seven Integrity Questions:

3) Have you given your wife/husband, family top priority this week?
4) Have any of your financial dealings lacked integrity?
5) Have you given your self to adequate time in Bible study and prayer?
6) Are you fulfilling the mandates of a disciple?
7) Have you just lied to me?

Here is a note from Chuck Swindoll who can be heard weekdays at 6:30am and 6:30pm on KKIM………..

Dear Friend of the Ministry:

After preaching on Sunday morning, Cynthia and I always take time to greet folks as they are leaving. Some time ago, a smiling young mother approached me while the last few people trickled out of the sanctuary.

As we talked, I observed that she was intelligent, well-dressed, and looked successful. Watching the well-behaved youngsters waiting patiently behind her, I assumed that she was what our society would call a “Supermom.”

But when I asked if I could meet her husband, she began to weep. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she told me about her impending divorce. After enduring many years of verbal abuse, she was facing a bitter custody battle with a man who had vowed to do everything he could to destroy her life and her family.

She looked at me and said, “Chuck, I don’t know who I am anymore. He’s been telling me that I’m worthless for so long that I believe him. And I’m terrified that I’m going to lose my children. Does God even care? Does He remember me at all?”

Listening to the raw pain in her voice, my heart broke. How many other women pretend that everything is all right today when they’re terrified about tomorrow? How many others try to cover up pain and feelings of inferiority with a brittle smile and a false “I’m fine. How are you?”

We live in a culture that expects women to have perfect looks, perfect marriages, perfect children, and perfect careers, treating anything less with disdain. In more than four decades of ministry, I have seen the heartache caused by these false expectations. Every single one of us—male or female—is drowning in an unrelenting flood of fear, self-doubt, tasks, demands, and pressures. Believe me; even those who exude an air of confidence and poise secretly struggle with feelings of anxiety and inferiority.

But God never intended for us to remain caught in this emotional riptide. The apostle John offers a lifeline: “We know and rely on the love God has for us. . . . Perfect love drives out fear” (1 John 4:16–18 NIV, emphasis added).

God’s love alone can calm the raging storms of worry and the thunder of inferiority in our lives. His love alone can be our strong rudder when fierce winds blow. His love alone can serve as our reliable compass when we lose our bearings. His love alone can be our safe harbor when we just can’t continue sailing on.

At Insight for Living, we have watched far too many Christian women struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. Each day, we read letters from people all over the world who share stories of pain, stories of lost hope, stories of anguish and fear. And we consistently recognize and respond to folks who have been worn down by circumstances, men and women who need to be reminded of God’s love.

We never shy away from challenging or highly emotional issues; in fact, we willingly shoulder the responsibility of addressing them. To that end, we recently created a helpful resource called Releasing Worry and Finding Worth as a Woman.

Releasing Worry and Finding Worth as a Woman
This timely four-chapter book contains practical, biblical teaching as well as meaningful, applicable studies from God’s Word. Created for every woman who has been confronted by the stormy seas of anxiety and self-doubt, this addition to our LifeMaps series demonstrates how to move beyond fear and inferiority to faith and self-worth.

I thank God for Insight for Living’s ministry—for the way He has continued to change lives in times of great need. I’m also deeply grateful for friends who continue to sustain us month after month. These tough economic times can bring financial anxiety to ministries like ours, so your gift will be a much-needed encouragement for us this month. Please help us to keep reaching out . . . to keep listening and responding . . . to keep providing encouragement and truth. . . . We need you!

Take just a moment to send your online gift today. And when you do, be sure to request Releasing Worry and Finding Worth as a Woman. I am absolutely confident that you—or someone you know very well—will benefit from working through this excellent resource. We look forward to sending you a copy in appreciation of your support of Insight for Living this month.

Finally, to all who suffer from feelings of inferiority and anxiety, remember that you are of infinite worth as a child of God. Be assured that God loves you with His whole heart. Allow His perfect love to drive out your fears. We want to help you do that . . .

With encouragement and hope,

Charles R. Swindoll

Good Morning KKIM Family,

We have Praise notes and prayer needs this morning.

First let me share with you that Richard Spray came through fours hours of hip replacement surgery! PRAISE GOD!!! His daughter Cindy called me from the hospital afterwards and said our man Richard is in good shape! At his age of 85 that is so AWESOME! Cindy wants you to know that she knows your prayers and love pulled her Dad through! Richard is in the Taos, NM hospital.

I shared with you that 17 years ago this past Easter my Dad, Wally Moede died of a heart attack in my hometown of Windom, Minn. It was such a shock, and then an out pouring of love from my hometown! Well this past Easter, the Community of Windom was shocked my the sudden death of one of it’s finest citizens, Brenda Farber, just 47.

Dewey,

Please pray for our family as we lost Bryon’s sister, Brenda Farber, age 47 unexpectedly on Easter morning. We will miss her so much!

Thank you.

We will be praying Sandy……..I took a look at the tributes for Brenda on the funeral home page and I have never seen so many loving tributes!!!!! Brenda impacted many lives in Windom. PRAISE GOD for the life of Brenda Farber and let her life here on earth be an example for all of us! Brenda I am sure, is now assisting God in Heaven!

The way Brenda led her life here on earth before joining our Father in Heaven should be an example to all of us…….service to others! How are you using your God given talents to serve God’s people?

Our Dear friend Jon Robb of Albuquerque has this for us…………..

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Here are some issues for intercessory prayer I would like to share with you. Thanks so much even when you are able to pause for a few moments and lift these concerns to the Lord in the midst of your busy schedules. Frank Laubach, known for his extraordinary efforts in the realm of literacy development and also for his profound experience of prayer, wrote about the great power of momentary “flash prayers” with which he would cover people on the street or around the world. Be encouraged, it makes a great difference just to flash a prayer for a certain situation or person to the One with all power!

From a prayer leader in Pakistan: “Thank you very much for your prayer support for our dear country, Pakistan. Yesterday most of the schools under the Christian management and co-education systems in Lahore have received the threats from the terrorists that their next target will be these institutions. Most of the schools are closed in emergency … till 14th of this month. The school children are really afraid and frightened to go to their schools. Please pray that the Lord may control this entire situation and bring peace in our country.” Pray for terrorist paralysis!

From prayer leaders concerned about the Indian Election beginning tomorrow: “Our team is traveling extensively in many parts of India to mobilize prayer for the elections, the response is very much encouraging.” Over 700 million voters will vote in the world’s largest democracy from 16 April – 13 May. Pray that religious extremists will not be able to get power again.

International Children at Risk issue: Viva Network, an advocacy organization for children at risk, reports that tragic and extreme cases of abuse of children wrongly accused of being ‘witches’ or ‘sorcerers’ with horrific stories and torture are increasing. Viva’s prayer leader writes that this is “the antithesis of the Children in Prayer movement” and that “the enemy is making a counter attack on this generation and this abuse is against spirit, soul and body…Nigeria media (NOLLYWOOD) are producing films which show children being taken up in the spirit – eating flesh- mixing with witches and doing all kinds of evil. These films are selling like hot cakes perpetuating the deception playing on the minds of people who are eager to have an explanation to unexplained deaths, poverty, sickness and many of the increasing troubles that are coming on the earth. How demonic that the explanation is that the children are causing it through being so called sorcerers! Scotland Yard here in the UK is coming across the issue more and more, and it is spreading to Asia and Latin America.” Let’s pray that government officials and the media as well as the Church will be mobilized to take action to stop this horrific abuse of children.

Funding for the International Prayer and Mission Movements: Please pray for the Lausanne Resource Mobilization Working Group meeting later this week, April 19-21, to find ways to encourage a culture of greater generosity in the global Church. May they listen to and be led by God with great wisdom and creativity. Ask the Lord for a significant release of funding for the mission movement in its various dimensions and also for the international prayer movement with several key initiatives needing strong financial undergirding.

International Prayer Initiative for the United Nations and Global Cities, September 8-12, 2009: Pray for arrangements being made for the second IPC prayer initiative at the U.N. and that those God is calling who are leaders in prayer ministry (adults, youth and children), the marketplace and diplomatic/political realms will be moved to register in time and come for this crucial event. (If you know people, including yourself, who fit these criteria that you would like to recommend, please send their names, your reason for nominating them, and their email and phone contact information to Nita, our IPC administrator, at office@ipcprayer.org as quickly as possible since registration is closing May 1.)

Central Asia: A colleague writes that Central Asian countries seem to be closing to the Gospel: “Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are already high on the list of nations where Christians are persecuted. There are virtually no foreign mission workers remaining in these countries and churches are losing registration… an Uzbekistan pastor is presently in prison for his faith. Kyrgyzstan recently passed a law that, if enforced, will greatly limit religious freedom. Tajikistan is also considering such a law…We feel that this is a critical time for this region. If Christians do not pray, the church could be forced to go underground again.” Please join brothers and sisters in Christ who are a small minority in the region, praying that this trend will be reversed, that religious freedom will be restored, and that the Gospel will advance vigorously in spite of these recent restrictions.

Iraq and possible revival of Al Qaeda attacks: In a string of killings, certain to raise fears of a new wave of violence, four Assyrian Christians have been killed recently in areas ranging from Northern Iraq to Baghdad. Pray that Al Qaeda’s attempts to cause havoc will again be brought to naught.

Thanks so much for flashing prayers from your heart to the Lord for these situations. May you be filled with His joy and thrilled by the prerogative we have been given in Christ, even to affect the course of life on this planet through intercession. Wow, what an amazing privilege and resource we have in our hands to use now!
Best regards,
John Robb

KKIM reported live from the tax day tea party in Albuquerque……….Here is what Pastor Mark Tross wrote……….

NEW MEXICO NEWS & VIEWS FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2009

ALBUQUERQUE TEA PARTY A SUCCESS!

This was quite an event folks and if you were not able to attend, I hope you at least got to hear our live updates from this event. I was able to meet with Tina Carlson, one of the event coordinators and I did get to hear from Charlotte Salezar, who planted the seeds for this grass roots project, just 5 weeks ago, with over 30,000 hits to their website at http://www.albuquerqueteaparty.com . Make sure you stay involved and stay informed by signing up for their news letter there. Montgomery was bumper to bumper, as I approached the Independence Grill, just west of Louisiana and although I was an hour early for the 4:00 PM starting time, the place was buzzing, so I had to park a couple of blocks away. Thank God I didn’t park in the Smith’s parking lot, because they were so patriotic that cars were being towed away there (Shame On YOU). All was done decently and in order and I heard an Albuquerque man, who had lived there for 54 years, say that he has never seen anything like this before and I can honestly say, neither have I. A 19-year-old woman sang the National Anthem and did the Pledge Of Allegiance, which was terribly moving and as I said on air, it was a true God Bless America moment. Applause went out to all of the veterans there and our flag was flying proudly. Signs read, Give Me Liberty, Don’t Give Me Debt and one in particular stuck out which said, Yesterday I Was A Law Abiding, Tax Paying Citizen, But Today I’m Being Called A Right-Wing Radical Extremist! Thanks to Vietnam Veteran Harlan Lawson from Edgewood, who shared his heart with us and who brought his grand-daughter from Louisiana to be part of this American event. It was a blessing to see people of all backgrounds attending and a tremendous response was heard from all of the traffic, as they moved slowly up and down Montgomery. This was history in the making and I was privileged to be a part of this live event, as covered on AM 1000 in Albuquerque, FM 94.7 out of Santa Fe and around the world on the internet at http://mykkim.com

Thanks Pastor Mark.
Also as part of our Birthday celebration on KKIM, Former KKIM newsman Grant Kuck joined me in studio and by phone former KKIM announcer Pastor Ray Franks of TV 32 and TV 36. Pastor Franks was one of the first announcer’s on KKIM. He was able to relay to us the Christian qualities of Don Hall the founder of KKIM. Not many folks around anymore who knew Don.

I said to Pastor Franks that what would Don think now of KKIM, with KKIM FM and streaming audio on the Internet reaching countries like Taiwan, Egypt, and South Africa as our top foreign countries?

PRAISE GOD for all HE has done and is doing with the Radio Ministry of KKIM!

Lord willing, on Friday Pastor Leonard Navarre will have a report for us on ACCOUNTABILITY!

The Bible says………”He rules everything and is everywhere and is in everything.”

Let us pray………

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the lives of people like Brenda Farber, who show us how to live with You. Oh, Lord thank you for your love and care. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
