WELCOME to November!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! WOW! Time is flying by!

May the Peace and Strength of the Lord be with you and yours!

Karen Rowe sent this in…….

Jude 20 “build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.

I was just studying Psalm 147:3…& 6
“The LORD sustains the humble”

And 149:4 “For the Lord takes delight in HIS people; He crowns the humble
with Salvation”

study notes.
“Humble…those who acknowledge that they are with out resources”

Psalm 147:7-11
study notes
“The God who governs the rain and thus provides food for the beast and the
birds
is not pleased by man’s reliance on his own capabilities on those of the
animals he has domesticated (or the technologies he has developed);

HE is pleased when people serve HIM and trust HIS loving care.”

Just to share…I love to write them (scriptures) again and again…it makes
me think and learn how to apply to my life.
May you too be blessed as I share.
Karen

Thank you Karen you are such a blessing. You can hear Karen, “Hope In Today” heard Thursdays at 2:45.

You all are blessings to me and Sharon!

Yesterday at 1:05pm was the debut of a brand new Ministry program on KKIM with Pastor Massimo Lorenzini of First Baptist Church of Espanola. What an AWESOME message Pastor Lorenzini had for us yesterday!

The Espanola Valley is such a growing area for KKIM! PRAISE GOD! For GOD’S GLORY ALONE!!

Democrats can’t be to happy today with State Sen. Tim Eichenberg, Dem. of Albuquerque for his statement that Lt. Gov. Diane Denish can’t win the Gov’s race! Saying the Lt. Gov. is too attached to the financial mess in the Gov’s office.

Lt. Col Allen Weh, who is running for Gov., appearing on NM News and Views Friday said that when he is elected Gov. of NM he will speak out on National Defense issues. Weh made that comment at the end of our interview because I asked him for his thoughts on Afghanistan. He said, that President Obama is sending the wrong message to our enemies by dragging his feet on making decisions. As far as the Richardson Administration he said that with his Business and Management experience he will turn the state around from years of mismanagement from Richardson. Weh simply, said you don’t spend more than you have.

As far as Afghanistan.you gotta see the new movie that Michael W. Smith produced, “KABUL24” the true story about 8 Christian workers being held hostage by the Taliban. The movie gave me a renewed appreciation for President George Bush and the US Military, These hostages were taken before 9/11. Sharon and I have watched it twice and the first time…the message we received is that it moved us closer to God..and then the second time we also have more appreciation for who President Bush was and also the expertise of our Military. Every American should watch “KABUL24” it is out on DVD this week.we are giving away copies on NM News and Views this week.

The Taliban are wicked…..As President Bush once said, “They want to kill us all!”

One of the hostages said after being rescued……..”I didn’t know what to do…..I was a mess…….I learned that I should be a simple follower of God and His grace will take me where He wants me to be.”

KKIM’s Frank Haley has the latest on the State’s Budget Crises……..

SANTA FE, N.M. — Come January, members of the Legislature will look back on their October special session as little more than a preview of the difficult spending and tax decisions confronting them in the next budget year.
Lawmakers left the special session without completely erasing a $650 million revenue shortfall in the current budget year. They fell at least $125 million short of that assignment and need to revisit the issue in next year’s session.
But there are more problems.
The Legislature and Gov. Bill Richardson have a nearly $380 million revenue hole to fill in the upcoming 2011 fiscal year to maintain a no-growth budget, according to the Legislative Finance Committee.
That’s partly because next year’s revenues are projected to come in lower than current spending, even after cutbacks approved during the special session. The state also is using federal economic stimulus money to pay for education and health care services.
About $250 million of federal money will dry up next year, which means New Mexico must decide how to replace it or roll back spending.
However, there are financial risks not reflected in the $380 million estimate: Medicaid costs are rising because of increased demand for health care services during the recession. Unless steps are taken to hold down costs, the program could need an extra $200 million or more in the next fiscal year, according to preliminary estimates by the Human Services Department.
And then there’s the economy. If it worsens, the state’s revenues could deteriorate and widen the budget gap.
When the Legislature adjourned, legislator after legislator – Democrats and Republicans – acknowledged the severity of the budget problems ahead.
When the Legislature convenes Jan. 19, members must decide whether to cut spending, raise taxes or do some combination of those to deal with next year’s looming budget problems.
But it won’t be easy finding enough votes in the House and Senate to raise taxes and further cut budgets.
Just imagine members of the House as they run for re-election next year on a platform of having made the tough decisions in balancing the budget: Raising taxes, cutting spending on government services and eliminating local capital improvement projects.

Let me share with you the word’s of Honey that have been coming our way……….We have received many emails and phone calls..We share this for God’s Glory Alone!!!!!
Just a few……..

Good morning my brother,

We praise God and rejoice with you and your family in your appointment as Associate Pastor to Los Lunas Church of God. Little do we realize many times what God has in store for us if we would but yield to Him. As you have allowed God to use you for His honor and glory He has enlarged your tent (influence) and we praise God for you and rejoice with you. “Where God guides He provides”.

Isa 54:2

“Clear lots of ground for your tents! Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, drive the tent pegs deep.
Our prayers are that God will continue to richly bless you and your efforts for Him. FOR GOD’S GLORY ALONE!

God bless you,

Leonard

Dewey,

Congratulations! I am so happy for you and Pastor Montoya. What a
privilege!!!!

I just thanked our praiseworthy God for these new developments. I am
so glad I am one of God’s children that acknowledges Him as my father.
I am so blessed. God loves me and blesses me everyday with good people
and you two are definitely big blessings in my life. I still haven’t
forgotten how you have ministered and continue ministering to me.

Patricia

Dewey,
Warm and sincere blessings to you Dewey on your becoming an
Associate Pastor at Los Lunas.

You deserve it.

Monika

Dewey,

Wonderful
to see Lena’s precious face as we read her name in the Cup this a.m.

Congregation! Can’t wait to meet Sharon!

Love ya,

Eric and Chris

Thanks to all of you! We love you all!

The healthcare debate is even in families……….Manny sent out an email to friends about healthcare and then his son sent one right back to him……….

Dad,

This plan isn’t being forced on anyone. All it is and extra government insurance “option” that you can opt in or out of. Nobody is going to force you to change your heathcare plan. The private insurance companies are scared to death about this because they stand to loose billions because they will not be able to compete. They have been spreading a lot of misinformation and outright lies about what this plan actually is. Please do not buy into this!!!

Hey Folks,

You’ve got to watch this video clip on a debate the members of Congress had recently. (Use the link below to view the clip.)

Also, please call and/or write to your members of Congress and Senators and let them know that you do not want this healthcare plan, which is being forced on the American people. Thank you!

Remember: “Evil prevails when good people stand by and do nothing.”

P.S. By the way, they are voting on the healthcare bill this week, so, please contact your representatives ASAP.

I have to say this is one of the main reasons that I am a registered Independent. I vote for the person not a party…….Shona Neff heard Saturdays at 7:30am sent this in…………By the way Shona is such a treasure! I think the following is “more proof in the pudding” that security cannot be found anywhere but in our Lord Jesus Christ…….

To the Congress

The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 – you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935 – you have had 74 years to get it right, it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938 – you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.

The “War on Poverty” started in 1964 – you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor”; it hasn’t worked and our entire country is broke.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 – you’ve had 44 years to get it right; they are broke.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970 – you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.

Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the “Stimulus”, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009… none show any signs of working.

And finally, to set a new record:

“Cash for Clunkers” was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took good dependable cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress’ generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments. The car buyers are now finding out that this $4500 will be taxed as REGULAR INCOME… (gee who would have thought that?)

So with a perfect 100% failure! rate and a record that proves that “services” you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?

20% of our entire economy?

As Charles Barkley says: The poor have been voting for democrats for well over fifty years, and they are still poor!

Let us pray………

Lord, heal our land of hate. Lord we pray that all will be led to You and Your ways. The only way is Your way. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dewey,

Sorry I have not given you an update sooner; my sister Mary’s hip surgery went well – she was released from the hospital yesterday (Friday). This morning she was trying to take a few steps with her walker when she became faint. Her husband, Rob, got her to the bed and her breathing became extremely labored. 911 was called and the Paramedics made the decision to transport her to the Emergency Room – I’m sure the concern is a blood clot, although I don’t know if this was stated. Please, please, please have your readers pray for this Spirit filled mother and grandmother. She is so very precious to us – pray for her complete healing and restoration of her health.

In Him,

Taunya T.
We will be praying Taunya!

Here is something I read today that I would like to share……..

I walked a mile with Pleasure

She chatted all the way;

But left me none the wiser

For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,

And ne’er a word said she;

But, oh! The things I learned from her,

When Sorrow walked with me.

Talk about servant hood!!!

The following write up’s were in the United Methodist Newspaper, Thanks to Jan the Editor of the United Methodist Church in Los Alamos Newspaper for sending them to us. They are AWESOME…..Serving………is the topic…….

“CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP OF PRECIOUS PEOPLE”
This coming Sunday, Nov. 18th, will begin our church’s annual fall
stewardship emphasis from the pulpit. As I say that I’m well-aware
that many of you will instantly think “money.” Genuine Christian
stewardship is far, far larger than a money issue. Consider the
following personal story from 30 years ago:
Harwood Church, located in the inner city of Albuquerque, had a serious
vandalism problem. One of that congregation’s older men, Carl, had a
virtually full-time volunteer job at the church repairing broken
windows. Sometimes the vandalism was more serious — as when repeated
attempts were made, thankfully unsuccessful attempts, to set fire to
the chapel.
As a new, young pastor it didn’t take me long to realize that the
church and the community surrounding it were very different. The
congregation was primarily older, Anglo persons. The community
consisted of mostly young Hispanic families. The congregation drove in
from the suburbs — and drove back out to them, barely noticing the
neighborhood around the church except to complain about the constant
vandalism. The parsonage where the pastor was housed, however, was
next door to the church — so I was confronted by this cultural divide
every single day.
It took much hard work and a lot of fund raising, most of it from
sources outside that church, but I was able, 10 months after arriving,
to start a summer recreation program for the community kids. An old
gymnasium was part of the Harwood property. We refurbished and
reopened it after its having been locked tight for more than a decade.
Most of the leaders of the Harwood congregation were unconvinced of the
value of this recreation program until, a month after it began, Carl
stood up on a Sunday morning and reported that, for the first time in
years, he hadn’t had to repair a single broken window during the
previous week. Only then did it begin to dawn on them that investing
in the community around the church could be beneficial, both to the
community and the church.
That, people of God, is a stewardship story. The Lord had placed
precious people in the vicinity of a congregation of His church, but
the church folk hadn’t “seen” them until they realized the mutual
benefit of community involvement. Within a year or two thereafter,
some of those community families began showing up in worship. But the
church had to first trust that investing in the community was “worth”
it.
One of our stewardship themes this fall is “trust.” Another is
“enough.” Can we trust God that he has provided enough resources –
including people – to sustain our church?
I, for one, believe He has! Praise the Lord!
Dr. Dave Ring

SERVICE IS A DIRTY WORD!
Service by definition is work done by one person or group that benefits
another. However, let us look at “service” in a slightly different way.
Have you ever considered the idea that you have a ministry? Have you
ever asked, at one time or another, “What is my place in this world?
Where do I fit in? What am I supposed to do?” I know I have. I’ve not
only asked these questions in relation to my work and personal life but
also with respect to the church and church family.
Paul eloquently states in Romans 12: 6-8 that “We have different gifts,
according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let
him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve;
if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him
encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give
generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is
showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.”
Our place in this world is whatever ministry God has given us. Whether
you are a school teacher, scientist, businessperson, homemaker, lawyer,
or accountant, or involved in any other profession, you have a ministry
that God wants to perform through you.
The church also has a ministry; something unique that God wants to
accomplish through us. However, the church cannot do its purpose alone.
That is where we as individuals come in. Service to the church is one
way of moving into the path that God has for each of us.
Christian service is rooted in love and takes many forms. In our
culture, money is one of the central ways we serve the church. However,
giving of our time and expertise is equally important.
One person I know gives his time without fanfare. This person works so
quietly behind the scenes that it is easy to forget the enormous amount
of work involved. If there is a meeting going on that needs audio and
visual equipment, this person is there. You need a video of a service,
just ask and it is produced. Is there a birthday party that needs to
have fun? Sure come along and go skating. Is the band going to play at
Sullivan Field or Ashley Pond? The set up is done. Do you need to
record something? Just ask. I’m sure you all know this person.
Another gave of her time to sign checks when needed. She also was
involved in the Finance Committee, served on Trustees, and was another
quiet help with myriad projects around the church until her recent
passing on. She was always willing to do her part with a cheerful
attitude and a loving heart.
One of the biggest reasons that many of us feel inadequate to serve in
the church is because we believe we are not good enough or do not have
time enough. I know that I have often felt this way until I remembered
that some of the people that God used in the Bible had severe flaws.
Abraham was old, Joseph was abused, Elijah was suicidal, Timothy was
timid, and Paul had poor health. Even David committed adultery. If God
used these people to great effect, what can He do with someone like us?
Jesus did not say, “If you don’t have any problems, then follow me.”
A second reason is that very few people intentionally stop serving God
and others–it just happens. We tend to focus on our own problems such
as stress on the job or at home, and many other problems get in our
way. We forget that serving others is a great way of reducing our own
stress and allows us to forget our own problems for a while. Service is
the act of doing work for God with a willing heart that also helps us
to put our own problems into perspective.
A third reason is that volunteering is going to etch our name in stone,
guaranteeing annual expectations to perform the same task or other
tasks in the church with no respite. We will always be called upon to
perform tasks that no one else wants. Who needs that?
This objection is one of the hardest to deal with. The typical answer
is that the church needs your time as well as your money. The atypical
answer is the question ‘How does God want you to use your time that He
has given you?” That is actually a harder question and one that takes a
great deal of prayer. Time is God’s gift to us and we need to ask Him
how He wants us to use it.
This church is the most generous I know. We will give the shirts off of
our backs to help others. However, time? Time is a gift that cannot be
forced and cannot be required. No one will keep you on the “roll” if
you do not want to continue or are unable to continue to give of your
time. There are many ways to serve and time is only one of them. Start
out in a small way. Know your limits, and know when to say “enough is
enough.” We have many willing volunteers at our church, so no one has
to serve more than they want to. A burned-out worker doesn’t help
mankind nor glorifies God.
However, service is not just about so-called volunteer work. Service
includes the nurturing of healthy and life-giving relationships with
our friends, family, and colleagues. As stated in the Upper Room on
July 8, 1999, a young pastor challenged his congregation: “There is no
opportunity given to retire from our faith. There is no opportunity to
retire from our faith’s call to love and to serve, is there?”
As God says in Deut. 10:12 “And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your
God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways,
to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with
all your soul.”
A church will not grow, and a body will not expand, unless every member
says, “I must play a part.” My challenge for us is simply to become a
better membership. Practice random acts of kindness; find an ongoing,
structured place to serve; and do something big for others each year.
Add fuel to your spiritual life by serving Jesus through serving
others. And remember love and service are lifetime commitments.

God’s blessings on you always,

Louise Mendius
Annual Delegate

WOW! Two great articles. Thanks again to Jan for sending them on to us! We are here to serve not to be served. Jan does a great job!!!

Let’s see……Please pray for Joe Rowe’s little girl who fell and broke her arm. The Doctor’s could not set it so they have to do surgery.

Our oldest dog….Brownie who is 17 was bleeding from her face yesterday….Many of you who read the Cup know how special Brownie is to us…..it turns out that she has a badly infected tooth that Lord willing will be removed today. I know my sister Deb reads the Cup everyday and she always said, That Brownie sure IS YOUR DOG! meaning that we stuck together like a postage stamp!

Here is an interesting letter from Robert………

My 16 year old daughter is currently enrolled in a public school that has a large number of Muslim students. At the school, she is taking an Arabic class and during class, they sometimes watch movies that include Arabic in order to learn the language. My daughter has brought in a couple of films in the past, but yesterday brought in the Arabic translation of the Jesus Film. The teacher enthusiastically showed the film to the class as they translated the film orally into English. This version of the film, attempts to tell the story from an Arab perspective, which makes it especially effective. The film sparked many discussions about Christianity in the classroom and after the film, many of the kids were begging to read my daughter’s Bible to see what the Bible actually says.

I don’t want to say the name of the school because I don’t want anyone to try to stop it, but be in prayer for my daughter as she shares the love of Jesus.

Blessings!

Robert

WOW! PRAISE GOD!!

That’s brings to my mind the movie, “Kabul24” Produced by Michael W. Smith and narrated by Jim Caviezel. We are giving away some of the DVD’s on New Mexico News and Views. Sharon and I watched it last night, it is AWESOME! It is the story of the 8 Western workers who were taken hostage by the Taliban, true story! If you would like a copy be the first to email me!

I Pray that this next one comes through for you on your email or that Jannetta can post it on the web site.This made my day. Pastor Garland Moore sent it in………

The Safest Place
How to stay safe in the World today

1. Avoid riding in automobiles
because they are responsible for
20% of all fatal accidents.

2. Do not stay home because
17% of all accidents occur in the home.

3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks
because 14% of all accidents
occur to pedestrians.

4… Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water
because 16% of all accidents involve
these forms of transportation.

5. Of the remaining 33%,
32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals.
So,
… above all else,
avoid hospitals.

But,
…. You will be pleased to learn that only .001%
of all deaths occur in worship services in church,
and these are usually related to previous physical disorders.
Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church!

…. And….Bible study is safe too.
The percentage of deaths
during Bible study is even less.

So,
Attend church,
and read your Bible
IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Thanks Pastor Garland that was AWESOME!!!!

Now here is Max………

Unfailing Love
by Max Lucado

“Love,” Paul says, “never fails” (1 Cor. 13:8 NIV).

The verb Paul uses for the word fail is used elsewhere to describe the demise of a flower as it falls to the ground, withers, and decays. It carries the meaning of death and abolishment. God’s love, says the apostle, will never fall to the ground, wither, and decay. By its nature, it is permanent. It is never abolished.

Love “will last forever” (NLT).

It “never dies” (MSG).

It “never ends” (RSV).

Love “is eternal” (TEV).

God’s love “will never come to an end” (NEB).

Love never fails.

Governments will fail, but God’s love will last. Crowns are temporary, but love is eternal. Your money will run out, but his love never will.

How could God have a love like this? No one has unfailing love. No person can love with perfection. You’re right. No person can. But God is not a person. Unlike our love, his never fails. His love is immensely different from ours.

Our love depends on the receiver of the love. Let a thousand people pass before us, and we will not feel the same about each. Our love will be regulated by their appearance, by their personalities. Even when we find a few people we like, our feelings will fluctuate. How they treat us will affect how we love them. The receiver regulates our love.

Not so with the love of God. We have no thermostatic impact on his love for us. The love of God is born from within him, not from what he finds in us. His love is uncaused and spontaneous.

Does he love us because of our goodness? Because of our kindness? Because of our great faith? No, he loves us because of his goodness, kindness, and great faith. John says it like this: “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us” (1 John 4:10 NIV).

Doesn’t this thought comfort you? God’s love does not hinge on yours. The abundance of your love does not increase his. The lack of your love does not diminish his. Your goodness does not enhance his love, nor does your weakness dilute it. What Moses said to Israel is what God says to us:

The LORD did not choose you and lavish his love on you because you were larger or greater than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations! It was simply because the LORD loves you. (Deut. 7:7–8 NLT)

God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so.

He loves you when you don’t feel lovely.

He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you. Always. No matter what.

This is his sentiment: “I’ll call nobodies and make them somebodies; I’ll call the unloved and make them beloved” (Rom. 9:25 MSG).

This is his promise. “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself” (Jer. 31:3 NLT).

Let us pray over the following from John Robb………

There is but one road which reaches God and that is prayer. If anyone shows you another, you are being deceived. –Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), Collected Works
During the darkest periods of history, quite often a small number of men and women, scattered throughout the world, have been able to reverse the source of historical evolutions. This was only possible because they hoped beyond all hope. What had been bound for disintegration then entered into the current of a new dynamism.- Roger Schutz, Living Today for God

Dear Friends,
Yesterday, it was my privilege to be interviewed for a three-part radio series on the power of prayer to change the world and was excited to my core once again to think of the Lord’s readiness to intervene and change history when His people resort to united and authoritative prayer in discouraging, even impossible situations. I recounted actual stories from past prayer initiatives in nations experiencing great suffering and conflict and how God broke through, stunningly changing the headlines sometimes within a day or a few days, and other times through a lengthier process that was no less remarkable for its striking and completely unexpected outcomes. During the interviews, Norm Nelson of Compassion Radio and I discussed the importance of our grasping and utilizing the spiritual authority Christ has delegated to us, especially as He describes it in Luke 10:17-21. We agreed that we could see so many more breakthroughs if we get hold of this awesome prerogative and begin to utilize it! Anyway, the interviews should be broadcast next week here in many parts of the USA and are also available on the Compassion Radio website www.compassionradio.com if you are interested to hear more about this.

Right now we have the opportunity to release our faith and Christ-given authority in prayer for the following:
For the Pakistani army’s efforts to subdue the Taliban in South Waziristan to be fully successful. They have already succeeded in taking a key stronghold and now are tightening their cordon around the other Taliban strongholds. Let’s thank the Lord for the good progress and pray for the complete disbanding of this terrorist force that is bringing so much destruction and destabilization to this geopolitically key nation. Let’s also pray for the Obama administration as they deliberate on sending more military forces to Afghanistan, just across the border from where the Pakistanis are fighting the same menace. Victory on both sides of the border is absolutely crucial not only to the wellbeing of these countries but also to our whole world, so please continue to pray, staying in touch with the news reports.

Parts of several nations in East Africa have received no rain in a year and are in increasing danger of widespread famine as food and water resources have diminished. Please pray for a compassionate and effective international relief effort and for the rains to come again for the healing of the land and the rescue of its people.

The American Film Market Prayer Initiative will be held November 4-11 in Santa Monica, California. Pastor Gary Zethraeus writes: “AFM is the largest film market of it kind, similar to the Sundance Film Festival. The AFM has 8,000 participants from all over the world come to view and buy independent films. AFM is a marketplace where production and distribution deals are closed and subsequently released, making it the largest gateway to release culture and values in the world… Historically, this event has caused many nations (buyers from 70 plus nations) to release films that~create and change cultures.~~We would like you to come into agreement with us in prayer~for this event. Last year’s Prayer Initiative started a shift to more family oriented films that were previously overlooked…Join us to ask God for the keys (blocks and spiritual strategies) to the change He desires so buyers will see and be drawn to higher value films. We are looking for partners to move forward with this Prayer Initiative as well as implement strategies that God has given them, taking Kingdom dominion over the strongholds and places of defilement that have been erected.” Pray for His guidance, protection and unity for local believers as they pray- walk, evangelize and hold group prayer and worship during this event.

Finally, one of the most thrilling developments in the international prayer movement is the increasing role of children and their prayers in bringing Christ’s transformation to their communities and nations. Please pray for colleagues who are helping to ignite Children in Prayer efforts in the nations. We believe it is God’s heart and purpose for this movement spread to every nation on earth. May it be so in our lifetimes! One of these colleagues has recently put up a wonderful website with many resources from around the world that will help those who want to encourage children to pray. It is www.childreninprayer.org if you or others you know would be interested to use them free of charge. The IPC website www.ipcprayer.org has Children in Prayer and other videos on its “Resources” page that can also be utilized free of charge so please check them out and circulate them to other intercessors you are in touch with.

God’s richest blessings to you,

Here’s what is coming up Saturday with Dr. Deb………

Dear Listeners,

We know that the Christian life is not always easy. However, The Word of God provides the answers to life’s problems (Hebrews 4:12-13 and 2 Timothy 3:16-17). My guest this week is Biblical Counselor, Daniel Schuman. Daniel has a Masters degree in Biblical Counseling from Southern Seminary. He will talk about the differences between Biblical Counseling and secular clinical counseling. The world invites us to question the Word of God and often deceives us with the ideas, philosophies, and traditions of men (Colossians 2:8). Join us for this important discussion about how to find the answers to life’s problems through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The show airs from 8:05 to 9:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) this Saturday October 31 on radio station KKIM-AM1000 in Albuquerque and FM94.7 in the Santa Fe /northern NM area. The show is also audio streamed live on mykkim.com. If you have a question or comment, please give us a call. In the Albuquerque area the phone number is 998-0021. You can also call toll-free at 1-866-523-5008. I am looking forward to being with you this Saturday morning.

In obedience to Him,

Dr. Deb
