You Hold The Rope!

In Scripture, we find that God provides financially to both those who ask and also to those who do not ask. It takes great faith to ask for support. I have found that it is much easier to ask people to consider Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, than to ask my Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus to consider giving to the most significant cause that anyone could ever give to -- Helping to fulfill the Great Commission. I am asking people to give to God’s work, not to me. I am trusting in the Lord’s leading on financial support and prayers. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) Even Jesus and His friends displayed the truth of 1 Timothy 5:18, “the worker deserves his wages” by depending on the gifts of friends for their financial needs. I read once in a seminar that I was blessed to attend, “You hold the rope, and I will climb down.” What a wonderful picture of a group of people who have formed a partnership with the missionary, to support him while he climbs down to work full-time to reach the lost for Christ Jesus. “God says -Whom shall I send, who will go for me? Well, God has called me, and I stand by grace and mercy and answer- Here I am Lord, I will go, send me!” (Isaiah 6). I realize that you work hard for your paycheck. The integrity of stewardship of this ministry is very important to me. Please continue to pray for this ministry, and prayerfully consider a financial gift. If you know of someone that you think would be interested in supporting Walls of Jericho Ministry, please feel free to have him or her contact me, or pass this ministry information on to them.

Romans 10:8-11 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
