Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Hello and Happy New Year! One year closer to our Blessed Hope - one year closer to the ecstasy of being with our Almighty Father, our beloved Savior Jesus Christ, our loving Holy Spirit. Time decays the dross of this life to reveal the ever-increasing glory of life in Christ. Let the oppressed, the sorrowful, the hurting and the poor rejoice in this: all the demons in Hell, all the ill-intentions of all our enemies, all the adverse circumstances and all the strained relationships of a whole lifetime cannot overcome the ultimate victory of our faith in Christ! Halleluiah! Glory, praise, honor, power, blessing and dominion be unto our precious Master - Jesus, the Lamb of God!

Though we acknowledge the Hand of God from start to finish in any accomplishment through this ministry on behalf of the Kingdom of God, we also recognize that it is you, His children, our supporters, whose kindness and faithfulness and prayers empower us in our practical and material needs. We thank you for your obedience from the bottom of our hearts.

And, once again, please allow us to lay before you our sincere requests for prayer. We invite you to join with us in our appeal to the Master of the Universe to aid us in the coming months in the following areas:

We ask God Almighty to bless this work with a mighty and effective proclamation of the Good News of Jesus Christ to the Lost...and to confirm His Word with miracles, signs and wonders.

We humbly pray to God the Father for an anointed, solid Word of encouragement to His dear children who are struggling in their faith and their hope in the Eternal Promises of Christ.

We cry out to our Loving Savior for a fresh endowment of His compassion for the hurting, the forgotten, the struggling in long-term care settings all over the world.

We appeal to God for His empowerment and His favor in calling together His soldiers in long-term care volunteerism in our region and in our nation.

We pray that God give us a reliable means of extending a helping hand to fellow long-term-care laborers throughout the Earth, and especially in third world countries.

We call on the Great Creative Writer to guide us and inspire us as we pursue production of the seventh edition of "A Handbook for Long-Term Care Ministry."

We ask the Perfect Teacher to lead us to realize our efforts to put the true-inductive, true-seminar-style Bible study, "Chapter & Verse," on the world-wide web for the edification and the unity of the Body of Christ all over this planet.

In obedience and submission to Your leading in this, Your ministry, we lay these petitions before You, Dear Father and yield to Your wisdom, Your timing and the proportion of Your provision...for Your Eternal Glory...in the wonderful, precious Name of Your Dear Son, Jesus Christ.  Amen

Love In Christ,

Jerry and Dar Johnson
