My special friend,
Save your life and lose it! Lose your life and find it!
Strange logic. But Jesus said it. Lived it. Died it. And His resurrection proved it.
Now my Norma and I are being led by God's Spirit into a fresh dedication of our lives to that truth. It would be so easy to say, “Too old for new visions and dreams.” But that's not what God is saying. He's telling us “With God, nothing shall be impossible. Your wrinkles and gray hairs won't stop me. Lose your lives in Me. I will live My life through you.”
We need your prayers—big prayers.
1) There are now around 20,000 students of the Word in the Shalom St. Paul School of Leadership. The first goal is 100,000 disciples worldwide learning to be servant leaders who will want God's will as much as they want their next breaths.
2) Shalom's V.P., Christopher Lucey, has been offered Webcast technology free of charge (worth thousands of dollars) that can take us live into churches and homes around the globe—including Israel and the countries of the martyrs. We have the tools to teach—now we have the means to do it on a regular schedule.
3) Leaders in many countries are crying for the training and the practical discipleship materials that we can give them in short, power-packed visits. These personal journeys to their countries are great times for evangelism.
The time to show our world the Messiah and Savior “alive forevermore” is now. The time to storm and ram the gates of hell is now. If we all dare to believe, maybe against all of our traditions, our mighty Lord will confirm our preaching and teaching with signs and miracles He still has in abundance.
Sure the economy, media, general politics, and the world of business all carry a terrible stench. But my team members and I are determined to invade everyone of those fields and see some lives so changed that their little worlds will be shaken. (We're already doing it.)
We have put in 22 years on the West Coast since giving nearly a decade of labor in the East. Now we sense unfinished labor that must be done to reach our former radio cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington. I will keep you posted as to the plan God gives to accomplish this “unfinished business” on the East Coast where the Lord once used our lives to win and train great numbers of people.
We don't want to miss a single signal from the Lord of the harvest. Will you pray for Norma, the team and me every time God brings us to your mind? And will you help us again this month with your love offering that is so important?
With God, nothing shall be impossible—
Frank Eiklor
P.S. We know that many of our friends and supporters are going through tough times. I'm praying that God will take care of you and supply every need in every area of your life.
