Dear Partner and Friend, I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help him. I ended up by asking him to do His work through me. (Hudson Taylor) He was a five-year-old little boy who loved the piano. Although he’d never had lessons or any kind of formal training, anytime he got a chance, he would sit down and play it. He was often told that he was too… read more →
Dear Partner, In a book that showcases all the great cathedrals of Europe, it is said that when one looks for the names of the builders, they are nowhere to be found. Some of the cathedrals took over 100 years to build – far longer than a single lifetime! Thousands of people worked for decades to build these awe-inspiring structures, yet there is no record of who they were. Day after day, year after year,… read more →
Dear Partner, It was only one service. Some wondered if it would be worth it – the drive, the time and the work involved. We were given the option to reschedule, but we didn’t. There was one young boy on the back row of the auditorium that morning. As the call was simply given, “who wants to call on the name of the Lord to be saved?”, he raised both of his hands straight… read more →
Dear Partner, This month, Cindy wanted to share with you a testimony from one of our volunteers. Her name is Lorene Mast and she calls it: A life changed by Shekinah Glory Ministries In 2005 Shekinah Glory Ministries came to my local church. I was very hungry for more of God.

Dear Partner, ….“The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” (2 Sam. 5:20) In 1665, following an outbreak of the bubonic plague in England, Cambridge University closed its doors, forcing Isaac Newton to return home to Woolsthorpe Manor. While sitting in the garden there one day, he saw an apple fall from a tree, providing him with the inspiration to eventually formulate his law of universal gravitation. Newton later… read more →
Dear Partner, … “Stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; …your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they are?” (Mt. 6 Amplified.)… read more →
Dear Partner, Today, I want to share with you a story I read a few years ago in the Tulsa paper. It reminded me of the truth that – everyone makes mistakes. But don’t let the mistake make you forget your mission. Because of what Jesus has done, your mission is greater than your mistake! Bombs fell on Boise City, Oklahoma, in the middle of a July night in 1943, making it the only American… read more →
Dear Partner, Then Elijah said to Ahab, “…there is the sound of abundance of rain. …and he said to his servant “Go up now and look toward the sea.” He went up and said “There is nothing.” And seven times he said “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!”’ …and there was a heavy… read more →
Dear Partner, “The single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there… read more →
