Outreach Ministries will, (God willing), have a new web site coming in
2008.
A letter from the President;
Dear Saints,
After hearing from the Lord, it is evident that we
can spend many months, or even years doing what we believe is the 'will
of God', yet later to find out we have missed it. I believe there are
many well meaning so called 'prophets' today, that speak 'out of their
own hearts' telling the people what they want to hear. But the long term
fruit of these words more than not, prove these words were not in fact
from Jesus.
After examining my own walk with the Lord, and the
last ten years of this ministry, I have seen that because of the
wretchedness of my own heart, I have been led astray in many ways due to
my own lust for success, acceptance or whatever idol that seems to so easily
set itself up in the hearts of men.
The fruit is a ministry that seems to be a work of
God, but in reality is no more than a work for the eyes of men to gaze
upon.
I REPENT!
After searching my own heart, I now believe I want
to be part of a ministry that's sole and one purpose is to please Jesus,
and give Him all the glory. Not a ministry that feeds the carnal side of
myself and others. "Look at us! Look what we've done!" I'm
guilty and so are so many.
Therefore I am asking for your prayers as this
ministry takes a 'shift' back to Jesus! I will make every endeavor to do
what He says, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness..."
Whether this ministry grows and continues, or whether
God has to shelf it, I leave it up to Him. From now on, all I want is to
be in His presence and trust Him with a content heart, free from all
forms of "covet ness which is Idolatry".
May God have mercy on all our souls, especially
those who give out 'prophetic words' like popcorn, feeding the people
what they want to hear. I pray many of us who look at our lives and realize
the lack of God's presence will 'take an account' and see whether we
still be in the faith. And, if after close examination we find that we
have strayed, let us return to our first love, who abundantly restores
and pardons.
In Jesus name,
brother Gene
