Dear Partner
in Ministry:
May the fantastic awareness of
His presence brighten your every
day throughout this new year!
As we enter into the uncharted
course of 2007, I am reminded of
the words of my saintly mother,
"Do not fear tomorrow, God is
already there!" We do not know
what tomorrow holds, but we do
know who holds the future and He
has it in His hand and
everything is under control!
Therefore, we seek Him and
follow Him! As we enter an
entire year of Fasting and
Prayer across the region, we do
so with confidence and trust
that greater things are yet
ahead. Our desire is to once
again make our churches "Houses
of Prayer".
William Carr Peel in his book
"In this Quiet Place" states,
"Prayer is not a reward we
deserve but a privilege given by
God. It is His gift to us, not
our gift to Him. There is no
doubt about God's unwavering
love for His Children. He wants
to hear from us not because we
are deserving, but because it
simply pleases Him to do so."
Pastors I am calling upon you to
help lead our people into a
fresh and conscientious renewal
of prayer in their lives
throughout this year.
Please note the weekly prayer
schedules and be sure that your
church fulfills the time
assigned. All pastors,
especially in the Milford and
Cambridge areas please note the
PRAYER ADVANCE planned for these
locations on Friday night,
January 26 and Saturday, January
27. These will be the only
PRAYER ADVANCES on the Eastern
shore planned for 2007. I am
counting on the participation of
you and your people. These
meetings will be facilitated by
Pastor Sam Abbott of the South
Lake Worship Center Church of
God in Hobart, Indiana. The
state team will also be present
and most importantly God will be
present. The Friday night
session will be from 7:00 pm
until midnight and the Saturday
session will be from 10:00 am
until 4:00 pm with a lunch
break. These will be fast paced,
power packed, life transforming
times. I will be looking for
every minister and a host of
laity at each meeting.
I am excited about what God has
in store for the Delmarva-DC
region and stand on the tip toes
of expectancy. Remember as we
enter this new year one of the
best keys to success in any
endeavor is to PLAN AHEAD AND
FOLLOW THROUGH, FOLLOW THROUGH,
FOLLOW THROUGH!
Together we can accomplish so
much! We are off to a great
start. Have a fantastic year in
Him. You are in my daily prayer.
Your pastor,
Ron Martin
