Special Greetings to you in the Name
of The Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua)!

What an exciting time this is for the advancing of His Kingdom!  All over the earth, God is doing amazing things through His people!  We here at New Hope Revival Ministries feel so blessed to have an ever-expanding role in the work of equipping believers to reach up higher so that together we can reach out farther.

Overwhelming Expansion

It has been exciting, but, in complete honesty, a bit overwhelming to see so much opportunity for outreach expansion come our way so quickly in the past 18 months.  It seems that recently our local congregation has often been called upon to be involved in outreaches that seem so much bigger than what a small ministry should be able to accomplish.  Go, God!!

Our cry has long been, "More of You, Lord!"  God answers this cry by stretching us in many ways, but stretching is good.  When we are stretched by God, our capacity for Him is enlarged.  When God's expansion strategies unfold, we often say, "Yes," in faith before we consider the added responsibilities that accompany taking new territory.  This has happened many times over the years, but we feel that this is why we have continued to go forward.

Our Outreach Mandate

There is such urgency in this hour to do all that we can and become all that we can become because many are realizing that this is the season for the raising up of the "Sons of the Kingdom."  This message needs to be declared and published in every way to every nation.

The Eagle's Cry and Live Streaming  -  God has opened the door for us to have a weekly program on the Gospel Channel Europe for over a year now, reaching into over 80 nations from the small island of Iceland.  The response has been unbelievable!!  Since June of this year, we have also been airing our program, "The Eagle's Cry," on Angel TV, a network founded by Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj broadcasting out of Singapore to all of Asia and beyond.  This means that we are able to reach well over 100 nations by cable and satellite television and practically every nation through the Internet streaming of these networks, and that is in addition to the video streaming of our local services every week from our website.  We believe for God to open even more doors for our program to reach the entire world.

Jerusalem Ministry  -  Since 2003, our local congregation has been continuing the prophetic prayer and worship ministry that Sister Ruth Heflin founded in 1972 in Jerusalem.  Nancy Bergen is the one that Sister Ruth chose to continue this work after her death, and she continues to labor for the Lord, working with us from that part of the world.  Circumstances required a new facility to be located and a new name was chosen, but our purpose is the same - to worship God in the Bridal City and to send forth daily prophetic utterances from Jerusalem on behalf of believers around the world!  Leasing and maintaining the two apartments that are needed for what we have been called to do there is costly, and it has been harder of late to keep up with these expenses, but we feel that we must continue to do what we have been chosen for in Israel.

Teaching Materials for Needy Countries  -  Daily we are contacted by hungry hearts around the world asking for materials to help equip and train those who are feeling the call to labor in the nations.  Over the years, as funds have become available, we have sent thousands of teaching tapes and other resources free of charge to leaders and lay workers in countries where finances are so limited.  We must continue this very important work.

Additional Staff and Equipment  -  With these existing projects and others that we are being called to launch, there is always a need for additional equipment and staff.  Presently we have two sisters who shoulder most of the load, taking a meager salary without complaining.  We would love to bless them with a raise.  In addition, a brother has come from Iceland to do the camera and editing work for our programs.  We have not been able to give him a regular salary since he came, and we want to be able to change that immediately.  By faith, I am preparing to hire another sister in a few weeks and will need a miracle to pay her, but we must have the additional help to keep up with the work load.

We realize that we have not been faithful enough to keep you informed of all that is happening here and we are determined to change that now.   

Partner Outreach Program

The time has come to ask our friends to pray about partnering with us so that more can be accomplished than what we can seem to do alone.  As hard as it was to draft this letter, I feel that it is the Lord's will for us to send out a call for help.  If this ministry has been a blessing to you, then you are needed in the trenches with us.  We need you to join with us in prayer and financial support on a monthly basis.

I am being honest when I say that we are also looking for prayer partners - those who will commit to pray and intercede for this ministry.  We want to follow the Lord in every way and we need his leadership and wisdom in all things.  If you are willing to also help us with a monthly offering, we promise to use it only for the work of the ministry - to finance what we are already trying to do and hopefully be able to follow through on some other projects that we feel God calling us for.

Devoted Prayer Partners  -  Because we care about people, we are going to have a special couple in our ministry that will be assigned to oversee the partnership program.  It will be their responsibility to help us keep our special partners informed about all the things that are happening in the ministry.  They will also correspond with you personally to help you to know that we are concerned about what concerns you.  They will be committed to personally intercede for your prayer requests before passing them on to our other team members so that all of us can add our faith together for your needs.  

Product Discounts  -  All partners will also be eligible for special discounts on our ministry products and resources.

Scriptural Framework  -  (Matthew 13:23)  But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

This Scripture was impressed upon me as the framework for our Partner Outreach Program.  According to the promise of God's Word, when we sow into good ground, the return is greater!  We also understand that the expected size of the harvest is directly linked to the amount of seed sown. 

Financial Commitment  -  We are inviting you to be a partner in harvest with us by sowing $30, $60 or $100 monthly into our many outreach projects.  If you are unable to sow at least $30 per month, you can still be a part of our partner program by committing to sending something on a monthly basis.  The reason that we ask for a monthly commitment is so that we can make our plans for future growth!!

Together we will make a difference.
