Another
year is behind us, and
we are
so thankful that we have been
able to accomplish so
much that
God has given to us for Christ
Temple Church. We have
seen
thousands of souls saved, participated
in missions outreaches
to India,
Sri Lanka, Tijuana and Haiti,
and have seen millions
changed
around the world either directly
or indirectly due to the
ministry
of this church. We have also
seen God entrust to us several
hundred new families over the
last few years, that has dictated
that we begin construction
in
2007 for Phase II of our building
which will help accommodate
the souls which God is continuing
to bring us.
All
of this would not have been
possible if it had not
been
for the gracious financial
support of the members
and friends of
this ministry. The Kingdom
principal that you have
to give to get
has never been so true. In
Luke 12:34, God tells
us that our
heart and our treasure are
in the same place. The
word treasure
in the Greek means a deposit.
God has told us that
if we make
deposits, we will be able
to make withdrawals. I feel
that by giving to the Kingdom
of God, we are given the opportunity
to withdraw souls from an eternity
of suffering and torment. It's
so wonderful we have been
given the opportunity to rescue
those that would not otherwise
be reached from an eternity
away from God.
We
look forward to 2007, and can't
wait to see what God has in
store for us!
