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 numerous domestic and international missions outreaches, 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 new families over the last few years, that dictated that we begin construction last year for the Health and Life 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 2009 and beyond, and can't wait to see what God has in store for us!
