Heading Out for the Harvest
2009 - More than half a year has
now passed. God has blessed Time Ministries with so many opportunities to
expand His kingdom. He has used you to send us out into the fields through
your prayers and support. We are continually amazed at what He has done and
is doing. Many seeds have been planted and watered; there has already been
an early harvest of souls. As we head into the Fall of the year, Harvest
time, we are asking God for a greater harvest yet for His kingdom.
All these are happening because of God's faithfulness, and your very
faithful prayers and support. We give God all the glory and praise! We also
thank you so much for being a very vital part of this end-time harvest.
We see the signs of the times very
clearly pointing to Jesus Christ's very soon return. As children of God,
this is a very exciting time for us. On the other hand, we must also be much
burdened because more than 66,000 people die and go to hell everyday. What a
horrible thing it is for them because they have lost their last chance, they
have sealed their eternal destiny, they are doomed to burn in hell forever
and ever. There is no more time for regret, not another chance of changing
their minds, this is their eternal destiny. Some of them could be our loved
ones, friends, neighbors, coworkers or maybe someone we may not even know.
God has put that responsibility on us to tell them of the Hope and to stand
in the gap for them, we cannot put that responsibility on someone else.
Their very eternal destiny, heaven or hell, could be in our hands. Let us
rise up and change this statistic. Actually, we don't like to use that word
statistic because each one of them has an eternal soul. To our Heavenly
Father, they are not just statistics either, He loves them as much as He
loves you and me. He gave His all, His only Son, Jesus, to die for them,
just like He did for you and me. This is why we are alarmed, very alarmed,
this is why we go and share the Good News of Jesus Christ, their only Hope
to escape an eternity in the lake of fire!
How about making a commitment to God to be a soul-winner for Him? This is
God's call for your life. It does not matter what your vocation is, God
called you to be a soul winner wherever He has planted you. Jesus is telling
you to "Go and make disciples!"
As farmers hope for all conditions
to be conducive to bring in a great harvest, we covet your prayers for our
Heavenly Father to do the same for us on the spiritual realm. We need Him to
go before us and prepare every heart, we need His presence to go with us so
people will be drawn to Him. Pray that the Lord of Harvest will bring in a
harvest beyond our wildest expectations for the latter part of 2009.
As I sit here and write this, I feel such a desperation for more of God
because without Him, we are nothing, nothing at all. We are on the road
because we want to be instruments used mightily of God to win the lost. To
accomplish this, we need a double portion of God's anointing, the presence
of God, on our lives so that when we come in contact with people, His
presence will draw them to Him for His glory.
In the next few months, we will be in several states including Pennsylvania,
Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Michigan, and possibly a couple other states
that we're still awaiting confirmation on. If we're in your area, we hope
you can come out and see us. Don't forget to bring a friend, bring your lost
friends, coworkers, neighbors, loved ones and anyone who's lost so we can
minister the love of Jesus to them. The hour is late, we cannot waste any
more time. People are dying and going to hell, we need to be about our
Father's business. Get connected with Him, ask Him to give you divine
appointments daily and be sensitive to His leading. As you do this, you'll
see how God will put you at the right place and at the right time to harvest
a precious soul for Him. These precious opportunities are always there,
they're all around us. The question is, are we sensitive to the leading of
the Lord? Yes, we need to be very sensitive to the Lord's leading so when
such an opportunity arises, we don't miss it and we are aware of it so we
can move with Him to accomplish His purpose. As you make yourself available
to God in this way, He will give you endless divine appointments. It may not
always be a harvest, it may be planting the seed or watering a seed that has
been planted, but ultimately it's for His Harvest.
We believe this is the cry of the heart of our Lord Jesus, for us to "Go
into the harvest field!" Tomorrow may be too late, today is the day of
salvation. Now is the time, the right time for you to go after the harvest
that God has prepared for you!
Greetings from Dan and Pearlyn...
Greetings in the love of Christ!
We just returned from a stretch of 3 1/2 weeks of ministry in the Midwest
and Pennsylvania. We came home rejoicing over the salvations and
recommitments, glory to God!
While we were ministering at the Midwest Bible Camp in Watertown, South
Dakota, we were very saddened that the Founder and Director of the Midwest
Evangelistic Association, Dr. Keith M. Williams, passed away. Dr. Williams
is very dear to us and we will sure miss him. We know that the Lord Jesus
and the many thousands whom he was instrumental in winning to the Lord, were
in heaven welcoming him home. God has used him in a mighty way.
We want to share this and hope it will inspire all of us to do whatever we
can for the Lord. When we were in the Philippines this year, the ECOFI
Ministry which Dr. Williams started in 1954, consisting of 2 Bible colleges
and 384 churches, won 5,689 souls to the Lord, praise God! This is just in
one year. Imagine this; if each one of them wins only 1 more every year, can
you imagine how many people will be in heaven just because one man has made
himself available to God?
Wow, God's blessings come in multiplications! So rise up children of the
King of kings, come before His presence and say "Here I am, send me!" You'll
be amazed at how God can use you!
Again, our heartfelt gratitude to all of you. Thank you for your prayers,
encouragements and financial support!
Laughter...Good for the Soul ::

2010 Philippines Trip
The Lord has again called us to
go back to the Philippines in 2010. In the past two months, the Lord has
spoken and confirmed to us several times that He wants us to go back. So
here we are, in obedience to the call of God, making plans for the 2010
mission trip.
We are still working on our schedule and praying about what the Lord would
want us to do when we are there. We will share more details with you in our
next newsletter.
Come Visit the Philippines
We invite you to come on a trip
with us to the Philippines through our website. Click on the "Ministry in
Action" link and go on the trip with us through the 2009 Philippine Mission
Trip slideshow. A picture is worth a thousand words. The slideshow is the
closest thing we can show you to give you a glimpse of the trip. With all
the layovers, it took us more than 30 hours to get there, this trip will
take you only a few minutes. Come and see what the Lord has done! Praise
God!
Listening? Doing?
As we get closer and closer to the
second coming of Jesus, it is becoming apparent that many people who are
sitting in church are not doing what the Lord has commanded us to do.
Ezekiel 33:31 says, "So they come to you as people do, they sit before you
as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with
their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain."
Notice, God is not talking about the sinner but is referring to them as "My"
people, the Church, the Bride of Christ! They hear, but pursue their own
gain. If it doesn't prosper them, then they move to "things" that do. The
problem is they're forgetting one important thing, the only thing that will
last is what they've done for Christ, everything else will burn up.
What is it going to take to move God's people from just sitting and
listening to actually moving in the presence of the Lord? Doing what He has
called us to do, make disciples! Our churches are full of programs, fund
raisers to fund more programs, and this isn't wrong but when are we going to
get on board with God and start winning souls into the Kingdom?
Verse 32 says, "Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has
a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your
words, but they do not do them." We are allowing the world to rule in our
churches until we will no longer have a "church." When are we going to start
doing what we are hearing? Church is not a drive through to pick and choose.
Everything on God's menu, His Word, is for us. We can hear all the words but
unless we do them, we are dead. We are like a ship in the sea without any
motors or sails. We float aimlessly with no direction, and one day we will
end up on shore with no cargo to show for the journey.
Do more than just listen to the preacher; get involved in doing what God is
asking you to do.
Until next time, Dan
