Thank you for your support in 2012. Your donations have helped us reach the community both spiritually and physically. We have had a growing success of reaching people in need by providing free food, clothes, toys and bicycles at our “Concert in the Park” series and our Christmas Festival. Just under three thousand people heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached and were given free cooked meal, about sixteen hundred children received free toys and 62 children received new bicycles. Additionally, in partnership with the Stanton Lighthouse Community church we served an additional 150 free cooked meals each week.
Our greatest triumph this year past year was spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to preach the Word and to distribute the Word. Both are being accomplished. We are so thankful for our grant of Bibles provided by the Lockman Foundation. Through this grant, we are able to provide Bibles to each family (or individual) at each event. Bibles are now in the homes of over one thousand families. As we preach the Gospel, over 8% of the people at these events have now accepted Christ as their personal Savior. They leave with a new life in Christ Jesus, a Bible to direct their steps and a church family ready to assist them.
It is your financial support and prayers that have helped us reach people in need. God has blessed Xclaimed Ministries with a great vision and ability to reach the lost and help low income families.
The Story Behind it All
In my book, "Faith of a Mustard Seed", you can read about how much of my life was controlled by fear. When exposed to a little fear, decisions can be swayed verily easily. As believers in Christ, we can put our faith in God, who overcomes our fears. He knows we will have fears and doubts within our life, that must be why He gave us so much Scripture dedicated to overcoming fear. Below are just a few verses from the Bible regarding overcoming fear, but there are many more. Keep reading God's Word. That is where Hope comes from!
"Pursue a life led by faith rather than fear"
