Dear Friend and Colaborer,

We are nearing the end of another year.  It’s hard to believe how fast the time goes by. I just want to thank all the friends and partners who have been a part of Reach the Nations by praying, sowing, and just by your friendship.

In 2 Pet. 1:12-15 it says, “So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.”

Let me just remind you that we have been given His divine power that provides us everything we need, every great promise. Verses 3-10 talk about what His divine power has made available to us so that we will be fruiful in our Christian walk and grounded so that we never slip or fall.  We have God qualities by His nature living on the inside of us!  The key factor is remembering that we have been cleansed from our past sins!  Free from sin in order that we walk boldly as His sons and daughters, all because of what Christ did for us.

One of the key factors I believe in being an effective witness is being excited about being saved. We need to remember that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but that all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ! (Rom 3:23-24) Salvation is not based on our works or good deeds, but the work of the cross.

2 Cor. 5:18-20 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”

In Psalms 51:12, “Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation…”  I encourage you to ponder all that Christ has done for you. It will change you, your outlook and it will cause His qualities to emerge bigger in you so that others can see Him. You are His representative, the salt of the earth. The harvest is ripe, and the world needs Jesus.

This is just a reminder of who you are as a born again believer!   You are valuable to God and He loves you.

For the Sake of the Gospel!

Kim

REV. Lee Ruud delivers a message from God’s Word: ~ He Calls Me Friend ~

Rev. Lee Ruud

Rev. Lee Ruud shared the word of God from John 15: 9–17… Because Jesus laid down His life…for us… we have become His friend! Greater love has no one than this… that he lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus, now…calls us…His friend, if we do what He commands us…To Do!

Are we doing what He commanded us?

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends… for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

Everything He has learned from His Father… He has shared with us…in His Word!

Remember what God said???

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last…. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. God choose us, we did not choose God! Proverb 18:24… a friend sticks closer than a Brother ~ a man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Jesus is the Best Friend…You will ever have! He must be the closest to us and to our heart!

By Rev. Lee Ruud

Dear Friend & Co-Laborer in Christ,

In October, Pamela Harrison Ministries & Reach the Nations ministry will be holding a Women of Destiny Conference and a Partnership with God Conference for the pastors and leaders in India.

We are expecting 500 -1,000 in attendance and believe that this will be a time of healing, restoration, and impartation. This will also be a time of refreshing and a touch from God for men and women to be launched into their destinies.

We are closer to our goal of $7,000.00! Praise God! I’m so thankful to have such giving partners in this ministry as you- thank you so much!

We are still pushing forward to bring the funds in for the following:

Food for those attending* Advertising * Renting the hall * Generator * Lighting* Airfare * Hotel * Travel while in Hyderabad, India *

The population in India is estimated at 1.15 billion people. Out of that 1.15 billion people, 80.5% of Indians are Hindu, 13.4% are Muslim (150 million) and 2.4% are Christians.

We all have a lot to do, and each of us has a part. Some pray, some send, and others go. What is your part?

We need your help! Please take a minute to Pray and see what God will have you give. Together we go in His Name to declare His Word, and together we will reap!

I’m praying that God’s best be yours and that you are experiencing the presence of God in every area of your life. Looking forward to hearing from you, and please send your prayer requests so that we can agree together!

For the Sake of the Gospel,

Kim Francen
