Dear Precious Friends:

Rich Blessings to you in Jesus Mighty Name! What a great time we live in as the Lord is doing great and mighty things all through the land.

Janet and I have very exciting news to share with you! First, let's recap the wonderful things the Lord has done here at SFWM through your prayers, support, and financial giving and commitments. As you know, the Lord has accelerated this ministry evidenced especially by our growth and activities of the past few years.

God's Hand is Blessing this Ministry

Fourteen years ago, God placed a great fire in our bones to see North America and the nations experience a mighty move of the Lord to see hundred of thousands of lived saved and transformed. God gave me this scripture:

The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell InIsaiah 58:11, 12.

He placed deep in my heart, that we would be a part of raising up the foundation of a generation that would touch the nations. Wow! What an awesome blessing of the Lord to be used by Him to raise up a generation to impact the whole wide world through His Word, the anointing, and through teaching and training a people to walk in Godly character and integrity.

It is by His great grace-the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of Jesus' and our wonderful partners, that we have seen thousands of lives-families, churches, businesses, and even ministries, impacted and transformed in cities, regions, states, and the nations; through our conferences, schools, crusades, revival meetings, missions, orphanages, our web site, and in so many other areas.

It's no coincidence that you've crossed paths with us, that you partner with us "for I believe God's planted this vision too “the same fire in your bones" to see His great destiny unfold. Many of you have been with us from the outset, and some have joined us in the past while. We're so grateful to you for standing with us!

Acceleration

We've stewarded your contributions well, for the advancement of the Kingdom in many areas. Consider that it wasn’t that long ago, just October 2001, that Janet and I, in keeping with this vision for national and global impact, birthed the Texas Ablaze Revival Conferences and Meetings, with the first Ablaze conference launched just a few months later in February 2002. Since then, SFWM has held countless major events in Texas, and has participated in innumerable revival meetings and conferences around the world. In addition, hundreds of children have been and are housed, clothed, fed, and tenderly cared for in orphanages supported through your generous prayers and giving. So, whether directly, or indirectly, know that thousands of lives have been saved, delivered, transformed, strengthened, and mightily encouraged, through your support, and prayerful and financial commitment. You are wonderful friends of this ministry! Praise the Mighty name of Jesus!

2006 Significant for SFWM

At the beginning of this year, the Lord impressed upon our hearts that this was a very significant building year for our ministry "that 2006 would be a year to increase the sphere of influence in a greater way for greater regional and global impact. We've already taken several steps forward as already evidenced, but God is calling and raising up a powerful company of believers to stand with us, who will proclaim His Word and the power of the Word for many generations to come, if the Lord tarries.

Enlarging our Tent Pegs

We realized that this indeed was the confirmation we’d waited for that this year is a building year for Stand Firm World Ministries, for even greater thrust for greater harvest in the coming days. It also confirmed what we'd felt from the start about the anointing for a school in Amarillo, Texas. Even though they had no foreknowledge about the vision we'd received about raising up the foundation of a generation to impact the nations from Amarillo, almost four years ago, Bobby Conner, Paul Keith Davis, and Patricia King gave us several confirming words about Stand Firm World Ministries and Amarillo Texas. It would be here, in Amarillo that we would establish overcomers that people from all over the world would come and drink from this well. WOW! What's more amazing is that already we've held two Overcomer's Schools here, and had such awesome attendance, that we ran out of room in both. We had participants from all over the nation, and even from Australia. What a beginning! However, this was just the start of our global impact. The Lord revealed to me that He is going to honor our school because we so honor Him through our program. He will use the Overcomer's school to raise up the foundations of many generations. God's grace and favor is upon us, and we have entered now into a real building time in the Lord.

Faith Forward for the Ministry Center to house the Overcomer’s School

Since the confirmation of God's word and vision for SFWM, we've searched for land to build upon in the area. Everything was far too expensive for the two or so acres we would need for the campus. Almost everything we looked at, even areas not best suited for the school were out of our range from $3.50 per square foot up to $8.00 per square foot. However, recently we were presented with an amazing opportunity for prime property, in a perfect location, the perfect size, for only $1.27 per square foot.

We  want to follow through and secure this 2-acre parcel of land, we'll be able to build a Ministry Center that will house the Overcomer's School and offices and embark on our journey to raise up the foundation of a generation of peoples with Godly character and integrity, to impact the whole world.

Anointed Leaders, Teachers 
Our vision is to invite anointed leaders from around the world to teach, train, and raise up overcomers who come to drink from this well in Amarillo. Yes, Lord! We also hope to implement a nine-month program for students, not only to pour into their lives and impart the deep things of God, but also to place a great priority on Godly character and integrity.

First Phase

For the first phase of our project, we estimate the size of the building to be over 11,000 square feet. The contractor feels we would be able to have this building up and ready in just over eight short months once we break ground, for a cost of $1,000,000 if we are able to secure our finances an initial total of 1,200,000 (land and building). 

Until recently, we've only shared with a few people about this tract of land, and vision for the property, because we wanted to ensure and confirm that this is from the Lord, and we are always careful not to ask for anything that does not pertain to Kingdom advancement.

We fully share this vision now with you, and have included a video to give you a first-hand view of the property. (There is also opportunity for growth in the area another three acres for sale alongside of it. We believe that God is going to grant us ownership of these properties in the near future, so His work through a global outreach and training center can move forward.

The purpose of the building of this center is not for the sake of just having it. Its purpose is for the sake of raising up and training laborers for God's harvest field, because the harvest is ripe unto harvest now.

 

Update on Great News!

Once again I have some great news... We needed an additional acre of land so we would have plenty of parking area. We were able to find favor with the owners of the land beside our Two acres, to sell us an additional acre of Land at a great price. In our recent Dallas Texas Unlimited Anointing conference I shared on Wednesday Morning the blessing of being able to have this great opportunity to purchase an additional acre of Ground. I shared what the acre is going to cost. Then we received a great offering towards the acre to purchase it.. After we arrived home from the conference we receive great news from James and Brenda, friends that have been powerfully ministered to by the Lord in various SFWM meetings. The Lord put it upon their hearts to make up the difference of what was needed to purchase the acre! Praise the Lord.. We are able to purchase the additional acre for cash! What a great blessing that is from the Lord through these precious people. We want to say thank you for all of you who have already sown into this project. Thank YOU!


You will be a part of raising a generation to touch the nations with a demonstration of God's might, power, character, and integrity, by training and equipping men and women, young and old, in the deeper things of the Kingdom, to see God's Kingdom advance and establish. Together, we will raise a company of believers who will live in the unlimited realm of God, and wear the mantle of revival!

Please become a history maker with us. Move forward, and help us dig the well of revival by sowing into these awesome and mighty Kingdom projects. Countless thousands of people will be transformed by your giving into these two projects.

In summary, here are our present, immediate needs:

We would like to pay off the other two acre and begin to immediately build the ministry area of the complex to hold schools-and conferences in Amarillo.

I know that I know the Lord will bless you as you sow into this wonderful opportunity to raise up the foundation of many generations..

I would like to ask you to sow a generous offering at this time so we can do this! Your gift large or small is a gift from the Lord for His work... We are so grateful to the Lord for His Precious People and their heart after His Kingdom...
