Trusting Jesus through difficult times

Editors

 

As we prepare to send this issue of Proclamation! to the printer, it is becoming routine to hear of banks failing and markets falling. Is this going to end our way of life, or only make it more difficult for a time—or is Jesus' coming just around the corner?

Do you know Jesus? Have you repented and trusted Him and His payment for your sins? If you can answer "yes" to those questions, then the hard times which seem to be crouching at our door are not fearsome. With Jesus we can pass through anything! The Good Shepherd portrayed in Psalm 23 is one who is with us and also provides for us, even while passing through the shadow of death.

 

Financial needs mount

Here at Life Assurance Ministries, we continue to answer the call for Proclamation! magazine to be mailed to nearly 35,000 homes, as well as providing the online versions in both English and Spanish. This work is not cheap. Our budget for this year is $300,000, which pays for the magazines, websites, speaking appointments, and books and other literature. We thank our supporters who have already provided substantially this year. Please continue to remember us in two ways:

• Pray for us every day. Pray that we will remain faithful to the Lord and His Word, and to the work He has given us.

• If you don't already support this work, consider monthly or one time cash donations by check or credit card. Send your check to Life Assurance Ministries, PO Box 7776, Redlands, CA 92375, or you may pay with your credit card online at LifeAssuranceMinistries.com. You may also phone with your credit card information, (800) 355-7073. This is also the phone number for purchasing Dale Ratzlaff's books.

We praise our Lord Jesus for providing all that we need and we look forward to seeing Him soon! If you would like to talk to someone about Jesus or have your Biblical questions answered, please phone Colleen and Richard Tinker at (909) 794-9804 or Dale and Carolyn Ratzlaff at (800) 355-7073.
