Funding for Life Assurance Ministries

Editor

 

Life Assurance Ministries, Inc. is a faith ministry and totally dependant upon God's blessings and the donations of its supporters. Life Assurance Ministries Inc. is an official ministry of Christian Community Church in Glendale, Arizona where I pastored for the last two and three quarter years. The only financial support LAM receives from this church, however, are funds that are marked specifically for this ministry.

When I took over as pastor at Christian Community there were only four adult members. God has richly blessed and now we have about 150 attending each weekend. Life Assurance Ministries began taking more and more of my time and I realized that I could not do justice to both the church and LAM. After much prayer, I realized that another pastor could give leadership to this church but I knew of no one who could take over LAM. Because of my past experience, I feel God has equipped me for, and called me to, this ministry. I invite you to hold me up in prayer. That is the most important thing! We have seen so many answers to prayer. God has used many of you to answer our prayers. I invite you to partner with me in expanding this ministry. I will be sharing many of the letters we receive, thanking us for this ministry. Those who want to support this ministry may send donations made payable to "Christian Community Church." Be sure and indicate on the check that it is for "LAM, Inc." You will receive a tax-deductible receipt just after the end of the year. We trust that LAM, Inc. will soon be recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) religious non-profit Corporation. Then we will be able to receive donations directly, however, during the interim, we are working under Christian Community Church. Mail all donations to:

Life Assurance Ministries, Inc.

PO Box 11587

Glendale, AZ 85318

Dale Ratzlaff just resigned this pastorate to work full time with LAM. This is a faith ministry approved by, but not funded by, this church.

Christian Community Church is doing well.

Life Assurance Ministries, Inc. will focus on former Adventist ministries as outlined earlier in this issue.
