Weekly Global Media Outreach Prayer Letter

Button - Scripture

“So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in closhs and placed him in a manger, because,there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:5 7)

Button - The People

Please pray for the people of Bethlehem. This tiny village in the country of Israel is where Jesus Christ was born over 2,000 years ago. Please pray that the peace and joy of Jesus would fill this town which has been subject to so much strife in recent years.

At www.iChristianLife.com, you can find many resources to help you grow in your Christian life. If you click here here, you can see 4 short videos by Joyce Bartholomew who will share Life Lessons that God has taught her. One of the life lessons is “Be Joyful” -- how you can be continually joyful no matter what the circumstances.

“Joy to the world, the Lord has come! Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing!”

There are the words to a Christmas song. It is so true — Joy to the world! The angel said when Jesus was born, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”

Where does this joy come from? Jesus is our Savior; He has paid the price for our sins. When we accept Him as Lord and Savior, our sins are forgiven and we are assured of eternity in heaven.

Jesus is the source of our joy no matter what our circumstances. Jesus Himself was born in humble circumstances in a stable. His family was not rich, and He no doubt had to work much of His life. His country was oppressed at that time by the Roman Empire. Yet Jesus had joy — and you can too! Even if you are sick, or poor, or discouraged, Jesus Christ can be the source of your joy this Christmas — and throughout the coming year and the rest of your life.

So this Christmas, let us celebrate the birth of Jesus with great joy. Let us pray this week

  • That someday soon everyone in the world would know the true meaning of Christmas — that Jesus is born!
  • That God would give our staff at Global Media Outreach great peace and joy
  • That your family this Christmas would experience the joy of knowing Jesus personally

Merry Christmas from all of us at Global Media Outreach to you and your family!

Weekly Global Media Outreach Prayer Letter

Button - Scripture

“The angel answered (Mary, Jesus’ mother), “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God...For nothing is impossible with God.’” (Luke 1:35, 37)

Jesus is the Son of God! As we celebrate Christmas this year, let us remember and honor Jesus Christ as the true and only Son of God.

The Bible says that Jesus was born of a virgin — that God Himself was the Father of Jesus Christ. This is a great mystery that our human minds may not be able to fully comprehend. God Himself became a man and lived among us. Jesus Christ was fully a man — He was a human being. But He was also fully God — the Son of God here on earth.

When Jesus was born, shepherd were out in the fields at night tending their sheep. Suddenly “an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord...” You can read the full story in the Bible in the gospel of Luke, chapters 1 and 2.

So Jesus is God’s Son. What does that mean to us? It means many things — among them, that

  • God loves us
  • God lived as a human among us so He understands us
  • God was willing to come to earth and live and die for our sins so we could be forgiven
  • How great is God’s love for us! So this week, let us pray that

    • Global Media Outreach would see millions of people pray to receive Christ this next year
    • God would fill our staff each and every day with His peace and joy and Holy Spirit
    • God would bless your family this Christmas time with His peace and they would all follow Jesus
    • THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers. You have no idea how much they mean to us. Your prayers can touch God’s heart and bring Him joy — and can bring much benefit here on earth.

      May God bless you! And may you have a blessed Christmas.

You can complete 6 simple Bible studies here. Each Bible study will take about 20 minutes to do and covers a key area of the Christian life. You can also get there by clicking “study the Bible” at www.iChristianLife.com.

This is the season we celebrate Christmas — the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord! Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to this earth to be born.

The Bible describes how “God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary...The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the Name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High...His kingdom will never end.”

Even though Mary was a virgin and had never had relations with a man, God said she would give birth to a Son Jesus — and He would be called the Son of God. This was a great miracle — God became a man and lived among us.

How great is the love of God for us! God could have just judged us — He could have ignored us — but He did not. Instead, He came to earth to be born as a man and give His life for our sins. It is a privilege to serve such a wonderful God.

This week, let us join together and pray for

  • The love of God to be poured out on everyone who comes to our web sites
  • Jesus Christ would become known as Savior to all your famlly
  • God would help our staff to be filled and controlled with the Holy Spirit each and every day

Let us pray that, at this Christmas time of year, the hearts of people all over the world would turn to Jesus Christ the Savior. He alone can save people from their sins. He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He alone will come again to rule the whole earth. He alone is worthy of all praise

THANK YOU so much for your faithful prayers.

May God bless you and your family this Christmas and always,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

“Give thanks to the Lord.” It is so important to give thanks to our wonderful God. In America at this time of year, there is a holiday Thanksgiving that is specially set aside to give thanks.

God is the source of every good thing in our lives. In heaven He will be with us forever and will give us every good gift. Here on earth, the greatest gift of all is His Son Jesus who died on the cross for our sins. “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all — how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”

So let us give thanks to God. You can give thanks for who He is — our Savior, our Lord, the creator of the universe. You can give thanks for His character — He is loving, and kind, and forgiving, and just, and patient. You can give thanks for the good things in your life — for life, and air to breathe, and food, and your family. And you can even give thanks in the middle of tough times, because God will see you through them and even in difficult circumstances He can bring good in your life.

So let us give thanks! This week, let us pray and

  • Give thanks to God for who He is and His wonderful love to us
  • Give thanks to God by faith for His financial provision this year and next year for us all
  • Give thanks to God for one specific thing He has done for you this year.

THANK YOU so much for your love and prayers. We are brothers and sisters in Christ with all true believers all around the world. People from countries all over the world get this prayer email; someday we will meet in heaven!

May God bless you at this time of Thanksgiving,

God is faithful! Have you ever had someone who betrayed you — who you could not trust?

God is the exact opposite of that — He is totally faithful and trustworthy. “He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” You can know for sure that God loves you — and that He will always do what is best for you. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

If you are walking across a bridge, you want to know that the bridge will hold your weight — that you can trust walking on it. Please know that God is altogether trustworthy — no one who truly trusts in Him will ever be put to shame. God is faithful, and loving, and kind — His nature is truth. You can trust in Him with your whole life and He will never let you down.

We want the whole world to know Christ! So this week, can you please pray that

  • God will help you to truly trust in Him with your whole heart
  • God will help us reach even more people for Jesus Christ using the internet
  • God will protect our staff and bless our newly revised site www.iChristianLife.com

THANK YOU so much for your faithful prayers. God dwells within the praises of His people. He is pleased when you pray to Him and you talk with Him and you listen to Him.

You can click here at the newly redesigned www.iChristianLife.com to watch a great series of one minute videos by Dorman Followwill about every book of the Bible. Do you want to know a short summary of what each of the 66 books of the Bible teaches? This starts at the Old Testament; you can skip ahead and go to the New Testament if you want to learn about the New Testament books.

Joy in the Midst of Sorrow. How can you have joy in the midst of sorrow? The best example of this in history is Jesus Christ rising from the dead almost 2,000 years ago.

The disciples, the followers of Jesus, were overcome with sorrow. Jesus had just been crucified and placed in a tomb. The disciples did not fully understand yet that Jesus would rise from the dead, so they thought that death had won.

But on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead! “Death where is your victory.” Jesus Christ had conquered sin, and death, and hell. He rose victorious — and granted us the gift of eternal life to all who would believe in Him.

What is your greatest trial, or test, or sorrow? Can you believe that, even out of death and disaster, God can bring good? When the disciples traveled with Jesus and were in a storm in their boat and thought that they would die, Jesus rebuked the wind and waves and it became calm — and He said to them, “Where is your faith?”

Let us place our faith in Jesus Christ — who can bring life from death, resurrection from a tomb, health out of disaster. God’s power is greater than all the adversaries in the universe — and He is our loving and kind heavenly Father!

So this week, let us pray that

  • God will help you see good and find joy even if you have great sorrow and tragedy in your life
  • God will bring His peace and happiness and joy into the lives of our staff team at Global Media Outreach
  • God will help us see more than 10,000 people each day indicate decisions for Jesus Christ through our websites

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!! Only in heaven will you truly know how much your prayers have contributed in giving the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.

May God bless you,

Global Media Outreach has just launched free internet radio — www.iChristianLifeRadio.com. This radio station, available by clicking onliine, has worship music and short teachings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can listen anytime. Our prayer is that www.iChristianLifeRadio.com will help you grow in your Christian life. It can also help you worship God as you listen to inspirational Christian music.

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.” What is worship? It is telling God you love Him. You can do this in song; you can do this in talking to God; you can do this when you are driving; you can do this in church.

Our first command is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our heart, and with all our strength. A great way to do this is to use music to express our love to God.

We can thank God for all that He has done for us — and we can praise Him for who He is. Praise Him for creating the world; Praise Him for His love, and His mercy, and His goodness.

Finally, When you listen to Christian worship music, you can sing quietly along in your hearts. Listen to the words; and let your thoughts go to God and how wonderful He is!

So this week, let us pray and

  • Thank God for all He has done for you!
  • Tell God how much you love Him
  • Pray for God’s peace and joy to fill the hearts of all of our staff here at Global Media Outreach

Someday in heaven we will all be worshipping and praising God together. What a wonderful day that will be — we can all see our King face to face. Thank you so much for your faithful prayers.

Jesus Christ is the light of the world. What does this mean?

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Jesus Christ shines light into our lives. Just as sunlight brightens up the day with warm colors, so Jesus brings joy and love and peace into our lives. Just as sunlight reveals things, so Jesus in His love reveals things so we can see clearly from God’s perspective what is true in our lives.

Just as light dispels darkness, so Jesus causes the dark things in our lives to flee. Someday in heaven, Jesus will be our true light. The Bible says heaven will “not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.”

Finally, Jesus Christ is the light of the world because He, and He alone, is the true source of all that is good and righteous and holy in the world. God alone is the source of all that is good. If you have the light of Jesus shining in your life, then let that light bring joy, and truth, and healing, and revelation to you — and let that light shine into all the world around you! God wants us to be a clear windowpane so the light of Jesus shines through us to others.

So this week, can you please pray for

  • The light of Jesus to shine through your life to at least one other person this week — and then email us and tell us about it!
  • The light of Jesus to bring health and joy and healing in the lives of all our Global Media Outreach staff
  • The light of Jesus to shine through all our websites so that millions of people will come to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers. Only in heaven will you truly know how much your prayers have helped us at Global Media Outreach and how your prayers have touched the heart of God. God loves you so much! He loves to spend time with you.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach
