As I look back some four decades ago, the most glorious day of my life took place on a cool Spring day in 1971 when I walked into this Pentecostal Church in Juneau, Alaska and gave my life to Jesus Christ. His Presence came flooding into my spirit and I was forever changed! All desire for drugs and drinking immediately left me as new desires began to settle in. To my husband's delight, I got my first job so I could help him pay off our huge debt and provide for our children's needs. After cashing my first paycheck, I stuffed a month's salary in my coat pocket and rushed off to church. When the offering plate was being passed from row to row, I asked the Lord, "What do you want me to give Lord?" He said, "Put your hand in your pocket and whatever you can grasp, give that amount!" I thought, "I have really big hands Lord but I will obey you." With great joy, I put my hand into my pocket, grabbed what I could and I gave my first fistful of bills; and since that day, I have never stopped giving. My husband and I have given away cars, trucks, fur coats, clothes, food, jewelry, and the more we give, the more joy, inexpressible joy we have in our giving.
When I answered the Lord's call into full-time ministry I began traveling to Indian villages and then to the nations always going "free of charge". I trusted the Lord to meet all my financial needs and He has never failed me, not one time. Some places I ministered at could not give anything but other places gave abundantly. The Word is true: As it is written, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little did not lack." II Corinthians 8:15.
In Numbers 18:23,24 it says the tithe is to be given to the Levites. In Ephesians 4:7-11 it says the New Testament Levites are the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and the teachers. As full-time ministers of the Gospel, we (as N.T. Levites) are here to train and equip the saints so they do the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church). If you would like to partner with me in this "T.N.T. - training new Timothy's", all financial gifts will be used towards this end. Your gifts, large or small, are tax-deductible and a receipt will be given to you at the end of the year. As my partner in the harvest, we will both share in the rewards of seeing the newly-formed "T.N.T.'s", that next generation of revivalists moving in power. Thank you for your giving. Please make your checks out to Global Glory Ministries. Thank you very much!
As a token of my appreciation, I will send you a gift of my choosing. I pray it will be a source of great blessing to you as you have been a blessing to me.
