The Pastor: Passover, Mission Church, Newsletter, Radio, a Mission Update

Linda (mom) making Passover Lamb kabobs

Greetings,

Well we are still in the week of unleavened bread…we had a small but great Passover time with my Son, granddaughter, daughter (Daughter –in-law0, their best friend (who we claim as family that lives with them after my wife went and rescued him from Missouri) my son Elijah who lives with us, and of course my wife and I…it was enjoyable as we reflected how the blood of the door posts on our hearts was making this plague Passover us as at the first Passover the angel of death passed over those that had the blood of the lamb on their doorposts…the first Passover saved us from a physical death then Messiah came and saved us from a spiritual death….

It has been very hard for us as it is with many because we finally had decided it was best to pull back till May 1^st at the Mission Church…we went back over there on the Sabbath to check the mail and the only ones we saw out was the neighbors oh and the police the bicycle police roaming the neighborhood making sure people were doing the inside thing…I have placed a call or rather text to someone who works in the homeless community to see if the city had indeed opened the old library to house the homeless or if they were simply hiding…

We have decide to starting May 1^st to do a to go meal a full dinner and pass out hygiene outside in our fenced courtyard…we are still making adjustments as to our plans but we let the people know though signs we put up and the neighbors as to our plans…we have only been home two weeks, the home part does not bug us as it bothers most because we are home normally except the two mission days..yes also a few trips to the store but mostly home…

It does however really bug us we have not been there helping but it got almost impossible to do and still be safe and then with the lockdown orders it looks like everyone is well gone, hiding, or something…we are going to do something just not stay home and play it safe…again we are trying to figure out a plan for May 1^st. We actually did not pull back when we did for our safety but for our family in Florence where we live at safety….

We also made sure that some people that had nothing to stay in for month received food boxes that provided for them for a month….if you have any suggestions for us or wish to contact me feel free to text me at 316-619-4886 or email me at mbn@messiahsbranch.org we welcome comments or suggestions….

Israel had said that they would have a vaccine soon… Israeli scientists: 'In a few weeks, we will have coronavirus vaccine'

Once the vaccine is developed, it will take at least 90 days to complete the regulatory process and potentially more to enter the marketplace.

That was back over a Month ago…. We will see J

One way or another we will adjust to what is going on and be back out there helping the poor and homeless, we are about to start increasing radio..by way of YouTube live and podcast..so I guess that cannot be counted as radio…it will not get to all the people that listen to us on FM and Satellite live radio programs but it will help because we have seen a large increase in people listening since the national lockdown..we have been sounding the alarm since mid January warning everyone every week, some people are starting to notice that in more are now listening but donations have not gone up…

We would be non functioning had we not been helped by a 3 fold increase in a monthly donation that comes every month….that one made up for a shortfall in donations that keep the main things going…it was a onetime bailout...then two of our longest supporters have kept their donations ongoing which is great because they are here every week like clockwork, with one sending some extra the last two weeks!

This made up for roughly 4 donations that come monthly online have well just stopped, why my guess would be laid off or???? BUT You see the FATHER provided for us as he has for the last almost 20 years we have been doing the Mission Church…will be full 20 years in June! Do we need more help? Yes we do while our shortfall was helped this month we are unsure of where things are going we are trying to adjust in uncertain times except we will be ongoing as when you are called to the FATHER'S Service you just do not stop like a job as it is a lifetime calling and not a well job….My wife also informed me of about $1,800 in normal donations that did not come in but the ministry that tripled its donations picked that up…but it was the FATHER using others that made up the difference….and for the record due to age a couple of medical condition my wife and are both very high risk even though we both take care of ourselves with exercise, gym, food, etc and even as I am to be 65 this year I am more like in the good health of a 50 year old according to my doctor who I see on a regular basis twice or more a year…

Look at things this way, prophetic yep we are in the TIME of the END, but as it will be with all things it is a birth pain it will get easier, then come again, and again, and gain till Yeshua returns, we have to understand that this lockdown is not permanent as some would love, but temporary, will things be completely old normal again, I seriously do not think so, but should we just give up? NO we go on and adjust and keep up the FATHER'S work….seek HIM…we need to all reflect on what we do in life and look at how we react to this to see what is really important to us and it had better be our focus is on YESHUA and HIS work FIRST!

Is this punishment on the USA? I think we are handling this better than another country Thanks to our President that the FATHER gave us! We need to pray for him… This thing this virus is worldwide not just the USA…

Newsletter

Today I am working on our mail-out newsletter, we was able to buy ink thanks to a donation and it should or will help warn folks and give people who do not even do the internet information, but we need a $125 for paper and postage..I pray this come comes soon as it will be ready to mail on Wed.

Radio is paid up till June 1^st, a great blessing…..

If you have a guest you think would be good etc let us know at mbn@messiahsbranch.org we are also looking for people with real dreams and visions so got any ideas let us know as we are here really for everyone or at the least try to be….
