Matthew 5:43-45 - “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com.

Dear Co-laborers in Christ:
I trust all of you had a good Christmas and a wonderful New Year. How wonderful it is to serve our Lord and to have a part in His Kingdom. Work is continuing on the Hispanic project and we praise the Lord for His help. Please pray about your church giving a special gift to help get these folks in their building. They have been waiting 14 years for a place of worship.
At the time of this writing, Pastor Claude LaFortune and his wife Eunide have already lost eight members of their family in the earthquake in Haiti. Eunide has lost a sister and two nieces and Pastor Claude has lost two brothers, two sisters, and a niece. Please pray for these folks in their time of grief. Also, pray for the children’s ministry they support in Haiti. (over 40 children) At this time they do not know what has happen to this ministry.
We are raising money through the Association to help Claude get to Haiti and to help with the ministry there.
We continue to see God’s hand move in this Association. God is working in our mission field and we must pray that we never lose the vision to reach precious souls that are living in darkness.
Let me encourage you to keep up your support of the Cooperative Program. Gifts have fallen off in recent months and we need to remember that we must at all costs keep the missionaries on the field. At this time we have missionaries in the Convention who have been called and commissioned to go to the field but cannot go because of a lack of funds.
I realize that times are hard, but God’s work must go forward. However, not only is there a shortage of funds, we are in need of many more missionaries than those already commissioned. The fields are white unto harvest, but where are the laborers? God has promised to raise them up, and our part is to send them when he does. Let us pray and give. We have the greatest mission program there is anywhere.
In sharing all of this, I must raise a question.Which is the greatest; using funds for an individual church project or helping with the support of 11,000 missionaries and helping start over 23,000 churches in one year? We can do so much more when we join together!
This does not mean we neglect our local responsibilities, but we must remember that we exist as a Convention for the purpose of spreading the Gospel to the world. Missions giving through the Cooperative Program is the thread that holds us together. Through the Cooperative Program we are doing what the greatest majority of our churches could not do. We do not have a church in our Convention that could afford to do what all of us are doing together. Please pray for our missionaries and let us do all we can to keep them there and to send out more to fill the places where they are needed.
Brenda and I love you all and are so thankful for the gracious reception we always get from our churches. We thank God for you all!
Ken and Brenda Cloud
