Can I Relate My Story?

Pastor Tim Walker

1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,
2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me;
5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes,
11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:1-11 (ESV)

…Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, butunderstand what the will of the Lord is.
18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,
20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:14b-21 (ESV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:22-26 (ESV)

World In Need International: Europe and the Middle East

Jon & Suzanne support pastors and churches in Europe and the Middle East so that local pastors can

better minister to their own people through counseling and mentoring. If you would like to receive their newsletter, please send them an email at TheWrights02@gmail.com as they cannot post their letter online due their work in sensitive countries. Their monthly support level is about $500.00 a month short due to the deaths of a couple supporters in the last quarter. They are sharing this information so that God can move people He calls to support them. Watch your email for a video conference date coming sometime in March.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for our students, church planters and workers who are training, mentoring and helping each week. God has given us a broad ministry with students in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan and South Sudan. We are amazed and blessed.
• We are facing a significant need to buy another computer for the work. All our ministry depends on the computer and we use it with online ministry every day. At moment we only have one and if that fails we are in trouble and it is 5 years old. We usually try to buy one when in the USA because it is so much cheaper but we cannot make it there at this time. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Wrights, you may choose “Missionary of the Month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here. Alternatively, you may visit their World in Need Donation website.
