UnitedStatesBibleSociety: Newsletter
February 1, 2014 
Greetings!

Welcome to the Monthly Newsletter of the United States Bible Society. Our goal is to keep you informed on our Community and Ministry. Below is a word of encouragement, a thanksgiving, a look back, a look forward, our financial statement, and what we need to meet the vision the Lord has placed on our Hearts. Please enjoy and Pray over this Months Newsletter.

Fall in Love with Jesus
To Love Him is to Know Him
              
As we turn the page on a new month we focus on February which is know as the month of love because it is the home of Valentines Day. In thinking of my own marriage I can only think of how much I love my wife. After 20 years of Marriage I find myself loving her more simply because I know her better. We have been through good times and bad and through it all we have an incredible bond and love for one another. In making application I can say the same about my Lord-Jesus. I love Him more because I know Him more. Reading His Word and Experiencing His Spirit in good times and bad I spent many hours seeking His Face and as a result I now love Him more. In both my marriage and my spiritual walk with the Lord the key element is "time". The more time I spend with my wife the closer we become and the more time I spend with my Lord in Prayer and His Word the closer I become and the more my Love grows. How about you? How is your relationship with the Lord? Let us remember the simple truth of falling in love with Jesus simply takes time of prayer and His Word as we walk with Him through His Indwelling Holy Spirit.  
Thank You
Your Labor is not in Vain. 
    
"Thank You," to all those who are apart of this work as we had another good report of Souls Saved, Bibles Distributed, Devotions Emailed, Web Hits, Bibles Downloaded, Audio Bibles Accessed, and Online Bibles Accessed. Thanks again, for everyone who Prayed, Supplied Funds, Made Visits, Answered Emails, Placed Phone Calls, Provided Bibles, Delivered Bibles, and Shared the Gospel. Your labor is not in vain as I receive mail every day of souls being saved and lives being changed. Let us be encouraged to press to the mark of continuing in the Lord, to do His Will, and His Work in these last days.
Looking Back
A Fast Start: 
In January we started working toward our new goals looking to attain 5 million web hits after the 4.3 million of 2013. We started fast with 424,998 in our first month of 2014. Each month comes with new challenges but with every challenge we see the Lord supply our needs. We have been pushing for automation but after focusing on our new goals and seeking the Lord in Prayer - I believe we need less automation and more of a personal intervention. Having individuals minister one on one verses just automated responses based on need as we make Prayer a main focus to minister to individuals. Lydia is doing a great job helping with all the request while praying over each request for the Lord to meet the spiritual need as well as the physical needs of the individual. This has caused me to focus on raising funds to add staff in the future. Please continue to pray that we can be 100% debt free allowing us to serve in any capacity that the Lord leads. I am excited about what the Lord is doing and again thank you for your prayers.

Looking Forward
Our Next Step: 
     
The Lord placed on my heart to add the Life Application notes that I send in our daily devotion to our commentary section of our Online Bible. This will make each Chapter of our Online Bible a devotion in itself with a Chapter of Scripture, Matthew Henry Commentary on the Chapter, and now my Life Application Notes all on the same page. I will start this project next month. We are also Launching our Phone Gospel Message that works with the Tracts we had printed. This allows the caller to hear the Gospel Message and Order a Free Bible from our toll free phone number that is on the tract. We are changing our focus from automating our Bible Request Search and Placement with a focus on individual ministry and prayer for each who contact us. I will continue raising funds to accomplish this task. We also will update and expand our discipleship with an online college to equip saints for the great commission. All of our work will take prayer and funding as we make ourselves available to serve the Lord in this Ministry.  
Our Finances
 Ministry Finance Report  

 
Words cannot express our appreciation for all who give to the United States Bible Society. Funds given are only a small portion that is invested as thousand of Church Partners provide Bibles daily at their cost. As with any Ministry we have costs to provide our services. I too contribute to this Ministry and receive no personal support for our work. We have grown to the point where we need the Lord to Burden Churches and others to give to meet our financial needs. Thank you for your gifts.
