Dear Daily Jot Reader,
What has driven me to write The Daily Jot faithfully for over 13 years is the call of the Lord on my heart. What encourages me when I feel like giving up are the multitude of emails like these:
"
Keep stirring our minds and hearts to God's prophetic
Scripture during these end times!
"--DSC
"
Want to thank you for all you hard work and encouragement, Read and forward your "Daily Jot" all the time."--OC
"
'Just thank you so much that the LORD has called you to this ministry... this work...this vision...carry on I get excited to read what you post each day.
"--RR
"WOW! You should get the Pulitzer Prize For Truth Telling for those excellent comments. I bet all you get is a good, swift KICK IN THE TEETH, ole buddy! LOL. Keep'm coming!!!!!-- BT
It's the thousands of emails like these that I have received over the past 13 years that serve as a true testimony to God's faithfulness, His mercy and His transforming power. This all has been made possible through the prayers and support of friends like you over the years.
The Daily Jot reached a milestone this week when we topped nearly 6,000 active subscribers and a nearly 6,000 reach on Facebook. And I know that many of you faithfully send the Jot to your lists, or publish it on your websites, or share it with your small groups, which reach approximately 20,000 people per day. That's exactly what the Lord intends for you to do, as well as to be encouraged to use the information provided to take a stand for God's righteousness.
From time to time, I have asked for your financial assistance to keep the Jot going. And each month the Lord has provided through a handful of the faithful who share in this vision. I have never asked the Lord for a surplus, only to meet our monthly needs so we could minister yet another month.
This never has been easy, but we have learned to depend on the Lord because He stirs the hearts of folks such as yourself. Through the unction of the Holy Spirit and the encouragement of the Saints, I have kept writing in obedience to the Lord because now more than ever we need bold witnesses to speak the truth.
Our ministry here in the states and our outreach in Ghana, West Africa do a good work with very limited resources. We are not hirelings. There is no salary taken from the Jot. Children are fed and clothed, pastors are raised up, education is provided, and many, such as yourself, are equipped with daily information that can be and is used for expanding and edifying God's kingdom.
I believe that there are several reading these words right now who have the ability to step up and help this ministry with a gift, and I am asking you to pray and make that commitment. God knows your heart; and it's not about the amount, its about your obedience--just as it is my obedience to write what He lays on my heart each day.
Please don't ignore this email. Without the funds to operate, The Daily Jot cannot exist. There is no fancy office here, no huge staff, no extravagancy that have come to be the hallmark of many major ministries.
Or you can send your gift to:
