We have now passed the baton, and 2025 is history. Every year that passes, we’re one year closer to going home to worship and serve God the Father and God the Son face to face, by the power of the Holy Spirit. What a hope, and what excitement that generates in my spirit! 

Looking back, I’m very pleased with what was accomplished in the Name of Jesus last year. Our crusade work in the Philippines continues throughout our church network, and the churches themselves are growing and planting new satellite works in many places. 

Our Rhema Bible Training Center conducted three trimesters of study, and has just begun another trimester the first week of January. Disaster relief was provided to our affected churches and victims of the major earthquake and typhoon last fall. 

As our ministry motto declares: now more than ever, we are REACHING, TEACHING AND TRAINING for Jesus in these last days. To God be all the glory, and may the Name of Jesus continue to be magnified in 2026.  

As you can see from these photos, over the Christmas season our workers have been installing the roof to our White House Reconstruction project. They are also working on cement finishing for the ground floor rooms. Day by day progress is being made, but there is still much work to be done. Thank you for your prayers and financial gifts to enable us to keep going with this project.

Also during the Christmas season, our churches continued with their outreach activities. The Philippines is the ripest harvest field I have ever encountered, and we work to take full advantage of that! 

Crusades are conducted in many places, and whenever we do, we consistently see most of the people who attend receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, and if needed, as Healer. 

Our MKMI USA office underwrites the expenses that make these crusades possible, so we thank you once again for your continued support.

In our November COLD WATER, we made you aware of our special need regarding the car we were forced to buy due to Ethel’s wreck in September that totaled her 2011 Murano SUV. 

God has been very gracious and faithful, moving upon many people to give towards the pay-off of the car loan we had to take out for the purchase. 

We started with a loan payoff amount of just over $40,000 for a six-year loan. At the moment, we only have a little over $9,000 left to pay – and that loan will be history! 

Please give your best gift to help if you can. Please refer to the letter written on our behalf from Rev. Doug Daniels:

The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself. Proverbs 11:25. 

Remember, your help in this case is NOT tax deductible. This isn’t a request for ministry funds, but a plea for personal assistance.

If you have it in your heart to help with a monthly contribution or a one-time gift, here are your options: 1) If sending by check, make it payable directly to us: MIKE and ETHEL KEYES. Send it to PO Box 91916, Tucson, AZ. 85752. 2) If sending electronically using ZELLE, use the cell # 520-465-5906.

Thank you! 

Agree with us for a steady level of support that continues to increase. We’re feeding on God’s faithfulness (Psalms 37:3). 

As our COLD-WATER newsletters indicate, we’re busy about the Father’s business, reaching, teaching and training brothers, sisters, pastors and leaders worldwide, especially in the Philippines. 

Our goal is to reach at least ONE MILLION SOULS for Jesus in our ministry’s lifetime. Your partnership enables us to keep reaching out like this, one person at a time. 

FACEBOOK LIVE STREAM – UPCOMING SCHEDULE

Please take note of the dates for our upcoming live streams:

Dates: Upcoming livestream schedules: January 8th & 29th.

Time: 7:30pm Arizona time, which is 10:30am Philippine time, the next day. 

Dates and times are always subject to change, per the leading of the Lord. 

But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none…. 1 Corinthians 7:29

When Paul wrote this letter to the Corinthian church, he exhorted them to adopt a lifestyle that demonstrates an awareness of time. Specifically, an awareness of the shortness of time left before God’s hourglass runs out on the human race. If this was the reality around 2,000 years ago, how much closer are we now to the end of time as we know it? 

Look around at world events and anyone with eyes to see can see everything is coming apart at the seams. A lifestyle of sin and outright rebellion against God and His word is to be found in every corner of the globe, as the Bible accurately declares.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20. Also read 1 Timothy chapter 4 for amplification of these points.

This is important to understand because we – and we alone - are God’s Ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) on earth. As such, all of us have the honor and responsibility to go into all the world and tell people there is a heaven and a hell, and by their own choice, everyone is going to one or the other upon death. 

If they reject our message, that’s on them not us, so relax! Our hands are clean (see Ezekiel chapters 3 and 33). If you’re not actively supporting ministries who emphasize soul-winning, and if you yourself aren’t placing a priority on telling people about Jesus – its time to change that! 

As an example, our MKMI ministry needs more partners to help us with our crusades and church planting projects in the Philippines. That’s one way you can get involved, but there are many other ways as well. Like the Apostle Paul, I earnestly plead with you to make soul-winning your number one priority in this new year – and beyond (1 Thessalonians 4:1). 

Ask for the Lord’s help with personal evangelism, and He’ll be happy to give it. Look for soul-winning ministries to partner with, and God will lead you to them. Daniel 12:3 tells us that they who win souls, or help others win souls, will shine as the stars in heaven forever! Don’t let that magnificent promise pass you by! Its up to you. 

God needs us and He needs you. The world needs us and they need you. Therefore, prioritize your time, talent and money. Let this be the best adjustment you make for 2026! Nothing else can compare!
