Pray for Revival
God is in control and He, in His mercy, is using difficult days to draw us back to Himself, (see Isa. 45:5-7). We would be wise to “discern the signs of the times” and repent, (see Matt. 16:2-3). We, His people, have taken God for granted. His timeless warning applies to us, “Beware lest you forget the Lord your God . . . for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,” (Deut. 8:11-18, NASB).
In unity, let’s respond to our gracious Lord’s call, “Return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments . . . who knows whether He will not turn and relent . . . Blow a trumpet in Zion” (Joel 2:12-19, NASB). See Dr. Gather everyone you can and fervently pray for revival of our first love. O Church, Arise!

A Trip of a Lifetime -- 13 Incredible Days!
You'll Never be the Same!
I have been privileged to pastor for thirty-six years, and one of my greatest joys in life aside from seeing people accept the saving grace of Jesus Christ, is seeing Christians grow in their faith and Bible knowledge.
During my ministry, I have discovered that a pilgrimage to the Holy Land enhances one’s Biblical knowledge beyond one’s wildest imagination. The pilgrim encounters the old and the new—a modern high-tech Holy Land that preserves the antiquities of the past. You walk in the footsteps of our Lord as well as the prophets, priests, and kings—the Bible comes alive in a three-dimensional panorama.
I have had the amazing opportunity to travel to the Holy Land many times, and with each trip, my knowledge of the land, the people and its history only enhance my Biblical knowledge. And even today, as one traverses the country, you can see Bible prophecy fulfilled with the gathering of the Jewish people to the land of Israel—the land that God chose as His own.
God did not choose any other destination in the world—He chose Israel as the place to bring salvation to the world. That is why I encourage you to join us for our 2009 pilgrimage to the Holy Land. You will never be the same!
Shalom,
Rev. Doug Reeves
“Each time that I have the extraordinary opportunity to visit the Holy Land, I see the Bible through fresh eyes. The geography, history, and culture of the Bible come alive! When I read God’s Word, I find myself in the three-dimensional world of the prophets, priests, kings, and Jesus himself. Passages of scripture that I may have passed over with little understanding are now read with a new perspective. I would never have experienced it without seeing it with my own eyes.” –Judy Reeves
