If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:1,11
2012 has already proven to be a year of change for Renevatuse. We know that the Lord tells us there are seasons for everything, and while some changes are sad others are exciting. The first change you will notice is that Todd is no longer with Renevatuse. He feels led to focus on other areas of ministry. While we are sad that Todd is not with us anymore, we know he will be fruitful in his other ministries. We will be praying for Todd and look forward to seeing how the Lord is going to use him!! We have had lots of people ask if we plan to look for a new member. We are not openly looking for anyone, but we are open to whatever the Lord has for us. You will also notice the absence of two others at our events. Sahara’s mom (Jamomma) and Delores Allison both went to heaven rejoicing recently. These two ladies supported our ministry and were some of our biggest prayer warriors. We will miss them greatly but we know that they are singing with us and are finally able to dance freely. They both lived their lives as great testimonies to God’s faithfulness!! Now some happy news!! We have received the paperwork and are officially a 501-3C non-profit ministry. This opens an exciting chapter for us! We have been praying about being able to pursue this ministry full time, and for the opportunities that will open for us in recovery ministry. Our passion to share the Lord’s deliverance from addiction has only intensified and we are excited about what this year holds for us!! The non-profit status will allow us to raise funds allowing us travel to more recovery centers, prisons, CRs, churches, jails, detention centers, and many other fields where the harvest is ready!! Any funds we raise, or donations received are tax deductible to the donor. We are praying about how the Lord wants us to pursue raising support and we are confident that he has a plan for us. We have seen that clearly over the years in his provision for us!! So we hope you will join us in claiming this New Year for Christ’s Glory!! We know that this will be different from the last 2 years, but we are following his lead and that’s just where we need to be!!
T h a n k s for p r a y I n g!!! We have lots of opportunities for you to get involved!! There is nothing to small you can do if you want to come to serve with us!! Febrary 11th-We will be going to the House of Prayer in High Point. We always provide a meal for the guys, a time of worship and fellowship, and offer a chance to pray with them . You can help in these areas!! You will not regret coming out and sharing with these men! February 25~ We need someone to help run PowerPoint, make coffee and help with snacks. There are other areas available as well. Just let us know if you want to help!!
We would like to thank all of our supporters for their unending encouragement and prayers. We have seen prayers answered and are excited about what God has in store for us. Please continue to join us in prayer in the following areas: *Pray for those who accept Christ at our events, and their families as they learn about Jesus *Unity and strength as we do battle *Leading "one more" person to Christ *Spirit presence at our shows *Our families and extended families *Pray for the Lord to guide us as we seek funding for recovery ministry
