“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.” Psalms 127:1
Acts One Eight is building a strategic Web ministry. However, paraphrasing the Psalmist’s words, Unless the Lord builds the eMinistry, we labor in vain who build it. The
Lord is the one who builds this ministry through His people. This is His ministry and not our own. It is dedicated to Him for His use as He wills ... and for His honor and glory alone. Moreover, this ministry cannot
be built unless it is through the prayers, efforts, and provision of the Body ... “being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part”, Ephesians
4:16. To that end, we make our needs known to Him and to His people. Our regular-mail newsletter is for those who are interested in standing with us in prayer and/or financial support. It includes ministry news,
prayer requests, and mention of financial needs. It also includes a unique Bible Bookmark ... each month highlighting important verses, providing useful Bible info, and asking a Search the Scriptures quiz question.
Sorry ... this regular-mail letter is limited to the USA only. Please click here to subscribe. Our needs include: prayer, people, provision, and proliferation.
Prayer. There is need for prayer in expanding the eMinistry ... much need to let our “requests be made known to God”, Philippians 4:6. Faithful praying
saints are needed ... those devoted to prayer as Paul requested, “praying ... for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ ... that I may make it
clear in the way I ought to speak”, Colossians 4:3-4. Prayer is needed for open doors ... and for boldness and clarity in the proclamation of the Word. Prayer is needed for the rapid spreading of the Gospel, 2
Thessalonians 3:1 . Prayer is needed for ministry wisdom, Proverbs 2:6. Prayer is needed that those trained
through the eMinistry may be “filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” and may “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing
fruit in every good work”, Colossians 1:9-10. We need your prayers ... “joining in helping us through your prayers, so that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the favor bestowed on
us through the prayers of many”, 2 Corinthians 1:11.
People. Co-laborers are needed to join with Acts One Eight in prayer, provision, and the proliferation
of the eMinistry. Everyone can help by spreading the word about the many Web sites of our eMinistry. Tell your friends, your Bible study group, your church, your Sunday School class, your prayer group,
your Christian organization, missionaries you know, anyone, and everyone. Use the eMinistry resources to grow, to witness, and to make disciples. “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to
send out workers into His harvest", Matthew 9:38.
Provision. Resources are needed to expeditiously expand and sustain the eMinistry. The Internet is
an effective and efficient vehicle for obeying the Great Commission ... online 24/7 to the remotest parts of the earth. All of the sites are free for anyone we can serve. However, the eMinistry does
require significant resources. We need God’s full provision through His people ... people whose hearts and resources are with us in this work. Jesus said, "For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.” Luke 12:34. We need people committed to reaching the vast online population. We need people who will enable the eMinistry through their financial support so that “the grace
which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God”, 2 Corinthians 4:15. If you would like to help, click here ... the support team.
Proliferation. Much of the Internet is English-based ... but much is not. It is our prayer that God will
provide translators and mirror sites in other languages so that more and more people throughout the world can be reached with the Gospel and equipped to be His disciples and witnesses. See our translation policy at Privacy, Policies, & Other Official Stuff.
