Merry, Merry Christmas to you and yours!

This special season to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is such a wonderful, happy, and refreshing respite from the mess we have been dealing with this year. The joy that Christmas brings is without compare, knowing that God loved this world, in all its craziness, enough to send Jesus to save us!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Our prayer for you this Christmas is that you will experience His wonderful presence, His mighty joy, His everlasting love, and His perfect peace! And may we all remember to be His light shining in the darkness to all those around us so that they might experience His goodness as well.

We love you and thank God for you! May blessing upon blessing be yours this holiday (Holy Day) season and in the coming year!

Blessings & peace to you in the mighty name of Jesus!

What a day we are living in! Confusion, chaos, and strife on every side. We should not be surprised because Jesus told us this would happen in the last days. But more importantly He told us how to overcome this world just as He has! He said in John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” We want to encourage you to get into the Word of God and read “these things” He has spoken to us that will bring us peace. He has not left us alone but has given us His Word and His Holy Spirit to teach us, lead us and comfort us.

In John 18:36 Jesus said, “My Kingdom is not of this world” and Romans 14:17 tells us that the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit! In the midst of everything that is happening in this world, let us live in the Kingdom of God: let’s live in righteousness, let’s live in peace, let’s live in joy, let’s live in the Holy Spirit! And let us take this wonderful time of the year and remember to give thanks for what He has blessed us with!

We love you and we are thankful for you! We are praying for you every day!

Hello friends, family, and partners!

We pray that all is well with you and yours and that you are staying more closely connected to the Lord by His Holy Spirit than ever before!

We are living in perilous times and our country is at a crossroads. There is such urgency in the spirit to pray and seek the face and the will of God. There is a spiritual battle going on in the heavenly realms and we need to do as the Israelites did in 2 Chronicles 20:15-23. “This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow march down against them. You will not have to fight this battle… Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you... Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’ Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord. Then some … stood up and praised the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice. As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated… [and] they helped to destroy one another.”

We hear people say, “God is in control” but in every circumstance that God gives the victory, there is a vital part that His people have in it, as in the previous passage. Even Jesus said in Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

It is our responsibility as Christians to pray, stand firm, sing, praise and worship until we see the victory and to be led by the Spirit in our everyday lives. And as election day draws near it is also our responsibility as Americans to pray and vote and make our voices heard so that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven! His will is life, liberty, peace, morality, and free will! Let’s be the hands and voice of God in our great nation so that we can truly say we are “One Nation Under God” again! We love you and appreciate you! We are praying for you every day!

Greetings in the timeless name of Jesus, our eternal and everlasting Lord and Savior!
Timelessness is hard to understand for those of us living in a world that revolves around time. Everywhere we look there is a clock or a calendar. It is hard to function in our finite world without a timepiece.

My daddy used to sing a song that said, “Time changes everything.” When we were younger, we never quite understood it. But now that we are older, we find ourselves singing that old song because it is true! Nothing stays the same…. except God. He is the same yesterday, today and forever!

During these uncertain times there is one thing that is certain, Jesus is Lord! Let us say as David said in Psalm 31:14-15 “But I trust in you, LORD; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands;”

Trust in the Lord, fear not, and be at peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” As we walk with the Lord and put our trust in Him, others will see and desire to know the timeless God we know and come to know Him as well. Then we will see a mighty harvest of souls before the Lord’s return! Isn’t that what it is all about? Our time on this earth is but a vapor and we need to make the most of it by making sure we live to advance the Kingdom of God!

We love you and thank God that you are a part of our lives during these times!

Love,
Terrell & Beverly Glaze

Greetings in the faithful name of Jesus! Isn’t it wonderful to know that in these unusual and uncertain times that we serve a God Who is Faithful & True? Even though the times, they are a changing, our God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever! His Word is true, His promises are true, His love is true. We can trust Him no matter what is going on around us.

Our precious Honduran brothers and sisters found this out firsthand last month when a friend and partner of ours sent her tip money to help Pastors Luis and Mayra Sorto and Love Without Boundaries Ministries in Zambrano. And because of all our faithful partners we were able to add to her trip money to help out. We received a wonderful praise report from Pastor Luis reporting that they were able to bag up enough food to give to every home in two different neighborhoods in Zambrano as well as four mountain villages. Pastor Luis said that some people wept when they were given a bag of food. One lady said, “We did not know what we were going to eat tomorrow and next week, but we thank God you came to give food…” As they went through the villages, they were able to preach a message of encouragement and hope through a loud speaker mounted on the vehicle! (Please go on our Facebook page or our website to view the wonderful pictures he sent us.)

Oh partners, what a blessing it is to be a blessing! Thank you, thank you for your friendship and partnership to help us continue in this ministry that God has called us to. We have only been able to travel out to minister one time since March and we have another opportunity this month. But we have looked for other opportunities right here at home to be a blessing to those around us. And isn’t that what ministry is? Simply being a blessing where we are at!

We love you and thank God for you and we are praying for you that you may “prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.” I John 1:2 You are special to us!

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus! This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it! We pray that you had a glorious Independence Day and remembered to celebrate our Spiritual Independence from the darkness of this present age as well as our Country’s Independence. It is so wonderful to know that the Lord has set us free from sin, sickness and death so we can walk in the light of His calling!

The enemy of our souls is still trying to defeat us in any way he can and it is with great disappointment that many dates have cancelled this year, including our upcoming trip to Honduras as well as our Ohio and Massachusetts services.

We received a message from our dear friend and representative in Honduras, Luis Sorto, who informed us they are still in lock down, the hospitals have collapsed nationwide, and there are people with Covid19 symptoms who do not want to be tested because they will be stigmatized by their communities in such a way that even the Grocery Store owners do not want to serve them!

Friends, please be in agreement with us that NO weapon formed against us, the American Church and our Latin American brothers and sisters, will prosper! We need to rise up as ONE MIGHTY PRAYER FORCE daily taking back what the enemy has stolen, pleading the blood of Jesus, and standing our ground on that which God has given us! “Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:36

We love you and we appreciate you more than you will ever know! We pray the Lord will continue to bless you exceeding, abundantly above aaaallllllll you can ask or think according to the power (HIS power) that works within you!

Joy & peace to you in the awesome name of Jesus! In John 14:27 Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

If there are two things this world needs today, they are JOY & PEACE! Friends, as Believers and followers of Jesus we have that joy & peace living in us by His Holy Spirit who dwells in us! And it is our responsibility to remain calm, peaceful and full of joy in the midst of the storm so that others may see and desire the life that we have in Jesus! It should be our longing and purpose to live in such a way that souls will be added to His Kingdom daily.

Romans 14:17 tells us what the Kingdom of God is, “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” As we go about our daily lives it is our prayer that we aaaaallll will walk in God’s fullness knowing His righteousness (right way of doing things), peace & joy that is only found in HIM.
We love you and we are praying for you every day! Please send us your prayer requests so we can know how to pray specifically for you, and your praise reports so we can rejoice with you in the goodness of God!

Grace & peace to you in the awesome name of Jesus! This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Sometimes in the midst of trials and tribulations it can be hard to rejoice and be glad. But we can do aaaaalllll things through Christ who gives us the strength!

The past couple of months have proven that! First with the passing of our dear friend and co-laborer, Mark Clark, who had a sudden heart attack just days before he was to take a team to Honduras from his church. He has accompanied us on more than 15 trips to Honduras and raised thousands of dollars to help feed the hungry. He had such a heart for the little children and was known to them as Papa Marcos. He will be so greatly missed!

And second, with the whole Coronavirus pandemic, which has caused fear, anxiety and worry among so many. But as children of the Most High God we have His promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind (one that is renewed by the Word of God and which trusts in Him).

Our prayer for you is that, in the midst of tragedy, you have that peace that passes understanding, the hope that our faith is built upon, and the joy of the Lord which is our strength!

We love you and appreciate you, and we know that the God of the universe has you in the palm of His hand! We send you love and HUGS in Jesus’ name!

Good morning friends! The past few weeks we have been reading and watching and listening and praying. There is much speculation about this time we are walking through. Is this from God, is this political, is this a plague, is this true or false?

Do we really know? We can't answer those questions but one thing we do know is that God's Word is true and He is faithful. And His Word says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

I know that sometimes our computers and phones need a reboot. Our appliances sometimes need a reset. And there are times that children need a time out. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord and embrace this time to trust and rest in Him. We will continue to spend time with Him, in His Word and in prayer.

And here's a little tip: don't treat God's Word and His presence like toilet paper or hand sanitizer, only stocking up in time of crises! Make use of it daily and when crises comes you will have all that you need! His peace, His joy, His love, His provision, His protection. His presence!

With sadness we have had to cancel our April trip to Honduras but many who were going in April will be able to go in July, hallelujah! Also, we will be able to put the April funding towards the activities we have planned in July, making it even more successful with more food to give away and more buses to rent to bring people to the crusade! It will be glorious!

Thank you, thank you for your prayers and support during this challenging time! We love you and appreciate you! You are in our prayers daily!

Greetings on this beautiful day that the Lord has made! Spring is in the air and we are looking forward to warmer weather, beautiful blooming flowers, leaves on the trees and all the new signs of life that come with Springtime. Yes, we may still have some storms and even snow, but the HOPE of Spring will see us through those intermittent storms!

In our lives, we do the same thing! We hold on to HOPE! If faith is the substance of things hoped for then hope is very important. “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” Romans 15:4 “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5

Hope is not wishing! Hope is believing that God’s Word is true and having eager expectation that it is coming to pass in your life! Hallelujah! Just like we know that those flowers are going to bloom and those trees are going to leaf, we know that God’s Word is true. It is alive and active, working in our lives as we continue in Him. Don’t give up hope! God is faithful! “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

We love you and we thank God for your friendship, love and partnership with us in ministry!
