In His Service... Churches reaching out to their community by partnering with fellow believers. Hello Mighty Warrior in the Lord,
I am thrilled to be able to communicate with you. I count it a privilege to take the gospel of Jesus around the world. YOU play a big part in this spiritual war that is upon us. Ephesians 4:12 says “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” The packet we have sent to you has explained who we are and what we are all about. We are looking for churches who want to reach out into their community in His service. Let me briefly explain what God has called us to do. Our television shows reach upwards to almost 20 million households. There is an average of 2.5 people to a household. That is a whopping 50 million people! If only 3% of these households watch our show, that is still 1.5 million people who get a glimpse of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We can do this in one hour. Technology is truly amazing. In the right hands, television can be used for the glory of God. Our television show has a toll free help line. When these shows air, the phones ring off the hook. Our prayer counselors are bombarded for about 90 minutes. There are a lot of hurting people out there. More than we realize. What goes on over these phone lines will shock you. We minister to thousands of people over these phone lines. We pray for them and they are blessed. Most people never had a complete stranger actually care enough to pray with them. The Holy Spirit travels right thru that line and enters that individual. We are able to reach out to thousands of people. But, the Lord has told me that there is more.
We plant a seed into these people. We hang up and that is the end of it. God strongly convicted me to go a step further. He gave me a vision. It was thousands of churches connected all over the United States. For the longest time I could not understand this vision. How did this play a big part in our ministry? I got confirmation from the person who manages our call center. It was clear as day. As we talked and ministered to each other, the vision drew itself into existence. Let me explain.
A lot of incoming calls are from people who are at the end of their rope. They are frustrated with life. They are not being ministered in their surroundings. Some of these people who call in do not have a church to attend. They receive Jesus and we send them right back into the sinful world. Where is the Discipleship? This is where you come in. Let’s talk. Let me give you an actual example. Linda called in from Mobile, Alabama. Her husband left her 3 years ago. She is mothering 2 children. Her job is depressing her. She has no peace in her life. Her children are rebellious. There is no father figure in their life. Linda poured her heart out to one of our prayer counselors one night. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and has not been to church in years. All that we could do for her is send her a bible. This is a story that happens to us thousands of times. Can we contact you? Would you, or someone in your church, be able to go out into your community and visit this woman or man that are in need? We can send them to you. Matthew 20:28 says: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. I am so thrilled about this open door that God has given us.You gain so much from this opportunity. You can minister to a hurting brother and sister in the Lord. I believe in the statement, “The church should be a house for hurting people.” In today’s world, it truly is. I am hoping and praying that you give this some consideration. God will truly bless you and your church.
May God richly bless you, Jerry E. Jacobs, Jr. Director of Operations, Mark 16 Ministries 717-324-3912 717-755-0108 1-800-552-4546 Benefits of Partnership
