Ministry Partners!
As our family concludes our time in Israel this year, we look forward to returning to the many relationships that we have in the USA and around the world. We anticipate the ministry God has prepared in advance for us to do in Tennessee and other places in the States.
We are excited to see how God is going to continually expand His Kingdom while we are there.
Passover dinners, prayer times, helping people in need, discipling, marriage counseling, and sharing with others about how God has touched our lives are all ways we look forward to being used as clay vessels in the service of the Lord.
We want to challenge each of you in this next season of 2008 to fully embrace all the Lord has planned for you and your families.
During the summer months when churches begin to slow down due to family vacations and cultural norms, let's continue to reach out to a lost and dying world that needs a relationship with Jesus. In your obedience to the voice of the Lord you will find the greatest rewards in serving Him.
"The early church had no church buildings, no Bibles, no automobiles, no planes, no trains, no television, no radio. Yet they turned their world "upside down" for Christ. They instituted a spiritual revolution simply because they were filled with the Spirit." - Billy Graham Unto the Hills
In His Service and for His Glory,
Todd Horton

Spiritual Lifecoaching and Discipleship
"Reaching the World One person at a Time"
Rose and I are currently discipling 5 people who have various spiritual needs. Some of these individuals we have been working with for six months and others have just come on board.
The goal is to challenge each of these indviduals to go to a deeper place with the Lord personally. We have been targeting key words like: perseverance, obedience, and trust. We challenge individuals to use the Word of God as the source to actively fight the adversary. We encourage these individuals to speak the Word of God out so that they can begin to see victory in their daily lives.
We have realized even more that the Mind, Will, or Emotions are the things that seem to keep us from achieving life and life more abundant as God promised in the book of John.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:9-10
Many of our times are on the phone or through email and we look forward to meeting with these individuals in person in the near future. We ask for your prayers as we disciple those who desire a deeper walk with Jesus Christ through the empowering of the Holy Spirit.
