Greetings from Nashville!
Rose and I are excited to report that we are blessed by the Lord in the midst of walking in the fellowship of His sufferings. Yesterday, on Pentecost Sunday, I heard an inspiring and encouraging message about the Fellowship of Christ's Sufferings from Phillippians 1:29. I was also encouraged by Romans 5:3 - 4, knowing there are many of us that may be going through unexplainable trials. I am glad to report that He hears us when we call and cry out. I believe, as I heard yesterday, "The blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Church." I also believe, according to Romans 12:1, that we need to be a Living Sacrifice unto the Lord. It is my prayer that this newsletter will encourage you in the ways God is working in our Family and Ministry to reach the world for Christ by being a family and ministry that "lives for others with the Gospel of Christ."
Shalom,
Todd & Rose Horton

Ministry Initiative Updates
Opportunities and Vision for Summer/Fall 2009
The Missions/Evangelism initiative:
We have been invited to both Nairobi, Kenya, Africa and Anuru, Pydikonda, India to come and share the message of Israel. They have asked us to come preach in a crusade format which includes preaching and a pastoral training time. We have been invited to help with an orphanage in India in addition to the Crusade preaching. We have been hearing and reading reports of how the Holy Spirit is moving powerfully in Salvation to these two people groups. We are working towards an anticipated travel date for these two trips this fall. If you would like to be a part of either of these opportunities you can contact me at todd@tbgrace.org.
We are currently needing assistance financially underwriting these two crusades. We will be assisting in other tangible ways as we get closer to the travel dates.

Financial Support:
We thank the Lord for the provision during our critical hour of need. As we continue to press forward, operational needs occur monthly (lights, gas in the car, car insurance, mortgage etc...). We would like to see an increase in our monthly supporters. As you seek the Lord, ask Him if there is anything you can do. Sponsor a fundraiser, a monthly donation, sharing what we do with others who might be interested in supporting or inviting us to speak at a group function. The Lord is good to ALL who trust Him. May we all experience a new level and relationship with Him as we trust Him with everything He has given. Visit our website support page to learn how you can support our ministry work one time or monthly. http://www.tbgrace.org/support.html.
