Important

Greetings all,


I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know that the donation links on our website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) is working now. I set it up through Google Checkout. I went with Google because for non-profit organizations they do not charge any fees to process credit cards. Also, Google is probably the most secure out of all the ones I researched.


As you know or may not know, we are taking donations to help get bibles to people who would otherwise not be able to own one. We have been working with a pastor Isaac in Kampala, Uganda. Pastor Isaac has such a wonderful heart, and he is a true servant of God. Pastor Isaac has planted several churches there in Uganda and that is where their main need is. The churches that he has planted are growing daily and they do not have the funds (remember, these people live on less than two dollars a day and less) to purchase the word of God for all the new believers.We have also been contacted by Pastor Canny O. Canice in Gbagada Lagos, Nigeriawho is experiencing the same growth and is in desperate need of bibles as well.

We can purchase bibles for about $2.00 each, so even a small donation will go a long way. The bible says in John 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The bible truly is the word of God... living, breathing, giving life to all who will open their heart. I have talked with Pastor Isaac on the phone, and I can't tell you what it would mean to the people there to have their own bibles.

So take some time to pray about this and see if this is something that the Lord would have you participate in. Anchor Holds ministries

makes all of its financials available up request.

Thank you for taking the time to read this posting. I know how busy everyone is and I truly appreciate it.
May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Thursday Aug 19th 2010

Greetings,

Wow, this has been a very strange week. I really can't put my finger on it. It all started on Monday, we were crazy busy at work and I ended up working most of the day by myself. I worked from 6:30am till almost 7:30 at night. Tuesday I woke up feeling more tired than when I went to bed. With that, I've not felt myself all week really. I truly think its an attack from the dark side. I'm asking for your prayers concerning this attack. The enemy knows when I'm tired and weak that I'm more susceptible to sin. Please keep me in your prayers... I need all the help I can get.

I'll have a couple of good blogs to post over the weekend so check back soon.

May God bless and keep you always,
Tim

Greetings,

I'm not a happy camper today. I woke up at 10:00am this morning. I feel like my heard is in a fog when I sleep in that many hours... and I also feel like I've slept half my day away and I hate that feeling as well. Oh well, must have needed it. So I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee trying to clear my head and get my thoughts straight for the day.

Yesterday was a good day. I got my website (www.anchorholdsministries.org) set up with the html code to accept donations through Google. I still have to verify a couple of things but I'm hoping by tomorrow evening we can start accepting donations. My pastor friend in Uganda is planning a big revival in a near by town in November and we'd like to get him some bibles to pass out before then. Every time we talk that is his biggest request are bibles. There is a bible outreach right there in Uganda that can supply the bibles for about $2.00 each. Isaac (the pastor) is expecting between 1500 and 2000 people there. Please if you can help him out... just $2.00 will by one bible and that one bible could make all the difference to one persons life who would never be able to own a bible any other way than by someones generosity.

It is such a blessing to talk with people who live on less than $2.00 a day. I know at times in our lives because we experience a little money problems that we feel we are broke (speaking to myself as well)... but we have know idea. They rely on God for everything! I have never seen faith before like I do in these people. They literally live on the Word of God. Another thing that will blow you away about them is how happy they are. They laugh with a laugh that comes from deep in their spirit.

Anyway, I've rattled on enough this morning. If you get the chance, pray about helping get some bibles into the hands of Word starving people. If you feel the Spirit wanting you to help, you can email me (tim@anchorholdsministries.org) or visit our website (www.anchorholdsministries.org). On our website you can visit the Ministries page and find out more about Pastor Isaac.

Thank you and may God bless and keep you always,
Tim
P.S. I'm working on starting up a monthly newsletter as well. I'll keep you posted about that as well.

Its up to us

Wrestling with God

Greetings,

Well I’m finally through! I can no longer do it… I can no longer wrestle with God. You see for years now I’ve been on the outside looking in. From the time I was 12 years of age when my friends and I would go see the movie Jesus Christ Superstar, I’ve known what my calling in life was, but thanks to the lie, I’ve followed through with my calling till now. I do have one huge sin that I have to confess to though. You see, for most of my life I have allowed Satan to convince me that I was not good enough to be a pastor/teacher. So I’ve always been on the outside looking in. Even though I know the truth, that Christ paid the price for my sins, I still felt the “not worthy” thing (I know... I know... none of us are worthy). But over the last couple of years, the tugging at my heart, the desires of my heart to serve God have all been magnified 100 times over. The best way to describe the last couple of years has been “I’ve been wrestling with God”. I’ll tell you what; you’ll truly know when you are wrestling with Him… I’ve never been so tired emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. I had to surrender all, He will not stop, and He is relentless in His pursuit. God will never force you to do something, but He is sure to make His will known.

I already have a website (
www.anchorholdsministries.org) from where I share things about Christ and what He expects from us. My site also helps promote other Christian sites and followers of Christ and the ministries they have. After some time of serious prayer I will start a small home bible study group. From there, that is all up to the Lord.

One of the reasons I have been so reluctant all these years is I didn’t think anyone would come to a church that I started. I’ve felt for years now that the true message Christ taught has been watered down. But there is a movement in the Spirit building and more and more people are hungry for the real truth. It is all coming together in God’s timeline.

Please keep me in your prayers and the direction God would have me go. May God bless and keep you always.
Tim
