First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to look into some of the new things we have available through our ministry. Please read on for more details, and call us at (503) 626-0101 or email at info@heartoftheword.org if you would like any further information.
ISRAEL FOCUSED BIBLE STUDY:
Starting on Tuesday, April 3rd, at 7:00pm, and continuing every other Tuesday through the end of May, we will be having our first ever Bible study! The study will follow along the Biblical history of Israel, highlighting key events through intense study of the Word as well through other supporting archaeological and literary sources.
The study will be led by Pastor George Dikeman... Pastor George accompanied Pastor Ron on all of his Israel trips, and has also accompanied Compassion Ministries on ours. In fact he has been nearly 20 times! His wealth of knowledge is amazing, and the Word will come alive through practical applications he can bring based on his lifetime of experience.
And, the study will culminate in a special Middle Eastern dinner!
Also, this is NOT officially decided yet, but we are prayerfully considering a trip to the Holy Land in June of 2013. We would highly encourage anyone who might be interested in that trip to consider attending the study... it will give you an amazing amount of foundational material for the trip, and in fact will dovetail into the pre-trip meetings which will potentially begin in June.
So if you're interested in being a part of the study, or just want more information, please call us at (503) 626-0101, or write at info@heartoftheword.org. The cost of the study will be $40, and this will cover all five classes, materials and handouts, as well as the price of the "sixth class" which will be the dinner - something I am already looking forward to!
PRAYER CHAIN:
We are finally implmenting something we have wanted to do for a LONG time - a prayer chain. On the one hand, we have had many people call and ask us to partner with them in prayer. And on the other, we have many people who call, and say, "how can I be a part of this ministry?" Well now there is something for both of these groups!
So if you have a prayer request, please call us at (503) 626-0101, or write us at info@heartoftheword.org, and we will pass it along to our little group of prayer warriors. And please, only include information you are comfortable being made public.
Also, if you want to be a part of the prayer chain mailing list, please call or write us at the same address. Please note, however, that unfortunately, this is an email only list - you must provide us with an email address. We have a volunteer coordinating this, and out of respect for their time, prayer requests will be sent to the prayer chain by email only, not by phone.
Thank you again SO much for considering these two new facets of Compassion Ministries. Lord bless, we love you all!
In His Strong Name,
Ron Mehl Jr
Director, Compassion Ministries / Heart of the Word Radio
