Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord:

A good many of our students have finished the BASIC course of instruction and some of them want to begin “moving around” in those localities they reside so as to make contact with others who have expressed an interest in the message of ANTIPAS. Sadly, however, many of those who are so burdened lack transportation. It’s no coincidence that the Apostle Paul said:

“For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

“And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

“That no flesh should glory in his presence.” (1 Cor. 1:29)

As a result, I would like to ask any of our subscribers who might have a car they no longer really need – but one that is still in good working condition – if you wouldn’t consider donating that car to the ministry so that we might it to one of these “soldiers of the ministry.” At the moment we need two cars.

Please email S.R. Shearer about donating a car or RV.

In addition, there are some who have completed the course and are willing to travel on a more extensive basis - that is to say, beyond their immediate localities, and they need a motor home in order to do so. I have a feeling that there are many of you who might have motor homes that are in good working condition – motor homes you are not really using anymore; if so, please pray about giving them to the ministry.

Believe me when I say, these vehicles will be put to good use – and those who give them will be put in DIRECT contact with those who will be using them for the sake of the ministry so that they can participate with them as they spread the “Gospel of the Kingdom” and help to establish “BASIC CHURCH COMMUNITIES.”

Finally, there are many who need financial help from the ministry; I think especially of one dear brother in Ghana; he is a dedicated worker in the ministry – but he has no source of income, and no way of getting around with the message of Antipas.  You can help him either by giving directly to the ministry, or we will put you DIRECTLY in touch with him.  He really needs your help. 

Additionally, the ministry itself is in need of continuing and REGULAR support as it continues to grow. Remember the words of Paul:

"IF WE HAVE SOWN UNTO YOU SPIRITUAL THINGS, IS IT A GREAT THING IF WE SHALL REAP YOUR CARNAL (MATERIAL) THINGS?" (1 Cor. 9:11)

God bless you all.
