Did you experience firsthand - the impossible surrendering to the power of God? There’s nothing like it! It doesn't guarantee a lifetime of belief- - - look at all the times the people of Israel would walk through the red sea, or follow a pillar of fire, or live off manna from heaven and then return to grumbling and doubt. Many of us would not be Christians if we had not witnessed God in a way that we could not explain without His Grace and power. You are going to have that opportunity in this “Save Our Church” campaign!
For those of you that may not have heard yet- - - we have a balloon payment of 3.8 million dollars due on December 1st (and we are praying for a miracle). God is already answering those prayers. Last week we spontaneously had $35,000 in pledges come in. This Saturday the Esperanza Congregation is holding a yard sale (they may start doing this once a month for a while to help raise money). The Four Winds Native American Congregation gave a very sacrificial gift. People who have not attended our church for years are contacting us and saying that we must save the ministries of Washington Cathedral. The youth have rallied and are writing letters inviting people to church and an internet social networking campaign is happening as thousands around the globe are praying for us and considering if they can give something. People by the hundreds are fasting and praying and many are doing prayer walks around the campus. We met with a very prestigious attorney who deals in these matters and he has informed us that we are in a very strong position because of the value of our property and the fact that we have never been late on a payment. This Sunday the news media is coming to our 11:00 service to interview us regarding the situation (your attendance at this service could be very helpful to our cause!). The world is taking notice that God is doing something very special and important at Washington Cathedral- - - so prepare to be amazed at what God will do!
Please don't gossip- - - call us if you have any questions. If for some reason you don’t agree with us, rather than opposing and promoting division, we ask that you pray for us. We need unity now more than ever.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. God is working - just open your eyes and see it. We are reducing our church indebtedness (and that is a great thing); and as a people revival is taking place that no one could manufacture.
When I was speaking in Miami in January of last year a pastor from Austria had a prophecy for me. He said, “Tim White you are going to have the hardest year of your life this year, but if you are faithful you are going to break through and God is going to bless your ministry beyond what you ever imagined it could be.” When I was in Peru this September, I was praying for people by the hundreds and one man said he did not want my prayers but had a prophecy from his mountain church in Peru for me. He said, “Tim White you are going to have the hardest year of your life this year, but if you are faithful you are going to break through and God is going to bless your ministry beyond what you ever imagined it could be.” When his message was translated by a pastor from Peru I could not believe it- - - it was word-for-word what I had heard in January of the same year- - - and from two parts of the globe! Stand back; do not be afraid- - - God is preparing to do something amazing in our midst!
Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
