SMASHING PILLARS INTERNATIONAL
Volume 1 / Issue 1
HARD TO BELIEVE 10 MONTHS HAVE PASSED BY... Greetings dear friends. Can you believe 10 months have passed since Smashing Pillars International was birthed into ministry as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization? Although the ministry is 10 months old, I have served in churches and ministries for many years since 1996...almost 20 years. So it is safe to say He will never give up on you! He has a purpose and destiny that He has tailor made only for you to fulfill. I want to encourage you to believe and you will see the Lord work great and mighty things in your life and through your ministry. Amen.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE MINISTRY WITH YOUR FINANCES AND PRAYERS! We have been able to do more than I would have guessed in such a short time. The real blessing has been the abundance the Lord has provided through ministry supporters to touch, save and change lives in prison, through street ministry, home meetings, youth ministry and invitations to speak in churches. You have played an important part of this. There is a move of God happening through the ministry and it is very important to me that you know how much you have been a part of it. To God be all the glory.

Lives are
not only being changed through the prison ministry, but lives are being restored by the love of Jesus Christ and the power of His Word! |
WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE DOING? In a nutshell, we are helping people who have become stuck in life become unstuck. One of the hardest things to overcome in life are traumatic experiences. Severe trauma can keep a person imprisoned in a prison without walls being tormented. Through the Gospel of the Kingdom and the love of Jesus Christ working through the Holy Spirit, many are being set free, healed and starting to believe and dream again. For more information visit our website at www.smashingpillarsinternational.org.
WHERE DOES IT ALL GO? We have been able to do great things financially in the last 10 months. We have supported ministries in Israel on a monthly basis, such as, Shiloh Israel Children's Fund with David Rubin and Heart of G-d Ministries with Richard and Carolyn Hyde. We have also supported monthly the ministry of Reinhard Bonnke, Christ for all Nations. America shall be saved! We partnered with Mark Wood to send financial support to Roshan Jongba in Nepal after the earthquake they recently experienced. They are still rebuilding their village and church, which were all destroyed. We also have also sent financial support to Joshua Martinez and his family in the Dominican Republic. Joshua is a missionary there and is also teaching English in school. He was able to get medical care for his newborn baby, who had developed a bad cough because of the finances we sent him. We are praying to send more support to them. They are out there answering the call and we can help them by providing support they need.

The Lord is also using the ministry to train volunteers to walk in the anointing and gifting they have been given by God. Many are teaching and preaching in the prison, street and home ministries. God is raising an army of prophetic ministers and using them to break the fangs of the wicked and to deliver all who are oppressed of the devil for God is with them.
OUR ONGOING ASSIGNMENT BEGAN IN ISRAEL 2013... In September of 2013, the Lord called me to Israel for the specific purpose of encouraging His people. I had never been to Israel and knew of no one personally that I could go with, but God, through a series of supernatural and divine appointments, set it up for me to go to Israel just 5 months later.

THIS YEAR WE LEAVE SEPTEMBER 23RD AND THE TIME IS FAST APPROACHING TO RETURN TO ZION! While in Israel in 2013, the Lord clearly spoke to me that I would return every year to minister comfort to His people. Has the Lord not watched over His word to perform it? Yes indeed! The Lord has done wonderful things through us in Israel and is going to do greater things with each Feast of Tabernacles.

He and his battalion are being encouraged by the prophetic ministry the Lord is using me to release to them. He said it has boosted their moral up high, high, high to the sky. Only God can do that! |
Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
The total estimated cost of the material and shipping is $9,500.00. We will not be taking t-shirts this year. Let me encourage you to take advantage of this awesome opportunity for you to personally send an encouraging word and anointed gift to the Jewish people and the Holy Land. It is no mystery that we are living in the last days as mentioned in the Bible. We know that Jesus is coming soon. We also know that Israel has many enemies encamped around her, desiring to annihilate her and to wipe her off the map. We know the Lord will not allow this to happen, but will destroy the nations who try to destroy Israel and Jerusalem, the people and the land the Lord loves so dearly. But they need to be encouraged and the Lord has called you and I among many others from around the world to go into the land in the midst of such turmoil and danger to comfort His people. Isaiah 40:1 Comfort, yes, comfort My people! Says your God.

One last thing, please consider supporting Smashing Pillars International as a monthly partner. You would be sowing into a ministry that is very fruitful. Lives are being changed and transformed, even delivered from death...literally. You could not help but to prosper spiritually and physically by supporting the ministry.
John 2:5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
We know that when the wine ran out at the wedding in Cana, Mary the mother of Jesus, told the servants to do whatever He told them to do. When they did as He instructed something supernatural happened...supernatural provision. That's what happened. The plan and vision was more successful than the bridegroom had envisioned. I don't know what vision you have before God, but if it is of God, it is bigger than you and your ability to bring to pass. You may need a supernatural harvest to bring it into manifestation.
When you are believing God for a harvest always ask Him what is the seed you must sow to receive your harvest. I can stand outside and desire apples off an apple tree, but I will never get the apples if I do not first sow the seed into the ground and continue to water it. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever man sows, that will he also reap. Galatians 6:7 NKJV, but read how the NLT says it:
Don't be misled - you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
I only ask that you sincerely ask the Lord if you should give and then whatever He tells you to do, do that. Now receive this blessing:
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
In Christ,
