Precept News Letter

Apr, 2010

How would you like to be asked the following questions by a young girl at prison after only two 40Minute studies?

What is the first thing I do when I want to give myself to God?
What do I do after that?
How do I stay away from temptations?
How do I deal with criticism?
How do I keep the faith in the Lord when I get out to my family?
How do I know what to do with my faith?
How do I start praying?
I would like to become a missionary. How do I go about it?

 

This was definitely one of my highlights in March. But we were also greatly encouraged at the baptisms of two men who were recently released from prison. PLUS we have just signed the contract for the new Precept office in Manukau for 1 June 2010.

If you took a closer look how these events came about, you’d see many people - including yourselves - praying, leading classes, caring and giving from your heart … achieving what our God desires as the body of Christ!
 
I am rejoicing as we work in the unity He has given us as we
establish people in God’s Word to live as

exemplary followers of Jesus Christ,
studying the Bible inductively,
viewing the world biblically,
making disciples intentionally, and
serving the church faithfully 
      in the power of the Holy Spirit.

 
Thank the Lord for:

-His faithful provision in every way through His people
-Drawing His to study the Word diligently

 
Pray for:

-continual, life-changing impact of Precept Bible studies
-God’s step by step guidance and provision for the move of our office
-someone who knows Php & MySQL development system is and can help us with small changes on our website. 

How will you celebrate Easter? Jesus’ death and resurrection?
There is no better way than passing on this new life to those who are dead in their trespasses and sins!

Happy Easter! - Jesus is ALIVE!

In Him,
Barbara Kipfer
National Coordinator

I was crying to the Lord with my voice,
and He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
Psalm 3:4-5
