Momentum is building! Anticipation is growing! What for? For the “Best Dressed 50 Fest.” This is the name for the crusade event in Jamaica April 25-May 4th, as we partner with the 50th Anniversary of Jamaica Broilers (“Best Dressed Chicken”). We have filled all of our available ministry teams; 260 people from five churches and four states, and even an international participant, will be ministering with us. We know there are going to be many stories of lives transformed through these ministry teams.

In February we began sharing plans for discipleship and follow-up efforts with all of the churches in Montego Bay. We are giving the pastors the opportunity to rally their congregations with the message of A.R.M.Y. We are also recruiting volunteers from the A.R.M.Y. sessions to be ushers, prayer workers, and altar call attendants. We believe we need approximately 800 volunteers to effectively minister to all who will attend the main event May 2-3.

On February 15, 2008, Miles had the opportunity to speak at a youth conference in Belize. This was the second time that Miles has been to Belize. Young people drove for as long as three hours to be a part of this conference. Several hundred teenagers heard a very clear gospel message, and many made decisions for Christ.

While in Belize, Miles Ahead also launched plans to partner with the churches of Belize with a pastors' conference on June 13 and 14, 2008. We are very excited to be able to help train, equip and empower leaders in the work of evangelism. Pray for the relationships we are forging. God wants to do a special work in this nation.

With all that the Lord is doing in our ministry we have decided to hold our Annual Gala and Golf Tournament on September 22-23. Please mark your calendars now. This is a date change from June.

 

Our relationship with Trinidad and Tobago is starting to be formed. Miles has been invited to speak with more than 100 pastors and leaders April 25-27 in Trinidad. We believe this will set the stage and possibly open the doors for a crusade event sometime in 2009.

We are still in dialogue with pastors and leaders in Wichita, Kansas. We expect to be able to announce dates for 2009 in the near future. Watch for these dates soon in future Chronicles.

As you can see, we have some great ministry opportunities ahead of us. We also have some very significant financial needs in the month of March and April, when 75 percent of all the Jamaica crusade expenses will occur. Please consider with your prayers this month a special financial gift to help us with the expenses involved. We are on our knees praying and trusting for the Lord’s provision. We need your help today!
