Ministry Fundraising Efforts

Anticipating the Spring release of our new book, 'Dynamics', I am attempting ongoing marketing efforts for ‘She Shall Stand’ the first published work from Do It For Christ Ministry. Additionally, if I may say so myself ‘She Shall Stand’ is every person’s story. We can each testify to the unending capacity of God’s grace and love! You and I know that but for the grace of God, life would have swallowed you up a long time. The book is a narration of the remarkable, dynamic power of prayer and the tremendous power of Jesus Christ to those who call him Lord. Hallelujah!

All sales proceeds benefit Do It For Christ Ministry’s numerous undertakings. We are looking, shortly, to expand the Radio and Media ministry to additional markets in Africa. As well as establishing the Outreach Branches throughout the regions. Needless to say, Ministry is expensive and needs much support. Hence my plea. Especially to my Liberians (between you and me your know we don’t like to support one another :)-). But please do it for Christ. Africans must take the lead in any efforts that would bring some form of relief to Africans. Kindly purchase a copy for yourself or for your kids, loved ones or a friend. The book also talks extensively about childhood and upbringing the African/Liberian way back in the days. Pass that on to your children. Let them see how you grew up. Share with them the priceless African family values and structure.

The message of Spiritual Rehabilitation in Jesus Christ, and Renewal of the Mindset is serious business—more poignant now than ever before for the African continent. Jesus is the way. Prayer has the answers. If there is no knowledge of Jesus there can be no spiritual rehabilitation for the people. No Jesus, no permanent renewal of mindset. Every African can agree that what the continent desperately needs is that its people renew their thinking; subsequently, behavior patterns will change. Further, if there is no Jesus there can be no complete healing from the traumas of conflicts, chaos and confusion. Whatever the nay arguments to this truth, it is the Word of God that stands.

I believe what the Bible says. That Book has stood the test of time. That Book has the message that transforms the Human heart where the outward deeds of humans originate. I believe the Word of God. For the word of God says, “That one day EVERY knee WILL bow, and EVERY tongue WILL confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD...” The fact of the matter is the world will bow today or the world will bow tomorrow. But one day every single living and dead creature that has ever graced the face of this earth will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. Hallelujah! Every creature in heaven above, on the face of earth, underneath the earth below, will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Now, my friend, do you still believe that any completion can exist without Jesus? Help me spread the JESUS message. That message is the only one that transforms the human mind and heart! We need to get it into the heart so that transformation can happen to the entire person. Help me spread the message of salvation. Help me heal the broken hearts, the broken lives and broken spirits with the fixing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Make a small little (intentional usage, Liberian jargon) contribution today by purchasing our major fundraiser ‘She Shall Stand.’

Excerpt from 'She Shall Stand'

*SHE SHALL STAND 

Author's Note

 I write this book for the sole purpose of sharing my testimony with a waiting world.

Every day mankind waits. We wait for the dawn to break; we wait for dusk to fall. We wait to rise up and begin daily activities; we wait to settle down at the end of each day. In villages, towns, and cities we wait. We awake and wait for something to set our paths in motion.

We wait in hospital rooms for medical results and in schools and classrooms for academic results. We wait for professional results and decisions in offices and municipal places. We wait for deadlines imposed by order and structure in business and commerce. We wait for completion of construction projects; new bridges, new highways, new ramps, new makes and models of automobiles. We wait for necessary adjustments and new inventions and innovations to make everyday living, less complex. We wait for novel technology to handle the ever-increasing demands of a multifunctional growing populace.

The captain waits for the rough sea to calm. The pilot waits for the runway to clear; passengers hold their thoughts as the airplane encounters turbulence. The driver waits in traffic congestions. We wait to arrive at various destinations.

A mother waits for contractions; waits in labor; and waits for promptings during childbirth, after which she is ushered into a lifetime of waiting.

We wait for love, we wait for success; we wait for good news; we wait with bated breath for unpleasant news. People are continuously waiting, life becomes a long journey of "wait—watch and wait—wait and see."

As Jesus tarries, I wait on God to manifest Himself more in my life. I have chosen to tell my testimony. My witness of events in my journey of wait, watch, and see. In this book, I don't promise a philosophical read, an intellectual discourse, scholarly dialogue, or erudite arguments. Instead, I endeavor to share a message of encouragement, inspiration, and motivation.

Until the Lord called me to ministry, I was a private and confidential person who would not easily tell any of her business. The stories of my life were mine—memories, desires, moments, secrets, failures, triumphs, and tragedies. Never in a thousand years would they have been spoken of so candidly before millions. But thanks to Jesus Christ, those events are memorialized in print with the hope that sharing the news of the grace and love of God that shaped my life, refined my existence, gave me purpose and left lasting laughter in my soul may help someone walk and enjoy this Christian journey.

By this approach, I plan to nudge you to release your faith. All of that pent-up assurance needs to burst out and thrust you into living abundantly. A child of God should not waste away in empty existence. There is redemptive hope in Jesus. If God can do so much for one, He can do likewise for another. The way of walking with the Lord is not about rules or rituals; neither is it about perfection. It is not about waiting until we are good, ready, or worthy. No one will ever be worthy before God. Human beings can never near perfection.

We humans were born branded with a sinful nature that makes us do wrong when our intentions are the most honorable. It is easiest to have our way and stray from His truths. It is never about us being good. The human nature is such that we have to strive to do right and depend on His grace to accomplish that. On our best behavior, we are targets for enemy attacks and must be watchful lest we fall into cunning, shrewdly placed traps.

It becomes not about one being faithful, but it is about God being faithful to an unfaithful human being. It's about giving Him first place in one's life and working assiduously to do those things that the Lord has commanded of His children. Slips and slides are forgivable when we catch our bearings and confess to Him, ask the Lord's pardon, and step back into line quickly.

God does not keep a black marker with an endless pad. We never get the exact and deserving punishment. He tempers His justice with His mercy. Nevertheless, intentional slipping and sliding in the faith are not acceptable before God. The Lord does not tolerate sin. Living in sin should never be a way of life. One must not live an uncontrolled sinful lifestyle with intervals of good behavior, bad conduct, good judgment, poor taste. Choose good behavior and good judgment, and walk upright before the Lord. Clean up your heart, that the Lord might have space to dwell. When you carry Him within you twenty-four hours a day, there's a good chance of you staying in check twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Be quick to ask God for forgiveness, and turn away from paths that cause harm. Rarely do unrestrained options bring about disciplined choices. Be a true Christian, not one who is lukewarm or one who palliates sin. Stand on His Word and fall before Him for help. Ask the Lord to pick you up and keep you propped by His grace. Knowing Jesus Christ intimately leads to a life of triumph, including triumph over sinfulness.

The Lord wants us to turn over our lives to Him. He wants to be involved in every little speck of what happens to His children. Asking Him to participate in every aspect of one's life—actions, thoughts, speech, habits, traits of character—can make the difference in whether one's life is meaningful or lacks substance. Pray about every circumstance, whether it is inconceivable or imaginable. Read the Bible or hear the Word of God. Allow the Holy Spirit to direct your path.

I write this book that the person in the remotest village, distant town, or modern city can see that Jesus fits into their life. No matter the level of your faith, God can meet you at that level. When God's people were hungry in the wilderness, He sent manna from heaven for bread; He sent quail for meat. When they were thirsty, He told His servant to tap the rock, and fresh water came out for the people to drink. God knows how to provide for poor and forgotten people.

Hitch onto the Lord right now. Don't wait to become a so-called "good" Christian—if there ever were such a person. There are Christians who have matured more in their faith than others, but there is "none righteous." Even if one thinks their life is soiled and they have done despicable unforgivable things, try Jesus. You will find that there is no one more forgiving and accommodating. He can refurbish and refinish the most decayed person.

When you lose hope and courage and become broken, He accepts you as you are and then renovates you to how He created you. He molds you back into His intended masterpiece. God never makes a mistake. He didn't make one when He created you. He created you a replica of Himself.

I write this book that the person who knows the Lord and has spent a lifetime in service and walking with Him may find encouragement that he or she is on the right path. Do not assume for a second that you will cruise down easy street. If Christ was persecuted when he took on human form and walked this earth, you will be no different. Take heart; despite the many tools and workers the devil employs, your connection to Jesus has made you a powerful explosive. You will destroy every piece of equipment and personnel the enemy sends your way. Hug your troubles, and watch them be squeezed to death in your embrace.

I write this book that the person who thinks the world is pleasurable and turning to Christ will strip the fun out of their world would know that Jesus is a fun-loving Master. When He's first in your life, there is unspeakable joy. Sad stories turn into comic relief, and you end up laughing at things that would have burned you before. You'll smile without hearing a joke. You'll dance with no music playing; you'll run when you're not in a hurry; you'll jog although you're exhausted; you'll walk fast on days when it feels like you're wearing too tight shoes. You'll say yes to His will without a clue how it's going to unfold. You live by faith and thrive by His grace. Try the man Jesus today and sit back for the ride.

When you began dating Jesus, one doesn't return to old lovers anymore –lovers of self, lust, pleasures, greed, emotions, hate, money, fame—whatever else they were. Hideous characteristics are discarded; the old way of loving becomes stale and outdated.

Once you make Jesus your first love, all other is secondary. The first love captures your whole heart. Other good loves may get slices. Even if those get a whole pie, it's the second-best pie. The first love has the real deal and is the true love. True love aims to please. When you experience Jesus, you live to please Him. When you please Jesus, He fills your life with the right kinds of love.

The purpose of this book is to share the news that Jesus Christ is Lord and He is phenomenal—the unsurpassed gift that's been given to mankind—the present of a lifetime. Discover and rediscover Him. Read the pages and fall in love with Jesus.

When you fall in love all over, could you please tell everyone you meet about Him, Jesus Christ, this new number one person in your life?

Award Winning SHE SHALL STAND

By Hortense Duarma Grimes

(A synopsis interspersed with humorous Liberian vernacular)

Be acquainted with memories of growing up in a beautiful place called Liberia. I know you can remember walking Down Waterside holding your Ma or your Grandma handbag. If your childhood was in Cape Palmas like mine, take your mind back to drilling in Flag Day parades. Remember shoe heels going click-clack-click-clack on Maryland Avenue on the way to City Hall for the Christmas season dramas and talent shows. Who could forget all the funerals every day within a particular fishing tribe. Do you remember the two-for-dime-bus coming with the big, fluffy sugary donuts? Recall the beautiful scenery and stately architecture adorning the streets. Think back, to watching sailboats on Lake Shepherd! And the Island up Cape. Cape Palmas was a hidden paradise.

I am sure the Monrovia children, too, can remember Sophie's Ice Cream. What about juicy fried chicken from the Rooster and the occasional Diana Restaurant club sandwiches when you were with your Ma or Pa! Who all can remember playing “Blind Man Can’t See Can’t See; Fire on the Mountain, Run Run Run; Children Children I Call Your Mama Mama I Don’t Care!" You can remember recess period and buying milk candy, coconut candy, ground pea candy and kayenne from the women at the school gate? All of us could agree we were blessed oh! We had a chance to be children.  Quiet, rowdy, shy, frisky, easy, loud, noisy, subdued, hard-head, but just innocent happy-go-lucky children. Not a serious care on our minds!

I know you remember Christmas time and Sanni Klau. Singing and dancing to sounds of Sanni Klau we hah oh we hah we hah. Did you sleep on watch meeting night? I know you remember how your Ma rubbed you down from head to toe in that ashes mixture when you had measles and chicken pox. You can’t tell me you forgot the big pink worm medicine tablet and that horrible-tasting purple syrup. You know when you had cough you drank Liquifruta. What about when they rubbed Mentholatum on your temper and then rubbed you down with alcohol and Vicks and put some Vicks in your nose.

If you grew up in the Settlement, I know you remember sitting around the lantern to tell tales. You got to remember sitting on the reed bench under the moonlight and seeing the man in the moon with his dog by him. I know you were frisky and running around until you fell down and scraped your knee only to have your grandma clean it with alcohol while you screamed. Was I the only one who didn’t get religion the first time on the mourners bench because of playing while the other children were praying Lord Sav me, Lord sav me (Lord Save Me). I know you memorized hundreds of Bible verses, too.

What about the thrills of high school! If you went to Ricks Institute or visited the mission, take your mind back to high school entertainment back in the day! Ricks Mini Olympics (Sports Day). Aaa Yah! Who could forget those hot basketball games! All those boys playing serious basketball high style—Liberia NBA!! The teams in their elements, on Dragon territory. All the girls at their best, looking their best. The in-town children who came on campus and had a blast! I remember the campus was jammed packed.

I know you wrote your own of “Dear Darling quotation, How I love you, quotation” letter. Remember when you used to play records in the tape recorder because, because. Then he played you off and you couldn’t stop singing, “I know I know that I am in Love, … .”  You remember using Bible verses to throw hints? When you were dying behind that person, you couldn’t stop singing, “…Oh my darling knock three times on the ceiling… .”  Eh you boy, I know you got to remember singing, “… be careful how you treat her... She’s my Cream Puff.”

There were the somber moments – where were you on that day? The day the trees bent and the sky turned gray? Thank God for Jesus we can choose to reflect on the glorious parts of that time – God’s magnificent grace. The day time started to stand still and the once Beacon of West Africa began to lose its appeal. Would the Lone Star stand forever? We’ve prayed and hope for chance after chance! God and time will heal the wounds. We onward Christian soldiers must press on.

Can anyone remember looking for job until your “shoe heel ate up.” How many times some people went to get their visa? You couldn’t leave the people Embassy gate! You got your visa now, welcome to the United States! When you started working here which Island were you from? Are you still speaking that same Cerese you learned when you first came? You remember all those jobs you had. JJC just hit the town! How’d you manage to work three part-time jobs? It was that serious. I hope you nah give up one or two of those many jobs! You are getting old now.

So you became a full grown adult. Welcome to Life University Graduate School. You are registered in Grown Up 502 Sections 1, 2 and 3. Classes meet at the same time! Hold on for the blows. One blow after another. Life can poke fun at you to test your endurance. But guess what, as tough as life can be God is forever faithful. As beautiful as living can be ugly things happen in between, here and there. Stay with Jesus. When one asks the Lord to take control He chaperones during the most defenseless periods. Jesus takes over and He does not let you snap. Jesus Christ will strengthen you to carry on. One of my favorite sayings when encouraging people to press on is that, “God will give you the back for the burden.”

Sometimes when serious stuff happens to you one almost wants to forget yourself. And it could be easy to let yourself go. Do not treat yourself poorly. Do not give up. Never, ever! Don’t get weary. Ditch the self-pity. You are a strong, beautiful human being. You are happening. There are a million and one things you could be doing instead of feeling sorry for yourself. There is nothing pathetic about you. You are going to be just fine. Believe that you will be just fine. You will survive and thrive.” The secret is to find Jesus and get to know Him before trouble day come. No boat can sink as long as Jesus Christ is in it. You hold on!

Announcement All Women Out There: Fortify your homes with prayer. Devil the Thief may invade, but he will not take you down. Make prayer the job you were born to do. Leave this eating business sometimes and fast regularly so you can overcome and your life can stay straight. Fasting got power!

Young and old, take the high road. Exemplify good deportment. Do not exhibit behavior that demeans. Keep a straight, level head. Be a Godly woman. Rise up as a man of God. Be a good friend. Make sure you have really good people in your corner, Look out for one another. Genuinely love one another. A good friend is a priceless commodity.

Girls, please do not write off all the guys and talk mean about men in general. One bad apple does not spoil the whole batch, except if one throws the batch away before looking through more carefully. After throwing out the bad apple, sort the batch. You might discover good ones. We all know some women got major issues too now. There is good and bad in both genders. All have to just try and be the best.

To the woman still searching: Wait on the Lord. He will strengthen you to face the pause where you are now. Unless you are being perfectly honest, do not repeat defeated phrases. After a misfortune don’t make proclamations like, “Who? Not meee? I don’t have time, I am an independent woman. What do I need a husband for? I’m never getting married. I don’t need a man. Been there done that got a necklace to prove it.” My dear Sister, the devil is a disaster aid, and he is listening to you. Satan will work overtime to make your life miserable and your wishes seem true. If you know deep down within your desire is for a good husband to enter your life, stop preaching disaster over yourself. When you ask God for a husband He will find one for you. God made you and likewise He has custom made a partner for you. God's own Word says, “It is not good for man to be alone; I will make him a help mate suitable for him.” Speak what you want over your life and watch God match your wish with His desire for you.”

Words inadequately express the repercussions when Satan has been allowed to infiltrate the soul. The devil will cohabit if we leave ourselves open and separated from God. Stay connected to the Father.

To the man who desires to walk with Jesus, you are on the right track. It is okay to be faithful to the Lord. It is okay to be truthful to yourself, and others. It is okay to spend time understanding who God is. It is absolutely okay to pray and read the Bible. It is good to have time for Jesus and follow His way. God has made you after His own image and likeness. Live up to a Godly standard. Yes, real men love Jesus. Real women appreciate God-fearing men. Proudly serve your Maker, it is cool. It will cool your heart.

To the “those people” (men) who like to give the “different people” (women) hard time; your take it easy oh! You know you all are porcupine gut: too bitter to eat too greasy to throw away. All said and done most women still want to be married to your and live happily ever after. Your take time with the Sisters’ feelings. Let God enter your heart and guide your ways. Man your slow down the reckless behavior! Ah, Ah! Let it be so now. Grow up. Old age coming oh. Nobody will pick up your blood pressure medicines and all your other prescriptions from CVS pharmacy when you can no longer drive to go for it yourself.

To that person who is facing hurts, heavy burdens, and has gotten weary and tired, please know this: God is faithful. You are His child and bear His name. The Lord will never let His name be associated with failure. By His grace you will win over the challenges thrown at you. When circumstances threaten to steal your joy and undermine your person, seek the Lord. He will replenish you. Whatever unpleasant situations you find yourself in, dare to rise above it. And overcome. By the grace of God you shall. Rely on Jesus. Jesus walked in human flesh. He knows the trials of life. He has made a way.

I've got to talk about the word we learned in the Western world—that word called “Stress.” That little complaint that was going to stay locked up in your body until you returned to God, stress has magnified it 1000 times. Every day you turn around something new is wrong with somebody. Strange illnesses we have never heard of is common news to us. Some of the names of the diagnosis we who grew up in Africa still cannot pronounce correctly.  Let me caution, many times we bring things on ourselves. We must learn to slow down and go easy. Simplify your life. Leave some of the fights for God to finish.

Sometimes you've got to waive your right so you can be left here. If you must worry over necessities of life, remember God knows how to provide for poor and forgotten people. If God could feed all those people walking around in that huge open area for forty years, what about you! God sent bread and meat and water every day. The people shoes didn’t get worn out. Nobody went to the mall to buy new clothes (no mall was in the wilderness). That means the people wore the same clothes and it didn’t turn to rags. God can meet your needs. Leave the worry business alone little bit. We're all tired going to funeral every Saturday morning, especially for young and middle-aged people. God has promised man an earthly lifetime of three score and ten (that is 70 years), at least. Let us pray and try to reach our promised age. Sickness will come, don’t rush it. It is a natural part of living and aging. Cherish the one life you got here on earth until God says it is over.

All of us trip over getting older. We delay the process as much as we can. Some people become old lady young girl. Others become soul brother in old age. We cannot get used to the fact that however long it takes our bodies must fail us one day. When you start aging go easy on yourself. Take it with a grain of salt. Laugh at the changes. Go out there and find all the fake stuff you can lay your hands on (fake eyebrow, fake nail, Just-for-men, fake eyelashes, anti-aging cream, colorful wigs, HbyO (hair-by-others). These things become yours for cash—you pay for it you own it. Use it freely. Employ all the necessary tools and techniques and keep moving. Do not get too worked up about what has changed about your looks. Sooner or later you will look at your body and wonder whose it is! Concentrate on your soul. Time is passing. Christ is coming soon! Your glorified body will never age. Make sure you are heaven bound.

SHE SHALL STAND Is a book about the tremendous power of Jesus Christ in the life of an ordinary believer. It is a Christian Witness written to inspire people in their daily lives and awaken other Christians. This is a book about the power of prayer. It is about the laughter that comes from a lifetime of clinging to faith and trusting Jesus. Looking back in hindsight to see that God has a plan and a purpose for your life whatever that life may be and however many the turns it may take. SHE SHALL STAND is a testimony of the unending capacity of God’s grace and His love. God can take you from what you cannot see as a beginning place and propel you to a place of rest in Him that no earthly effort can achieve. While you struggle in your life with whatever it is, let God be Lord of everything you do. From where you stand to look you are limited. You cannot see the pattern of the Hand of God right now. God’s grace is matchless. Be assured God is not finished with you yet. God sees beyond where you are today.

You may sometimes think that you have it going on so well. The truth is none of us does. But for the grace the Lord so freely gives we are all basket cases. Sinners desperately in need of help. However your life may appear to you, it is the life God has blessed you with. You owe it to the Lord to make the best of every day of it. You owe it to yourself to not fail you. Royalty is in your DNA because you are the child of The King of Kings, God Almighty! You are all that you have and God has placed His spirit inside you.

I close with words my grandma, Bigma, told me the day I faked that I had got religion on the Mourner’s Bench. She said, “When you finished eating, go right on in that back room and pray for God to forgive you; because I do not believe you got religion today. You played all week, waiting to get religion on the last day so revival wouldn’t close on you. You think I didn’t hear you planning it. You are going right back on the Mourner Bench next year. You will not be baptized because you did not get true religion. You need true religion to carry you through this world.”

My Friend, at the end of the day the resounding message is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Develop a deep personal, intimate relationship with the Lord. You have got one chance to sojourn on earth. Make it a memorable journey. Make the Journey for Christ. Let your living be a good work for Jesus.

“I testify that I find absolutely no fault in GOD.”

My friend, I have shared with you a little synopsis (interspersed with Liberian simple English) from my book, SHE SHALL STAND by Hortense Duarma Grimes.  The purpose is to gently nudge you to release all of that pent-up faith and thrust you into living abundantly. As Jesus tarries, and while you wait, I pray you would give God permission to manage your life.

Secondary, I kindly ask you to purchase a copy of SHE SHALL STAND, and tell others about it. God the Son, Jesus Christ, called me to form Do It For Christ Ministry. Jesus gave me a huge responsibility, a Vision of a monumental nature. If I did not know the mighty power of Almighty God I would be intimidated by that assignment. When you purchase a copy of this book, two-third of the proceeds support the VISION of that ministry. That Vision is: To construct Spiritual Rehabilitation Campuses in the four corners of Africa, the first one being in Liberia West Africa.
I go about in faith, knowing that the God I worship is the creator of the entire universe and HE has ways and means beyond my imagination. When you purchase the book you help to make the vision for Jesus a reality. Jesus does not need our help, but like me, you get a chance to do a teeny tiny deed for the kingdom. You get to say “I contributed to the Vision.” Imagine your reward since you and I know we could never out do God.
Thank you and Blessings to Your household. 

Peace,

Hortense

Abide in Jesus

Do not let your circumstances define you. See yourself as God sees you. A child of the Living God made in His own image and likeness. If that doesn’t make your head big, nothing would.  

Jesus said all power in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. The Word says, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you" (John 15:7 NIV). 

Now, think again of just who you are.

Blessings and Peace,

Hortense

FUNDING THE VISION

ABOUT 'THE VISION

When, miraculously, I stood in the face of the Lord on August 1, 1999, Jesus Christ anointed my head, and said, “… to speak to the hurting people; specifically, people on the continent of Africa; you must share a message of self-rehabilitation and renewal through Jesus Christ.”

Following that divine encounter, Jesus gave me a vision for what Do It For Christ Ministry must achieve: Construct Spiritual Rehabilitation Campuses in the four corners of Africa. The Flagship Campus must be built in Liberia, West Africa. On these campuses, four (4) buildings dedicated to methods of spiritual rehabilitation, will be housed. At each campus God’s “hurting people” would be motivated about the Power of Prayer; Obeying the Word of God; and Guidance by the Holy Spirit.

My life is dedicated to fulfilling God’s calling. I go about this astounding responsibility in faith, knowing full well that the Lord is more than capable to supply the means to achieve the end. We have set a goal for construction to begin in 2014. Initial estimated cost is $15-20M. In God’s divine economy that money is already available. I believe God has partners on earth who will facilitate His Vision. In my humanity I have embarked on fundraising for the task and am taking a Tour Message to the world.

One of our fundraising efforts was the release of She Shall Stand. The book substantiates the message and emblem of the ministry, giving life to the power of self-rehabilitation in Jesus. When you purchase a copy you are making a contribution. The book is available in digital format, including B&N nook and Amazon kindle, for $7.99.  All proceeds from eBook sales go towards the Flagship Campus.

Help me build the campuses for Jesus. Help us establish an environment that rehabilitates lives, restores broken people, and renew mindsets.  (visit http://www.doitforchrist.org/ and read Tour Message.)

Please share this with your friends, family, churches, social groups, philanthropists, Christians, and people who want to make a difference. Share it with the world. Thank you.

God bless you.
