May 2006
On Monday, April 24, I walked back into a school
classroom, 6C, at the Albion Primary School
in Montego Bay. I have been there many times this school year. All those
students watch our
Channel 93 daily. This time when I came to class, 26 team members from the
United States
walked in with me from Dixon, IL, Woodbridge, VA and Troy, NC. We presented
a program
to the children with singing, drama and prayer.
When we concluded our presentation, the 45+ class of sixth graders wanted to
share and sing
thanksgiving to the team for coming. I chose to sit with the class and sing
to the team.
down…there are great burdens and joys to carry as we bring in the youth of America to minister in a foreign land…we had just been given approval for the TV transponder to extend our Channel 93 signal more northwest to Lucea…it should expand this summer… I want to make more connections with people to listen to our 24/7 Internet Radio Channel…a new staff member is needed for more TV editing work on our 24/7 Channel 93 in Montego Bay…we should be closing on the fourth property back in Pinehurst in May…there is much to continue… I often ask myself, “Will everything be all right?”…
As I sat down next to my friend Abigail, what she did just took the breath right out of me.
You can see what she did from the picture, above right, on the previous page.
She put her arm around me as she sang!
I was overwhelmed by this kind expression of love.
Abigail reached out.
grade. The Lord reminded me that it is He who holds us, it is He who provides, and God
will take care of this ministry.
Be encouraged: God will take care of you today!
God places His arms around you! You won’t be alone.
Thank you for your love and support. You literally put
your arm around thousands of people each day. Together we are able to take
the message of God’s love to people in this world. I give thanks that during
April our support average increased to 70.5% out of 100% (of our total
monthly budget). Thank you for making a difference. We have great faith and
are working toward the goal for almost nine years of 100% monthly support.
Our online TV programs (www.friendsforevertv.com)
had their highest ratings in March. The 2006 March statistics are on par
with the first couple years average of monthly radio broadcast listenership.
What is interesting, is that we are only doing online TV broadcasting on
Sunday nights, and Mondays!
Today I carry the power of God with a great lifetime reminder that occurred. I will never forget Abigail extending the everlasting arm of the Lord Jesus Christ on April 24.
Best wishes, love, and thank you always,
Rev. Dr. Mark Muirhead
