On Friday nights we have our Gospel Oprey and for the last two weeks we have been blessed to have the Ron and Opal show on our stage. Ron and Opal Erickson gave their testimony and played some classic gospel songs for about 2 hours. We had about 150 in attendance and the spirit was definitely moving.

We are now into the busy season here in Quartzsite. The church is active into our programs that the Lord has us doing. We opened the kitchen on the first of November and God has supplied the needs to cook a hot meal for about 5,000 people in need, to date. We are as usual experiencing an increase in number of needs, we expect it to peak the first of February and then to taper off tell we usually close the kitchen about the end of March.

We are really excided to see the church growing, as Jesus is using it to reveal himself to them. We have seen many soul come to him not only by the worship services and the other services here, but also because of a new thing God lead us to do, we call it The Old Gospel Opry. Every Friday night at 7 pm we host Lou and Jane McCoy and a group of musicians from around the area, come together and lead the people in singing old gospel songs. We are really excided about the response of the number of people increase, and have seen souls come to God with the alter call at the end of the night. As great as the alter calls have been we are also seeing that God is using this to bring new people into the church, and the awareness of what he is doing here.

We are still working on the facilities here at Isaiah. The sanctuary is under construction but the people don’t seem to mind. The staff has been working hard to keep things running and I am so proud of the advances that they have made, God has put together a great team this year.

The next few weeks are the most active part of the season for us and the staff, so please keep them in your prayers. We still have need as expected, but as God leads your heart to pray for us we just ask that you add us to your petitions.

God bless you and prosper everything you put your hands to.

Your servants in Christ

It has been brought to our attention that we are presumed as affiliated with the "Rainbow Family" Let it be known to all who read this that we are in no way affiliated with the "Rainbow Family" or affiliated with any organization with the word "rainbow".

Thank you and god Bless You.

Praise the Lord for He is good and His Mercy endures forever. Hallelujah, it’s time for an update on The Church of the Isaiah 58 Project of AZ.” So much has happened in the past few months that we could write a book.( But GOD ) would be the title. Our church building was locked shut and every building and residence was red tagged by the township of Quartzsite. Through cease and desists orders, none of which were valid, But it would take to long. Buy the book, (Ha, Ha). Lets just say spiritual oppression and attack from principalities and powers and rulers in dark high places. Persecution in my opinion is a good thing. It has caused the churches in Quartzsite to unite as one body in Christ. By prayer ,meeting at 7 am Mon. – Fri. the oppression has lifted, but the unity in prayer continues. Now the town officials are helping this ministry to be as God has planned.

We are so jazzed, the standing and waiting with prayer is almost indescribably difficult to our souls. But obedience is what the Lord wants and because of it, we are blessed by His grace.

It doesn’t matter what we see, feel, or think. what matters is “ what does God say”. If we don’t feel like praying for our enemies and doing good to those who despitefully use us, we can choose not to; thus, no blessing from God, but if we disregard how we feel and think and choose to do what Gods word tells us to do, He will move on our behalf. God takes what the enemy meant for evil and turns it into a blessing, if we are obedient.

Consider this, you know its God when every one benefits, the saved and the unsaved. God is not a respecter of persons; He causes it to rain on the just and the unjust. God loves us all and desires that ALL come to know Him. So as His children how we act and react is a testimony to those who have yet to choose Him. If we cannot be obedient, if we cannot show mercy and grace how or why would God trust us to be ministers of HIS gospel? We need to get IT right and GIT ER DONE! I personally understand more clearly now LUKE 9:23-25 and He was saying to them all, “if anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny Himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his (self) life shall lose it, but whoever loses his (self) life for my sake, he is the one who will save it. For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits Himself ? Obedience is not easy! It goes totally against our human nature that is why God is so happy when we obey Him, He knows that its not easy and it blesses His heart when we obey. SO then He blesses us because He loves us and knows we love Him because we chose to obey Him.

May the Lord bless us all with more of HIM
