Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,

This month, I want to share two important calendar events, direct you a free teaching series by Graham Cooke and announce our address change.

Firstly, a reminder of our worship gathering at the River this Sunday, April 26 at 6 p.m. at our normal meeting place at the Troutdale Community Center.  Secondly, we will host a fourth a regional rendezvous of intercessors, prophetic people and worshipers Sunday, May 31 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. (the LAST SUNDAYS in April and May) For more information visit: May Rendezvous
 
Most of us have experienced the challenge of a declining global economy.  Some have experienced  job loss and pay cuts.  As I have traveled in seven different countries over the last six month's, I've seen firsthand the challenge many ministries and churches are facing in this difficult economic climate.  Yet I have felt, even as the economic news gets worse and worse, than the Lord is challenging the church to rise above this negative thinking... it could be our finest hour.  Recently, I came across Graham's teaching on this very subject.  Graham says:

This month, I am pleased to share with you my new Recession Buster series of MP3s. I recently recorded the series and felt compelled to give it away, distributing it as widely as possible. You can click this link: Graham Teaching Please consider passing the web page on to those you know who may benefit from it. We live in overwhelmingly negative times, and we need God's power and positivity to change the tide.

Finally, for the past 8 years, Carlene and I have served in a Teaching/Worship
Ministry among the body of Christ, both locally and internationally. 
If as you pray the Lord encourages you to believe Pacificministries is
worthy of your support and prayers then we trust it will be His kingdom
you are supporting, and not ours. If He leads you to support this
ministry we firmly believe your gifts of assistance will result in
glory to His name.

Because biblically there is no justification for the concept of a hired professional clergy, we make no attempt to pressure the body for anything that looks like that type of thing. As ones called, per 1 Corinthians 9: to establish and strengthen the body of Christ globally, and Galatians 6 : to teach the body of Christ principles for walking successfully with the Lord, we are very appreciative of the financial assistance from those who believe the Lord is leading them to contribute to Pacificministries expenses.  Your giving will be used to cover general living expenses, airfares, general ministry expenses, and monies spent to support the ministries and needs of others in the body. It is our desire to encourage a purification of the use of ministry monies in the body of Christ.

For purposes of encouraging integrity in the ministry, and towards financial accountability, we have a council who help us oversee all the monies received into this ministry.  We do not support any form of extravagance or wealth making from ministry monies.  We believe in living a moderate lifestyle.

We bless you in this season of the Kingdom's finest hour!

Darrell and Carlene
