inspire and equip others to become followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, if we

share the gospel across Texas and beyond, for example in Bolivia as this

newsletter demonstrates how your partnership transforms lives for eternity.

The Apostle Paul who was known as a former gang member of a religious group

called the Pharisees, a man who did hard time in Roman prisons could know

peace even in adversity. Paul said, “I have learned to be content in whatever

circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know

how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret

of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I

can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:11-13).

God would give him supernatural strength in his weakness. He explained that his

weakness allowed the Holy Spirit’s power to work through his life: “I will rather

boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Therefore, I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with

persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am

strong” (2 Cor.

12:9-10).

The Lord was the

source for all his

needs. Philippians

4:19 says, “My

God will supply all

your needs

according to His

riches in glory in

Christ Jesus.”

When we fully rely on the Father, He will provide for us.

He could trust in the Lord’s faithfulness. “God is faithful, who will not allow you to

be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the

way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it” (1 Cor. 10:13). Paul had

learned to depend on the Lord to carry him through any trial.

I pray you will choose to see adversity as a bridge to a deeper relationship with

your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you are a believer, the awesome power of

the Holy Spirit can equip and transform you and to carry you through suffering.

Through pain and hardship, He demonstrates how much we need His help. The

bridge of adversity can take you to a place of indescribable intimacy with Jesus

Christ. Thank you for pray for Texas Evangelist as we reach out to those in

adversity and give them the Hope of Glory through the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

TOGETHER WE BRING HOPE TO THE HOPELESS...
