Hello Beloved Readers,
Wow! 2010 is over! What a year for all of us. There were times of great, great blessing and times of great trials and persecutions, but through Christ alone we stand. I am sure all of you had times last year that caused you great sufferings and tears, but always remember what is sown in tears will later be reaped with joy.
I can't write in one blog all God did through all your love, prayers and support for us in 2010. But I assure you hundreds of churches, ministries and 1000's of people's live have been changed by our Lord Jesus Christ this year. Many were healed spiritually, physically and emotionally. Many were led back to the Lord like the prodigal son. Many new souls came into the Kingdom of God because of your love and generosity.
Many missionaries and ministries ask you to join and partner with them and all of them are fighting for support to do the work of God, but for us we are looking for something more. We are looking for you.
God has made each one of you so special and unique and with a divine purpose for your life! You may never go to Africa, but your hands may touch your next door neighbors child with the Love of God. Maybe a co-worker, family member, or a homeless person was God's harvest field for you.
It breaks my heart when I hear believer's say, " I am nothing special and don't have much to give." What a lie from the pit of hell. God made us unique and beautiful in His own way. You may not preach, but you may be able to help an elderly person with shoveling snow. You may not travel across the country, but across town to minister to the woman next to you at your son's football game who is getting a divorce.
Paul writes to us, We are one Body of Christ. Each part special and needing the other to live. The eye can not say to the foot, I have no need of you, or the ear to the eye, I have no need of you. But God has arranged the Body parts as He wills so their would be no division. Each part supplying what the other part needs. Isn't that beautiful beloved?
Beloved ones, I could never see myself as a missionary growing up or even as a restaurant manager, even when I was a Pastor. God sent prophetic ministers to me and they began to speak about my life in ways I never thought possible like going to nations.
In one meeting I preached at in Philadelphia, a women stood up and spoke in tongues over me for 10 minutes and then another woman stood up and interpreted that message from God. She said, "God is giving you a jet, you are going to nations. She said, " you need 2.7 million dollars and so much more. I laughed like Sarah did when she found out she was going to have a baby.
I said, "Lord I am a Pastor! I don't need a jet, and I surely don't need that kind of money. I never saw what God had in store for my life. 20 years later, here I am on the mission field and beloved, I need a jet badly or someone to donate a jet for our use in the nations (Pilot and fuel too!) Today in 2011, I can see why I would need that type of money.
I would need that not to build a bigger ministry or buildings, but the cry from the nations breaks my hearts. The families in India, the Pastors who are struggling to feed their families. The Pastor who need supplies to build churches for their people and homes for the orphans. The Pastor's right here in our own nation who lost jobs and had no food, or money to pay their bills that God told me take all the money I had and give it to them not knowing any of that.
The New churches being birthed in India, Nepal, Central Africa, South Africa, the Philippines. My heart aches beloved for these Pastors, churches and ministries. Even the Pastors and Minister's in Tucson that need help for their rent, or ministries that would close without a helping hand!
I never thought God would ever allow us to touch so many people, lives and ministries as He did in 2010 and this we did together! So don't say that God hasn't made you special. Every time you responded to my pesty newsletters, emails or blogs you used your uniqueness in God. Every time you prayed for us, God supplied this joint with life. Every dollar you sowed we united together in God's purpose.
One of the greatest blessings this year was God adding numbers to our ranks. Yes, in cities God sent us to, there were families, individuals who answered God's call to come and go to cities and nations with us. People who may never thought God would ever send them across country and now to nations have joined hands with us and us with them. This is a great fruit God produced, because the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few.
Some joined us in 2010 to help us with the Encounter God radio program now heard on 13 stations and across the USA and possibly heard on i-tunes by 19,000 people. Some could be double hits and we don't know how long they listened, but for whatever time they heard the Word of God.
God gave us our new world headquarters and 4000 square feet for a miracle price by someone hearing that program. A life was saved from suicide, another was about to totally give up but they saw our Encounter God program on the website.
A woman was healed by watching on the web one of our conference gatherings of belivers.God doesn't need big things, but fishes and loaves he can multiply and feed the nations. You beloved are those fishes and loaves God's need today to bless and multiply. All this because someone like you made a difference by prayer, love, coming with us or sending your finances.
Because of God and your obedinece, an apostle in Africa wants to brings hundreds of churches to join with Flame of Fire Ministries, A Pastor in the Philippines as well wants us to come and minister to His nation. And a young Apostle in India with over 25 churches under His care, and 60 Pastor's he oversees we have joined with at Flame of Fire to reach the whole nation of India. He is begging us to come there and minister the Fire of God to that nation. Will you come with us?
Beloved, 2011 is your year to do things you have never done before in Christ. It is your year to take a leap of faith. Yes, you can go to cities and minister the love of God. You can go to nations and do the same thing. You can offer your gifts and talents to the Lord and help us get equipment we need desperately, or help us find laborers to join this love work of God. You can invite people over your home to disciple them to grow in the Lord by using one of archived radio programs for free, or our video blog teachings, or past written blogs as well!
Don't settle! Beloved Readers, don't settle for the crumbs from the Master's table, but dig into the meat of God's heart. Will you join us this year? Will you let us join you, your church and ministry in what you are doing, Pastor, and Ministry Leaders? Can we join with you to pray for your ministry or church? Can we send laborers to help? Can we help in other ways as well. You are our family! But!!!! We are yours too!
Pastor's ,let us come and share our hearts with you! Let us come and share on effective prayer and access way prayer seminars. Let us come and help bring unity to the Body of Christ with you. Let us come and help raise up more prophetic missionaries, prayer warriors, Pastors, and 5 fold Ministers with you. Let us come and set the young people on fire as God did all last year throughout the nation through this love work of God! Read the newsletters on the website and the testimonies, we are part of your family and you are part of ours! We can do this together!
You could even as an individual, church or Business join us and go with us to the nations. How would God change your life and ministry if you were to come on a mission trip with us? If you could't go, how about supporting us as missionaries in prayer and send your financial gifts for us to go too.
Beloved, WE NEED ONE ANOTHER! We were never supposed to be individuals in Christ alone, but we are to be the BODY OF CHRIST! Will you join us in 2011? Will you become part of the Flame of Fire family? How can we serve you and help you in your calling as well or your church vision for your city? Let's do it together. We all are unique, special and of the greatest importance to God. Perhaps you would sponsor a radio program in one of our markets for a month, 6 months or a year so people could learn real practical Christianity? These programs are so different than normal Christian programming, they are life changing!
So will you step up and answer the call? Will you join Flame of Fire family in 2011? You don't have to leave your church, lose your vision, but together in God's purpose, we gain strength from the love we are to have one for the other. If you are interested in joining with us, or Pastor's if you would like us to come to your city or nation, please write me at henry@iamtucson.org.
If God is touching you write now to help us with equipment, or you want to join as a prayer warrior, or go on a mission trip write to me as well at henry@iamtucson.org. If you want to be a financial blessing to Flame of Fire go to the website at www.flameoffire2007.org and go to the support link and in the middle of the page click on the Pay Pal link and you can use your ATM Debit card of Credit Card and sow a wonderful gift to continue this work.
My last appeal is to those who would want to join Donna and I and be one of our personal champions and help us find the resources, people and finances we need to go to the nations. As Missionaries we raise our own support. We rely on God to touch people's hearts like yours to help Donna and I live, take care of our expenses and go to the nations. When is the last time you sowed a seed of love to a missionary like the Phillipian Church did with Paul? He blessed them and said, "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Glory." You can have that blessing to when you give with a heart of love to the Apostle/ Missionary as they did to Paul!
Our deepest thanks to the precious few who have been faithful to help us in this work over these last 25 years. WE would not have made it without your love, prayers and sacrifices from CT, to Florida, to AZ and all across this nation. THANK YOU SO MUCH for believing in us, and helping us do the will of God!
Beloved, this is our moment in History! You can make a difference in this world by your re dedication of your life to Jesus in 2011. Give Him your life, your hopes and dreams, everything and say, "Lord all that I am, all that I have, and all I will ever be is yours." God bless you beloved, I pray you respond with all your heart.
Your Bond Servant in Christ,
Rev. Henry Falcone
