Dear friends of Grace Fellowship International,

As the days grow longer and the warmth of spring begins to return, we are reminded of the season of renewal and growth that Jesus continually brings into our lives and ministries. We are grateful to you and for the role you play in the work of GFI.  Because of your generosity and prayerful support, this season has already been incredibly fruitful. Already, we hosted a Spirituotherapy workshop that brought together 16 participants, including several licensed therapists, two associate pastors, and a week full of powerful transformation. It was a rich time of teaching, discussion, and encouragement as people explored what it means to live from the life of Christ rather than striving in their own strength.  It was a blessing to guide them into complete and victorious identity.  It is always encouraging to see pastors, counselors, and ministry leaders discovering the freedom and hope found in the exchanged life.

Recently, I spoke at a Student Ministry DNow event with the theme of “In Christ.”  Over the weekend, we discussed what it means to be in Christ, the flesh, identity, and how to work out our salvation through participating and cooperating with Jesus.  I also spoke the first week of March to over 150 students and leaders on depending on Christ who is in us (Col. 1:27).  God is opening many doors for GFI to minister to teenagers, and later this month, I will be speaking to students again at The King’s Academy, located in Seymour, TN.

This month also includes several more opportunities for continued ministry. Dr. John will be teaching in St. Louis, sharing the message of Christ as our life with a church that has hosted another GFI seminar.  I will be traveling to Lakeland, Florida, speaking at one of our partner churches, Parkway Baptist Church, on the topic of overcoming “selfishness.”

As spring unfolds, we are thankful that God continues to open doors for the victorious life message to reach new people and communities. Your faithful support allows us to train leaders, host workshops, and walk alongside individuals who are longing to experience the abundant life Jesus promised in John 10:10.

Please pray with us as we finish several writing projects.  Dr. John and I are finalizing an updated rewrite of Conquering PTSD.  Liz is editing and working to publish a new counseling book, which is a collection of writings from our Finding Joy seminar.  The e-book form is already on Amazon.  Dr. Scott is also finishing a student edition of the Exchanged Life.  This study will be intended for use in families, churches, Christian schools, and homeschools.

Thank you to our intercessors and givers. We are praying that this season of spring will also be a time of renewal and encouragement for you and your family.

With gratitude,
