Work While It is Yet Day!

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Can you believe it was a mere eight years ago that we began to break ground for the first building?  And now we have completed three of the five buildings in the vision the Lord gave Aaron on his first trip to Ghana when he was only 16!

Can you believe that in the seven years since the school has opened, we have trained and equipped almost 300 graduates!  The vision was not just about five buildings in the shape of a cross.  Aaron saw people running in to be trained, and running out to spread the Gospel.  And what a first-rate equipping these students are receiving-not only academically, but with all their hands-on ministry.

Can you believe that in the seven years since the school has opened, the students have led almost 22,000 to the Lord and placed them in local churches for discipling?  We work with over 250 pastors to accomplish this!

Can you believe that the school is now extending its evangelism to other nations-last year to the Ivory Coast, and this year to South Africa?  By the way, Pastor Dennis in South Africa is requesting some of our students to intern with him to help him more as they plant a church right next to Bottle Brush!

Can you believe that the work is not done?  Jesus hasn’t come yet, so we must continue to work, “while it is yet day!”.  There are two more buildings to complete, there are many more leaders to equip, and many more souls to lead to the Lord, many more hearts to learn of the love and compassion of Jesus as He touches them and heals them…we must continue until Jesus comes.

We live in a two-fold reality.  We are living in perilous times, but we have a mission from God to accomplish.  We are in the world, and live in the uncertain world-economic system.  However, we are not of the world, and we must continue to do God’s work while it is yet light.  We must work God’s work according to His economic system.  It is challenging mentally and emotionally to step up to a God-sized vision, while knowing that the world financial system is at a very challenging point in time.  The only way we can do the God-sized job is to continue to trust the Lord and His Kingdom promises.  Then we can function through God’s economy to accomplish His purposes in the world’s economy.

We do not want to belabor Scripture that you are already well aware of concerning God’s promises about generous giving.  What we do want to do is encourage you not to be afraid of doing big things when times are tough!  Do not be afraid of continuing to support the Bible College and its work-both the yearly operating expenses and the next building phase.

In the February Harvester, we offered some suggestions for pinching money out of your budget in order to further support this ministry.  We offer these ideas to you again:

We urge you to sacrifice the cost of

  • A food you regularly eat you do not need
  • One night out a month
  • That new CD or book
  • Anything you really don’t need

And donate this money to ETHM

Make an attractive little box and put that money in it and send the money to us every month..

We would also like to urge you to  talk to others about what God is doing in Ghana.  Perhaps they will catch the vision and join us as partners.  You never know until you ask!

Have you ever thought about leaving a legacy? Let your commitment continue beyond you by designating End Time Harvest Ministries as a beneficiary in your will.  That is really laying up your treasure in heaven!
