Rev. Gary Ashcraft / all miracles done by Jesus
The times warrant every effort the ministry can afford the service of the Gospel of Jesus Christ today. We praise our great and wise Heavenly Father for allowing us the privilege of laboring in His harvest fields. Our agenda has demanded us to stay busy laboring in the Gospel. For this we are most thankful, yet there is great personal sacrifice involved. Our time away from family and loved ones often saddens us leaving us feeling pulled in two directions especially now with my dad battling cancer (Please remember him in your prayers). Yet we continue in faith knowing that our time of reunion, as always, will come. Recently, after an extended evangelistic tour, the Lord rewarded my wife and me with a wonderful trip alone, away from everything. Although we talk constantly throughout the day everyday, still we often feel we’re loosing touch. However, as we began to share with one another, really connecting at heart and soul, we began to contemplate the road we’ve traveled (or many roads) over the past 25 years of ministry. And even though those roads have often separated us physically, we both decided we’d do it all over again. When we married 28 years ago we both worked secular jobs. We feel the greatest gift the Lord sent into our union was the call and a place to labor in His field. Nothing else this world could offer could give us the reward of a life fulfilled and the hope of finishing our course when Jesus calls us home. We testify that the Lord has strengthened our love because of our obedience to Him, not the opposite. God has been so good to us, providing everything we’ve ever needed and much more. Our children know the value of service with sacrifice and are not afraid of the unknown for they follow the One Who knows all and leads the way. It would have been impossible to survive spiritually on the path our lives have traveled had it not been for a true and sure call from Him. Who knows, maybe we’ve got another 25 good years in us, if so let it be for Him! What has He called you for my Friend? Go for it…you won’t regret it…and God go with you!!!
