GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND
 GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST Hello Saints, God’s Grace has miraculously taken us through yet another year!!! Hallelujah. We are now excited to see what He is going to do this new year as we are incorporating a few changes within this ministry. Before I share the changes for 2014, I want to thank Phyllis W., Tom D., Shane B., Carl F., Neil F., Kingsway Church, John C., and Henry H. for donating the funds to purchase the gifts for the 60 children from single parent households that we minister to. We originally had 180 children but a few local area churches took on 120 to help us out to meet the needs. God bless you and thank you so, so much. I only wish you could have all seen the smiles on the faces of these kids, as they got their presents. We also got a small gift for the Moms, and they too had a great big smile on their faces. I’m not sure who was blessed more, them or us. Praise God! Now about the 2014 changes: I am not getting any younger and my health isn’t what it used to be, therefore I will be doing very little traveling, and concentrating more on ministering closer to home and getting more involved with my home church. I am also going to stop sending out e mails to our friends who have requested to be on our mailing list, and instead will update the newsletter more frequently on our website www.tompapania.com so our followers can keep track of what is going on in this ministry. This decision will save us a lot of time and problems of keeping email addresses up to date. My good friend, and brother in Christ, Michael D. has been super instrumental in keeping our website up to date, helping me with the newsletters (all the photos you see are his doing), getting the mailing list sent out, and many more areas I would not be able to handle without his help. He is a blessing sent by God to this ministry and I admire his loyalty and dedication to this ministry and I love him & his family beyond what words alone can describe. Thanks Michael!! I am praying that our economy will have a turn around and be back to a point where jobs are more available, more homes are safe from going into foreclosure, and the homeless population will diminish greatly. It is a big prayer but we serve an even bigger God. Amen!! Our monthly donations are at an all time low but somehow God continues to meet our needs. The sales of my testimony on CD, DVD and book are moving very slowly even though I have reduced the prices once again. I try to make them affordable for everyone. Especially in light of the economy we have been experiencing the last few years. With me planning on traveling much less in 2014, I will need a miracle to make ends meet without the love offerings from the churches where I share my testimony or preach. But Jehovah Jireh is still Jehovah Jireh, and He, and He alone, will meet the needs, according to His riches in glory. Amen & Amen I wish every one of you a very blessed 2014 A fellow bondservant, Tom Papania
