Dear Point To Hope Friends,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hard to believe it is December!\u00a0 However, since I am writing to \u201cBelievers\u201d I guess it is no surprise to you!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For some, 2015 has been a year of various storms.\u00a0 Others, you may have had storms, but it was nothing like the storm the year before, and that is something to be grateful for.\u00a0 What ever the weather, spiritually speaking, we know the ONE who calms the sea.\u00a0 Regardless how the waves roar, we know we have a sure place if we stay anchored in the Master.\u00a0 Whether your boat is rocky or smooth \u2026 our \u201cWEATHER MAN\u201d never changes.\u00a0 It is up to us whether we believe or not.\u00a0 What ever storm you faced from January until now \u2026. here\u2019s the good news – if you are reading this, you made it this far!\u00a0 Our God is Holy and worthy of praise all the time!\u00a0 Amen!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On behalf of Point To Hope Ministries, I want to thank you for your diligence to pray for Kingdom purposes and fulfilling His call for this 2015 year.\u00a0 There have been many testimonies of God\u2019s faithfulness, miracles, deliverances, healings.\u00a0 And the greatest of all –\u00a0 those who have said yes to Jesus and their name was written in the Book of Life!\u00a0 You have been an intricate part in the many testimonies.\u00a0 Like modern day \u201cEzras\u201d – beseeching the Lord for safe journeys \u2026.. Knowing His hand will be a shelter of protection against His enemy who seeks to devour His children.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 That we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a safe journey\u2026\u201d (Ezra 8:21b).\u00a0 \u201cThe hand of our God is for good on all who seek Him, and the power of His wrath is against all who forsake Him.\u201d \u00a0So we fasted and implored our God for this, and He listened to our entreaty. (Ez. 8:22b & 23)<\/strong><\/span>
\nPTH has had safe journeys through 2015, not without bumps, but definitely safe and sheltered \u2026 through all kinds of spiritual weather.\u00a0 So, once again, as we move into 2016, the first thing on the schedule is Washington D.C. (last week of December, 2015).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As many of you already know, before Nancy goes into a foreign country for a prayer assignment, the first place the Lord directs her is to the embassy of that country in D.C.\u00a0 It is His way of giving her the spiritual authority for specific countries.\u00a0 It\u2019s not hard to understand this spiritual concept when you read scenarios of biblical battles and the various spiritual strongholds over certain regions (ex: prince of the kingdom of Persia & prince of Greece \/ Dan. 10, etc).\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Having said that, PTH would greatly appreciate your prayer coverage.\u00a0 Like Ezra, we recognize the necessity to seek Him for a safe journey to the embassies knowing the hand of our God is for good on all who seek Him.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On another note for Jan. & Feb.:\u00a0 Nancy will be continuing on to minister in Georgia \/ S. Carolina (with other PTH team members joining her along the way).\u00a0 Again, it is your prayers that open the heavens!\u00a0\u00a0 Also, the first 2016 PTH Holy Spirit Encounter Conference will begin Thursday (7 PM), January 21-23, 2016, at Grace Place Farm & Lodge (1422 Reynolds Farm Rd., Grovetown, GA 30813). See the website for more conference \/ ministry details:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0www.pointtohope.org\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Holy Spirit Encounter theme:\u00a0 \u201cNow Set Your Hearts on the Kingdom of Heaven \u2026 Maturing in His Love<\/span>.\u201d.\u00a0 Also, more events \/ meetings will be added to the PTH\u00a0 \u201cevent calendar\u201d once finalized \u2026. so stay tuned!\u00a0 PTH cherishes your prayers!\u00a0 They are powerful, effective, and most appreciated. \u2026 \u201cHe listened to our entreaty.\u201d (Ez. 8:23b)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings and Merry Christmas to all as we celebrate the birth of King of kings! \u2026 A daily celebration!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/strong><\/span>
\nSarah Tarter,<\/strong><\/span>
\nPTH Prayer Facilitator<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
