7:14 September Newsletter

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 

2 Chronicles 7:14

 

                                                  

Welcome!  God is actively at work behind the scenes, ahead of the scene and in the middle of the scene at 714 Ministries International.  It is our joy to partner with Him to see His Kingdom grow and thrive.  We firmly believe that God is moving and that people are being drawn to Him.  Here is what we have been up to over the last few months:

 

MINISTRY IN ACTION

 

What can I say other than God is good - all the time!  He has certainly shown Himself faithful to the 714 ministry over these last few months.  He has revealed Himself as our provider, Jehovah Jireh. Here is a brief overview of what God did in Pakistan this summer, allowing us to be His hands and feet.  It started off before Brother Ross ever made it there, with a powerful time of prayer and anointing over a zoom call.  People from all over the world met together and lifted up this trip, asking that God would do what only He could do.  We had no idea how that prayer would be answered, but He did just that.  Each step along the way God directed, provided, sustained and blessed every hand that was busy at work, building the Kingdom.  What a privilege and an honor to be used to bring Him glory - and He gets it all!  Ross travelled by air and land over 14,500 miles.  When it seemed like there would be a bump in the road, God smoothed the way.  Ross participated in 14 days of ministry all over the Pakistan region.  He gave 16 messages of salvation, hope, and encouragement to those who are already believers and to those who needed to hear that there is a God who sees them, loves them and wants to be their Savior.  There were over 1,100 in attendance, ranging from groups of 40 to 120.  People made sacrifices to be there; to sit and listen to God’s Word be spoken in a powerful, life changing way.  To God be the glory!  Ross was able to pray with hundreds of people, speaking life over them and covering them in the promises of God.  This was a beautiful time where the language barrier was broken and God’s presence was felt in a real and powerful, yet intimate way.  There was a new program created for Genesis TV network, and 3 planning sessions with new pastors for what God is going to do in 2027 there in Pakistan. He is expanding our reach and we are ready to stand in the gap for these beautiful people that God created, loves, and is drawing to Himself.  They are hungry for the Word of God and they are eager to hear more. There were close to 150 souls that said “yes!” to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  All of Heaven is rejoicing and we rejoice with them.  

Your prayers and contributions played a big part in the seeds that were planted and  the increase that was brought forth.  God certainly doesn’t “need” our help, but He chooses to use us so that we can partake in the glory that is revealed in Heaven.  Please continue to pray for those seeds that were planted that are still waiting to yield their increase.  We know that God will continue to draw these precious souls to Him.

 

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.  So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. ‭‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

 

UPDATE FROM PASTOR SAM

 

Greetings in the most gracious and powerful name of our Lord Jesus!  We give all the glory to Jesus for what He has been doing here in Pakistan. Many new souls are being added to His Kingdom every week. God is using our ministry in different ways to reach the unreached people who have not heard the Gospel.

 

The Lord is helping us to reach these villages in different ways; by providing their children free education, teaching sewing to young girls, building toilets in the villages, and also digging up fresh water wells. As we become the hands and feet of Jesus, people are more likely to listen to us when we tell them about Him.  They see us first as someone who cares about them as individuals, then they learn that we also care about their soul.  We show them first that we are trustworthy and then when we speak, they are more likely to believe what we say because they can see that there is something different about us, and that something is Jesus!

 

Please keep us in your prayers.  It is our desire to reach more and more people from the many villages that have never heard the name of Jesus.  The harvest is ripe and we are ready, willing and able to GO and preach the gospel to anyone who will listen.  We ask for prayers for opportunities and for finances.  As God provides through answers to your faithful prayers, you get to join us in reaping a reward for a harvest for the Kingdom of God. 

 

Blessings and Love,

 

Sam
