JACKSONVILLE’S Night of Praise!
Saturday, February 23 at 7:00pm
Come be a part of this exciting night of worship
where people from all different walks of life
will gather in unity to worship!
We hope you will be able to join us on the 23rd. We are so thankful to you, our friends, who have committed to “join in unison, as with one voice to give praise and thanks to the Lord…” (2 Ch 5:13).
JACKSONVILLE’S Night of Praise is a Christ-centered event held quarterly in order to bring Christians together to worship and pray. This event takes place in one of the city’s most beautiful settings… in front of the Wyndham Hotel along the St. John’s River. We are centrally located-- on purpose! We are non-denominational-- on purpose! Why? Because, this event is for you! No matter what your cultural, racial, or denominational background is- this night is for you. God desires our lives to be lived in unity and we are trusting Him to break down walls of division when we are willing to come together to worship and pray ‘as with one voice.’
Ministry Spotlight: We are very excited to shine a spotlight on Bishop Ron Dozier from the Wise Master Builder’s Ministry this month. Bishop Ron has been in ministry for many years and you will be encouraged as he shares his heart about ministering to the people of Jacksonville and the impact that he has already made through various events he has held. We are praying ahead of time that Bishop Ron’s ministry will be blessed by the connections God will make through the Night of Praise.
Guest Artist: Pastor Keith Pintar is presently the pastor of Calvary Chapel in Jax Beach. He was previously a musician in the world of secular hard rock, but now plays his music to the glory of his Savior Jesus Christ. His music and testimony shows evidence of his incredible heart for the lost and the hurting. We were so blessed to have met Pastor Keith at a previous event and are so excited to have him be a part of the Night of Praise. You too will be blessed by the voice and the heart of this talented man of God. You won’t want to miss it!
We all know our city is in great need! The need is- the Love of Christ! JACKSONVILLE’S Night of Praise has a vision of connecting God’s people together who are ‘like-minded’ who can work together to accomplish the things that God has set forth. It’s time for the body of Christ to reach beyond the four walls of the local congregation, joining hands and voices in unity, to help transform our city! God is calling His people to something different…. something more… something much, much bigger!!!
Together, Reaching Up… Reaching Out!
We envision a city where believers are
worshiping together,
walking together,
and working together
in order to bring the love of Christ to our city!
(John 13:35)

Have A Blessed and Merry Christmas! Remember that Jesus is the greatest gift of all. Enjoy your families and rest in our Father's Love.

YEAH GOD and Many Thanks To All who came out to serve free cocoa, candy canes, along with the Christmas edition of Father's Love Letters and Bibles at Avondale and Hemming Plaza and to those who labored in the fields at the Eureka Garden Apartments! Whether you went or sent out others with prayer, gifts or finances, you are a part of the seeds planted and the souls saved!
Yeah God! November 30th at Avondale:Over 300 of the Christmas edition of Father's Love Letter were handed out as several of the group were caroling with a great noise of praise unto God! Over 200 cups of cocoa were served with over 300 miniature candy canes along with Bibles and other Christian literature. Though the laborers were few amongst the thousands who came out for this Christmas street party, we learned much and sang carols together in adoration of our great king, Father, friend, lover and saviour Jesus. Next year, we will be prepared for both of these opportunities to share the love of God and to also attend the celebration in San Marco, which is the same weekend, thereby covering another part of our great city.
Yeah God! December 5th at Hemming Plaza was great and well attended by the lost and the laborers!!! We had 10 carolers plus three others giving out over 350 of the Christmas version to Father's Love Letter with other Christian literature/Books of John and two serving 150 cups of cocoa (Chef's blend of Ghirardelli chocolate!) with marshmallows and 350 miniature candy canes! We had the opportunity to pray with others and to share the love of God in song, fellowship, witness, and delicious cocoa! Yeah God again! The Florida Times-Union staff photographer, after taking several pictures, asked Deborah, 'Was the name of this group from Hot Pursuit Ministries International,' and when she responded with everyone coming together with the love of God and from different groups, he still wanted a name and she told him Father Loves Jacksonville. This is a response he was not comfortable with,it is a statement, a declaration.
Yeah God! Eureka Garden Apartments:Approximately 360 Children & Adult Gifts, 375 Father's Love Letters, 350 'Father Loves You'-Heart Stickers, 200 Candy Canes, and 150 pieces of Christian literature, including Books of John were given out at the outreach to those who live at the Eureka Garden Apartments. As best we can tell, till the count is accurately made, there were well over 4 dozen who prayed for either salvation, healing, deliverance, encouragement, and/or for re commitment! This is an ongoing commitment of love, building relationships through prayer and acts of love and training them in the ways of God and witnessing transformation of a community. By the way, we knew there was something significant about going to Eureka Garden Apartments as prompted by the Spirit of God. Deborah exclaimed by the Spirit, 'Eureka,' one day and said God said 'Eureka, you have found it, the answer is in Me, Go to see the triumph!' She sensed that it also is interesting that the word 'Garden' is part of the name of these apartments. Garden of the Lord, of security, of safety, of provision, of rest, of beauty, of communion with God, and fellowship! Also, Eureka is what you might say when you suddenly find or realize something or when you solve the problem. It is used to show how happy you are to have discovered the answer to a problem or that you have found something. Archimedes was a Greek scientist who discovered a way to access the purity of gold in an object. The Greek word for eureka 'heuristic' is an investigative process used for the discovery of solving a problem. Gold is to be found there in the lives of those who dwell there, and gold must be and is being unearthed there! Hope and pray that you will want to join us in future outreaches to The First Coast in the future.

Hi Lovers of God and Passionate Soul Winners,
Tonight at 7 PM, October 24 and through Friday, October 26, we are ministering at a tent revival on the south side of Jax., located next to Bolles High School, on San Jose Boulevard. This used to be a Lutheran church, where one of our spiritual fathers, Dan Duke ministered some years ago. We have kept in touch with these very hungry pastors over the years and they have since broke away from the traditional style Lutheran church and renamed the church, Christ The Messiah Church. They have asked us to minister these three nights and of course we said yes to giving them heaven! (Steve Poturich with Bill Hackworth may also be joining us in ministry, one night.)
Please keep these revival services and us in prayer: For us to share His love as He leads us, to call in prepared hearts to receive from God, for no rain with pleasant weather, no bugs to bite, as we are near the river, for no technical and electrical difficulties, and for the spiritual fire, wind and rain to fall upon us all as we share His love and souls are saved and broken hearts healed.
They have never done a tent revival before.........they are obeying God and hungry for Him to move and souls to be saved and set free! Flyers were distributed in nearby neighborhoods for all three weeks of revival services. (Held Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for the next three weeks, Oct.24-Nov. 9) There are many young, as well as the elderly in this area, and many affluent and Jewish also.
Invitations were sent to worship leaders to join us, however, as of yet, we have received no response. So, we will be playing some worship music through our CD player or laptop. If you know of someone who would come with a pure heart and desire to worship with love and adoration for an audience of One, please have them come on out and see us beforehand or call us on our cell phone at 233-5815.
(A pure and loving heart, desperate for God, with a good voice, and with a guitar or keyboard are required!)
Anyone who would like to join us, the exact address is 7576 San Jose Blvd. Jax., Fl. 32217, Next to Bolles School, where Old St. Augustine Road intersects with San Jose Blvd., and located across from San Jose Country Club. The church phone number is 733-3644, pastors are Pastor Walter and Nadira Enquist
Love to have you join us!

Hi Everyone!
You are receiving this email for the purpose of your support for outreaches in the Jacksonville area: for Boxes of Love to the poor, to various youth events, to the homeless, street ministry, to nursing homes and upcoming open air tent meetings.
The cost for printing and folding 7,500 Father's Love Letters is approximately $750. Your prayer support and financial gifts in any amount are greatly appreciated for the spreading of the Gospel. Gifts can be sent through the post office or through a Pay Pal account on the web site, info below.
Boxes of Love are packed and distributed the week of November the 11th. This year there will be 3,500 boxes taken throughout the community to those who would otherwise not receive this special meal. We will need to have the 3,500 Father's Love Letters, printed and folded to place in the boxes, there at the warehouse, before the packing begins. Last year, it was so much fun to go and be a part of filling the boxes and praying over every box before it was sent out. Yeah God! Many were saved and lives changed for eternity. Again this year, we will be sending out another 2,000 to other ministries who give out food for Thanksgiving and to the homeless.
Youth Quake Live and other planned youth outreaches require more than 2,000 Father's Love Letters.
We are praying for more than enough finances to come in, so that we can have even more printed for the constant outreach we do, that would be in addition to these quantities for special events.
Our Father's Love Letter supply has been depleted due to the continual outreach that we do on a daily basis. There is virtually never a place we do not take them. Father is melting the most resistant hearts with His love. Please join us, together we can blanket His love everywhere and in every way!

Report on The Motorcycle Rally for Ghana, Mighty Wind Ministry International, supporters and Ambassadors of Father's Love
Praise God! The “Wind Warriors for Ghana” Motorcycle Rally August 19 from Jacksonville to St. Augustine was awesome! We made some new friends and had a powerful time of prayer and healing at the Great Cross. Please keep in prayer our "Glory in Ghana" crusades and ministry conferences from Sept. 13- 24. We'll be meeting with several governmental officials concerning the AIDS orphans' plight. If you would like to sow into this worthy work, we bless you in the Name of the Lord of Glory!
On October 3, we are holding 2 National Day of Prayer for Mental Illness Support and Recovery events at noon - at Northeast Florida State Hospital AND at the main library by Jacksonville's City Hall. Please join us for prayer, for nothing is impossible with God! Our new Comcast cable TV show “Second Wind” begins airing Oct. 21 & 22 at 1 PM. It's a bi-weekly program with seminars and interviews with experts to promote spiritual and mental health in our community. Please tune in and let us know your feedback. We are believing for miracle testimonies from all these events, just like we've been receiving in our meetings at NEFSH and Lawtey Prison, the Lord moving among His children with awesome power, healing and delivering, touching lives for His Glory. Jesus truly is the same yesterday, today and forever! He is alive and working!
Father's Love Letters were sent with the Rushings to Ghana as they are always a tool of choice for their ministry. Please keep them in prayer and for those who they encounter.

Upcoming Events or Outreaches:
July 21, 2005 Mission Main Street is from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM , from 1st Street to the Trout River Bridge along Main Street there will be hundreds of fun, loving, Christians anxiously waiting to share the Love of God. Churches, students, families, friends, and faith-based organizations are mobilizing to serve from 100-200 stations along Main Street . Remember that this is not just a youth event. This is a church wide event and we would love to have a group from every ministry in your church. We will be promoting Good Will, Good Deeds and the Good News to the community of Jacksonville.
HELP IS NEEDED! Please pray and see what the Lord would have you do. There are a number of ways your church can be involved. You can set up a card table and chairs and hand out bottled water, Bibles, clothes, food and drinks. You can grill out and BBQ some hot-dogs to hand out. You can set up a craft station for the kids to enjoy. We also would like to collect 5,000 canned goods this year. You can donate financially to help with supplies and above all else you can pray. Pray for good weather, pray for God’s anointing and presence. Pray that people will come into a relationship with our loving Lord. Get your church involved by bringing a group to help in this special ministry in the city of Jacksonville . Plus, after the event is all over, we know you will all be starving not only for God’s presence but also for food. There will be a pizza party and concert immediately following at Oceanway Assembly of God . The pizza will cost $3.00 per person but best of all, the concert is FREE!!!! It doesn’t get much better than that.
Please be encouraged to purchase a T-shirt for $8.00 to display a unified effort.
This is a great way for the church to serve in our own backyard. Many times missions is perceived as an overseas project and we can forget our own Jerusalem. The ‘Word’ says Jerusalem first, then Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. It would be very sad to loose our Jerusalem. For info or joining in, call (904) 765-5502 or email pastornick@wordstoworks.com.
The ambassadors are increasing! It’s contagious!

August 7, 2005:
For Gay Pride Day, some local area ministries and churches are setting up a booth, to reach out with the love of God. Popsicles along with Father’s Love Letters are being distributed to the participants, with the message of God’s extravagant love. Attendance is expected to reach in excess of 10,000.
The following statistic confirms the need for Father’s love among the homosexuals.
“I have worked with thousands of homosexuals. I have never seen a homosexual who had a loving, respectful relationship with his father.”
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi Author “ A Parents Guide To Preventing Homosexuality.” Preventing Homosexuality, Focus On The Family Radio Broadcast April 2003
Looking forward to this outreach, Hot Pursuit Ministries, International, is requesting prayer and financial support for the printing of Father’s Love Letters, specially designed for this outreach.
Before making any comments or judgments, please read the following account, which took place at an earlier date.
“I just heard a show on Focus on the Family that jarred memories, and I have to write this. Please read it and forward it on to your Christian friends.”
I have a friend who is wild and crazy, but in a good way. She is passionately in love with Jesus, and has a heart for souls like no one else I know. Her brother is in a gay lifestyle. Many months ago he told her of a friend of his who was dying of AIDS. She had to meet this friend and pray for him, and tell him about Jesus. Her brother goes to the gay bar just about every night, and was getting ready to go at the time. "Well, if you want to meet him" he said, "He'll be at the bar tonight". She was determined to go and, needing another Christian to go with her, drafted me.
"You are the only one I know who might go with me, and it might be his only chance to hear the gospel" she said. So, more than a little nervous, I went. I am quite secure in my manhood, but I had seen a show on TV as a kid that showed a gay bathhouse with men groping and humping each other, I thought I knew what to expect; we were walking into Sodom and Gomorrah . What I found was not what I expected; no groping, just people sitting around, some dancing. I had expected a spirit of lust and perversion to be oozing from every corner; what I found was an overwhelming spirit of loneliness, and despair, it was so thick you could almost touch it.
The man we came to see wasn't there, so we left. We went out to her car and for the longest time we wept like babies over the precious souls inside that bar. And I weep now as I am writing this.
And I wept for the Church, because they don't really care. By and large we sit back and do nothing while this precious group of hurting people die and go to hell. We condemn them from our pulpits, and oppose them politically, but when is the last time you heard of a major evangelistic outreach to them, or a prayer movement seeking the face of God for their salvation? We hold big rallies, and organize to "preserve the sanctity of marriage". But if we put just 1/2 that effort into praying for homosexuals to come to Christ, and reaching out to them in love (Not condemnation, for it's the goodness of God that draws men to repentance. Romans 2:4) so many would get saved and set free; we might not even need to worry about gay marriage.
The Father said to Jesus, " Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance". We are joint heirs with Him, we can ask for the souls of men. The Bible says, "The Spirit and the bride say come". (Rev. 22:17) The bride needs to bid them come! (Only a true bride can do so.)
(I remember a story here in Jacksonville many years ago. An elderly lady was tied to a chair and left by her "caregivers." When they found her several days later she had eaten the stuffing out of the chair. When people are hungry enough they will eat anything. Another similar story, taken from a scene in a book I read, where a man described a Nazi prison camp, and all the starving prisoners were desperately attacking a truck of filthy scraps.)
I picture desperate souls hungry for whatever love they can find gathered around the devil’s truck, eating his scraps, getting ever more hungry. (Many are hungry and filling up with counterfeits, that do not fulfill the longing inside. We were all made to be loved and to give love, to be accepted and affirmed. And unless we accept that love for ourselves, we can’t give it away, to bring healing to others.)
Several years ago Christians started focusing prayer efforts on what's called the 10/40 window (mostly Muslim nations); what happened was miraculous. News came out about miraculous conversions, God reaching people in ways only He could. Today revival is hitting in parts of the Muslim world, something that seemed impossible a few years ago.
So lets do the same for the gay community. If this letter has pricked your heart, repent and pray for their salvation, consider setting aside "Gay Pride Day" as a day of prayer and fasting for the salvation of the homosexual community, and pass the idea on to others.
Be blessed!

FATHER'S DAY FLL BLITZ OF FLORIDA !!
Father's Love Letter appeared in a full-page newspaper ad, in the Tallahassee Democrat , The Blountstown County Record , the Marianna Floridian, and in the Chattahoochee-Sneads Twin City News. These papers were all published on Father's Day week, with the circulation coverage from the "big bend" area of the panhandle of Florida stretching from Tallahassee halfway to Jacksonville , and from Tallahassee halfway to Pensacola , and from the Georgia border to the Gulf of Mexico . Right here on the First Coast , radio spots of Father's Love Letter were broadcast over the weekend on several stations. Many lives were touched by the incredibly awesome message of God’s love. It was through the obedience of Burt & Shirley Arno , of Grand Ridge , Florida , that the newspapers were published. The Father's Love Letter DVD was shown throughout the First Coast and the state of Florida . At New Life Family Church in Marianna with Pastors Jeff and Sandra Ward, everyone attending the service received an FLL card. Hundreds of FLL and other resource materials were taken to the young men who are in the A. G. Dozier Correctional Facility, and into other area prisons.

During the first week of May, we were at the Father’s Love Forum in Kelowna, BC, Canada. This was again a great privilege for us to be a part of and receive an impartation from men and women of God from all over the world, who share the message of Father’s love. We gathered together in adoration of our Father, receiving more of Father’s love through worship, teaching, and fellowship. As always, we came back to Florida filled with precious cargo to give!
Friday April 30, 2004
The Opening of the Beaches Parade brought thousands to the beach. Once again, we entered a float and gave out thousands of Father's Love Letters, printed in various formats, along the parade route. It can really get hot out there, so one of the favorites is the fan, with the FLL text printed on one side and the hands on the other side with a paddle stick attached to each one. Thousands of pieces of candies, imprinted with the web address, were given out as well. Throughout the parade, hundreds of beach balls, large and small, were given too. Last week one of the calls we received came from someone who had gotten one of the fans, which we had given out at the Beaches parade. She had been involved in Wicca and this letter had ministered to her greatly. Nothing is impossible with God! Sharing the love of God is contagious and radically fun! We continue to receive calls from the newspaper ads from last year and the year before! One of our more recent calls came in from a 90-year-old woman of God. She told us of her being in an Intensive Care Unit for weeks and how she had stopped breathing several times. Now she is living in an assisted care facility and knew her life was far from over, God had reason for her to still be here. She had read FLL we had placed in the newspaper, jotted down the phone number, found it, and called us for a smaller version and other formats to distribute to everyone in her address book. She told us how almost everyone there in her new residence are near death and they would all need a Father's Love Letter too. We were so delighted to meet her and take materials to her. She has already mailed every letter we took to her and has begun making more copies for everyone else she meets! There are several outreaches planned in conjunction with other ministries in the city. FLL will be given out at these events and we are also coordinating the printing of at least 200,000 FLL for distribution for the Super Bowl 2005, being held here in Jacksonville. We are looking forward to billboards, banners to fly overhead and many other ways of distributing the message of Father’s Love to all who live in and visit our city.

With increased finances and laborers we can exceed the impact, reaching many more souls. (The cost of this outreach last year was approximately $750. We can expect about the same for this year.)

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade was held January 19th, despite the rain!!!!!!! The two miles long parade route winded through downtown Jacksonville and past several buildings under construction, as the city prepares for the Super Bowl held here next year. The message "Father Loves You" and the web address, www.FatherLovesJacksonville.com were printed on the banner, on the signs on the truck, and on the 1,500 pieces of candy and favors that were given out that day. Bouncing balls, small Frisbees, giant yellow, smiley face beach balls, and red nerf footballs were tossed to the crowds. Almost 3,000 Father's Love Letters were given out to the crowds lining the parade route. (Last year we gave out 1,100 FLL and ran out long before the parade ended.)
Due to the rain, many of the spectators were under overhangs instead of along the sidewalks; so it appeared that there were fewer spectators than the year before. Because there were many at a distance from us, we had to pursue them through the many puddles! The laborers made up several local churches, including one pastor and his wife and another ministry who joined us. Members of the MADDADS organization, who were in the parade somewhere behind us, also gave out Father's Love Letters. As we got soaked from head to toe, including the FLL from time to time, we thought how this was nothing compared to the journey Jesus took in our place!
This year we ran out of candy and favors and had extra FLL. We know that if the weather had been clear and sunny, like last year, we probably would have run out of FLL again. So next year we will be prepared for that. We are learning as we go and enjoying it as well. The construction workers, the business men and women, the police who guided the parade, the government workers, the waiters and waitresses, restaurant owners, bus drivers, bands, clowns, ROTC, and all we passed by or who passed by us were very receptive to Father's Love Letter.
At the end of the parade, we were able to give FLL to many of the entrants of the parade. In one of the military units, there was one young man, while in formation, who put his arm behind his back, so that a Father's Love Letter could be placed in his hand!! This was one of many we will never forget!! And though getting dry and warm was important at the time, the laborers are ready for the next parade! Many people from different professions were touched with the message of Father's Love that day.

On Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend, a banner was flown over the
beaches area, near
St. Augustine to Atlantic Beach and back into the city of Jacksonville.
The banner, in red and black, read Father Loves You-FatherLovesJacksonville.com,
declaring this truth and inviting all to visit the website, where anyone could
find their journey home to Father. There were many visits to the website to
see and hear of His great love for all men. While taking shots of this flying
overhead, the opportunities arose to share the love of God and to give out
Father's Love Letters.
Tuesday July 29, 2003

Statistics (Baptist Press): Reaching men, reaches families! A 93% probability exists for household salvation, when the father is first to become a Christian, 17% if the mother is first and 3.5% if the child is first. "To reach men, you have to enter into their world," as stated by Sid Woodruff, a men's ministry specialist.
Please send in your best gift for this and all other continued outreaches into our great city. Funds for this outreach must reach us by Wednesday June 9th. We are seeing lives changed for eternity through the goodness of God. This is not for us to do alone but to do as one body of believers. Please join us, as we blanket the earth with His extravagant love, everywhere and in every way, for eternity! God Bless You!
