Don't consider the things of old..."

Editor's Heart for December 2023
|
[Thus says the Lord,] Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
|
|
... One thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
|
|
~Philippians 3:13b-14 (NKJV)
|
|
|
|
In His Word, God frequently speaks of the new... He gives us a new heart and a new mind; He makes all things new; He exhorts us to walk in newness of life; and so on. He advises us that we cannot grab hold of the new before first letting go of the old. And then He EMPOWERS us to release the old by granting us new grace and mercy on a continuous basis.
|
|
As the end of the year 2023 draws near, it's not too soon to think of things we'd like to leave behind. Likewise, it's not too soon to set our eyes on the prize! Onward and upward for the Kingdom, beloved!

Repentance Call Atlanta, GA
The next Repentance Call Mission Trip will be tentatively launching out December 22rd through 24th (final details to be determined). Destination: ATLANTA, GA! God has given visions/dreams to confirm this destination. And if you follow the news, you know about the recent earthquake. (Followers of Breathe LIFE may remember the unprecedented touching down of 7 tornados that sparked the first Repentance Call mission trips in 2020.)
|
Pray for the churches/ministries in the host city:
• For laborers to be sent into the harvest. (Matt 8:38)
• To return to their first love and have the fire of God rekindled.
• To have God’s heart for the lost.
• Renewed desire to proclaim the gospel in their own city.
• To not be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pray for the RC Team:
• All boldness and clarity to speak the Word of God. (Acts 4:29)
• Health and safety of the team.
• Spiritual preparation for the mission.
• Gentleness, patience, and humility to correct those who are in error. (2 Tim. 2:24-26)
• An open door for the Word to be preached. (Col. 4:2-4)
• To operate in unity and one accord as a team.
• For the world to see the love of God through their love for each other.
|
|
• For all financial needs for the mission trip to be met.
|
Pray for the lost in the host city:
• To receive salvation, deliverance, baptism in the Holy Spirit, healing. These things are the will of God, therefore we can ask with boldness.
• To break the spiritual blindness that stops them from seeing and receiving the light of the glory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 4:4)
• Spiritual thirst. (John 4:13-15)
• Ears to hear and hearts to receive. (Luke 8:11-15)
• To receive the truth of God’s impending judgment and to realize that His goodness is drawing them to repentance. (Romans 2:4)
|
Things that are needed for every mission trip include hotel/motel rooms for team members, transportation costs (rental vehicle and/or gas), food, gospel tracts, other handouts, etc.
|
|
Please pray and consider sowing a financial seed toward this mission trip.
|
|
The harvest is great, but laborers are few. Every cent you donate goes directly to
|
|
the project for which it was donated. Breathe LIFE staff are not paid salaries.
|

If you want to donate, reach out to find out what is needed and how to get it to us!

Back to the Basics
|
Breathe L.I.F.E. is resuming some of our foundational outreaches: moonlight ministry; homeless outreaches with food, clothes, and other supplies; park and pray; back to school drives, etc. Follow us on social media (links below), subscribe to this newsletter, and visit our website to stay informed and get involved!
|
|
NOTE and a wink: There are many ways to get involved, not just sowing a financial seed! Reach out to find out!
|
|
|
|
|
More information on upcoming outreaches will be available soon. We have monthly planning meetings to discuss these things. So if there's an outreach you'd like us to direct or to collaborate with you, please reach out and let us know!
|
|
There is ALWAYS a need...
We are assembling care packs to have available at all times for giving as led and able. All sorts of items are needed: wash cloth, wipes, soap, shampoo, conditioner, razors, deodorant, tooth paste, tooth brushes, socks, sunscreen, bug spray, dental floss, hair brushes, combs, lotion, grooming products like nail clippers and files, maxi pads, tampons etc etc etc… and Gospel tracts. Not only do these care packs distribute essential personal items to those in need, they open a door for talking about Jesus.
|
|
I'd also like to mention that as needs are brought to us, we post on social media to give all an opportunity to meet those needs. If YOU or someone you know has an immediate need, please reach out by any of the means mentioned in this newsletter. We thank those who have sown in the past. May the Lord bless you all for your generosity!

Testimonial from Great Nonprofits Registry:
|
I reached out for a need to get a room because I lost everything! I was leaving a messy relationship, I was starting over! I met this group of ladies at a hotel and got way more than a Room! I got Jesus! I’ve been clean, sober and reunited back to family for 6 months now! I’m a in church too! The founder checks up on me periodically and everything!
