“All the angels shouted for joy . . .” --Job 38:7
When God laid the foundations of the earth, hung the stars in
place, set the planets in their orbits, halted the proud waves on the
shore, wrapped the sea in clouds of mist, and taught the dawn to take
the earth by its edges . . . all of the angels shouted for joy at the
magnificent display of God’s glory and power in Creation!
Although none know the date of the beginning
of everything, we at AnGeL Ministries do know the date of our beginning
. . . June 2, 1988! And we are shouting for joy over the display of
God’s power . . . and grace . . . and goodness . . . and faithfulness .
. . the display of His glory wrapped up in His character over the past
twenty years of our existence.
When the Israelites were victorious over the Philistines, Samuel took a
stone and set it up as a remembrance of what God had done. He named it
Ebenezer, saying, Thus far has the Lord helped us.1
Please join us as we raise our Ebenezer also, shouting for joy for all
that God has helped us to do in His name and for His glory . . .
1 1 Samuel 7:12
Rejoicing over abundant fruit following thirty Just Give Me Jesus
revivals reaching more than 600,000 people in the
USA and
around the world . . .
“I have had a personal relationship with Jesus for 32 years and I
don’t recall ever having such a clear revelation of Who He is as I did
on Friday night of the revival.” – M. A., Fargo

What a thrilling privilege to “just give
them Jesus”…Savior, Lord, and King! As I have “hidden” behind the
Cross, hundreds of thousands of women have poured into arenas all over
the world and received a fresh touch from Heaven.

“The emphasis on prayer was/is needed for my life. Christ gives
me victory over being bi-polar, having been just diagnosed with
diabetes, having a difficult family life. . . My focus is on Christ and
what He can do. Praise God for this focus . . . just give me
Jesus!” – C. J., Seattle
“I came in from the spiritual desert and recommitted my life to the Lord Jesus Christ.” –Anonymous, Fargo
“All I know is . . . without Jesus . . . I AM NOTHING! And I found out
that the secret of true happiness is JESUS! God is Great! And He loves
me dearly . . . that’s why I am so happy in my life now and forever.”
– R. V., Manila
“I learned so much about myself and about Jesus . . . how His love
covers me as an individual person. He doesn’t just think of me like He
thinks of everyone else. He knows my name and He sees my face. The
battle is still raging. My life is still in turmoil, but I am holding
on to Jesus. I am acknowledging the rumblings, but I am focused on the
Cross (and) I know that if Christ could do that much with a little
bread and fish, He can do miracles with my life too.”
– S. F., Seattle
“I went with a hungry heart and came away filled to ‘overflowing.’ The
cross of Christ became alive to me once again. My prayer life and
Bible study, sadly, had become routine with no real intimacy with my
Lord . . . Thankfully, the Lord heard my cry and warmed my cold heart
once again.” – R., Detroit
“It really gave me a fresh new start. I have been a Christian for over
24 years and had the idol of TV in my life that I could not in my own
strength shake. It was consuming my life and I am happy to report
since your revival I have only watched one movie. The best part is I
don’t even miss it . . . my life is so full of JESUS and all His
wonderful people. I have been in the Word daily and talk to Him every
morning. It is so WONDERFUL!!!” – H. A., Seattle
“I have been a Christian for over 50 years. I taught Sunday School,
VBS, Bible studies. Your conference was just what I needed to refocus
my life – too busy in retirement doing good things for the Lord – too
busy to spend the time with Him. I was losing my steam, spinning my
wheels . . . Thank you for a fresh touch from Him.” – S. M., Detroit

On February 2nd, the Areneta Coliseum was almost the site of
a bloody cock fight! Instead, it
was filled to overflowing with
men and women who were saved,
then raised their white flags of surrender to Jesus.

“I truly needed this . . . last Sunday I planned to commit suicide
. . . My personal counselor reminded me God is my daddy.” – N. H., Des
Moines
“Through your (revival), I got a new revelation of Who Jesus is and
what I mean to Him . . . No one had ever taught me how to read my Bible
before. I have been practicing your technique and have been amazed at
the results. God’s Living Word has come alive for me personally! What
once was a chore has become an exciting time of personal communication
between myself and my Heavenly Father. I cannot get enough of Him or
His words!” – K. U., Chicago
“Since the (revival), I have attended church regularly and I know that God loves me. I am actually beginning to love myself.
That is the best feeling in the world. . . .
I was stained with crimson but now I am as white as snow.” – R. G., Charlotte
“I was asked to lead the Revelation series after the revival . . . I am
now starting the series for the 16th time. People are getting it!” –
L. P., Detroit
“Now, one month after Just Give Me Jesus, I am
intensively working in the area of the follow-up Bible study . . .many
sisters are waiting anxiously to make the Bible studies. We edited a
video (from the revival) that can be used in the follow-up. Over 52
cities (without Asunción) and over 60 denominations have registered.
We have already distributed over 3,000 Bible studies and are printing a
second time.” – A. N., Paraguay
Rejoicing over more than 50,000 women who pursued
Jesus through our weekend breakaways, learning to read,
study and teach God’s Word . . .
“This last week, I spent sharing your message through the internet with
all the members connected via email at our church. You told us not to
go to bed Sunday until we had unloaded on at least one person. Well, I
unloaded on almost 100!” – S. M., Filling Up To Overflow - The Cove
“You have paved the way for the rest of us to spread the Gospel simply and succinctly . . .” – B. V., Pursuing MORE of Jesus – Lexington

People have been saved, hearts have been surrendered, lives have been changed at every
Just Give Me Jesus
revival, including our most recent one in Des Moines, evidenced by
those who came to the Cross on Friday night . . . “‘not by might, nor
by power, but by My Spirit’ says the Lord Almighty.” –
Zechariah 4:6

“After The Cove weekend and your Bible teaching, I decided I would try
to view my circumstances differently. In short, God has begun some
great changes in my heart-contentment with myself and what I have,
great love for Him in a way I have never felt before, a hunger for
God’s Word and a true desire to seek and do His will for my
life.” – L. M., Filling Up To Overflow – The Cove
“I left knowing that His calling is what justifies me and that He makes me worthy to speak His Words.” – K. M., A Passionate Pursuit - San Diego
“I have received a greater boldness from the Holy Spirit to share the
Gospel and not back down. . . I have really learned that it is Jesus
that they are rejecting, not me. . . This has been a powerful
revelation which enables me to witness and teach with greater
confidence.” – J. M., A Passionate Pursuit – Cleveland
“At the conference, God did speak personally to my heart and it changed
my life forever. . . There on my 56th birthday, I couldn’t wait for you
to finish your invitation so I could STAND UP AND SAY ‘YES’ to the
teaching of God’s Word!"
– D. F., Filling Up To Overflow - The Cove
“For the first time in my life I feel free to serve God and want to
respond to the long-burning desire in my heart to be a disciple for
Him.” – A. N., Filling Up To Overflow - The Cove
“It was a privilege . . . a blessing . . . a challenge to have this
knowledge . . . surely ‘to whom much is given, much is required’
applies to me now more than ever.” – L. K., A Passionate Pursuit - Cleveland
Rejoicing over countless lives forever
changed through
the resources we offer and the way God places
them in
just the right hands . . .
“I am currently an inmate . . . I received your (Why?)
pamphlet from the chaplain and it really spoke to me! I have always
had trouble with ‘Why?’ and the way things happen. However, your
booklet along with a lot of Scripture has built up my faith!” – W. O.,
Florida
W. O. returned the tract saying he had accepted Christ.
“The video you recorded with your mother (A Conversation with Ruth Bell Graham)
was so encouraging – every aspect! The part about letting kids go when
they become teens really ministered to me.” – T. H., Wisconsin
“(Heaven: My Father’s House)
has given me so much peace and joy and understanding in words that my
grieving mind and heart could not express . . . my real belief that I
know Jesus and through Him and His blood on Calvary, I am going to my
Father’s House.” – M. A., via email
“Your mom’s poem at the beginning of (Why?)
put everything in perspective for me on that horrible, interminable
morning. Where else could I turn, but to my Lord? At the foot of the
cross, all my confusion and ‘whys?’ could be laid down. I didn’t need
answers: I just needed Jesus . . .” – B. W., via email

Once
again I have partnered with LifeWay Christian Resources to videotape a
new Bible study curriculum. It was filmed at Glen Eyrie in Colorado
Springs, CO, and will contain two workshops and four messages drawn
from the Gospel of John. Entitled
Pursuing MORE of Jesus, the new study will
be available in March, 2009.

“I wanted to write to you and thank you for your book I Saw The LORD.
God has used (it) to stir a hunger in my heart for personal revival and
moments alone with God and His Word.” – S. M.,
Tennessee
“This morning I wrote in my study journal, ‘I have learned to hear
God’s voice.’ This seems an amazing outcome of your study from someone
like me. I have been a Christian for 36 years and I have done numerous
Bible studies. However, I quite often questioned if I was really
hearing God’s voice. The Vision of His Glory study has helped me realize God speaks through the Bible as we study.” – J. B., Washington
“(God’s Story)
has been a book from God to my heart."
– W. M., Capetown, South Africa
“For the past month, we have shown your I Saw The LORD
group discussion DVD as our ministry time in chapel. I must admit I
was a bit hesitant to show the DVD . . . a room full of ministers can
be hard to impress especially when the presentation is on a video. But
. . . your anointed word has penetrated their hearts and is sparking a
renewed passion among our leaders and staff." – an international
ministry office
“As I did the (Vision of His Glory)
study each week, the ‘What does the Scripture mean to me?’ section
always blew me away and convicted me to no end. The whole study found
me without a place to hide. God’s Word was beginning to tear away at
the wall I had built around myself and my heart" – E. G., Washington
“I saw the Lord! I’m no longer depressed and I no longer see my husband as a burden . . .” – T. M., Alabama
We later received a note saying her husband had accepted Christ!
Rejoicing over the
miracle of technology that
enables us to reach people through our
newsletter,
our website, our daily radio program
and other media
opportunities . . .
“I was
touched by your program (on TV) last night. I am very ill and dying of
AIDS. Does Jesus love me like anyone else? I have made a lot of bad
decisions . . . will He forgive me for having more than one abortion?
I don’t have much time left here on this earth . . . I feel like I
have been too bad for God to love me.” – Julie, via email
One of our staff members called Julie to pray with her, assuring her
that God would forgive her if she asked Him. We received a note from a
friend to tell us Julie did accept Christ just days before she died . .
. and that “she was at peace for the first time in her life before she
left” . . . for her Heavenly home.

One way I have obeyed God’s call and gone into all
the world is through the media. This past Christmas
on Good Morning America I had the joy of sharing
with the world what the birth of Jesus means to me!
|
When I was saying this prayer (on your website) I was touched . . . I
cried. I’m a sinner . . . I felt so shy to God . . . so small . . .
but I know whatever I did . . . or do in the future, He will forgive me
still. I want to know God more . . . I want to know His words . . . I
want Him in my life . . . Really.” – S. B., Philippines
“Just wanted to let you know that I have asked God to forgive me the
way you suggested in the prayer on your website. The words that
touched me the most were ‘hardness of my heart, the meanness of my
thoughts, the coldness of my spirit and the sinfulness of my life.’ On
the outside I am a good girl, but only God knows how it looks on the
inside.” – A. V. , Holland
“Your Bible study on Elijah’s burnout . . . smacked me right between the
eyes . . . tremendously helpful.” – J. H., North Carolina
Rejoicing over I Saw The LORD church-wide events . . .
leading to repentance and revival in the hearts of God’s people
“Today I repented of pornography and abortions I encouraged (others) to get.”
“I’m convicted to be more concerned of what Jesus thinks of me instead of what others think.”
“I will stop my adulterous relationship.”
“God has placed on my heart to mend relationships in my life . . . to
let go of such bitterness and anger and the prayerlessness that has
resulted.”
“I recently got my ‘ugly brown package’ and yet now I see the blessing that also came with it.”
“Thank you Lord for the ‘wake-up’ call I heard from you today.”
“I’ve decided to keep my marriage together.”
“I pray I won’t point my finger and say ‘Woe are they’ but ‘Woe is me.’”
“God has challenged me to stop being judgmental and prideful and to see people as He sees them.”
“It truly touched me when you opened up the fact that God didn’t
make Isaiah perfect but He made him available (I Saw The LORD). I have
always tried to be perfect and am so tired…Thank you for voicing God’s
Word to remind me that God sees me as a diamond even when I feel like
coal.”
“I’m asking God to show me the ministry He has for me.”
“I forgive my father and uncle for their abuse of me.”
