A Note From Ed

Well, we made it to the other side!
Now I have all that food and water in the garage and will have to wait for the next century to end.....that’s life.
With bottled water now costing more than gasoline, I’ll hang on to it for a while.

I am so excited about the new year, the new beginnings and the ever growing need for the ministry of Saints Alive.
So many things yet to do.

The 1st Sunday night of January, 2000 was my 25th anniversary as a Christian. It is so hard to believe that much time has passed.
It still seems like yesterday when I was so marvelously saved. I hit the floor running that night and I still am running for Jesus.

I think these last 25 years were the preparation and training for my next 25 years of ministry.

Our son Jason has moved to Ketchum, Idaho and is working with a church there in the Wood River valley.
If you are in that area and would like to have him come and speak, let us now and we will get you in touch.
Jason continues to work with me in many ways through the Internet.

Our Pastor gave us a little 5 point card to keep in our Bibles this next year. Some basic Christian fundamentals to keep us focused: Bible, Prayer, Church, Giving, Serving. I could write a whole newsletter on each, but will let you consider them for yourself. 

We are in a time of fasting and praying for the first 40 days of the year 2000, seeking His direction for our lives and this ministry.
Please, drop us a note with your prayer needs so we can intercede for you.

We are so grateful for your prayers and financial support that have kept us going for so many years now.
 I openly solicit your best prayers and best gifts at the start of this new millennium for the sake of the lost.

Please, if you can, will you send in a gift?

It is easy to do…just go to the online Bookstore and drop a gift into the shopping basket.

We thank God for our faithful Supporters!

And They Said It could Never Happen!

Have you noticed that there are new articles now  showing up regularly in every section of our Web site now?

The secret is out! I have taken classes (At our Church Computer school) on Microsoft Front Page and with several days of ‘at the computer’ help of my friend and fellow minister, Eric Barger, I am now able to upload material for the web site. Me…Myself!

This is so great! Our Webmaster and youngest son, Josh Decker, who has a web company, www.toasthost.com, is so busy with his many paying customers that we have fallen behind in this area of service. As of now, you will be seeing new things on line with great regularity. I presently have at least 50 new articles and 4 complete books that are being readied for uploading. You might want to sign up for our Internet mail list, so we can let you know when new things are loaded on the site!

Here are a few of the new articles added to the online "library" just this week.

Masonic Government

The Character of God

The KJV or Not the KJV?

The One True Church

A Dialogue in Mormonism
