Happy Thanksgiving
God Has Been So Good This Year ...
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for your partnership with Michele Telfer Ministries. Over the past year, we have seen God to incredible things through this ministry; and His continued expansion of our reach is a direct result of your generous support. Your prayers and giving have an impact for His kingdom - they enable us to share God's Word with more and more people both here at home and abroad.
Highlights ...
- The in-person ministry has continued to grow here in Arkansas. I returned to the church in Pea Ridge in April to debut my four-week study called Draw Near -- A Study of the Tabernacle. I led four different women's groups at Fellowship in Rogers through my studies in Hebrews, Elijah, and a new one called Signs That Point the Way -- The Miracles of Jesus. They also invited me to do my Passover presentation for a co-ed group of 80 people one Sunday morning, which I am told was a real blessing to those who attended it!
- The online teaching is going well. This year I have introduced two new studies in that format: Stories to Live By -- The Parables of Jesus and Who Do You Say That I Am? (A Study of The Gospel of Mark), which have made great additions to the video series available on our website as well as the podcast and radio station platforms!
- By the time some of you read this, I will have been back to speak at the men's maximum security prison in California four more times; and because of your generosity we were able to send them 100 copies each of the Tabernacle and the Miracles of Jesus studies. In addition, I was able to partner with the Gideons Bible Society to get 300 New Testaments in the the men!
- That wasn't our only book distribution project! I also took 200 copies each of those same two books with me to Uganda for the God Cares High School and 100 additional copies of the Tabernacle book for local pastors. That brings the total for this year to 700 books donated (not including the Bibles)!
- Thanks to your generous support for this year's Uganda Mission Trip, over 130 pastors attended our pastors' conference, where we distributed hundreds of Bibles in their local language. [See photo below]. Your giving also provided new carpeting for the children's church, offering a comfortable place for the pastors to stay overnight. Over the course of five days, I taught 12 times at various events, including the pastors’ conference, a women's conference, a local church service, and the God Cares High School chapel. Many came to Christ and many others rededicated their lives to the Lord! Your generosity also allowed us to gift $3,500 to a church in Uganda allowing them to secure the Title Deed on a new piece of land.
- In addition to the on-going weekly radio programs broadcast around the world, our In The Word by Michele Telfer App launched and has been downloaded by hundreds of people already, allowing them to engage with our studies in even more ways!
- A large Christian media corporation has approached me with the opportunity to join their streaming services alongside people like Gregg Laurie and Joni Eareckson Tada. This would add $7,000 a year to our running costs, but it would greatly increase our outreach using the material we already have.
Thank you for making it possible for us to continue to offer everything we do at absolutely no cost to those seeking to connect with God’s Word. God is extending the cords of our tent, helping us to reach more and more people for Jesus! This would not have been possible without your prayers and your continued support.
Gratefully looking forward ...
- Please pray God’s protection for me, my family, our Board and our many volunteers.
- Pray for upcoming events. I am to speak at a Christmas Tea for Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park on December 5th and a women’s retreat in Missouri in April 2026. There are also other opportunities, but they are still in the planning stages.
- Pray for God to continue to enlarge this ministry and that He would call additional monthly partners to provide the much-needed finances to cover our rapidly growing operating costs, as well as the new opportunities He has placed before us.
We are so grateful for all that God has done — it would not be possible without you!
