Our latest newsletter, with 2 messages! - Love For His People

June 11, 2019

Greetings friends of Love For His People.

Happy summertime! What a beautiful time to be with family, friends, and maybe as with ours - a family reunion next week for the Martin clan coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. Dad (now in heaven) and Mom like reunions. Me too!

By the grace and provision of the Lord, throughout our 9 years of ministry since the founding of Love For His People in April of 2010, I have rarely presented people with the opportunity to support this ministry. You may have seen the short sentence at the bottom of my regular Now Think On This messages.

But now I am. And for a very special reason.

In order to further share the mission of what the Lord has called us to - teach Christians about our debt to Israel and the Jews, support Messianic Jews in Israel, share encouraging words (originally called love letters) to readers across the nations, publish books proclaiming the plans and purposes of our Lord in everyday lives, and to assist ones wanting to immigrate (make aliyah) to Israel and help in settling there - the Lord is calling, and enabling us, to expand. 

Continuing to share truth with our messages, the books yet to be written and published, and the goal to provide more support for those in Israel, this ministry needs to be more widely known. I personally cannot do that, having gone as far as I can with what you have seen, primarily without much assistance beyond my own time and efforts. It has also been through the primary funding of family members that we have gone thus far.

With this challenge presented to expand, I approached a local company here in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, who has a good history of helping ministries such as ours with social media and grant funding. They have now given me their quote to help us as follows. 

"I would love to move forward with you. I know you are looking for a $500 per month solution. This is possible on a longer term basis, but to get you in a good place we would want to do the following (which would be an additional fee). 

1. Build basic website structured in the way that we could build upon in as we move forward.
    a. Lead Generation aspects included.
    b. Teachings included.
    c. Mission of ministry built out.
    d. Everything we both feel that are needed.
2. Work with Google to get you into the grants program.
3. Set-up your Google Ads campaign with the goal of being able to utilize their $10,000 per month spend.
4. Plan and build out strategy of ministry to bring people into the fold.

To do this right we would need $2,500 down. I expect the plan, build and approval to go into the end of July. Then we would start on the marketing aspect August 1st for the $500 per month."

And so I put this out there, seeking those who will help with this goal.

Either through a one-time contribution or a commitment to send monthly support for a length of time, I do ask now for your help.

P.S. I always want to share a new message or two with you. Read the new ones below, written in the last week. What a testimony to the faithfulness of Jesus!
Now Think On This


“For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes." (Jeremiah 31:25, NASU)

The Lord is the God of Refreshment. He alone can satisfy the soul, and the deep longing within each of us, for more than what we can find apart from Him.

This is not my normal Now Think On This message, but it is an important one. Please read the following letter from one who happens to be my sister, Mary Smith, from Charleston, South Carolina, and discover for yourself how the power of God, with her testimony, can, and will further, bring life to you and others.

She sent it to Dr. Peter Wyns, Head Pastor of Antioch International Church, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, Pastors Jesse and Elizabeth Enns, and the staff.

Thank you, Mary Smith! (Read the rest: Mary Smith)

As I have walked around the city of Charlotte, North Carolina this month, it is prevalent all over – in public shopping centers, movie theatres, on social media and local news. The word “pride” is being pushed in our faces and celebrated as the new accepted way of life.  Read the rest: As For Me and My House

What say you about where you stand in God's plan?

Are you fitting in? Do you care? Are you where you think you are, or where you think you should be?

These messages have been written to bring you encouragement, some further insight, and to help you get to where you, and He, wants you to be in the Body of Christ.

The Lord is putting His people together - both in Israel with the Jews making aliyah and with believers around the world finding out their place and purpose in congregations.

What Say You? offers inspiration on how we can then live and move in this life, to cause godly effect and actually, cause something positive to happen or bring about in our lives, our families, our cities, our workplaces, and our country.

May you be about His business, as He directs you in your going.

700 Quakes Hit A Key California Seismic Zone, And Tar Is Literally Bubbling Up Through The Streets Of Los Angeles - Michael Snyder

Posted: 10 Jun 2019 10:12 PM PDT  Michael Snyder

Scientists are quite “concerned” about the huge earthquake swarm that has been shaking southern California in recent weeks, and right at this moment bubbling tar is literally coming up through the streets in one section of Los Angeles.  None of this means that a major seismic event is imminent, but it is certainly not a good sign either. 

We have been tracking quite a bit of unusual shaking along the Ring of Fire in recent months, and scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before “the Big One” hits southern California.  And if you follow my work on a regular basis, then you already know that I am extremely concerned about the potential for major seismic activity along the west coast.  So when I came across a San Diego Union-Tribune article entitled “Southern California earthquake swarm takes an unexpected turn, and that’s reason to worry”, it definitely got my attention.  According to that article, there have been “more than 700 earthquakes” in the Fontana seismic zone over the past few weeks…
There have been more than 700 earthquakes recorded in the Fontana area since May 25, ranging from magnitude 0.7 to magnitude 3.2, recorded Wednesday at 5:20 p.m., according to Caltech staff seismologist Jen Andrews.
That is certainly a lot of earthquakes, but is this sort of activity unusual?

Well, according to one scientist, this is the “most prolific swarm” to hit that area “in the past three decades”
The likelihood of a larger seismic event, given so many quakes over such an extended period, is higher than normal, the scientist said.
“People ought to be concerned,” said Hauksson. “This is probably the most prolific swarm in that area of the Fontana seismic zone that we’ve seen in the past three decades.”
Once again, I want to stress that all of this activity does not mean that a major earthquake is about to happen.

But one day it is coming.  In fact, scientists have told us that one day the entire San Andreas fault could “could unzip all at once”.  And when that day finally arrives, there might not be any warning at all.

If you live in California, you should be prepared for earthquakes to occur at all times, and that means taking some reasonable precautions
In any home in seismically risky areas of California, experts recommend removing heavy objects around beds, strapping bookcases and dressers to walls, anchoring flat-screen televisions to walls, installing toddler safety latches on kitchen cabinets, and ensuring frames are attached to walls with quake-friendly hooks.
Hopefully there will not be a major quake any time soon, but over the past few days another ominous sign has made news.

According to one local news report, “bubbling tar” is actually coming up through the streets near the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles…
And on Saturday, more seepage. Enough to draw the interests of tourists and residents alike.
CBS2’s Jake Reiner said tourists and residents alike have been coming to the area marveling at the bubbling tar.
Once again, this might be nothing.

But one local resident admitted that he had “never seen this before”, and apparently the smell of methane is very potent
“You see a little bit of tar oozing up between the pavement,” Kogan says, “all over the neighborhood. That’s not unusual but this seems to be flow tar. I’ve never seen this before.”
Not to mention the constant hissing sound coming from the ground — it’s methane.
“I can smell it. I thought a car broke its oil pan out here,” says Patrick Myer.
I don’t know about you, but if you can literally hear methane coming out of the ground and bubbling tar is starting to come up through the streets, perhaps that is a sign that it is time to consider moving somewhere else.

But of course the truth is that our entire planet is becoming increasingly unstable.  On Monday, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck near Cleveland.  The following comes from CNN
A preliminary magnitude-4.0 earthquake was reported Monday about 20 miles northeast of Cleveland, in or around Lake Erie, the US Geological Survey said.
The earthquake, measuring 3.1 miles in depth, was reported just before 11 a.m. local time north-northwest of the city of Eastlake.
“Did you feel that rumble this morning Cleveland? Well if you missed it, we caught this morning’s earthquake on multiple #OHGO cameras. Check it out! #Clevelandreallyrocks,” the Ohio Department of Transportation tweeted, along with a collection of traffic videos showing the moment the quake hit.
And of course Cleveland is not very far from the New Madrid fault zone that I have been writing articles about again and again.

On the other side of the world, a huge volcano in Indonesia also erupted on Monday
A huge column of ash was blasted almost five miles into the sky above the Indonesian island of Sumatra after an active volcano erupted.
Mount Sinabung blew for nine minutes on Sunday, causing panic among the island’s residents.
Indonesian officials warned that further volcanic activity was possible, although the volanco’s alert level remained unchanged.
Major seismic events are happening so frequently now that it is really hard to keep up with them all.

But it is very important not to become numb to what is happening.  Something strange really is happening to our planet, and many believe that it is going to get a lot worse.

As for California, scientists keep telling us that “the Big One” is way overdue, and when it finally arrives it could be a history altering event.

According to one team of scientists, an extremely large earthquake could potentially “plunge large parts of California into the sea almost instantly”.  Such an event would be far worse than anything that any Hollywood earthquake movie ever envisioned, and let us pray that nothing like that happens any time soon.
