We are so grateful for God’s Love and Favor in our lives. July was a great month of God’s blessings, we see the Favor of God on every aspect of this ministry; not because of us but because of Jesus!!
Gospel Truth Seminar with Andrew Wommack in Minneapolis:
We were so excited to be able to go to Minneapolis for the first time in our lives for a GTS with Andrew. It was a new location for the ministry. The attendance was really great. It was full almost every service with about 1000 people. The Word was tremendous!! It was some of the best teaching on the Old Testament Law and the New Testament Grace and how God has delivered us from the OT Law and given us Grace, which is Jesus!! You need to call or go on their website to order the teachings from the GTS in Minneapolis (www.awmi.net). You will love it. We saw over 250 baptized in the Holy Spirit, at least 10 people born again and hundreds of healings. Our mission’s program was blessed beyond words again. We sponsored about 115 more children in our Nicaraguan Schools, was given $4,200.00 to build another home and also a $2,000.00 gift to help with school construction and other offerings just to help our missions. Andrew is always so gracious to tell the people about how much he loves us and Ambassadors to the Nations; how he feels we have the best missions program if you want to see 100% of your giving go toward the children and the designated projects. We are so humbled by the fact that God would put on Andrew and Jamie’s hearts to partner and love our missions so much. After almost 3 ½ years of traveling across the USA to all the GTS meetings, I still wake up almost every day and begin to cry with tears of joy because of what God has done in our lives through Andrew Wommack Ministries and his partners. We met the majority of you, who are now our supporters, because of Andrew. We want you to know with all sincerity that this work “could not be done” without you all and Andrew Wommack Ministries. It has grown so much, that it would be impossible to sell enough “chicken dinners”, or wash enough cars or do enough yard sales (like we did for 14 years) to make this missions possible. We are eternally grateful to you all for your continual faithfulness and always going the extra mile to bless the needy people we help in Nicaragua, Mexico,Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti.
Playground, Classrooms and House Construction in Nicaragua:
WOW!! What an awesome outpouring of giving toward our projects in Nicaragua. We took in enough money to put up a new playground at our Ometepe School, enough to finish the first classroom on the second floor at our Managua School; plus we have enough left to get started on the second classroom on the second floor too. We appreciate so much your willingness to give to make our schools bigger and better. We look forward to going to Nicaragua in August and seeing everything and taking lots of pictures to show you in next month’s newsletter.
House Projects in Nicaragua:
We now have money for 4 new homes and we are starting on one of them now. We are trying to rotate the homes between our families in Managua, Las Maderas and Ometepe who are faithful and are in great need of a home. We are really looking forward to seeing the homes that have been built since our last trip (one of them being our little buddy, Jeronimo). It is hard to describe the joy that the families feel when they get to move into their new homes with a new bed, new table with chairs, new house hold items and a home with an indoor bathroom. It is just AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!
“Sponsor a pair of Shoes” Project for Missions:
Many of you may remember if you have been a partner with us for a year, that we were given almost 2000 pairs of shoes FREE to bless a lot of needy people. We were hoping to be able to get them again this year, but the ministry that blessed us, their contributions are down and we would have to buy them this year. The tennis shoes we can get from them are worth $20-$35 a pair and they will let us have them for $7.00 a pair (which is a good price). However, we decided that we would go around first to all the Wal-Marts, K-Marts and other stores to buy up all the tennis shoes on clearance. We have been so very, very blessed. We have been finding shoes for $1.00-$5.00 a pair; so right now over the past few weeks we have bought almost 500 pairs of shoes. So we are doing great and saving a lot of money. This is where we need your help. If you could sponsor one pair of shoes or more for $5.00 each we would be able to bless a lot of needy people. Last year, blessing almost 2000 children, youth and adults with a new pair of shoes and socks was one of the best ministries we have ever done. We were able to wash their feet and show the love of Jesus through a pair of shoes. All the team members loved it. We have enclosed a “cardboard pair of shoes” that you can sign your name on and tell us how many pairs of shoes you would like to sponsor. Then mail it back with your donation and we will post the “cardboard shoe” in our building as a testimony of blessing needy children with new shoes. We hope to buy a lot more and then ship them all down on the Christmas container in October to Nicaragua. If you have friends or family members that would like to help with the “Shoe Project” just let us know. We can mail you more of the “cardboard shoes” so we can get more people involved to buy more shoes. Thanks for helping to make this possible!!
Upcoming Events and trips:
We are excited about our upcoming trip to Boston for another GTS with Andrew Wommack from August 12-14. Then 5 days after that, we will leave for our Mission trip to Nicaragua with a team of 13-15 people. We have a lot of great things planned for the team to do including passing out the birthday care boxes to all our students that were shipped down in June. Then after we return, we will have our big Annual Camp Meeting at our home church, Freedom Christian Center in Charlotte, NC with Andrew Wommack from September 12-17. Every year it is one week of powerful meetings and a lot of fun with friends from all over. Also during that week, we will have our 8th Annual Golf Tournament and cook-out on September 15, Wednesday at 8:00am for missions. All the information about playing or sponsoring a sign for $50.00 or $100.00 is on the website under events. www.ambassadorstothenations.com Also during that week, we will be packing Christmas care boxes (we will be giving you more information on this in September’s newsletter) for our children in Nicaragua. If you can take a few days or a week off, it would be worth every minute of it to come to camp meeting.
Update on the New Mission Administration Building in Charlotte, NC:
We are excited to be able to show you the final layout and look of the New Mission Administration Building we will be building soon in Charlotte, NC for our headquarters. We have had to make a lot of changes to be able to build this building because of it being built in a residential area. We have made all the changes that the City of Charlotte has asked us to do but for some reason, they are taking their time to give us the permits to start building. I have asked God to help me to not be frustrated because we should have been able to start on our building already. They just keep saying any day now, WE WILL GET THE PERMITS!! We are just so excited that soon we will finally have our own place to organize our missions better. Right now, we have raised over $100,000.00 and it is all because of your love and faithfulness to see us have a nice place to run our missions out of in the States. Be sure to go on our website or face book on a regular basis, because as soon as we are able to start, we will be posting pictures and updates. Please just keep agreeing with us that they will release the permits and that we start in the next week.
Pastors Darey & Karen Jolley
