Today I had lunch with one of our ministry partners and talking to him made me
so thankful for you. Let me tell you his story…
A Faithful Homeschool Student
His name is Tate Gomez. He first heard about our ministry
when he was a homeschool student in ninth grade. I was invited to speak at a
homeschool group here in Tulsa and he heard me tell stories about being raised
as a missionary in Mexico. Tate was only fourteen years old but he decided to
give a gift to help Jessica and I go preach the Gospel in India.
That first month, he sent a $20 bill in the mail to us. We
used his gift to purchase books to give to new believers in India. When we
returned home, we sent Tate a report about all the people who were saved at our
crusade in Andhra Pradesh, India. After Tate heard about the salvations in
India, he decided to support King Ministries every single month.
Tate was homeschooled. He did not have much money, but every
month he faithfully sent a gift to help us preach the Gospel. One month he sent
us a one-dollar bill scrunched up in the bottom of the envelope. Even though
his gift was small, we were extremely grateful because in our ministry every
dollar represents a soul. Over the years we have been able to lead at least one
person to Jesus for every dollar that has gone through our hands. In some
countries, our Gospel Festivals cost more than a dollar per person and in some
countries it costs less, but when all our expenses are averaged and compared
with our results, we have seen a harvest of at least one soul for every dollar
that has been given to our ministry.
As Tate grew older, he got a job and earned more money and
his giving increased. Some months he sent $20, other months he sent $40; the
biggest gift he gave was $100.
Now Tate is in his junior year at Oral Roberts University.
He is trusting God for provision to pay for college and God has been providing.
This past summer, Tate had the opportunity to go on a
mission trip with Oral Roberts University. Guess where he was sent? He went to
Andhra Pradesh, India, the very place he had sowed into seven years before. He
spent a whole month in Andhra Pradesh ministering at a camp for young people. Tate
had to raise $3,500 to go on his mission trip and God provided every dollar. I
think his first seed into our ministry became a harvest that allowed him to go
on his first mission trip.
I’m Thankful for You!
The reason Tate’s story made me think about you is because
our ministry is fully supported by individuals just like you and Tate. The
truth is that our entire ministry is supported by people who give
sacrificially. Each individual gift might be small, but when they are all added
up together, they allow us to do amazing things for God.
Over the years, we have witnessed over two million people
give their lives to Jesus at our meetings. It never would have happened without
your help and the help of dozens of others just like you.
Every gift is important. Every dollar represents a soul.
Without you, we would not be able to preach the Gospel. Thank you for your
faithful giving. It is your generosity that makes a difference and Jessica and
I are so grateful for you. You are part of an important team of people (The
MillionHeirs Club) who are helping us to reach the world for Jesus. Thank you.
Expect a Miracle in Your Life
When you give to God, you can expect God to open up doors in
your life. God will provide for you. God will give you wisdom. God will keep
you healthy. You can expect miracles from God.
I am asking God for two harvests for every seed you sow into
our ministry. The first harvest is a harvest of souls on the mission field and
the second harvest is a supernatural outpouring of God’s blessing upon your
life. You may not know it, but your giving benefits the kingdom of God and it
benefits your life too.
Going for more souls,
Daniel King
P.S. This month your gift will help me go to a country in the Middle East to preach
the Gospel. God is opening up doors for us in the Middle East to reach people that have
never heard about Jesus. But, we can’t go without your help. Can you give a
generous financial gift to help us this month?
