Hello Dear Ones,

Truly the earth is filled with His glory and Spring is a new season of life bursting out all over. The dark wood of the winter trees come alive as they start to bud with green leaves cracking through the seemingly lifeless bark. The flowers break through the crusted soil and blossom in incredible colors. Their fragrance permeates the air. The songs of the birds echo in our hearts. Oh, glorious God we worship YOU!

And so it is with our lives, there are seasons of drought, when many of our dreams look like the winter trees, cold and dead. When Jesus died on the cross, it looked like it was all over. Fear and sorrow possessed Christ’s followers. But three days later, the One who said, “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE,” proved exactly that! He triumphed over death and the grave. The angel said, “He is not here, He is risen.”

Our God is a God of new beginnings. “Behold, I will do a new thing; now, it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” He will wash away the soil that buried our dreams and breathe new life into our visions, because… it’s not over.

The desires we had in our youth, that seemed to be born in us, they have been implanted in our spirit by the Lord. They are something unique and special that shape the direction of our lives; they are to be nurtured and revived. Dream again. “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.”

Scientists are discovering daily the multitude of complexities in creation. There are one hundred billion stars in our galaxy and two hundred billion galaxies in our universe; and God calls them by their name! And yet, one of the translations in our Bible reads, “In His goodness He chose to make us His own children, by giving us His true Word. And we, out of all creation, became His choice possession!”

A couple of weeks ago one of our Pastors spoke on the “Butterfly Effect”, and after the service, a sweet gal with a great smile on her face, came up to me with arms outstretched for hugs and said, “Two years ago I never missed one of your Bible studies that you and Sharon taught on Joyce Meyer’s “Battlefield Of The Mind”. It was life transforming for me; and now because of the “butterfly effect”, I’m teaching it here at church every Thursday night.”

The story I want to share with you just happened. It was time to have my air conditioner serviced. The young man that came was about twenty. His name is Chad. I had prayed before he arrived that the Lord would give me the privilege of sharing Christ’s love with him. And before I knew it the Holy Spirit was speaking to his heart and moving mightily in his life. He prayed so beautifully with me to receive Jesus and to make Him his Lord. After I prayed for him, I learned he had a Bible and had gone a few times to Calvary Church with his parents. I gave him some material including a little Billy Graham booklet “Steps to Peace With God”. I showed Chad where he could sign his name and the date that he became a Christian. He immediately sat down at the table and signed it. After tears, hugs and a kiss on the cheek, we parted.

WE ARE A TEAM, YOU AND I, SERVING OUR GLORIUS GOD TOGETHER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION, LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS. GOD BLESS YOU!

Lovingly in Jesus,

Georgia Lee

Hello Dear Ones,

This is the month we celebrate the greatest act of LOVE in human history! GOD THE SON, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, holy and sinless, the one who said He had the power to summons legions of angels, gave the supreme sacrifice for our sins on a Roman cross. Isaiah solemnly prophesied, “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows…He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isa.53:4,5 (NIV) “He would rather go to hell for you, than go to heaven without you.” (And the Angels Were Silent) Oh, love is beyond what man can define; for love is immortal and God’s gift is divine.
However, death could not defeat Him, hell could not keep Him and the grave could not hold Him! He is risen! He is risen indeed! But before that, the resurrection was only a prophecy in the word of God; that only a portion of the religious leaders believed. The Pharisees held to the doctrine that “On the last day” the resurrection of believers would occur; the Sadusees did not.

You and I from childhood, have celebrated Easter in one form or another and we have become very familiar with the word resurrection; but not so in Christ’s day. Let us “flash back” to the scene after the death of Lazarus, when Jesus came to Martha and spoke with her in the midst of the Jewish mourners. He said, “Thy brother shall rise again.” And then He made the incredible statement, ‘I AM the resurrection and the Life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And he that believes in me shall never die.” Even Martha, when He asked if she believed that, after answering, “Yes Lord: I believe you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world;” the scripture records, “After saying these things, she went her way and secretly called her sister, saying, The Teacher has come and is calling for you.”

Neither she, nor Mary, nor the disciples could actually wrap their minds around the fact that GOD THE SON was living in their midst. No more than we can fully comprehend the fact, that through His death and resurrection we have had sins forgiven, become CHILDREN OF GOD, and are seated with Him in the heavenlies.

Yes, He is the Son of God. He is the Resurrection and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Him. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son and Jesus so loved, that He paid the ultimate price to redeem us. “Love so amazing, Love so Divine.”

Among the many activities of this month I had the joy of helping with the Passover Service at our church. We remembered that before the Lord delivered His people out of their bondage in Egypt, He spelled out the power of the blood of the spotless lamb, to cover them so the angel of death would pass over them.

There are stories, but one I want to share with you, is a phone call I received at 5:45 AM a few days ago. A lady from my childhood, with whom I attended grade school, somehow got my phone number and wanted to reach me. She told me that her husband, a boy I knew growing up, had died. She was grieving. As we talked she told me how he passed away, including having the priest give him his “last rites.” She asked me to pray for her. As I was praying, the Holy Spirit revealed to me, she didn’t know Christ. I stopped in the middle of my prayer, and told her of His love and asked if she wanted to receive Jesus as her Savior? She said, ”Yes,” and so we prayed together. Again, out of death, came life.

Oh, how I thank God for your vital part of this ministry. God bless you!

“We will glorify the King of Kings. We will glorify the Lamb. We will glorify the Lord of Lords, who is the great I AM.”

Hello Dear Ones,

This letter I must write about Prayer.

First of all Thank You for praying for my eye surgery. The purpose for the operation, was to scrape off quite a large calcium deposit that had formed on my cornea. It took a little over an hour. I was totally conscious and was amazed that though I felt no pain, because of the anesthetic, I could feel the doctor digging, tugging and pulling out the calcium. , When he had finished he told me there would be severe pain for several days. As the anesthetic wore off it began, but after I left the hospital and returned home, the day after the surgery the pain was completely gone! Praise God for the incredible POWER OF PRAYER!

I wrote you that the day of February the 29th I would be praying for each one of you and your family’s needs. Many of you called or wrote notes with your prayer requests, thank you. I would like to hear what God is doing and how He is moving in your lives.

Jesus made this astounding statement to His disciples,
“Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”. And then went on to say, “Therefore I say unto you, What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11-22b,23,24 Can we really fathom the power that’s available to us?

I am reminded of when my late husband Ralph and I were young Christians and sponsored the College Dept. at Hollywood Presby. Church. We had the privilege of sitting under the teaching of Dr. Henrietta Mears. This magnificent woman of God taught us the power of God’s Word. God spoke, “Let there be light and there was light.” He spoke all things into existence by His Word. He has told us He has given us the power to speak those things that are not as though they are. The power of life and death is in the tongue. When David was going to fight Goliath, he ran toward him confessing the Word and declaring out loud the victorious outcome of the battle. “So shall my Word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” “The Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Abraham Lincoln said about the Bible, “This book is God’s greatest gift to man.” We are not to read the Bible just like a devotional book, though it’s truly that, but also like an “instruction manual from God”. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

“If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.” “Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

A friend asked me to pray for a lady who had pain in her shoulder and neck. When I finished praying, I asked how she was feeling? She said she felt warmth flowing all through that area. She was healed! I prayed again, thanking God for His healing, grace and love. Oh, love is beyond what man can define; for love is immortal and God’s gift is divine.

How can I ever thank you for YOUR LOVE, PRAYERS AND FAITHFUL SUPPORT. I AM SO GRATEFUL! I PRAY GOD’S BLESSINGS WILL COME ON YOU AND OVERTAKE YOU.

My love and deep gratitude in Christ,

Georgia Lee

Hello Dear Hearts,

This is the month that we are always more aware of love. We celebrate Valentine’s Day, which is symbolized by a heart. We take this time to communicate our love in a special way to our loved ones. After all, isn’t “communication the key to nurturing love?” Here we are, created by God, to love and be loved. He has put that desire deep within each one of our hearts. And so we search to fill that longing, that vacuum. The rich and the famous have gained everything the world has to offer and yet for some, there is still that hunger, that indescribable missing something.

Let’s talk about LOVE. GOD IS LOVE.

He spoke the billions of galaxies into existence. On this earth, He created man in His own image. How in the world could we know this great God and make contact with Him? He spoke to chosen ones like Abraham and Moses and prophets of old; and performed miracles so we could believe Him for His works. But still we needed more. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And the Word was God… And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father…”

Jesus, the master communicator, revealed the loving Father and demolished the chasm of sin that separated us from our Holy God. “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins…” “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down His life for His friends…” At His death, the veil of the holy of holies was rent from top to bottom, giving us access to a one on one communication with our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus has opened the door for us to have fellowship with Him—to enter into the secret place of the Most High God. We need to put Him first in our lives and spend time worshiping and praising Him, basking in the presence of His love. “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that you may be rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints… the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.”

I wrote you in my last letter, that the 29th of this month I would be devoting the whole day to pray for each one of you, who have been a part of this ministry; to lift up every need of yours and of your family.

I also have a prayer request. The 5th day of March I’m having surgery on my left eye. Because of the trouble I’ve had with it for the past three years, there has formed a large calcium deposit over the cornea, which must be scrapped off. Thank you for praying.

One of the stories I’d like to briefly share is about Rebecca. She was lost in her anguish and pain. She had no hope for the future. Anger and unforgiveness consumed her. As she poured out her heart to me, we discovered the root of her bitterness and consequently were able to deal with it. As we talked of Christ’s healing Word she was able to surrender the hatred she had harbored so long and instead received the matchless Love of Jesus.

THANK YOU PRECIOUS ONES, WHO CONTINUE TO MINISTER WITH ME ON MAUI. MAY GOD SO ABUNDANTLY BLESS YOU!

Gratefully in Christ,

Georgia Lee

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”  Isaiah 43:19

Hello Dear Hearts,

Yes, the Lord is doing a NEW THING and we do know it.  We are living in a new age, with the explosion of knowledge prophesied by the Lord, the Gospel is being preached in an unprecedented way. Satellite, satellite dishes, the computer- internet, smart phones, Droid, iPads, everything everywhere God is using to proclaim His love through Jesus Christ.  He is making a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.  He is reaching those who have never heard the name of Jesus.

The Jesus Film, as of this date, has been translated into 1121 languages.  The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s project “My Hope” is using an innovative way with television in individual’s homes. It’s “one on one evangelism,” in Africa, Latin America and Asia. They are reaching millions around the world.  The exceloration of spreading the Gospel is mind boggling.

We are actually witnessing prophecy unfolding before our eyes. And just as my slogan on my letterhead is, “winning the world for Jesus, one person at a time”.

I would like to share the adapted version of Loren Eiseley’s “The Star Thrower”

An old man had a habit of early morning walks on the beach. One day, after a storm, he saw a human figure in the distance moving like a dancer. As he came closer he saw that it was a young woman and she was not dancing but was reaching down to the sand, picking up a starfish and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

“Young lady”, he asked, “Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?”

“The sun is up, and the tide is going out, and if I do not throw them in they will die.”

“But young lady, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You cannot possibly make a difference.”

The young woman listened politely, paused and then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the water, past the breaking waves, saying: “It made a difference to that one.”

The old man looked at the young woman inquisitively and thought about what she had done. Inspired, he joined her in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.

And so it is with the Kingdom of God, each one of us is called to make a difference.  Some sow seed, some water, some prune, but all share in the harvest.  “Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord…”  I would like to challenge you to start off this new year doing one new thing.  Perhaps there’s something you’ve thought about doing, but haven’t gotten around to it.  There is need everywhere.

One of the new things I am going to do, is take the whole day of February the 29th, (leap year) and spend it in prayer for each one of you, individually, who have been involved with me in this ministry. I am going to pray for your family and the needs you may have.  If you want to drop me a note for a special prayer request so that I may pray more specifically please do.

A ninety year old man, who had lost most of his vision and hearing, listened intently as I shared with him the love of Christ; and as he prayed to receive Jesus, I saw a fresh light come into his face, a new zest for living and a smile a mile wide.

My heart is overflowing with praise and gratitude for YOU.  I pray this year will be a year of new beginnings, God’s Blessings and Favor in every area of your life.

In Christ’s Love,

Georgia Lee

Hello Dear Hearts,

For four hundred years the people of Israel had heard nothing from God.  And then — silence was shattered by the supernatural visitation of angels!  Gabriel appeared to Zacharias in the temple, then to Mary.  The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream; and on the night of Jesus’ birth the angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds tending their flocks.  “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

The angels brought more than a glimmer of hope into a dark world, it was hope personified. “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a SAVIOUR, who is Christ the Lord.” “Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King; peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! “

There is no way we can wrap our minds around

the most incredible event in human history,

when God, the Word, became flesh, a baby.

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt

among us, and we beheld his glory,

the glory as of the only begotten

of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

And though the world is in chaos, and hopelessness rules in the hearts of men, “Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”

He came on that night of nights to deliver us.  “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” So when the circumstances seem to overwhelm us

and the trials and tribulations come upon us, we stand firm on the eternal word of God, “For thou art my hope, O Lord God, thou art my trust from my youth.”  “My hope comes from the Lord.”

As we celebrate the Gift of all gifts, from our Heavenly Farther, I want to thank you for answering His call on our lives together.  I praise God for your faithfulness through prayer and giving as we minister here on the Islands.  You have made it possible for many to come to Christ.  “The Lord has anointed me (us) to preach glad tidings to the meek; He hath sent me (us) to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” Isaiah 61:1  “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shown toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”

And so with prophecies being fulfilled before our eyes, we anticipate “Our blessed hope,”  “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  To an inheritance incorruptible and that fadeth not away,  reserved in heaven for you.”

And with a thankful heart I want to wish you and your loved ones a very special, loving, joy filled Christmas and Holiday Season.

With so much love and appreciation,

Georgia Lee
