Thanks for Your Remarkable Teamwork!
Dear Friends,
Thanks so much for being a part of this ministry with Susan and me. This month we have some exciting messages to share with you, including one called “The Impossible is Totally Possible.” But first, I’d like to give you a quick update on what is happening here at Tom Shanklin Ministries.
We have been experiencing the presence of God in a fresh way in our meetings here in the U.S. People are coming to the Lord, experiencing His healing power, and receiving His love and comfort. We know that the multitudes thronged Jesus to receive deliverance and a healing touch. But thank God, we can still receive a touch from the Lord today. The Holy Spirit is active and ready to go. We just need to cooperate with Him. I am expecting this year to be a time when the glory of God is revealed in fresh new ways. As a result, I am anticipating that we will see astounding miracles that will give glory to Jesus Christ. I want to encourage you to also expect God to move in a powerful way in your life and ministry,
Touching Nepal and India
In February, we were able to purchase 500 additional copies of the Nepalese translation of my book, You Can Touch the World. The books are being distributed and are bringing forth fruit at this time.
We also have an open door to haveYou Can Touch the World translated into several of the languages of India, including Hindi and Telugu. Please pray with us for God’s will, His timing, and His provision for these potential projects.
Last year, with the help of our partners, we also provided monthly support to start a new church with a vision to be an outreach center to Asia. Here’s a note from the pastor in Hyderabad, India:
“We want to thank God for you, Bro. Tom and Sis. Susan and Tom Shanklin Ministries for trusting us and encouraging us in the church planting work. God has done some great things in our church this past year. We are so grateful to God and thankful to God for your support which helped us to start up. In the one year that we started, God has helped us to send other missionaries from Living Word Community Church. God willing, a person from our fellowship will be starting another church in the city next year. We are equipping him. We were able to start a feeding program once in a week for the people in a street home. Three of them have accepted the Lord and God willing soon two of them will be taking water baptism. We are working on equipping and preparing the church for the work of the ministry and encouraging them that none of us in the church are called for the “SITTING MINISTRY.”
Touching the World
We continue to receive testimonies from ministers that are using our book, You Can Touch the World. Here’s one I just received from a pastor from Kenya:
Thank you so much for God’s work you are doing. I am so much blessed with your book which you send to me through my email. Chapter 11 of your book called “You Can Touch the World” it blessed me so much–Lets Unite to Reach the World, psalms 133;1-3. I have shared your book with some pastors and they really come to know that they have been living in darkness world, so am hosting 4 Days inter-denomination Conference for Pastors and Church Leaders in my Church in December 2015. Theme is from your book, “You Can Touch the World.” We are calling the conference “Unite to Reach the World.
Internet Ministry
If you haven’t had a chance recently, please take a few minutes to visit Our Website. We have a new look and a lot of fresh content. We have begun a new series of Podcasts on the website. We will be adding more podcasts in the near future so be sure and Subscribe to Our Podcast through iTunes. Think of a podcast as a radio broadcast on the internet. You can listen to them on your computer, tablet or smartphone. You can download podcasts, too, and listen to them when you are away from an internet connection. It is a very powerful global tool of ministry which gives us another way to fulfill our mission to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” Our recent podcasts and articles are below. Take a few minutes to check them out.
Thank you, dear friends and partners, for helping us to reach the United States and the nations of the world with this glorious Good News through your prayers, encouragement and financial support. It’s so exciting to see the results in people’s lives as the Good News is proclaimed. You are continually in our hearts and prayers.
Great blessings to you!
Tom Shanklin
