We will never forget what it was like in those first few days of this ministry to go to the mailbox and actually find something there. We were overwhelmed that God had spoken to people to partner with us in what He has called us to do. From that time on, we began to seek the Lord for ways to bless you, our partners. Over a year ago, He began speaking to us about a way to bring the Word to you. This month The Legacy Letter is born. You need to know that it is born out of our desire to express how much we love and appreciate you. The partners of Pearsons Ministries International are more than just names on a list. We’re a family. And like any family that is separated by miles, state lines, or even oceans; we have to do what it takes to stay in touch with each other. Never in the history of man have there been more ways for people to communicate: e-mail, video chat, text messages, Facebook, Twitter, and the list goes on. But you have to admit, there is still something cool about walking out to the mailbox and finding something other than junk mail, something addressed to you from someone who loves you. We wanted to give back to you a little of the joy you give us each time we pick up the mail and find a letter from you. The Legacy You may have heard us say this before, but we believe that there are two kinds of legacies: the one you keep and the one you leave. We are passionate about both. We are determined to hold fast to the revelation of the Word that we have received from the generation that has gone before us. These men and women got a hold of a revelation of Jesus that changed their lives and, subsequently, our lives forever. And we believe that our generation and the ones that follow are in need of the same Jesus. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is Jesus for every generation. The Letter But The Legacy Letter is more than just printed words on pages. Paul said it like this: “Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read just by looking at you. Christ Himself wrote it—not with ink, but with God’s living Spirit; not chiseled into stone, but carved onto human lives—and we publish it” (2 Corinthians 3:2,3 Message). We pray that the truth you receive through this publication will have a lasting impact on you; and we pray that anyone who looks at you will see that Jesus Himself has written the story of your life. Partners, thank you for preaching Jesus with us all over the world. We’re all in this together. We love you. Him We Preach, Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons 06 My favorite nesting project was the farmhouse table that we to feed on His faithfulness by taking communion together.

The next morning Justus woke up perfectly fine, no sign of a fever! The amazing thing was we found out a Song of Solomon 2:4 says, “He brought me to His banqueting week later that Justus had been exposed to a highly contagious table, and His banner over me was love.” Can you imagine being illness that broke out in our community.
