When I was praying about this letter, the Lord spoke to me and said, “Tell my people to finish the year strong! Tell them that how they finish the year will determine how they start the new year.” All you need to do is just end the year in faith & obedience. Because of your faithfulness in the past, I know that you are a kind and caring person! So I am asking you to pray about what God wants you to do to “finish the year strong.” Here are some things you could do: 1) Pay your one-time gift pledge 2) Pay on your monthly pledge 3) Give an extra one-time gift for Israel 4) Give a non-cash gift like: stocks, bonds, land, a building, jewelry, or a vehicle 5) Inquire about investing with Daystar in a Charitable Gift Annuity 6) Contact our Estate Planning Department about including Daystar in your Will I believe you will pray and ask the Lord what you should do! (So thank you in advance.) Joni & I just came back from ministering internationally for Pastor Brian Houston at Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, Pastor Joseph Prince at New Creation Church in Singapore and Pastor Kong Hee at City Harvest Church in Singapore. We will be showing the tapes of these services in a few weeks as specials on Daystar. Joni & I, and the entire Lamb Family of: Jonathan, Suzy & little Israel, and Rachel & Rebecca love and appreciate you very much! We ask you to pray daily for our family and for Daystar. P.S.
