Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers in Christ,

Today as I write this prayer letter to you, I’m praising God for His faithfulness and wonderful grace. This year, 2020, marked 36 years for Hand to the Plow Ministries. The enemy of our souls has tried to destroy this work many times, but we go on by God’s grace. Our original burden and ministry was to go to local churches to do a concert and bring God’s Word. After a year of this, I saw the need for revival and the way that God wanted to bring it about. I believe the best revival verse in the Bible is 2 Chron. 7:14. Since that time we have preached, and shared by the written word, messages refuting a watered down Gospel (Gal. 1:8,9), messages on what it means to truly be filled with the Holy Spirit, messages on the warfare of the saints, messages on real revival as opposed to hype and emotion, and many other topics.

You probably noticed that we haven’t been sending out many letters lately. You will begin receiving from us a letter about every three weeks. These letters will be concerning such topics as: The Rapture, The Rebuilding of the Temple, The Antichrist, The Two Witnesses, and The Tribulation. I am sending you these messages not as hype for this ministry, but as a final warning, and as a command and burden from God, that all of us are going to need to know the truth as opposed to the fables most of us have been taught and continue to believe today. Christian, you need to know and stand on truth. Lies cannot save, but only give a temporary sense of peace. For the sake of your families, the church, even our country, be in prayer about these messages, and prayerfully read and think through them.

Once again, we will be going against the flow of the modern watered-down teaching which is so popular. As the apostle Paul warned in his second epistle to Timothy (2 Timothy 4:1-5): I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Those who want their ears tickled will not make it through what is coming, but those of you who thirst for truth, God will guide you, and you won’t need to be afraid. The upcoming articles are the culmination of years of study, and I promise you they will be based squarely on God’s Holy word.

Please keep us in your prayers for the following:

1. the upcoming letters/messages
2. that more churches would open their doors
3. other avenues of ministry, including internet
4. guidance and wisdom
5. provision for our needs

If any of you have a prayer request please don’t hesitate to call us. It is our privilege.
Keep looking to Jesus and not Man. He’s coming back soon. Are YOU ready? Praise the Lord!
Your fellow servant for Jesus,

Jim
