Several have called and asked why I stopped sending out my Friday emails after all these years.  Well, it’s because of all the spam rules that apply to those who are mailing out thousands of emails per week.  But I’m still responding to those who write or call just like always.  In fact, the time I’m saving now by posting my weekly newsletter directly on our website instead of sending out individual emails with a link to the website  is helping me get caught up on my prayer request responses for the first time in many years.  By freeing up those approximately 10 hours each Friday, it’s having  beneficial effect on my whole week.  Now I’m often able to respond to you within the very hour you post a prayer request.  That’s progress!  And that is important.  This change is good although it’s taking me a bit of getting used to doing things differently after all these years.  July will be my 20th anniversary in ministry, my how time flies!!

My phone is almost always on, but of course I can’t answer if I’m in a service.  I only return calls from the US, so if you’re contacting me from overseas, instant message or email works best,  and you’ll get a quick response from me.  If you need a private response, that’s no problem, I’m not here for just “everyone else”, I’m here for YOU individually.

I’m taking this opportunity to tell you, we really need our ministry’s motor home up and running again so I can be back out on the road where I belong, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, encouraging, teaching, and helping the sick receive their healing.  I’ve searched far and wide for a new or rebuilt engine. We need an 1984-86 BMW 524TD turbodiesel engine.  If you happen to know where there is a good one, please let me know.  Otherwise, we need another motor home. Ours has 179,000 miles on it, and it has served the Kingdom of God well through the 15 years we’ve had it, although with many breakdowns along the way.  I’m telling you this so you are aware of the ministry’s needs in order for us to be able to serve you better.  Many have prophesied through the years that God is going to give our ministry a new motor home, paid for, and we are looking forward in faith to that event.  We covet your prayers concerning this need.  We love you exceedingly and really appreciate those who have chosen to help this ministry with prayers and financial support.  God bless!  And keep watching the website!

Hopefully you are used to looking on our site every Friday for our latest post.  As of last week, I will not be mailing out individual emails by the thousands to those on our mailing list, as the rules for email are getting more stringent by the day.  By using Mail Chimp and doing the newsletter as a blog, it eliminates spam, keeps our mailing list current and hopefully will help more people to receive it.  If I make additional posts during the week, you will get them.   I hope you will pass the word onto your friends, who can come to our site and opt in to receive the newsletters.  Take time to look around on our site, I have written HUNDREDS of articles that are sure to help you.  Your comments are invited.

We are here 24/7 to serve you and when you send a prayer request to me, I will IMMEDIATELY pray for it, day or night.  And of course you can always call me.  Jenny and I are full-time ministers, not part-time.  This is what we do, plus we travel to minister wherever the LORD sends us.  If you would like us to minister at your conference, church, or group, just contact us.  We’re here for YOU!

Due to computer problems and corrupted backup files and loss of our address book, for the first time in years I may not get our email newsletter out today. But my weekly article WILL BE posted here on the website as usual.
If you want our weekly newsletter, please go on our Prayer Request page and leave your email address, as I may have to rebuild the list again from scratch. Your prayers concerning this problem are appreciated v

As I get time, I will be posting some of my sermons on the site for download in MP3 format.  You can download the teachings for free, you can get them instantly, plus it saves us the time of making CDs and the postage to send them.  Of course, you can still get the CDs and tapes.

Jerry will be the speaker for the evening services at Campmeeting 2010 July 2-4th at Cortland, New York, see website for details: www.reigningone.org   Pastor Don Evans is the host.  Ya’ll come!

The Word of God is flowing free, the camping is free, the food is free, so you have no excuse not to be there!

A love offering will be taken at each service.

*note, the campmeeting has been extended another day, ending evening of July 5th, unless the Lord extends it longer. Jerry will again be the main speaker.

JESUS BORE MY CANCER
By Jerry Baysinger

Not feeling well I took a trip to see the doctor man.
He checked me out and told me, Son, I’ll help you all I can,
But things don’t look so good, I fear, and so I say to you
My best advice is find a church and see what God can do.

The doctor told me something that I didn’t want to hear,
Words that shook me to the core, the end was very near.
My married life had just begun, and we had things to do
A loving wife, a happy home, were fading out of view.

I took the Doctor’s good advice, and went to church to see
If God would do what he could not, and make a way for me;
The Lord said  simply,  “Ask of Me, and surely you’ll receive
A pardon and a cure for you, and all those who believe.”

I wonder now, how many folks have heard the “cancer” word
Whose hopes have fled away from them just like a frightened bird
Who didn’t know that Jesus came to set the captives free,
From cancer’s hold from days of old, He came for you and me.

Jesus bore my cancer, and now I’m here to say,
Jesus is my Healer, I found a better way!
No more disease or sickness, or sin for me to bear,
I took it to the cross, my friend, and left it laying there!

Jesus is the Healer, I’ll say it once again
Don’t give up hope, don’t be a dope
Don’t waste your life and then,
Wish you had listened to me, like others often do,
Jesus bore my cancer, and……….
 He’ll do the same for you.
