FISHERS OF MEN Ministries International

Dear Pastor Randy & Elizabeth, Once again, Fishers
of Men Ministries has completed another fruitful year, touching the nation of Haiti
for our Lord Jesus Christ. The year 2002 has probably been one of the most
challenging years of ministry Linda and I have ever experienced. Because OJ the
economic slump in the U.S.,
we experienced monthly support deficits, causing us to become as financially
creative as possible. To put to put it bluntly, we had to suck it up and press
forward believing God for each month's budget to be met. However even in the
midst of great economic recession, our God has once again proven Himself faithful, touching the hearts of many of you to financially
give. We thank each and every one of you who have so willingly responded to His
voice and given so generously. Even in the midst of great economic pressure we
still watched our Lord use this ministry to advance the Kingdom
of God in this nation. Church on
the Rock continues to grow with four Sunday services. Morning Prayer rocks with
almost 1,000 in attendance. Our national television show aired until the
summer, when we experienced some technical difficulties but we resumed the
first of this year. The ministry did not miss a single annual outreach. Our
last year's Mardi Gras Crusade was over the top. Hundreds of national leaders
received ministry in our two annual Leadership Conferences. Over 500 women came
to our annual Women's Conference where GOD just totally blessed. Our Bible
schools graduated the 14th class and have begun the 15th
class with over 200 in attendance. Morning
Star Christian Academy
finished its 8th year and opened its 9th year with over
200 students. Our library was established; compute purchased, guest bungalows
finished and our single staff housing started. In the midst of all, God has
been so good.

As most of you know slowing down is not an option for
me. Already we have begun to look to what God wants us to accomplish in 2003.
His word to me for this year is "Breaking Free in 2003 ". We are
starting right up with teams coming down to help finish the single staff
housing. We need about $1,000 per bungalow of about $10,000 total to finish
this project. We are in the process of purchasing our own sound system for the
large crusades. This is a $17,000 project. We desperately need a 15 passenger,
van for the school and mission teams. This will be close to a $30,000 project.
As the same time, WE MUST INCREASE OUR MONTHY SUPPORT!!!

Even though this seems like a lot, we know our God is
more than able. Linda and I ask that you continue to stand with us as we
endeavor to take this nation for Jesus. If God speaks to you to plant a seed
toward these projects, or if you'd like to support us monthly, feel free to use
the self-addressed enclosed envelope to send your gift. Lind and I, along with
all the staff, want to thank you for your sacrificial support. We pray that God
continues to richly bless you and your family throughout this great year.
