The Pen of Ellen White: All who work for God should have the Martha and the Mary attributes blended --a willingness to minister and a sincere love of the truth.... He calls for persevering women who will take their minds from self.... and will center them on Christ, speaking the words of truth, praying with the persons to whom they can obtain access, laboring for the conversion of souls. 2TT. 405.

Hi

TV Ministry in LA

Erica, Andrew and I have now been in LA for 10 days. As of the end of today we have shot 7 new programs for WAT, and I have preached twice for Pr Carter’s church in Arcadia.

As usual I suffered dreadful jet lag. How I wish I could travel without this common complaint. But it is a small price for the spectacular programs we are shooting here.

God has been very good to us. The weather has been perfect – up around 40 degrees every day - and the shoots have been trouble free – except I did loose my Bible on one of them – which was a bit of a disaster.

Here is a quick description of what we have done so far:

Self esteem - Venice Beach – Luke 19
Building on the Rock Jesus - Malibu and Hollywood – Matthew 7
The Trinity – Big Bear
Baptism – Big Bear
Death – Arcadia
Looking to Jesus – Longbeach – Matthew 14
Who is Jesus – Hollywood


This Sabbath I will be preaching for the third time at Arcadia. It is a really good church with a TV ministry just like ours. They have about 200 members and they support a ministry that engulfs the world with the story of Jesus. There’s is a powerful story and a great example of what we can do too!

In the next week we will be doing some of the following:

A sermon on the flood and the end of time shot at the Grand Canyon.
A sermon on gambling shot at Las Vegas.
A sermon on Jesus desire to change hearts of stone shot at Petrified Forest.
A sermon on God’s power shot at Hoover Dam.
A sermon on the goodness of God shot at Lake Mead (end of the Colorado River)

In the 20 days I am away, God willing, we will shoot 17 programs for television. This is heavy, but I thank God that we are right on schedule. I am very grateful for the financial support of one of our local church families whose generosity has made this important work for Christ possible. It’s God’s moving on the hearts of our own church members that is allowing us to shake the world with His love. Thank you for your support and keep it up – we are finishing the work!

I get the real sense as I am over here that America is genuinely struggling. Everywhere we go there is evidence of failed businesses, there are more homeless on the streets than I have ever seen here, and there is a genuine fear in the air for the future. I am travelling and working in the most powerful country in the world that is in serious decline. She is gasping for breath and I am most convinced that we are living in end times. As Australians we are the most fortunate of people. Let’s continue to pull together, to give both our finances and lives to the cause, and to take our place in the forefront of this last great battle between Jesus and Satan. What a privilege – I love being a part of it!

We miss you all and are thinking and praying for you this Sabbath. Please remember us in you prayers as we do God’s work far from home.

Warm regards
Lloyd and the WAT team in America
