Dearly Beloved:

GRACE BE TO YOU AND PEACE FROM THE LORD.

I am still quite overwhelmed by the response to my book, The New Covenant Unveiled. It is bringing freedom and joy to countless Christians who have longed to be released from the strivings of the flesh to be holy and righteous. One sister called saying, "I have been serving the Lord for many years, and I kept yearning for the secret to walking uprightly before him. My eyes were opened while reading this book, and the striving is gone. For the first time in all these years, I have a rest and peace I've never known. God be praised."

One man called to say he rushed to his pastor with this book, thinking it was error - that it sounded too good to be true. But the pastor read it and replied, "The book is right. This is biblical truth and soul freeing."

Another person wrote, "I knew when I read this book that my pastor would be greatly blessed by it. Please send ten copies. I'm going to see that other pastors in our town get a copy."

THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIAL. I BELIEVE THIS BOOK IS TRULY THAT IMPORTANT. IT IS A MESSAGE THAT WILL SET YOU FREE AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE. THAT IS, IF YOU READ IT PRAYERFULLY, AND OVER AND AGAIN ALL YEAR LONG, UNTIL YOU GET THE MESSAGE. I AM PERSONALLY ON MY FIFTH READING. THE NEW COVENANT HAS REVOLUTIONIZED MY LIFE AND MINISTRY.

The Holy Spirit is moving mightily in New York City. We have opened four additional auditoriums with jumbo screens and still can't seat all the people who come. Hundreds are being saved and baptized. The glory and presence of the Lord is manifested in our meetings. If you can ever get to New York City, please make an effort to visit us and experience what I'm talking about.

Our Sarah House ministry to women with life-controlling problems is filled to capacity. We have purchased two additional houses to accommodate the mothers and their children. One mother, saved from a life of drugs, is now restored to her five children, and they all live with us in our compound. The re-entry program for these women is very blessed. We see former homeless female addicts and alcoholics graduating from the program and getting good jobs - in health care, dentistry, and other careers. They are growing strong in the Lord.

I want to especially thank those who remember to send missions gifts to help us reach the neediest of all people. We feed and house the poor and homeless. We send our Raven food truck all over this city daily, feeding the hungry in various locations. We believe we are doing all that the Lord is leading us to do. This ministry is a righteous work and is worthy of your prayer and support.

We have never used gimmicks nor psychology to raise funds. We simply present the need, then we go to prayer - and God has never once failed us. To this day, he has met every need on time. We have never lacked - thanks to caring friends who respond to the urging and leading of the Holy Spirit, as a result of our praying.

All this week I've been much in prayer. Again, we trust him. He knows all our needs.

His bondservant,
David Wilkerson
