Liebe Freunde in Christus,

MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS.

The enclosed message, "The Ministry of Beholding His Face," was born out of lessons learned through the loss of our thirteen-year-old granddaughter, Tiffany, to brain cancer. God has once again proven himself most faithful. He has supplied us with strength and peace in the midst of sorrow.

I want to thank those who have sent charitable gifts designated for our widows' fund. Without a single appeal for money toward this ministry, many have been led by the Holy Spirit to send gifts. I can assure you that every dollar sent to this ministry designated for this fund will be used only for the outreach to widows, single moms and their children.

We are about to go to press with THE VISION AND BEYOND, a prophetic book I authored in 1974, foretelling of coming events. I reread the manuscript again this morning and was amazed by the fulfillment of most of the prophecies. I have included prophecies from three other of my prophetic books. All proceeds from this book will go to the widows' fund.

Until we find a suitable apartment house, we are renting apartments in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. Also, we are paying back rent for widows who are about to be evicted onto the streets. We are using funds already sent to us for these needy expenses.

I can't explain how thrilling it is to be God's hand in such a ministry as this. This is not a fundraiser on my part. I received this burden while on my face, weeping, when I was reading Matthew 25. In further searching God's Word, I found that he truly is a father to the widows and fatherless children.

I would appreciate hearing from you regarding the enclosed message. It is very encouraging to hear that the word given us is touching lives and edifying the body of Christ.

Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated. God has never failed to meet our needs when we do what is closest to his heart.

Sein Diener,
David Wilkerson
