Not Ashamed Of The Work Of God

My Friend,

Many times in his letters to the churches, Paul, without shame not only asked them for their financial support, but reminded them of their responsibility to give to God's work. Having received the fruits of God's blessings, he taught them they had an obligation to give back to God so others could be reached with the same message of hope they had found.

Paul didn't hold telethons, didn't sell advertising, rent the names of his donors to other religious groups, market products, or give "love gifts," he simply reminded people of their responsibility to give to God's work and asked them to pray about what to give and than give according to their ability to give.

So it is with Liveprayer. Several times each month I come to you and share the financial need to encourage you to give back to God a portion of what He has entrusted to you so that others can be reached with the hope of the Gospel.

Because of your faithfulness, this "last-days" work God has raised up has seen over 55,000 people we know of come to know Christ as their Savior, we have over 1.2 million praise reports archived, we are able to send personal responses to over 40,000 incoming prayer requests each day, share the truth of God's Word with over 1.9 million people worldwide every day thought the Daily Devotional, and reach a 95% non-Christian audience 5 nights a week on the "live" TV program on the UPN network. YOUR PRAYERS, YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, MAKES ALL OF THAT POSSIBLE.

As you know, it takes $30,000, or $1,000 a day to operate the Internet side of the ministry. Even though we are 11 days into the month, we still have $26,400 to go. Please take a moment right now, and pray about what God is asking you to give to help me make sure our budget is met this month. God may be asking you to give $10 or $20. He may be asking you to give $50 or $100. He may be asking you to give $200, $500, or even $1,000. The amount is not the issue, it is your obedience to give as He leads.

Also, the monthly television budget of $40,000 has been met these past 12 months by many key people with a vision for taking the hope of Christ directly to people via secular television in a way that has never been done before. We still have to cover the last week of this month which is $10,000. Please pray about making a one-time gift to cover all or half of this need.

Now more than ever I need your support. Many people who lacked the vision for the spiritual state of our nation were very upset about what I wrote this week. Sadly, they could only see the issue as a political one and have withdrawn their support of Liveprayer. That is between them and God. I get people all the time upset with something I wrote tell me they will no longer support the work here. I simply remind them that they are not giving to Bill Keller, they are giving to God and His work. So please send your very best gift to help me today.

I love you and care about you very much. I am encouraged, and challenged by these times we are living in. I will continue to do my very best each day to help encourage those who know Christ in their daily walk, and reach out to the lost and hurting with the only hope there is. YOU allow me to be here each day to do that.

May the Lord richly bless you and your family as we stand together for HIS KINGDOM!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
