Greeting Friends & Supporters:

A message from Bro. Tolbert:

In Romans 8:29, it states that the church is predestined to be conformed to the image of God's Son. Romans 12:2 teaches for us not to be conformed to this world, because the true shekel of the sanctuary is Christ. Can the world truly see the image of Christ in us, or is our image conformed to this world?

Jesus, being questioned by the religious rulers who were seeking to find fault in Him, asked about taxes paid to Caesar. Jesus asked for a Roman coin and then said, "Whose image is this?" They answered, "Caesar's." Jesus said, "Render unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar, and unto God, the things of God."

Whose image do we bear: Christ's or Caesar's? The church must be brought back periodically to God of the sanctuary and compare our lives to Him. Has the passing of time caused us to be worn down?  has the freshness of our relationship with Christ been lost? Check yourselves against the shekel of the sanctuary, Jesus Christ. Has your religious experience become dry and dull, or even boring? if so, run back to the sanctuary. 

The price of redemption does not increase with a deeper depth of sin that one may find themselves in. Man can never obtain nor conform to Christ's Deity , but a person can be conformed to his humanity. As he was in the flesh, so must His church be in the present. He moved and ministered not in the power of His Deity, but in the power of the Holy Ghost. Therefore it is not only possible, but mandatory, that the true church be full of the Holy Ghost. Then will be fulfilled the words of Jesus, "The works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

The mission work continues in the Philippines, supporting pastors and building churches, with the most recent church built this year in Mindoro for Bro. G. Brigole. Also, the supporting of seven mission outreaches around this world, and the support of two ministers here in the States continues. Bro. Tolbert and I continue to travel and preach when we can. Age has a way of slowing us down. Thank you so much for supporting Trumpet Ministries; we would not be able to do what we do without your help.

May  God  bless  you  and  keep  you  is  our  prayer.  

                                                             Love,

                                                                    David & Judy Tolbert

   P.S. We are still mailing out CD's of Bro. Tolbert's messages every other month.
