OUR SHIP HAS BEEN RESCUED!

October 1, 2010

Dear Friends,

I want to share the financial miracle that took place this week with all our friends. On Monday I wrote that our ship had taken a bad financial hit and we needed help right away. We cried out to God in our morning staff meeting to use our appeal for help and He did so in mighty way. In fact, help began to arrive less than 24 hours after the SOS signal had gone out. People that we had never heard from responded along with old radio friends that I had lost contact with over the years and of course our faithful friends that sent in extra on top of what they had already given in September. In less than three days we were able to pay the rent in full, all the back bills, and a pledge came in that our estimated taxes for the last quarter will be covered. I can joyfully say the “gaping hole” in our ship has been repaired, the water has been pumped out and we are sailing to continue our battle against Satan’s kingdom.

I want to thank everyone who gave sacrificially; please accept our great gratitude for the love shown toward us. I know most people don’t have extra money at the end of the month and this in itself was a miracle that so many responded and were able to give. I also know there are some who read the appeal and did not have the funds to give but made to decision to pray for us. Thank you very much. We covet your prayers. Once again, thank you for putting the Old Gospel Ship back into battle.

To God be the glory!

Yours in Christ, 

John S. Torell
