_December 17, 2011 - The setting for this years Christmas Party took us back to the beginning - at the Bridgepointe Hotel.   There was enough food to feed us all for the next 3 days.  Everyone did a great job and the place was decorated nicely for Christmas.   Diamond did a great job singing "Mary Did You Know" and Jennifer moved elegantly in her dance to the Lord.  We had a special appearance of "Roy" followed by Kathy and Jonathon performing a Christmas Mesh.  Pastor Ron finished it off by reading the Christmas story to the little ones who listened attentively.  Merry Christmas to you all and may 2012 be your brightest ever as you draw closer to God.

_December 4, 2011 World Wide Church Without Walls performs at Breath of God International Outreach Church, New Bern, North Carolina. Music by Casting Crowns.  The darkness will try to chain you, bind you, and hold you back from what Jesus has for you.  Today you can be set free.  Have you asked?

_December 1, 2011 World Wide Church Without Walls Teens perform at Breath of God Church in New Bern, North Carolina.  Music by Jeremy Camp.  God gives us free will and we are not puppets but He will give us direction if we ask.  Asking Him to take your life is the first step.  Have you asked?

_Breath of God Church celebrates Pastors Ron and Brenda Estes and Youth Pastor Jonathon Giummule.  Pastor Ron's flags have found their way home.  Words and gratuities can never express our appreciation for their love and time.

_Sunday November 20th - Pastor Appreciation Day. We honored Pastors Ron and Brenda Estes with mime, dance and flags. They may never know the true value of their ministry until they get to heaven - God will have a special mansion for them both.

_The Steven Family ministers through mime.  They bring to life songs relevant to our culture and lives.  They really show you their heart for God and His people.

_On August 8-25, 2011 the Breath of God International Outreach Uganda Ministry team, Ron Estes, Frank Segreto and Josh Bolafka, traveled to Uganda, Africa to minister. We walked into the Book of Acts and ministered in Acts 10:38. The Lord moved in powerful ways with thousands of salvation's, healing's, signs, wonders and miracles. Testimonies are coming in from the villages and cities we ministered in during this time. Reports of churches and pastors on heavenly fire and continuing the ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the evidence of signs, wonders and miracles. We have compiled a short video of our Uganda trip to the music of Jonathan David Helser's song "I have seen the I AM" from his album The Awakening available on ITUNES.

Let us the church arise - let this continue to stir in our spirits as the team heads out to Uganda.

What an incredible trip this was! The team of Boyd & Jane Stokes, Gary & Telia Galloway, and Patrick Bucksot, had the opportunity to see the hand of God move throughout the region of southeast India. They ministered in outdoor events and small churches. The team finished the trip with a Pastor's Conference, with over 400 pastors in attendance, many of whom traveled far to attend.

The people of India are starved for the love of God, yet look for Him through the worship of thousands of gods. They are eager to hear about yet another "god." The challenge is to get them to "forsake all other gods" and serve the Living God only. But they listened attentively to the messages brought by our team.

Poverty abounds, and domestic abuse is rampant. Orphans have nowhere to go, and are frequently exploited.

Our host, Pastor Lanka Karunakus Das, in addition to overseeing more than 200 pastors and their churches in Southeast India, operates two orphanages, a K-12 school (although it is structured after the British model), and continues the education through the first two years of college. He accepts no money from the India government, which frees him from the restrictions against teaching about Jesus. He provides bus transportation for the children in the area, and many of the students are from Hindu families. 

Pastor Lanka, formerly a high-powered attorney, built the orphanages and the school with his own money, but now relies on prayerful and financial support from others as well. The need is great. There are many more orphans needing food and shelter, more abuse victims and abusers needing the life-changing blood of Jesus. In India, indeed:
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matt.9:37-38)
