AUGUST 2014
Coming soon? Maranatha, come quickly, Lord!
Our friend and long time member, Linda Harrell, came to the ministry to help out this month as Jan is
away the month of July. On her smart phone she had an app (program) that issued the alerts for incoming
bombs or missiles in Israel. Each alert came with the location and the warning. Her phone would sound a certain sound with each alert, no need to answer each one. But the sound of incoming missiles in the office was
so frequent that it was unnerving to say the least. It was a constant reminder of the suffering going on in Israel.
The Lord’s land and our Christian homeland, is under severe attack.
Why is the Lord coming back? Joel 3:2 says, I will gather all nations and will bring them down
into the valley of Jehoshaphat and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel,
whom they have scattered among the nations and parted my land.
The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under
foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For
the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn
it back? Isa 14:24-27
One sign of the end of times is the leader who was wounded in the head and died and rises again.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And I saw one of his heads as it
were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast; And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is
like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Rev 13.1,3,4
Rather than this being a European, Walid Shoebat’s thesis, written in 2008, is that rather than a man in
particular, it is a government represented by a leader. Islamic empires are the entire Muslim faithful called
Ummah. They are led across the Arab states by a Caliph and the union is called the caliphate. The first Califate stated in 632 and succeeded until 1924. The last Caliphate and the office of the Caliph was abolished on
March 3, 1924. On becoming a secular republic the president of the Turkish Republic abolished the institution of the Caliphate. The office of the supreme leader was dead. A wound to the head, fatal.
But on June 29, 2014, a yearning in the hearts of all Muslims for a return of the Caliphate was answered when ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) declared a new caliphate. They named their own leader as
the Kahlifah (Caliph). This is Caliph the Mahdi. The wound has been healed and he rises again. Now we see
prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes. Israel is God’s concern! Christians are being beheaded and are
even now under the altar crying out, How long oh Lord, how long do you not judge and avenge our blood!
Christians are being crucified, they are being raped and murdered; they are being tortured; they are being sold;
their lands and goods confiscated, just like in Hitler’s time. All the while the world and other Christians continue eating and drinking and making merry, giving no thought to the struggles of brethren. Are you for dividing the Lord’s land? If you are you are not on the Lord’s side!
These are all signs that our redemption draws near. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we know
not the day or the hour, the dead in Christ will rise and we which are alive and remain will be caught up together to be with him in the clouds. Until then, pray and support our Brethren, and look up!

From Arturo:
I have received the
Bible that you sent me.
I was really happy because actually I wanted
a bible with references
like that one. That just
proves again how great
and loving our God is
that satisfy’s the desires
of our heart. Thank you
very much for the opportunity to study with
you all and for all the
time and work you all
dedicated to me. I really
enjoyed the studies and
hope I can be a very
good servant of God.
Please pray that I may
stay close to our Lord
Jesus always and follow
him with all my heart.
God bless.
Dearest Friends:
GOD BLESS YOU.
First of all I want to thank
you and our Creator for
making this happen. I
found the Bible very fascinating. This ministry has
helped me a lot over the
years. Whether it’s facing
temptation, dealing with
my anger or if I’m down.
In all my ways I acknowledge God, and lean not on
my own understanding.
Again I want to say than
I’m thankful for all you
have done for me. May
God bless you and give
you the peace that only our
Creator can give.
Humbly, Chu, CA
PS– Do you have any more
studies?
Dear Friend,
I’m writing you this short
letter just to let you al know
that I got that free Bible on
June 27 and I sure do like it
and appreciate it very much.
I also like those two Diploma’s. And I want to say
thank you all for sending all
of those bible studies to me.
It has helped me to grow
and learn more about my
Father. Now I would like to
ask you, do you got anymore studies that I may do?
And plus I’ve got three
friends who would like to
take up on your studies and
get that a free Bible.
God love you and so do I.
God bless you all,
Jessie
Brothers in Jesus Christ. I thank you for
the time I spent walking in the lessons;
in the devotion and the dedication to the
Lord. Brethren, may God pour a shower
of blessing over you and your ministry.
Thank you for finding me and for bringing the presence of my Father.
Thanks, many thanks for the gift that
you have given me; you don’t know how
I desired and yearned for Study Bible
like that one. Blessed by my God, who
listened to my prayers; Brothers I want
to share my joy with you– this year is
the year of a feast (party) for me. The
Lord gifted me with my Bible. Today he
also gifted me with liberty. First of all I
am leaving in November. I am going to
Mexico and there to speak the Word to
my people where there are places that
need to be told about God and God will
go with me. Now, I serve the Lord and
am going to do His will. These are the
wishes of your brother in Christ,

Prison Letter Dear Little Lambs inc. My name is David. I am 17 and am currently incarcerated in
jail in Texas. I am writing to enroll in your Bible Correspondence Course so I can become the man
God wants me to be. I am currently looking at a pretty good amount of time in jail or prison. I
was saved on December 7th, 2010 and strayed away from the Lord. I am here on an assault on a
public servant and harassment of a public servant. Please enroll me. DT, Texas
Thank you for the Bible Studies. I have already sent them to you guys! I hope I did good! But I have found a book
on our library cart here at the Morgan County Jail (Indiana) called “I’m Not Coming Back The John Sala Story, but
it is missing a lot of pages!! Could you please send me a copy of the book and maybe some more bookmarks and
reading materials? I really am glad I found your address. I love the way the studies have me searching the Bible all
through, back and forth. I love the challenge! Respectfully, Robert
Anger Management Class Essays
The LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.
Honestly in the beginning of this class I was very closed minded. I didn’t feel like I needed Anger Management. By the last class I
had learned so much about myself. It opened my mind, eyes and heart to my personal relationship. I learned that my addiction
was to my boyfriend. My life revolved around him and his needs. I was his enabler. I also realized a lot of hurt and confused
emotions that I still had locked inside from me fathers death. I’m able to express my feelings in a positive way now and ca take
the time to properly explain my feeling and emotions. This class was a blessing in disguise. I now put me and my kids first and
left that emotionally abusive relationship I was in. This class gave me confidence that I had lost. And I was able to find inner
strength I didn't know existed. Thank you Ms. Eileen for your patience. J. H.
Ms Ilene, Little Lambs
First I would like to thank you for the knowledge and the hope to know God. I started praying for the first time
in many, many years. I have really stated to take a really good look at my whole life through what I have learned
about core beliefs in your class and how to back since childhood to admit to myself that what I was taught in my
life is not normal. I feel now like I have that courage from the serenity prayer to change the things I can about
me. The brain videos really made me think about how much damage I have already done and try hard now to
change that too. I definitely don’t wan t my son to be like me. We have began talking a lot lately not screaming.
What nice conversations we have been having. I will continue working on my addiction and anger issues day by
day and try to go through life as normal as I can. Thank you again, Donna

Greetings from Martha….
On July 6, 2014, a group of ladies from Sebring were present at
Hernando Correctional Institution to see our dear friend, Martha,
graduate from Life Christian University. She has completed two
years and starts her final two years now. Her spirits are high, her
courage is strong, her patience is flowering! A group of 12 young
ladies completed the courses and excitement was evident with
caps and gowns and families and refreshments. Hernando is one
of the few prisons where families can attend church with the inmates. Martha is in her ‘school of ministry’ designed by the Lord.
Charles and Sharon Burton...Founders of Overcomers
are Retiring ...Through their own 28 years of sobriety and recovery from
painful emotional wounds, in 1985 Charles and Sharon founded the Overcomers Recovery Support program which has since gone international. Their
Christ –centered program has been used in some of the prison systems in
America as their drug treatment program. A user friendly program it has been
established in churches and meetings though the United States. Charles and
Sharon visited us in 2008 and encouraged us in the Lord. They are retiring
this year after dealing with serious health issues. Our Overcomers Addiction
Recovery Support Program continues at the Bible Fellowship Church on
Wednesdays at 6 pm. It is led by former graduates of Little Lambs Inc.
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It’s the year of Jubilee!
Out of Zion’s hills salvation comes!
Friends are gone, but their legacy lives on
Dear Friend Pat Coriell
Charles and Pat Coriell moved back to Sebring in
1998 shortly after John and I did. Pat knew John after he was released from Avon
Park Prison in 1983. When she and Charlie married in 1987, John sang at their wedding. Charlie and Pat joined our Board of Directors and Charlie has taught in prison
for most of those years. Pat served until several years ago. She battled Alzheimers
disease and slowly fell under it’s power. She died July 11. Please keep Brother
Charlie in your prayers. In taking care of Pat, he had little time for himself and developed a sore on his foot that has required surgery. He will be off his feet for several weeks now and needs a full and complete recovery!
Dear Friend Ted Tinberg Ted never met a building he couldn’t make better!
He took hold of our ministry building and transformed the upstairs into an efficient
and comfortable series of meetings rooms. He began to help us remodel Grace
Place, but he had suffered a series of strokes and had to give it up. We met Ted and
Mary at Bible Fellowship Church in 2004 and Mary worked in our office, graded
and led a Women’s Recovery Group. We have enjoyed their fellowship and service
in the Lord through the years. Ted suffered from a lung disease that robbed him of
his breath. His strong faith and peace in the face of death is a strong legacy that he
leaves. Together Ted and Mary witnessed in such a gentle way, who could resist
them!
