A CLARION CALL TO FELLOWSHIP
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, The preacher looking into Ecclesiastes 4: 9 - 12, quickly realizes that there is strength in numbers and also understands the joy of fellowship the psalmist talked of in Psalms 133:1. So the question is asked “Can you trust again?” The answer is “Yes you can!!!
This is a call to all independent churches and ministries in the body of Christ who have been doing the work of ministry that the Lord has given you to do, all by yourself; no help from other churches or leaders, no support in your time of great need. Maybe you’ve already overcome a lot of the obstacles that were placed in your way and want to support other ministries. This call is to you. Some are still standing tall, some are barely standing at all. Through your many trails and experiences, the disappointments and let downs, you have lost the ability to trust. This letter is a “Clarion Call to Fellowship” saying you can trust again.
