Sharing the Yoke
You may donate online, by phone or by

In Philippians 4:3, Paul refers to one of his close
associates as a "true yokefellow." This is a calling that we have
inherited, both with the Lord Jesus Christ and with all those fellow-believers
or ministry groups to which we are committed in covenant relationships.
A yoke is an instrument laid across the necks or shoulders of
draft animals such as horses or oxen in order to pull a common load, like a plow
or a wagon. Symbolically, sharing a yoke means to be united together in a common
purpose, shouldering the burden of a common vision.
Jesus urges, "Take my yoke upon you and learn of
Me" (Mt. 11:29). If we respond to His request, we will shoulder the burden
of a lost human race with the same passion that He exhibited, working with all
of our strength to promote the cause of God's Kingdom in this world. Over half
of the word's population has never heard the presentation of the true Gospel.
Over one hundred thousand die everyday–most of them unprepared. This breaks
the heart of God—it should break ours also.
We have committed ourselves to tirelessly labor in this final
harvest, pulling the plow of the truth through the soil of the hearts of men.
We
are very passionate about taking upon our shoulders the yoke of the Lord Jesus.
But we are appealing to you to share the yoke with us. Our hearts burn with the
vision. All we lack is the provision to make it happen. We are encouraging our
friends in the body of Christ to become covenant partners who send monthly or
weekly support to this ministry. By doing so, you help us to help others.
We are believing God for the mortgage on our office building
to be paid off soon so that we can go forward with some very exciting projects.
Our vision includes—television, radio, the publication of books and Bible
school materials, crusades in the U.S. and abroad, and the support of mission
works around the world. In 2003, we formally launched "The True Light
Project" mailing my new book, In Search of the True Light, to hundreds of
yoga teachers around the U.S. (In 1970 I was a yoga teacher at four universities
in Florida, so I know how to reach this group of people). We are presently
devising strategies to reach and powerful impact this segment of our society and
our world. We will soon translate the True Light book into a number of different
languages and reach out worldwide. We believe the harvest of souls will be
phenomenal.
Please pray, listen and do what God speaks to your heart. We
hope to hear from you soon.
Your fellow servants.
