Dear Dr. Daniel,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Dr Briggs, for this revelation opening of my eyes and heart with The Disciples of Christ volumes, The leaven principle, the Kingdom building and all of the doctrines. It has enlightened and encouraged me so much, in fact I preached on the leaven and building of temples principles last Sunday to our Bible school students, with more than 20 Pastors present. Praise God! What an Anointing, it was accepted, praised and welcomed, these Pastors eyes were opened, they received revelation, it was overwhelming, Praise HIM, Yahushua Mashia, to Him all the Glory and Praise, Amen Hallelujah.
I thank you for the opportunity and we believe God has called us into mobilization to make Disciples.
God Bless
Pastor Charles Pretorius

A recently WCMA approved Seed Grant provided funds for the purchase of three female, pregnant goats. Anwar Masih (far right, top right photo) is CVM's Village Coordinator, who purchased the goats for the Co-op Project. Mr. and Mrs Gulnaz (center photo), will be the recipient of the purchase and is the Seed Grant Co-op Coordinator, who attends the Christ Voice Ministries in Pakistan, where Brother Hanif Masih (2nd in from left, top right photo) is pastor. Mr. Gulnaz (on left with crutches, center right photo) recently lost a leg in an accident making it even more difficult for this poor family to survive. This Seed Grant will allow Sister Gulnaz to help support her family during this time of transition and need and will also be a great blessing to the local church. Your continued support will help expand this program that keeps giving and giving.
Thank you to all our donors who helped make this possible. With your continued prayers and financial support many more wonderful projects like this one can be launched.

Dear Dr. Briggs, and beloved Brother,
Thank you for the prayers you and Flo have spoken for me. Last week, it was confirmed to me that God has truly worked the miracle I have been long awaiting. After only 7 weeks from my surgery, I was pronounced completely recovered from the operation by a doctor from my surgeon’s staff.

I was told that I didn’t need my crutches anymore, Praise The LORD! For the first time in nearly 2 years, I don’t need canes or crutches to help me walk. This in itself is a miracle, considering that before my right hip operation back in March, I was probably a few weeks away from being in a wheelchair. And now, for the first time in about 6 years, I can honestly say I don’t have any pain from the hips on downward. Sure, I have some muscular aches, but Hey! I’m over 50 and earlier this year I had a lot of muscle tissue surgically cut and that tissue has to rebuild. But no pain. No riveting, shock and awe kind of pain that would run from my hips to my ankles.
Even though my right hip resurfacing in March eliminated immeasurable pain, my left hip was as badly (if not worse) worn, with no cartilage remaining. It was bone crushing against bone from my femur to my hip socket, rocketing me with pain in every movement. Over the next six months, the pain increased exponentially, limiting my capacity to function. Driving was torture, but had to be done for my secular job in order to sustain our family business. The pain limited my sleeping to short periods of time throughout the night that seemed to get shorter with the passing of time. I couldn’t even put on a pair of socks without wanting to cry out in agony.
Now that all seems like a distant memory, even though it’s been only 2 months. Now at my “middle-age,” I think I’m experiencing the elation an infant/toddler has when he/she first learns to walk and is able to take steps without holding on to anything. My grin of accomplishment, satisfaction, and pure delight is probably much the same too.
What else can I say? It is liberating! It is thrilling! It is not only spectacular and absolutely WONDERFUL, it leaves me full of awe to know that I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who has personally healed me with an extraordinary recovery. He healed ME! Hallelujah! What a great thing to have such a Personal, Living God – the same One who says in His Word that He knows the number of hairs on my head. I can not begin to express the joy I have inside with the simple things I can do again… like reaching back with my foot to shut the car door, or to be able to climb in and out of the shower. Painless. Simple tasks, but absolutely amazing to be able to do them again. There will be a period of time that I’ll be rebuilding and strengthening the muscles in my legs that hadn’t been used or had very little use over the last several years. But, by the grace of God, this process will be expedient. And through it all, my mouth shall be continually filled with praise and my heart filled with thanksgiving for my Jesus. My Faithful Friend. My Waymaker. My Rock. My YHWH-Raphah.
This is my testimony and you’re welcome to use it on the WCMA website as an encouragement to others that are going through trials.
Brother Richard Murray
