(1 Corinthians 15:57)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: God blesses us for our obedience to His Word as we listen to His voice!

Please let me never take one day, one hour, one minute of this precious life for granted and may I always honor You with my life! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

Blessings my friend!!!

In a little over 90 days on August 31st, Liveprayer will celebrate 26 years of bringing God’s Truth to the marketplace outside of the four walls of the church and leading the lost and hurting to faith in Jesus Christ. When we signed on to the internet on 8/31/99 there were apx. 2.4m websites, today there are over 2.8 billion.

During these nearly 26 years we have received and prayed over 310 million prayer requests from all over the world, have apx 31 million praise reports archived, have aired apx 5,800 TV programs since March of 2003, and seen apx 2.8m souls come to faith in Jesus Christ. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

All of this ministry to people worldwide 24/7 for nearly 26 years has only been possible because dear friends of God’s work here have prayed and many given incredible sacrifices to keep Liveprayer going strong!!! For 32 years since I answered God’s call to the ministry, the last 26 yrs here at Liveprayer.com and 22 yrs on the TV program, this has been a total walk of faith.

My goal has been to minister to the lost and hurting masses all over the world. The biggest objection non-Christians have is the belief that ministry is nothing but a money hustle. Sadly many of the most well-known Christian ministries have fed into that belief without shame and totally ignorant (or they simply don’t care) that they are a stumbling block to lost souls. The $10,000 suits, multiple million dollar mansions, luxury cars, private jets, living more like Hollywood entertainers than ministers of the Gospel, they give non-Believers an easy excuse to reject Christianity.

Liveprayer has truly been a faith ministry from day one. There are no ads on the website, no commercials during the TV program, no books or trinkets to buy, no cruises or tours to take, no concerts or conventions to attend, all which are geared to people who are already Believers which is fine if all you do is preach to the choir. The first of every month for over 32 years I get on my knees, lay my hands on that months budget, and pray for the Lord to move on hearts to meet that months financial needs. NOT A PENNY MORE!

NEEDLESS TO SAY GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL AS HE HAS MOVED ON THE HEARTS OF DEAR FRIENDS LIKE YOU TO HELP ME FOR OVER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY!!!

During that time we have had 6 real financial crisises that really tested my faith, but in the end God always came thru! Sadly, we are at another difficult time financially. While the Lord sustained us over the 4 years of Biden’s destruction of the economy hurting millions of people, the reality is it will be at least another year before Trump’s efforts to fix the economy are really being felt by the masses. Also with the price of oil down around $60 a barrel and the tariff wars necessary to fix our broken trading system with the world, several of our dear friends who God has used in a mighty way over the years are having their own struggles.

HOWEVER, GOD ALWAYS HAS A RAM IN THE BUSH!!!

As of today we are trying to cover the final $25,000 of our March ministry operations and the $55,000 from April. That is $80,000 we need to cover our shortfalls leading into May which is already half over. The critical need is clearing up that $80,000 shortfall. Even if we have to carry the $55,000 of our May ministry operations into June, clearing up the $80,000 shortfall as quickly as possible takes the immediate pressure off.

So I am coming to you today to ask you first to pray. Pray for the Lord to move on the hearts of those He has blessed to be able to help out Liveprayer at this critical time. Everyone can pray! For those who the Lord has blessed, pray about what He is calling you to do to help me insure we clear up that critical $80,000 shortfall!

Pray that if you have recently had a financial blessings from an inheritance, the sale of property, an investment windfall, or God is simply speaking to you about taking a portion of what He has entrusted into your care to bless His work here at Liveprayer with the most generous gift possible.

I believe there is one of our friends today who God has richly blessed and can help me today with a special one-time gift of $50,000. I believe there are several who can help me with a gift of $10,000, and several more with a gift of $5,000. If everyone else will simply “give according to your ability to give” as the Bible instructs, even if it is $10, we can see this $80,000 mountain wiped away. IT IS NOT THE AMOUNT YOU GIVE, BUT THE OBEDIENT HEART YOU GIVE IT WITH! AMEN!!!
