Dear Friends,
Early one morning the Lord awakened us with a message. At the time I was attending Bible College so naturally, before jumping to any conclusions, I wanted to study the matter. What resulted confirmed what had happened that morning. God had called us to ministry and had given us a special mission for the body of Christ.
For years, like Moses, I resisted going forth because I did not feel adequate or prepared. Time after time the Father gave me opportunity to move forward but l continued to hesitate. How many of you know that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance?
Our disobedience to Gods call came to an end during a special meeting in Baltimore, MD when the Holy Spirit impressed upon me that now is the appointed time for us to go forward in this work. People’s hearts are indeed failing them for fear and lack of encouragement to believe in the ultimate provision and mercy of God the Father.
So now . . .
This is the gist of the message God spoke to us early that morning . . .
Isaiah 58:12 - Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. (KJV)
With a proper attitude toward fasting and prayer, this scripture represents the foundation of our ministry. Simply, we are called to be an oasis in a dry land. We have been specifically commissioned to “refresh” the body of Christ, help mend relationships, heal rips in fellowship and repair the damage caused by being out of fellowship with God the Father. Lastly, God has directed us in how to restore correct paths upon which we can conduct our lives.
Those who count themselves friends and supporters of this ministry will find themselves walking in an anointing that causes them to build, rise up, repair and restore that which God gives us which is life and life more abundantly.
After a 20 year period of preparation and trail, by faith, we are prepared to go forward in this work and this we will do, according to the will of God. We are not ashamed to carry the name of Christ to a lost and dying world.
If you feel so lead, we invite you to join us as we work with the Lord to build, raise, repair and restore the spirit and souls of men, women and children everywhere. We endeavor to do this by the leading of the Holy Spirit and by introducing them to a loving Father who is strong in his ability to keep and perfect what we entrust to him, which is our very lives.
Yours in Christ with Love, Rev. Edward Richardson
