"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God." (2 Cor 9:12)

Dear Praying Friend,

Help us spread the word about Prophecy Today UK!

As we plan a day of thanksgiving on Saturday 9 April to celebrate the first birthday of the new on-line version of Prophecy Today, we are rejoicing in all the Lord has done so far - and praising him for all he is going to do in the future. We firmly believe that the Lord knows the end from the beginning, and that all the discordant-seeming affairs of the nations are entirely unsurprising to the Sovereign God who created all things.

Prophecy Today seeks to inform the church's witness in these testing times by offering a balanced biblical understanding of current affairs, and a prophetic insight into how the Lord is working his purposes out in this generation.

We really want to thank you for your partnership in this ministry - the careful, prayerful and watchful contributions of our writers (all unpaid) are encouraged and sustained by your partnership with us in the Gospel; every word is underpinned by your faithful prayers. We thank God for the privilege of labouring together with you to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we pray the Lord will use Prophecy Today to encourage and strengthen his church to speak clearly into the nation and these times.

The number of hits on the Prophecy Today website continues to grow month by month. Over 1,000 people now receive our regular weekly e-mail updates. But we know there are still many churches who are not even aware this ministry exists.

So we're writing to ask for your help.

If you haven't already done so, could you draw Prophecy Today to the attention of your local church? Not only to strengthen its ministry, but to include us in its prayers, and perhaps in its tithing: Prophecy Today is a faith ministry, and our operating costs are borne entirely by the Lord's generosity through his people.

Unlike a print magazine, it costs around £2,000 a month to maintain the service - irrespective of how many people use it. So the maths is fairly simple: the greater the number of active supporters, the greater the chance of Prophecy Today being able to continue developing. We stepped out in faith on day one, and our existing partners already give generously. But we now need to bring additional donations into the storehouse if we are to sustain the service for the longer term.

If partnering with us in this way is something you feel able to do, do visit our Support page.

Meanwhile, we continue to give thanks to God for the ways in which he is using this internet-based ministry to bring new blessings – from the pastors who print out our e-mail updates to encourage the prayers of house-bound parishioners, to the Messianic believers in Israel, tapping into the teaching resources on the site. Please continue with us in praying in the Lord's provision for Prophecy Today UK in the months ahead.

With love in the Lord Jesus Christ,

Chris Pateman
