I often ask myself where I'd be today had I not met Jesus in 1972. Frankly, I don't even want to think about it, for my life would be empty and meaningless.
I've said to the Lord numerous times that it would have been better to never have been born than to not have met Him.
He has given my life rich meaning and fulfillment and satisfied me beyond measure.
Truly, the richest man, without Jesus, is poor, and the poorest man, with Jesus, is rich. The songwriter said it beautifully when he wrote:

You are my everything,
You are my all;
You are my everything
Both great and small.
You gave Your life for me
and made everything new.
Jesus, You are my everything,
and I love you.

And I'm sure there have been times when you, too, have wondered where you'd be without Jesus.
He has done so much for us. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!
Now this same Jesus, who has touched your life and given rest to our souls, is calling us to serve and obey Him.
A Needy World Seeks Our Risen Lord Jesus
There are millions of people around the world craving for this glorious peace that you and I know on a daily basis. Some fear eternal separation from God. Others desire a hope for the future, a joy that lasts, and a love that never fails. Humanity is crying out for these things.
Think about the billions of dollars society spends looking for peace, intimacy, hope, joy, and love, but these come only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And someone has to tell a lost world before it is eternally too late!
That somebody is you! That somebody is me!
The Lord has called you and me to preach the Gospel of salvation to the nations, and our time is running out.
In 1974, at the age of 21, I began to preach the Gospel, and I have been preaching it ever since, and I will continue to do so until the day I die.
And as God gave me in those days faithful people to stand by me, 38 years later He is still calling men and women to fulfill His purpose.
What Is Your Part?
And so today I write you to let you know that my heart's cry has not diminished. In fact, it has gotten greater. The Gospel of Jesus must be preached. Necessity is put on you and me, and we must obey the Lord and accelerate our efforts before time runs out.
Our Lord Jesus declared, “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John 20:21).
Think about this most glorious privilege...think about those words as God the Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of glory, has sent His Son to earth. And this same God—the mighty One...the eternal One, the everlasting God, has called you.
That is why Paul the apostle wrote that God has called and anointed us so that His purpose might be accomplished. The Gospel must be preached.
And so today, as you sow a seed-gift for the work of the Gospel, the Gospel will be preached. As you give, it shall be given to you. As you honor the Lord with your substance, your barns will be filled with plenty. And I pray that He who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask or think, will bless you beyond measure.
Good Friday Prayer of Agreement
As you plant your seed-gift as an act of faith, be sure to also send photos and names of your lost loved ones. We want to pray for them during our Good Friday Candlelight Communion Miracle Service at the storied Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on April 6!
Our God is a miracle-working God, and we truly believe that your loved ones can be saved!
I feel an urgency to ask you to include the names of your lost loved ones in our prayers during this service, so I'm asking you to send me the names and pictures of your lost loved ones today.
Thank you for serving Him as my faithful partner. Thank you for all you are doing for the kingdom of God, for we know that it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6).
Preaching the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ,
teaching the unchanging Word of God, and
expecting the mighty and miraculous
power of the Holy Spirit,
