FROM THE DESK OF JOHN

Dear Friends,

Did you know that we consider you a very important part of the John Ankerberg Show team? Well, you are. We could not do this ministry without you. We deeply appreciate your support whether financial, through prayer, or through your words of appreciation. Thank you.

As you know, at some point every one of us will face difficult seasons in life—losing a loved one, a difficult diagnosis, a struggling marriage, financial reversals. Or perhaps you’ve been treated unfairly by friends.

Have you have been praying, waiting for an answer... and you’re still waiting? When life hasn’t gone the way we planned, we all ask the same questions: “God, where are You? Do You see what I’m going through? Will you help me?”

Those are real questions, and the wonderful news is that God gives real answers in His Word.

My guests on television for the next few weeks are Anne Graham Lotz and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright.

They will use the life of Joseph to help you understand that “God Will Lead You Through Life’s Deepest Struggles.” Joseph was betrayed by his family, sexually tempted, experienced injustice and disappointment, and spent years in prison waiting to be freed. Yet the evidence shows that he relied on God’s faithfulness every step of the way and stood strong before his God.

Amazingly, Joseph couldn’t see what God was doing. But God knew exactly where Joseph was, and He had a plan for his life. Do you realize that God also knows exactly where you are today and has a plan for your life?

We hope the information in this timely series will encourage you, regardless of what you are facing.

We have entitled their series “God Will Lead You Through Life’s Deepest Struggles: Lessons from the Life of Joseph.” If you would like to have a copy of the 2 Blu Ray DVDs containing the 7 programs with Anne and Rachel-Ruth, they are ready now.

Also, Anne and Rachel-Ruth have also written a brand new book entitled God Won’t Leave You There. Please see the information in this newsletter about how you can request it.

Then, after we hear Anne and Rachel-Ruth’s first 4 programs ending on September 27, we will air a special series, but return to hear their three remaining programs in Part 2 on November 8, 15 and 22.

In between I have invited Dr. Erwin Lutzer to come and speak to us about his brand-new book, Marx and Moody. I am concerned about our country, and I want him to define some of the terms those running for office in this coming election are using to describe themselves. We need to know what they are saying. Then we will look at what God has told us in Scripture about how leaders should lead any country.

Let me close by taking a moment to thank you for the gifts you have given to supply Audio Bibles for people who cannot read their own language, or who have no Bible at all in their language.

As a result of your gifts, nearly 21.8 million people are now listening to God speak to them through the Proclaimer. You cannot imagine the joy these people feel as they learn “God speaks to me!”

But the time is short, and the need is still great, so please take time to pray about this need, then use the enclosed card to make the most generous gift you are able to supply these Audio Bibles.

Once again, thank you for all you do for us. We covet not only your financial support for the ministry, but also your prayers and words of encouragement. Know that our staff prays for you as well, so let us know if you have specific requests.

Until the whole world knows,

John and Darlene
