What is a "GRAPHE GROUP" MEMBER?

We at Living In His Word Ministries are looking forward to an exciting 2008.

    Our New Web Presence has been outstanding.
    More people are coming an viewing our site every day
    Also we are creating new and exciting things on this site almost daily.

Our New "WORK WEEK DEVOTIONAL" that is sent out free every single day to hundreds and possibly thousands of people is gaining in popularity and visibility.

Monday – Friday we have a new Devotional taken from the book of Proverbs.
Monday through Friday you will receive a new Proverb everyday.
We will not be publishing on Saturday and Sunday.
You can have the devotional sent to your e-mail
or to minimize loading time you can get a link sent to your e-mail so you can read it online

Also we have a new Reading Schedule for you that allow you to read through the entire Bible in a year by reading only a few chapters a day Monday - Friday. On Saturday we encourage you to read the Proverb that we are currently working from. We will continue to encourage you to re-read whatever scripture your pastor uses for his message on Sunday.

Another part of this ministry are Conferences and Retreats. We are doing several this year alone.

A Teen Conference in Wisconsin Dells
A Young Adults Conference in Wisconsin Dells.
Our second Annual Marriage R & R Retreat t strengthen marriages.
A fall Envision Your Life Retreat for Married Couples
Two separate Pre-marital Conferences
And many more in the planning stages...

Also we are building a new Headquarters for Counseling and offices for the LIHW Ministry. We are going to offering Biblically Based Counseling by a trained staff of independently funded counselors.

And so much more.....

But back to the main question.
What is a "GRAPHE GROUP" MEMBER?

Graphe is the Greek work used in 1 Timothy 3:16-17 for Scripture.

It means “a document, that is a, Holy Writ (or its contents or a statement in it):—scripture.” Simply stated for our application it is a document that contains the original Word of God.

The verses say “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

As a member of the LIHW Graphe Group (The Scripture Group) you will be partnering with Living In His Word Ministry in helping those that have strayed from the correct path which God has laid out in His word.

Some are Christians that have gotten out of the will of God.
Many may never have heard the truth of God’s word and need to be given the light of this glorious gospel.

Whatever the case it is our belief and intention to point them to God’s wonderful Word and help them find the truth for their life.

How can you help as a GRAPHE GROUP MEMEBER?

First, please tell as many people as you know about this free devotional service that will encourage them during their workweek. You can either forward them the link that is sent to you daily, or have them write to us requesting to be added at LIHW@LivingInHisWord.com, Give them the link to the devotional page at Daily Devotions or the link to the sign up page at Devotional E-mail List.

Second, please pray for God direction during 2008? Our Web Site is changing. We want to open an on line counseling page, an actual Counseling Center in Holland by the end of 2008, as well as Christian Life Coaching Service online and in person, all during this next year. Pastor Senters and others working in this ministry will also be picking up many speaking and singing engagements as well.
(If you are interested in having them come call 616-335-8796)
And we are considering adding a missions supported computer ministry as well. (More about that at a later date)
Please pray for the several retreats mentioned before for 2008. A Vision Retreat for Married Couples. Another Marriage Rejuvenation Retreat for couples. A Teen Retreat in Wisconsin Dells during the month of June. And a Young Adults Retreat in Wisconsin Dells also during the month of June. We also hope to once again be able to counsel many Couples with Pre-marital Counseling as couples and in Groups. Please approach the throne on our behalf as we attempt to get people into God’s Word and help them enjoy it and want to stay in it. That is the only thing that will ever really change people’s lives.

Yes that is an ambitious goal, but we believe this is where God is leading.

Finally, we are looking for a few people that feel God may be leading you to financially support this work. The cost of keeping the web site going as well as these new ventures are not cheap. God has graciously kept this going, but on a shoe string budget. As we look at constructing an office this next year and possibly adding on mission supported staff, it will take additional funds. If it is within your means to contribute we would greatly appreciate it. If not, please know that we in no way are planning to ever charge for our devotions or have anyone feel they must or need to contribute. We only want you to consider this if God leads you that way.

We would like to have a group of you that we will be calling our “Graphe Group”

In addition:

Each Graphe Group Member with a one time gift of any amount will receive a laminated Book mark that has the 2008 Daily reading on it. It is also a great tool to use in underlining you Bible as your read through it. You will also receive our monthly e-news letter keeping you updated on this ministry and those ministries partnering with us.
For any Graphe Group Member pledging a monthly contribution for 2008 of $5.00 a month or more, you receive all above plus you will also receive a copy of the book “Trail of Blood.” And a discount card good for any items we will have available over the next year.
For any Graphe Group Member pledging a monthly contribution for 2008 of $15.00 a month or more, you receive all above plus you will also receive one of our CD's of your choice.
And finally for any Graphe Group Member pledging a monthly contribution for 2008 of $25.00 a month or more, you receive all above plus at the end of 2008 you will receive a voucher good for $200 off any retreat we do in 2009.
