with tPositive Changes he MoveThe move from the Crystal Cathedral created a few challenges including internet and programming transfer problems but overall it has gone extremely well.

Pray for Dr SchullerAll of us at Hour of Power and Shepherds Grove Ministries are saddened to hear of Dr. Schuller's recent diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

Please join us in prayer for Dr. and

Mrs. Schuller (who is still recovering

from a light stroke).

We will post updates on Dr

Schuller’s condition on our website as more information

becomes available.

The move was costly and staff had to take a reduction in working hours but in the last few weeks things have turned around. Church attendance is up, the choir is back on track and there are great guests and singers lined up for the brand new season of Hour of Power now being televised from the new church home on Lewis Street, Garden Grove.

We are extremely grateful for the patience our viewers and supporters have exercised as we have had to run extended repeats and struggled with our programming information. We anticipate this situation will improve within weeks.

If you have sent us a message via our web contact page, please resend it. We have not been ignoring anyone, the international web links went down because of the move.

New Church LogoThe new Hour of Power home church is now called Shepherd's Grove. This name is a combination of the area where the church is situated (still in Garden Grove) and a reference to the Good Shepherd statue which has been relocated on the new property.

The corporate name of the church will remain Crystal Cathedral Ministries and here in New Zealand it remains Crystal Cathedral Ministries New Zealand.

Financial SummaryHaving worked in Christian organisations for many years I know that ministries are grown on regular faithful gifts. No gift is too small – remember Jesus commendation of the widow giving her last cent – and no gift is too large.

Last year we were seriously considering closing this office and moving all operations to Sydney as our bank accounts were being depleted faster than we were receiving funds. Our regular partnership donations had dropped by nearly 30%.

As with each decision we make; prayer plays a large part and we asked the Lord to guide us. If we were to stay open we needed a miracle. The pie chart of income shows we received the miracle.

We have carefully stewarded this huge amount so that not only did we survive the year but the residue coupled with our increasing regular donations has seen us through this year so far.

Large gifts such as the bequest we received are a rarity. God is in the multiplication business – He takes our gifts and multiplies them in the same way the small boy's lunch when put in Jesus hands was sufficient to feed five thousand.

The team of regular supporters has helped keep this ministry

afloat as we have sailed some choppy seas and we are so grateful for each one.

If you would like to know more about supporting this ministry on a regular basis please call me at the office – 0800144673 Monday to Thursday 8 am to 4 pm.
