    Royal Life Ministries Fall Newsletter 2013We can hardly believe that on November 3 it will be ten years since we celebrated our 25 th Wedding Anniversary with a renewal of our vows! Where does the time go?! That

    ceremony was such a gift from God to us as people came out of the wood work to create anentire wedding for us. It was beau tiful! In that ceremony we shared a power pointpresentation of our life together. We shared Joel 2:25, I will makeup to you for the years that the locust has eaten. No one can fully know the miracle of our life, marriage and ministry except us andGod. What a sweet ministry God has given us as we talk withcouples (now for five years) and tel l them, IF we can make it,anyone can! Watching individuals understand their identity inChrist and God heal broken hearts has been priceless. We are sothankful for our partners in ministry who pray for us and givefinancially so that we can delegate our time to ministry. God hasproved Himself faithful as we took a step of faith in 2008. 2003

    Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    Heres an awesome testimony by one of our counselees that wed like to share with you :

    I am grateful for the ministry that Rebekah and Tim provide for broken people like me. After spending many years angry and closed off to God due to hur tful li fe cir cumstances, God led me to Royal L if e so that I could learn th e truth about H is grace and love. L ike many others,my view of God was warped and I beli eved He hated me and was pun ishing me for all the bad things I had done. Through my time with Rebekah, I came to understand that Jesusdidnt come to make bad people good; He came to make dead people live. I was able to get off the treadmill (or dread mill as I like to refer to it) of performance and finally accept Jesus love and the gif t of H is sacri fi ce that allows us to li ve a fr ee li fe. I am so thankfu l f or the insight that Rebekah provided by listening to Gods call and spreading the message He wantsall of us to hear. I beli eve so much in their mini stry that I will contin ue to be a li fe-long suppor ter so that other broken people can r eceive the message of whol eness through Jesus that has been shown to me.

    Psalm 126:2-3 Our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting; They said among the

    nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us; We are glad.

    Our Summer Journey:

    This summer has been unusually slow for us. The slow season has been timely because we got to spendextra time with our daughter and new grandbaby and grandsons. However, it has taken a toll on our

    support. As we pray and seek Gods direction we continually hear Him say, Trust me! We hate toadmit that sometimes we can be like the children of Israel, forgetting all of the many times God hasproven Himself to us and begin to belly ache! Even as we write this newsletter and I typed Joel 2:25, myeyes go to Joel 2:26 You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord yourGod, who has dealt wondrously with you. Then my people will never be put to shame. God makes meLOL as HE speaks to us in so many different ways. As we study the scriptures together we notice Paul

    praying and prison doors open which encourages us. But Paul also prayed three times for a thorn in theflesh to be removed and God said , No, my grace is sufficient. Jesus said, Ask and you shall receive. He also said to tell a mountain to move and it will move. Tim makes me (Rebekah) laugh because he

    said in III Timothy 2:2 it says And in all these things a man can go crazy. (I know the pressure on theman of the family is felt more.) Our faith is based on the fact that Jesus CAN do anything we ask but Hisways are not always our ways. We will make our request known to Him and trust Him and try to notlean on our own understanding. We believe with all of our hearts that we are doing exactly what we aresupposed to be doing. We now have an unspeakable peace in the midst of uncertainty. But we would

    appreciate your prayers for Gods provision through support, counselees and conferences. If you d liketo know more about our support team, visit our web site and look under resources for a short video.Thanks for loving us and believing in us. Your friendship is appreciated. We wish you and your family awonderful Fall season and upcoming Thanksgiving!
