Part 1: Introduction To the Power of the Prayers of the Body of Christ the Church
What Does Your “Belief and Baptism” (Mark 16:16) Give YOU the Power to DO?
A Suggestion of How to Do “Something Beautiful for God”: Supporting this Ministry and Institute Through Prayer
A main purpose of this Ministry and Institute listed in the Mission Statement is to educate Christians about their supreme dignity as God’s adopted children and as part of the Body of Christ Himself, which gives their prayers real power to affect the world (James 5:16 “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” [KJV], “the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” [NIV]). This Ministry provides not only education about this great power which Christians have through their “belief and baptism” (Mark 16:16) but also opportunity to practice their use of this power of prayer.
This Ministry more than anything else needs the prayers of members of the Body of Christ, since God has chosen to operate through the prayers of His People, the Body of His Son. I hope readers will consider committing to regularly pray for the success and growth of this ministry of Christian education, spiritual growth in love for the Holy Trinity of Love, and unity of the Body in Christ our Head “so that the world may believe.”
I believe what has been presented in this Christian education ministry concerning “the Gift of Truth” is very exciting and will bring about many exciting opportunities for Christians to get a lot more out of reading their Bibles; for Christians to better know and fall deeper in love with God the Holy Trinity of Love; for currently divided Christians to act more lovingly towards each other as one Body of Christ “so that the world may believe” as Jesus prayed; and for Christians to more effectively engage the secularized culture (especially concerning science and faith) and transform it with the Love and Truth of Jesus Christ our Lord and God. If you are inclined to agree, please put the power God has given you as a member of the Body of Christ the Church to work with your active prayer support of this Ministry and educational Institute. This Ministry and Institute are meant to function not independently of the Body but as functions of the Body of Christ which works and prays together, many members of Jesus’ Body like YOU, towards the building up of Jesus’ Kingdom.

Part 2: Formally Becoming a “Partner” in Building God’s Family and Kingdom with “The Gift of Truth”
Of course, any contribution to the success of this Christian education and unity ministry in occasional prayers or in one-time donations are gratefully received as God’s provision for this ministry through fellow members of the Body of Christ the Church. Any such support is a “taking part” in this ministry as a member of the Body of Christ, for which I am certain God will bless you.
However, what is most helpful to the continuation and success and growth of this “Gift of Truth” ministry and Institute is regular support, especially in prayer and also in donations. If you believe the goals of this ministry are important enough (or if God otherwise so leads you), for you to become an “official” Partner in Building God’s Family and Kingdom with The Institute for Promoting the Gift of Truth, through your regular prayer support or your regular donation support (or both), please “cut and paste” the following form into an e-mail message, fill out the options you would like to commit to, and e-mail us at thegiftoftruth@ymail.com.
