May 2009 Dear Friend, Hello again from everyone at the Full Gospel Lighthouse Church in Torrington, CT. “This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice Rev. Daniel Bossidy and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). We have a lot to rejoice about. We recently Pastor&President celebrated Easter, the resurrection of Jesus our Lord, remembering all that He did for all of us. To think He carried our sins and transgressions to the cross so Barbara Prahm Vice-President we can freely serve Him without doubts and condemnation is enough to make the most difficult situation bearable. He died so that we would not perish. What Carol Bossidy hope He gave to humanity! Treasurer There is a beautiful lady who has been coming to church for several months now. She has suffered great tragedies in her family and she was convinced that she would never find peace in her life. She knew she would go to Card Ministry her grave desperately heartbroken. No amount of encouragement could change Convalescent Home her mind, as much as she longed for that change. She came to our church sad Ministry and hopeless, but as she continued to set under the teaching of God’s Word something began to happen to her. I told her about a Bible course we received Evangelistic Tracting from the Full Gospel Interdenominational Church of Manchester, CT which we Ministry call “First Steps.” It is a wonderful study designed for people new to Christianity and our church. It teaches people how to read the Bible and most importantly, Fasting Ministry how much the Lord loves us. We hear He loves us and He died for us, but what Foreign Missions Foundation Studies does that mean, and how can that apply to us in 2009? Many people really don’t know the answers to those questions! This lady began taking the course and after Hands of Hospitality several weeks into it, she now has a different outlook on life. She knows the Home Missions Lord loves her and will carry her burdens. She knows she doesn’t have to suffer Newsletter on her own because the Lord Jesus said He would never leave us or forsake us! Prayer Services She is learning what the Bible says and peace has come to her heart. She said the other evening that her mother would be pleased to know she finally has peace. Sunday School When we speak of Jesus performing miracles of healing, we usually only Vacation Bible think of physical healings He performed. But to see this woman today, there has School been a miracle in her life: a miracle of her emotional and spiritual well-being Visiting Ministry that rivals that of any physical miracle that could take place! The Lord Jesus Youth Activities cares for each and every one of us. He doesn’t save His miracles for just a select few. But we have to put ourselves in a position where He can add to us faith. Are you willing to change your outlook and attitude? Are you willing to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? One person noted the other day that Jesus quoted that Scripture and it says nothing about what a person can physically do: it all has to do with the spirit and soul of man. A paralyzed person In continued recognition of can love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. A four year old Dr. Philip P. Saunders World-Wide

can love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. It is the position of our heart. This woman at our church desired the change and positioned herself to receive the change. I know you can, too! Forgive others and forgive yourself and turn to Jesus with all your heart. He will change your life and remove all your sins and iniquities. He cannot live in a person’s heart that is bitter and angry and miserable. But if you will give Him your heart, He will transform it and give you His peace and love, which passes understanding!
