My friends in Christ,
Greetings to all in the name of our Redeemer, the living Christ:
It is so wonderful to see the Lord`s hand so pointedly here at Operation Blessing. Through literal visions, prophecy,
and the gift of knowledge, we are witnessing God`s direction for OB. Personnel changes are forthcoming and yet every building
block (little rock )is already placed in His order.
How marvelous is the Lord! His comprehension is beyond our understanding.
OB has just closed out its first year with a new director. With this closure the ministry has harvested 11,050
clients helped, 825 new converts to His kingdom, and 81 babies saved from abortion.
Again, how marvelous is the Lord! His comprehension is beyond our understanding.
OB has enjoyed over 21 volunteer and staff members working daily for the great commission. The above statistics
are with great devotion and commitment. God truly knows those who are His.
The holy Word declares that a tree planted by living water WILL produce fruit(Psalms 1:3 ) We are just such tree`s
in His vineyard. Let us continue to pray to the Husbandman (Father God ) for laborers. The harvest is plentious but the laborers
are few.
To God be the glory forever.. Amen.

We are now in the sixth month of this year, and we have received a lot of praise reports at Operation Blessing.
It is just awesome to see God performing miracles before our own eyes as we continue to pray and lift up the name of our Lord,
Jesus Christ. We are witnessing the power of prayer everyday. In the book of John 12:32, Jesus said:
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me."
And so this is what we do everyday at Operation Blessing we lift up Jesus and men are coming and are drawn
unto HIM. Isnt this awesome? As we lift up the Name of Jesus and tell all people what He does for us, they will be drawn unto
HIM. This is what the gospel is all about, telling somebody about the goodness of God and the ultimate sacrifice He gave.
The Bible says in John 3:16, " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Think about this for a moment, everlastinglife. The dictionary describes
everlasting as "lasting forever, eternal, continuing for a long time or indefinitely."
Have you ever thought about your present life, and what is next? I want to spend eternity with God how about
you?
In His Service,
Margarita Dennis

As we begin the summer months, we take the time to continually give God thanks for His many blessings over this
ministry. It never ceases to amaze me of His bountiful grace.
Here is a prime example of just one testimony of God's unending love. A young lady came into to the
center seeking help. She just gave birth to her second child; single mom with no direction or goals for her life. After listening
to the word of God, she broke down weeping. She surrendered her life to Christ. Then I shared with her how Christ wanted all
of her mind, body and soul.
A few weeks later, she came into the center to tell me that her boyfriend is no longer living with
her. He moved back home and is trying to get his life back on track. He is looking for a job, and they are hoping to eventually
get married in the near future. Keep praying that they will do God's will for their lives.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

GOD IS FAITHFUL AND IS SO GOOD!!
I came to Operation Blessing with the expectation that Pastor Elmo could refer some clients to me for Christian
counseling. I am currently seeking a license in the state of North Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and
I must have over 1400 contact hours with clients. I was allowing this requirement to cause me a lot of stress because I knew
that I had to get as many of the hours completed during the summer while I was out of school. I was overcome with my situation
and was not exercising my faith to the fullest.
As I talked with Pastor Elmo, I had no idea that I had been prayed into Operation Blessing (OB). OB
was in need of intake counselors and I was in need of counseling hours. As a result of praying to our awesome Savior, He met
both of our needs. Before I return to school in August, I will have completed over 600 hours of counseling. PRAISE GOD!!
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen."
Hebrews 11:1
Sincerely His,
Vicki
