Why wait unit Chanukah or Christmas to get into the giving mood? It is always better to give than to receive. Why not make good tidings and cheer be what we need to do throughout the entire year? Just try to recall that expression on someone's face when they receive you unexpected gift. It fills you with great gratification knowing that you kind gesture is appreciated. That's what happens when you are on the giving side and no words can explain the wonderful feeling because it doesn't have to be Chanukah or Christmas to give.

When I called Bod Miller (during an early Sunday morning service) to interview him for this newsletter, I got more than I bargained for. I assumed that I would be talking to him about a ministry that helps the homeless and poor, but instead, he shared his burden for lost souls. Bob told me how his ministry began. His ministry is called "Kingdom of Gods Needs Ministry," which prays for spiritual, physical and emotional healing and leads lost souls to the Kingdom of God.
The Ministry's mission is to go outside the four walls of the church and pray for all people with compassion and humility. Bob's Ministry goes out on the street and sets up a healing prayer tent wherever the Lord leads, whether it's to the Lakewood Town Square, Lakewood Route 70 Flea Market or Long Branch, NJ. Anywhere the Lord leads, his prayer group will go with a tent and Bibles and pray for peoples spiritual and physical needs.
The ministry also helps with the physical needs such as food, clothing, etc., but as Bob shared, "They need to be fed and clothed for that moment but that specific moment shouldn't be everything. It should be their future that we are concerned about." So the Ministry's priority is to win souls to Christ. People will wait in line at Bob's tent to receive prayer, and lives are changed! Bob stated, "I had a police officer looking at our "PRAYER" sign. He came over to me and said. "Oh, you pray for people?" I thought he was going to give us a ticket for setting the tent up there. Instead, he says, "Can you pray for my grandmother? She's very sick." I told him that our prayer group can pray with him for his grandmother. We prayed and led him and he came to the Lord! The police officer said he was going home and talk to his wife and children. Two weeks later, he came back to tell us that his grandmother's tests were negative!" When God leads and you follow, things happen and lives change. "There are times that we have a line of people and we can't get to them all, and then they start walking away and the opportunity is lost for us to lead them to the Lord.
The Ministry needs all the help it can get. Bob's heart is real and it's his main desire to lead everyone to the Kingdom. The Ministry is doing great, but there are more needs out there to be met. If you are interested in helping this ministry, you can contact Bob Miller at 732-806-1GOD (1463). There is a 24/7 voice mail to leave a message. You can also check out the ministry at www.KingdomOfGodNeedsMinistry.org.
