Dear Fellow Traveler,

I hope that all is well with you and with these letters I try not to clutter up your life too much with junk mail.  I frequently am in conversation with pastors and ministers throughout the apostolic movement both in and out of various organizations.  Wherever you may be serving, you need to know that I have never seen the pressure that the ministry is under at this current time so don’t fall into the lie that something is wrong with you, this is the spirit of the age.  There is much resistance to almost any kind of spiritual leadership these days and some are dealing with outright rebellion in their local assemblies.  At times it is mind-numbing and soul-withering what we have to soldier on through.  But if you are wondering, I do have your name in my prayer journal and I pray for you on a regular basis.  To some degree I was texting some of you on our prayer revival nights in a group text but have backed off from that since there were times that I felt that it was perhaps self-serving to do so.  We need the strength of the Spirit and the power of the Word to surround us because we cannot accomplish the purpose of God without it.
