A Blast Of The Ram's Horn
by Ralph LaFlamme

We feel so privileged to be able to see God touch lives in so many meaningful ways. And, it’s always exciting to see God’s hand move in particularly difficult situations! This newsletter is meant to be a ‘blast on the ram’s horn’ giving God glory by announcing these many ways He demonstrates His love.

When this ministry was first established, it primarily served incarcerated youths and their families, especially painful circumstances that can easily lead to despair. The Miller family has been with us in this ministry from the beginning. While prison ministry continues to be an important focus, our other outreaches are also touching lives in significant ways. For example, more couples and singles have been coming to us for pastoral counseling and deliverance.

This has been a busy time of the year with Seders, Shabbats and presentations on the Jewish Roots of Christianity. We are already getting churches scheduling us for Seders next year. Diane is preparing to give a presentation on anti-Semitism that is both fascinating and comprehensive. This is especially timely considering the dramatic rise in such hate crimes.

This year started off with a bang! On New Year’s Day, Diane dislocated her right shoulder. It has been a painful recovery for her. Near the end of January, I had a rather frightening attack of shingles to the right side of my face and head. Fortunately, my sight was not affected even though the area around my eye, including my eyelid, was involved. Thank you for your prayers and the Lord for His protection and healing!

Last year I was able to put our ministry online. You can also find all issues of our newsletter there at our website: www.zechmin.org
