Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Greeting in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, I am writing to you as a brother and fellow laborer in the Gospel Ministry. I am Pastor Charles M. Perkins of God's House Full Gospel Church in Battle Creek Michigan, to give you a little bit about myself I was saved at 10 years old in Kentucky and at age 12 I began teaching Sunday School starting with the adults and then moving to the younger children, this is the way that the Lord instructed me to do so. At the age of 15 the Lord called me to preach the gospel and I began the work of the Gospel Ministry. Then at age 16 the Lord called me heavily into deliverance ministry. When I turned 18 I received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Throughout the years I have evangelized and even pastored several different places, and seen the Lord Do mighty miracles and the best was seeing people saved. In 2007 the Lord led me to come to Michigan from Kentucky to meet my wife (of 5 years). Since then I have went from not having a place to live to buying a house on land contract and working a full time job as a Direct Care Giver and also Pastoring a Church that the Lord had led us to open in 2011, We are incorporated with the State of Michigan as a non-profit organization. God has truly blessed us.
I am contacting you because as I
was sitting at work praying one night the Lord spoke to me and instructed me to
write a letter to the body of Christ (His church) and to request the help from
his people to raise the sum of $28,000.00 and to do this my wife and I was to
start a building fund for our church by opening a separate account in the bank
that the church’s account is in just for a building fund and for my wife and I
to put the first $120.00 into it and so we have, and to contact the body of
Christ and first off ask them to join in prayer with us for the work he has
called us to do and to pray and see if the Lord is leading you to be one of the
ones that the Lord is leading to help with a one-time gift of $120.00. As I
prayed I asked the Lord why he was having us to put in that specific amount of
$120.00, the Holy Ghost opened up to me the meaning behind the number of 120...
- · According to the Word we find in the book of Act that Jesus told his disciples on the Mountain right before he ascended back to the Father for them to go to the upper room and wait for the promise, and there they would be endued with power from upon high as the Holy Ghost came upon them which he had promised
- · In Acts 2 we find that they did so as he had commanded them....Here is the key parts the Lord brought out they were all in one mind and one accord. What does that mean it means that they were all in agreement of why they were there and also they were obeying what they were told to do...that is the big mystery of being in one mind and one accord
- · When the Lord opened this up to me he showed me that even if we are not in the same building we are the body of Christ and we as the body of Christ need to be in one mind and one accord for us to see the out pouring that the Word of God tells us is happening in these last days, and to do so he has instructed me to write to you and ask for your backing in the ministry he has set forth here in Battle Creek Michigan
- · Now back to what I was saying about the 120...When we read about the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, something we find is the number of people who were in that upper room that day, it was 120. After they were filled they came out of that room declaring the gospel and look how many people were saved just by that one message. When you read to the end of the chapter in Acts 2, it also says "The Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved."
This is one of the ways that we
can be part of the 120...the other is if you would ever decide to come up to
Michigan and want to come and minister at the Church you are very welcome and
it's an open invite anytime. The last is the Lord instructed me to ask you to
pray and see if he is touching your heart to help us out financially with this
building fund that we are doing so we can get into a Church Building we have
been looking at for a while now. It is bigger than the one that we are in now
and in a lot better shape the furnace and hot water tank are almost new, the Lord has told me that when we get into the
bigger place we will grow very fast. He
has told me to contact 240 people including ministries, churches, and etc. by
letter and even more my email to consider giving a one-time love gift of
$120.00. When that was revealed to me I
got excited. I firmly believe that even if you cannot give $120.00 then what
ever the Lord deals with you to give to help this ministry will go farther than
ever imagined. I know there are some
that the Lord is going to lead to give more than the 120, and some he is going
to lead to give less but when it all finished the ones who have listened and
obeyed the Lord no matter what they give will be as the Lord has shown me very blessed
and this way we can see the main reason the Lord saved us and still has us here
and that is to see the Lost saved delivered and healed by Jesus. I also know there are some that cannot give
but as I stated earlier if you are obedient and just contact us and let us know
you are praying for us and do whatever the Lord is leading you I know we can
all be part of seeing the Lord add to the church daily such as should be saved
and we can be the church as the book of Acts describes in one mind and one
accord. If you cannot give please pray about whom the Lord would have you
forward this letter to that may be able to.
If the Lord is leading you to help
us please contact us at 269-719-2613 or 269-589-2471 or you can mail a check or
money order to us at God's House Full Gospel Church 22 Roseneath Ave. Battle
Creek MI 49037, you can also contact us by email at revcmperkins@yahoo.com and through our website at http://changinglivesministriesinc.weebly.com

read this and pray about it and be blessed in Jesus name. We look forward to
hearing from you soon.
