WVIW A Shared Ministry by Johnny Moffitt

     Recently I preached in two churches with the same name, Christian Renewal Church.  Sunday morning I was at the church in Hilton Head, South Carolina, and Sunday evening at the church in Brunswick, Georgia.  An extra special blessing of the weekend was that my oldest son, Terry, who lives in Hilton head, was able to be with  me for the entire weekend.  After joining me Sunday morning for breakfast and the service, he traveled with me from Hilton head to Brunswick.  He went to the evening service with me and then we had a wonderful dinner together.
     We talked into the night and then stayed together in the church Missionary House.  The following morning we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with some old friends and then drove to Savannah, where I caught a flight back to Dallas and Terry drove home to Hilton Head.
     All the way back to Dallas I thought about how special the weekend was for me.  Not only because I had two opportunities to share the Gospel, be with special friends like Pastors Gilbert Posey and Bill Ligon, but spend so much quality time with my son, Terry.
     What I realized is that ministry is better when shared with wonderful people.  Worldwide Voice in the Wilderness is all about connecting with wonderful people.  We want to connect with you.  In Acts 13:1-3, we see that when people connect and worship, fast, pray and send or go, great things happen in the Kingdom of God.  
     At WVIW we are worshiping, fasting, praying, and going.  Why don’t you find a place where you can connect with us.  Join our team and we will share ministry together.  There are many opportunities where together we will see great things happen for God.  Let’s connect and see what God will do.  I believe it will be a fantastic experience for both of us.

Travel Companions by Travis Moffitt

“I shall be telling this with a sigh 
Somewhere ages and ages hence; 
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, 
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.” 

-Robert Frost

Frost’s poem of choice and chance is very telling even these many decades after he penned the words. The Road Not Taken has become one of the most quoted poems in recent American poetic history. I believe not just because is excellent rhythm and rhyme, but because of its poignant truth: the path you choose today will make all the difference in your life tomorrow.

The part he leaves out is why that path impacts us so. Why does a journey change us? Why does one trail make us different and not just lead us to a different destination? I believe it has everything to do with our traveling companions. Frost calls it the “one less traveled by” implying that there were others who had gone that way. Others who would become his fellow sojourners. Others who would experience the same change as he.

I have found in life that as I journey for Jesus, the ones I journey with have a significant impact on how I am changed by the trail. Jesus said it this was in Matthew 4:19, “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” The emphasis being on the “follow me” and the “making” of someone new.

At Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness we value life change. We also know that life change occurs as we walk out this ministry calling with faithful partners like you. As we minister alongside one another in a prison or on foreign soil we are each mutually made into someone new by the shared power of the Holy Spirit. You are made new and we are made new by one another. Co-laboring causes us to be co-made into a new creation in Christ Jesus. How wonderful!

Over the next 12 months WVIW will have several opportunities for you and I to work together to reach Neglected & Forgotten communities around the world. We will conduct several in-prison Marriage Seminars and international trips to places like Mexico, Honduras, England and India.  We invite you to come go with us. Come co-labor with us and let us discover together the God’s making of something new in our hearts.

You're Invited | A Letter From Our Directors

Marriage Seminar WVIW.com

YOU'RE INVITED!

Two simple words with such a powerful message. What a wonderful statement. Two words we all love to hear.  Two words that can evoke such feelings of warmth and welcome.  To be included.  To be wanted.  To be intentionally brought in.  You're invited.

This was Jesus' call to a new life.  His simple invitation, "Follow me" changed the lives of those who would answer with the positive RSVP.  "Come, and I will make you to become...  Drink from me and you will thirst no more...  Join me...  Follow me...".  Jesus laid out before His disciples and before us an invitation to a new life and an invitation to a new way of ministry.  He invited us to join Him on a journey to win the world, to reach the unreached, to love the lost.

Today that invitation is still available.  At Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness, we are diligently answering that invitation every day.  We are working to win back the marriages of the thousands of incarcerated men in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  The divorce rate of these families with a spouse in prison is 97%.   We are working to win the Garifuna people in northern Honduras; a people who are so close to us geographically and yet still less than 4% Christian.  We are working to train prison ministers in Mexico, a country torn by drug wars and corruption.  We are working to mobilize an army of Christians around the world so eager to do something for God but just not sure where to begin.  This is our invitation.  This is our call.

Honduras 2011 WVIW.com

Mexico 2010 WVIW.com

This is your official invitation.  This is our open door to you.  Please join us.  We have found over the years that there are few joys like the passion of shared ministry work.  We are daily aware of the fact that God has not called to this walk alone.  He has called us to walk with you and you with us.  So, you're invited.  You're invited to help us save marriages.  You're invited to partner as we evangelize the Garifuna people.  You're invited to join us as we encourage ministers in Mexico.  You're invited to go beyond the prayer room.  You're invited to reach beyond the donation.  You're invited to come and put boots on the ground.  We want you and your participation in the work of this ministry.  We want to share the journey with you.

This year we will return to Mexico to work with a local ministry that is literally reaching hundreds of thousands of people for Christ.  They have invited us to encourage their leaders and to train workers in their prisons.  This is a unique opportunity to reach a people with limited access to the gospel.  You can join us on this trip.

In 2011 we will return to Honduras twice to continue a work reaching out to the Garifuna people.  We will be constructing a fish farm that will aid in their food supply.  We will also be encouraging their community leadership and sharing the gospel with this unreached people group.  You can stand along side us in this remote community.

Between August of 2010 and December of 2011 we will conduct 6 inmate marriage seminars literally saving dozens of marriages.  These families with no hope are being transformed by your presence. Join us.

At WVIW, we truly value your presence and participation in all of our ministry activity.  We are not offering you a tour, we are inviting you on a co-laboring journey that will have eternal impact for us all.  Please come and join us.  

To learn more about these and other opportunities to get involved you can visit our web site at wviw.com.  We look forward to going with you.
