"8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." -- 1 Corinthians 13:8-13

Date: 16 July 2005 Time: 9:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. Location: Hilton Garden Inn, Mobile, Alabama Cost: $10 per person RSVP: 1 June 2005
"23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching." -- Hebrews 10:23-25
What is a Jubilee? Princeton University defines jubilee as special anniversary or the celebration of it. This July, we wish to celebrate the founding of One Body Ministries. It has been a long year, but we have accomplished much. The ministry has gone from being an idea in a notebook to a full fledged ministry. We are incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the state of Mississippi and recognized as a tax exempt (501(c)3) religious organization by the IRS.
In addition to the legal wrangling, we have set up house keeping, by purchasing some much needed office supplies, and we had a computer donated to our cause. We were also blessed to be able to provide some relief to the victims of Hurricane Ivan in the Pensacola, FL Area. Our mailing list has grown by over 50% in the last year, and our message is being spread widely throughout the internet.
However we do not wish to only look back over the past year, but look toward the coming year as well. Now that we are founded and grounded, it is time to go out and fulfill the purpose of our ministry: Uniting believers into one body to win souls and further the cause of Christ! We wish to celebrate the calling of our Lord to bring His people together.
We have an ambitious plan to accomplish this in the next year and the years to follow. This brings us to the purpose of the jubilee. We will discuss the direction the ministry will take, and the methods we will use to get there. In addition, it will be a time of celebration. We will celebrate the past, celebrate the future, and celebrate each other. The jubilee will be a time of fellowship, a time of worship, and a time of praise.
Please RSVP by e-mailing Todd Uebele by 1 June, 2005. Directions to the meeting location and the agenda for the meeting itself will be sent out electronically the first week of June.
Whether or not you will be able to make it, please keep the meeting, the ministry, and all those who will be traveling to the event in your prayers.

Father Make Them One is now fully completed. It has been edited, edited, edited some more, then re-edited. It is now as complete as it will ever be. It's has so many eyes picking out errors and typos. The search goes on for a literary agent to help get it published. Please keep both the book and the process of getting it published in your prayers?
Please continue to remember Matthew Moorehead. He had a horrible four wheeler accident and is in very bad shape. He has spent weeks in the hospital and is not only paralyzed, he can barely talk. His recovery is going to a be a long and painful struggle, and the treatment is going to cost the family $1500 a day. Still, his family is boldly going before the Lord and asking for a full restoration of health and trust that He will provide to meet their needs. Please pray in agreement with his family and his church and ask for his healing.
A Texas pastor by the name of John Modgling was asked to tender his resignation after preaching a sermon on Religion vs. Relationship. In that sermon, he gave the six marks of a dead religion and the six marks living relationship. Mr. Modgling was preaching God's Grace in a very legalistic type of church and was fired for doing so. Please remember him and his wife as they look for another job and try to make ends meet until then.
A family in Florida in currently needs prayer. Elizabeth was very sick with the flu when her husband, Patrick, went to the store for something for her. When he got home, she was unconscious on the floor, she had gone a "significant amount of time" without oxygen to her brain. She is now in a coma. They can't do the tests they need because her brain is still too swollen but they don't think she will ever speak again or have anything near normal motor skills if she does wake up on. They have two young kids. Please keep the entire family in your prayers.
Please remember the 56th Brigade Combat Team. This brave unit from Texas is still in Iraq and will be for some time. Please keep them and their families, and the Iraqi people in your prayers.
