Operating In God’s Love

Each one of us has the capacity to love—and the capacity to love more. God
is love and if you are a Believer that Love lives inside of you. Since God’s love is
infinite, our love is infinite, if we are operating in His love. It’s so good to know
that love is the one resource we can never run out of.

Because we lean on God’s love, we

know that the love we demonstrate won’t

There is also a teaching about High Hopes and the impor-

tance of obtaining your goals. In this issue, my eldest daughter
shares how her weight loss success opened the door for her to
share her story with the nation via an infomercial. We are also
celebrating the news of Michael and Tanya Amey who have
recently been named pastor and first lady of our Namibia
church in Africa.

I am excited about the things God is doing our min-

istry and the lives of Believers who will take Him at His
Word. May His love overflow in your life!

The “Race, Religion & Racism” teaching is an exhaustive 5-year study. Although controversial to some, it
exposes the myths about race and racism, and challenges the idea of racial subjection within the realm of
religion and religious practices. The lessons contained in this series are eye opening and more relevant
today than ever before. Apostle Price leaves no stone unturned.

 Dear Friend:
It may seem like a long time from now, but before you know it, it will be
time to make your final payment for our Aug. 13, 2011 cruise to the Eastern
Caribbean aboard the Oasis of the Seas. Final payments are due 90 days before
we sail on or about May 13th. But, before we talk about payments, let’s talk
about the cruise.
By the time you read this, Angela and I will have already completed our
site inspection cruise aboard the ship. We’ve been doing this since 1984. For
a while we thought these trips may not be necessary and we stopped, only to
find that when we got back on a ship we had already sailed on and thought we
knew, the ship had gone to dry-dock, been cut in half and had a complete cen-
ter section added – and the builders added decks 30 feet long and the width of
the ship. To make matters worse, the cruise line changed the itinerary and I was
telling the people we were going one place and the ship actually went some-
where else altogether. Needless to say, we have been going on these site inspec-
tions ever since.
We have an addition to our cruise lineup. The singing sensation Angelo
and Veronica has signed up to be our ministers in music, just for us. This will
be their first cruise ever and they are almost as excited as we are to have them.
We know they will add a musical dimension to our cruise that will enhance your
overall experience. We know the Apostle and Pastor Fred, Jr. are going to min-
ister as the Holy Spirit leads and we can’t wait.
Don’t forget - the reason we started doing these cruises is to give you, the
sheep, an opportunity to invite those unsaved friends and relatives to a great
cruise, hit them with the Word and get them saved, sanctified and filled with the
Holy Ghost and maybe even healed. Remember, it’s sheep that beget sheep, it’s
your job. We’ll provide the venue, you provide the sheep.

So, call 800-247-1899
