Dear Fellow Believer in Christ:

Greetings in the name of our Lord! 
We pray that you are in good health and that God is with you daily! 

 

 

The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him. (NIV)  Proverbs 23:24

 

 

 

FATHER'S DAY

 

 

THE MOST WONDERFUL FATHER OF THEM ALL



Well, here it is Father's Day again. 

If you're a father, I'd like to say first, 

you are a special person! 

 

I want to also tell you about The Most Wonderful Father Of Them All.  When Jesus talked about the Father, He did not just call Him "My Father." he also called God "Our Father" some twenty-one times in the Gospels. I want to encourage you today and help you to rejoice in your relationship with God.

 

I have a great verse for you fathers that is found in Jos 1:9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. This was given to Moses, and we also encourage you to believe that this verse is also given to you. This month, I turn 88 years of age on June 3rd and I am so glad that I did the best for our children that I know that I could. I am not only father to five children, but a grandfather to nine grandchildren and now we have a great grandchild who is now over 8 years old! Now that I've learned a little more on raising children, I could still do a little better even at this age.

 

Another verse for you dads: Jos 1:5  There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

Jos 1:6  Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give them. 

Jos 1:7  Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 

Jos 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 



Here's a poem for you that is so meaningful.

 

 

I'm am so thankful that I came to know about my Saviour (Jesus) as a young boy and then at the age of 16, Jesus came into my bedroom when I was dying of polio and I accepted Him as my personal Savior. You who know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know how wonderful it is to have Jesus live in your heart. He lives in you and you have Our Father(Jesus) to help lead and guide you. How would we have made it without knowing Jesus, guiding and helping us. If you have not received Jesus as your Saviour, It is so easy, just pray and ask Jesus to

forgive of your sins, and then accept this scripture in your heart,

For God So Loved the World

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

Joh 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

Joh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 

Joh 3:20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 

Joh 3:21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 

 

With Jesus, we now can be the Father we should be.

 

I again thank Jesus that my dad, Harold Ashpole became a born again Christian while I was yet young.

 

Don't put it off any longer, accept Jesus now, right now, as your own personal Saviour.

Honoring Powerful Women of God~  

In celebration of Mother's Day

 

2 Timothy 1:5, 6 -3:14, 15

2 Timothy 1:5  When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

2 Timothy 1:6  Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

2 Timothy 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

2 Timothy 3:15  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

 

Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother, Eunice, were Jewish, but became believers In Christ Jesus later.  It is said that his mother married an unbeliever, a Greek, who also later became a follower of Jesus. Eunice raised her son, Timothy, with the word of God along with his grandmother Lois' help.  Timothy eventually became the pastor of the largest church in Ephesus!  Thank you, Lord, for these Powerful Women of God!    

 

Growing up, my mother, Emily became a Christian after she married my father.   Even though she and my father were members of a denominational church, they did not commit their hearts fully to Christ till years later.  During the depression, Dad worked for the WPA in bridgework for 50 cents a day.  He struggled to support our large family on such a small salary.

 

I was born in the early depression days of 1929.  I remember one Sunday, when I was a small child, my dad told mom that he was not going to church and told mom that she was not going to go either.  My high spirited mother, being committed to Christ told him, Yes, she WAS going!

My mother took her other hand and slapped my dad hard on the face. She exclaimed:  "You will NEVER stop me from putting Jesus first in my life!".  I screamed, "daddy, you leave my mom alone!"  And we marched out of our home and walked to church.  Mom had no trouble going to church after that and my dad also came with us. He later committed his life fully to our Lord Jesus!  Thank you Lord, for this Powerful Woman of God!

 

When Bonnie Lou and I came to Hawaii in 1967, we had many mothers and women that adopted our family into our lives.  It was wonderful because we were so many thousand miles from our home state of Minnesota.  Some of these blessed women were the Bloom sisters who pastored Bethany Assembly.  Pastor and Sister Okuhara, Pastor and Sister Blake.

 

In turn, Bonnie Lou has become mom to so many Pastors and their families, along with many of our Island people here in Hawaii, throughout the South Pacific and Atlantic Islands and halfway around the world. 

Twice, I was with Youth with a Mission in the Bahama Islands and the Samoan Islands.  I was in charge of a group of college students and I was their Evangelist for three months at a time.

 

When Pastor Chris and Sister Bartolome (from Bethel Chapel Assembly in Waipahu) went to the Philippines, they called me away to speaking engagements.  Bonnie Lou always encouraged me to fulfill my calling. She never complained about all the guests she has hosted throughout the years - there have been hundreds of missionaries and evangelists that I would invite over for dinner, etc.

 

Bonnie Lou has traveled with me thousands of miles by car, motor home and via air, serving in ministry.  There were crusades, camps, District Council meetings, General Councils, revivals.  My dear wife has also helped Women's Crusades in the Pacific Islands.  The largest one was in the Marshall Islands for a week teaching on prayer with a thousand women attending!

 

Bonnie Lou is the perfect wife and mom to our family.   She is now 89 years of age and I can hear God say: "Bonnie Lou, well done thou good and faithful servant!!"

 

Now, our children Brenda and Bradley are helping us here at our home to care for both Bonnie Lou and I in this season of our lives.  Our son Bryan and his wife, Shirley, are pastoring Honolulu Assembly here in Hawaii.

Brent and Bobbie are in Children's Ministries in DePere, Wisconsin.  We also had a son, Dennis, who went to be with Jesus at the age of one year old.

 

I cannot say enough about Bonnie Lou for she has always been by my side in our calling to obey our Lord, Jesus.  Thank you Lord, for this Powerful Woman of God!
