OUR NEW TO US "HOME AWAY FROM HOME"

We are so blessed for God to have provided us a "home" to expand our ministry and to allow us to be more available to pastors and churches! 

December 12, 2018

Dear Praying Friends,

            Psalm 119:27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

2018. What a wonderful year! We are so blessed to be able to sit here now and reflect on the “wondrous things” that God did this past year, and the way that God has blessed the Nehemiah Ministry that He allows my family and I to have.

            First, we are thankful that God allowed us to see nearly 100 souls trust Christ as their personal Saviour. What a wonderful Saviour that He is! We were also blessed to be a part of seeing many other decisions made, rededications to God, baptisms, encouraging the saints, and many more. We truly do serve a great God.

My family and I were able to be a part of over 60 different ministries this past year, and are thankful to be used of God. On the Nehemiah part of our ministry, I was able to help a church remodel their auditorium, build a pulpit and communion table for another church, build and install a new church sign, help install new flooring in a pastors home, install several new doors and windows in multiple churches, replace stairs, complete a makeover in a church foyer/entryway, rebuild a deck for an assistant pastor, remodel a bathroom in a parsonage, and several other projects for many different churches. I am thankful that God allows me to use what he has given me to His Glory!

            God also blessed us with a “new to us” home away from home. We were offered an amazing deal on a 43 ft fifth wheel camper/trailer with a 2005 Chevy 1 ton dually truck to pull it. After much prayer and counsel, God moved on the hearts of so many folks, and we were able to give a good down payment, and God is still supplying the monthly payment on time, every time. God has allowed my family to be on the road, in this ministry, and it is such a blessing to have this trailer to help out with expense of housing and it also gives us the ability to travel more and farther to try to reach more folks for Christ. Ephesians 3:20, 21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

            This past August, we passed the 5 year mile marker in this ministry. In the past 5 years, God has allowed us to see over 600 people trust Christ!

            As we look forward to the future, please pray with us for health and safety as we travel, and that God would continue to use us to be a blessing to every person that we meet, and as a witness to the lost. Please pray with my wife Sandy, my daughter Lilly, and me as we strive to be servants of God. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.

Your servants for Christ,

The Watts Family

Dear Praying Friends,

            Another year has come and gone, another year full of serving God and allowing Him to use us to His glory, another year of God’s blessings and His mercies. I am once again humbled at the greatness of God and His goodness to us.

            The year 2016 was a very busy year as God opened doors in miraculous ways! We were honored to be in many different meetings, churches, directing/helping in Vacation Bibles Schools, preachers meetings, and on and on. We truly do serve a great God!

            For this new year coming up, after much prayer and Godly counsel, we have decided to continue the conferences that my dad started, The Foundation Conferences. We have been asked to continue these with a focus on the King James Bible, using the Antique Bible Collection that God has given us to travel with and to display and share with God’s people!

            In the last 12 months, God has allowed our ministry to be used in 45 meetings, see 91 souls trust Christ as their Saviour, 13 following the Lord in Believer’s Baptism, many people rededicating their lives to Christ, and 8 surrendered to full time Christian service. We serve a great God!

Thank you for your prayers for us, your support/love gifts which help enable us to accomplish God’s will for souls to be saved, people built in the faith, and ministries strengthened. God has miraculously met each and every need, physical, monetary, and spiritual. Please continue to pray for Lilly, Sandy, and I, our ministry, safety and health as we travel, and that God would continue to use us to point souls to Him.

Thank You and God bless,

Your servants for Christ,

The Watts Family

Proverbs 3:5-6

Another of the Antique Bibles in the collection is an original printing of the Spanish 1569 Bear Bible, “Biblia del Oso.” It is in GREAT condition and it is our honor to carry and display.

La Biblia, que es, los sacros libros del Vielo y Nuevo Testamento. 
Translated by Casiodoro de Reina. 1569.

The earliest complete Bible printed in Castilian Spanish was translated by Casiodoro de Reina (c. 1520-1594) of Seville, who fled the Inquisition in 1557 and preached to Spanish Protestants throughout Europe. Emboldened by the Council of Trent (1545-63), which had endorsed vernacular Bibles, Reina based his translation on the Spanish Old Testament known as the “Ferrara Bible” (1553), the Latin translation by Santi Pagnini (1470-1536), and various Greek sources for the New Testament. Although editions of this Bible continued to appear outside of Spain, it was not until 1790 that the Spanish crown allowed the first Castilian Bible to be printed within Spain. Known as the “Biblia del Oso,” the “Bear Bible” of 1569 derives its nickname from the woodcut on its title page showing a bear retrieving honey from a beehive, a reference to the sweetness of the Lord’s words (Psalm 119). Accompanying the woodcut are the Hebrew and Spanish texts of Isaiah 40:8, “The word of our God shall stand forever.”

This copy of the Foxe's Book of Martyrs was printed in 1583. It was printed while John Foxe was still alive (died in 1587). We are honored to carry this book detailing the lives, sufferings and triumphant deaths of the early Christian and the Protestant Martyrs. The Foxe's Book of Martyrs is an encouragement to live for God, and to do so by studying the Word of God- The King James Bible. This book contains over 150 illustrations, all of which are hand made wood-cuts, used for the printing process. The reading of the Book of Martyrs will truly give you an increased appreciatioin for your Bible and for your freedom to worship!

So far this year, my family and I have had the honor of helping/directing 2 Vacation Bible Schools. God has blessed and allowed us to lead 41 souls to Christ and see 11 baptized! God has also allowed us to see a total of 72 souls saved so far this year. We serve a great God!

This is just a little poem/recap of the last VBS- Jesus is my superhero- that we just finished.

The past week was great, what fun we all had,
And now that it's over, I am partly sad...
The kids all looked great in the costumes they wore,
We did crafts and snacks, and they all wanted more...
The children worked hard to invite friend and neighbor,
7 precious souls trusted Christ as their Saviour.
The boys win the offering? No, that's not the case,
The girls, they did win, so I took a pie in the face!
We learned bible lessons, our hero is Jesus,
Wherever we go, we know that HE always sees us...
The devil was made to run fast away,
Because of the scripture the kids could all say...
The helpers worked hard, and showed up every night,
Without them it's not possible to make things go right!
Now the decorations are down, put away til next year,
But the joy of the children, I can still hear!
So many folks, their time and money sacrificed,
To show the TRUE SUPERHERO is only Jesus Christ!

Thank you to each and every person for helping, and I seriously can't wait to do it again next year!
