Branson 2010 is now history, and was such a blessed spiritual success that many asked to have another gathering before

next year's Branson. So….. We’ve scheduled a ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH SEPTEMBER SPIRITUAL SOCIAL, Labor Day weekend September 3, 4, 5, 2010 (See page 22). It will be just for Christians on our mailing list, and will be a weekend of fellowship, singing and sing-spiration, recreation and blessed sweet church fellowship. There will be classes on Christian living with special emphasis for our youth. We hope a lot of you will be able to come, and because of the faithful who tithe, we are able to offer FREE camp to the youth on our Ministry. KNIGHTS OF CHRIST was the name of the Men’s choral singing group in Branson and was per-haps the biggest hit of the whole Branson bash. If enough men can and do come to our September gathering, we hope to do a recording. It would be great to have an album made just of Christian solider songs. As I’ve stated before, one day I was talking to the Lord saying, “They’ve taken this country by music,” and an inaudible communication was given to me, “so, take it back by music.” This all hap-pened about the time our music leader rode off into the sunset. Since that time we’ve been making music. We now have three “Scriptures for America Circuit Riding Preacher Songbooks”, and are working on number four!

It would be great to have a Knights for Christ CD album made as well. Read the writing we put in the Branson, Mo. Knights of Christ Songbook (page 5). DAY OF THE LORD EVENTS are about us: Oil spill in the Gulf, Fires in Arizona, earthquakes in Canada, floods in TN and Ar-kansas, etc… Be Faithful! (2 Peter 3:14) ‘HONOR THE FATHER’ was the title of our June 20, 2010 sermon, delivered on what the world calls Father’s Day. The fol-lowing Scripture could have and probably should have been put in it: Honor the LORD from your wealth, And from the first of all your produce; Proverbs 3:9 Because there are those who do, we are able to do all we do here. God has promised to honor those who honor Him (1 Samuel 3:30) and He’ll keep His promise of Malachi 3:10 who do. "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. "Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes," says the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:10,11 Remember its because the faithful tithe that we are now reaching millions in Eastern Europe every week. Please regularly

pray for blessed spiritual success in reaching the lost with this new ministry outreach. We are probably the only major voice over there teach-ing and preaching the true Gospel message, and how to obey it i.e. the Bible plan of salvation (Acts 2:38). Keep us in your prayers and know we keep you in ours.

New Outreach DVD’s The NEW “Scriptures FROM America” Video Outreach is being made available, on DVD, for those that want to further help support this NEW venture into Europe and the Ukraine.

An offering of $10.00 per episode would sure assist in helping to fund this NEW Outreach. We do not expect the European audience we are reaching to be able to initially support it, so your help and support is needed. We are honored to be able to present the Word of God to our

brethren over there (and here at home as well), from the unique Cowboy and Western perspective that comes from this Ministry. The first episode features Pastor Peters relat-ing a sick and dying colt here on the Radio Ranch to the need for us to have the ‘pure milk of the Word’,

while the second episode finds Pastor Peters bottle-feeding a ‘bum calf’ here at the ranch, and comparing that to feeding on the Word of God. You can join Pastor and his horse, down on the Laramie River, in the third episode, as he explains the validity of the Bible. These are the types of teachings and themes of study that are found on these introductory programs. You can order all six episodes that we currently have com-pleted (on DVD), and not only help support this new Outreach, but locally can use them to reach the un-churched in your own hometown. After all, everybody likes a cowboy. These DVD’s are a good way to introduce others to true Christianity. Sad to say, many in this country also need that simple introduction to the milk of the Word as well.

History will tell that when Men of God got together in Branson, MO and were singing "Christian the Brave" in choral fashion, at the same time, there was an anti-Christ 'sing' at the White House, led by Paul McCartney. 'They' sang "Hey Jude" (Jude is synonymous with Jew).

It’s 2010, the year we win, the year men become MEN of God again.

When men become men of God again they sing to their God. Jesus and His men did this when they came together. In one of their last gatherings together, they sang. We never know when our last gathering together is so as we gather let us sing like the men of old. And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Matthew 26:30 Singing was an integral part of the early victorious church, and for the church to be victorious again men must and need to sing again.

...speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making mel-ody with your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:19 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one an-other with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:16-17 Note from these verses the attitude and spirit in which to sing from the heart, with thankfulness for all things, all in the name of Jesus Christ. Sing in unity and oneness as the body of Christ. ...that with one accord you may with one voice glo-rify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:6 Sing as the chosen race of 1 Peter 2:9. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excel-lencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Peter 2:9 The following verse is self explanatory. Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the LORD Him-self is God; It is He who has made us, and not we our-selves; We are His people and the sheep of His pas-ture. Psalm 100:2-3

Music & Singing I shall sing with the spirit and I shall sing with the mind also. 1 Corin-thians 14:15

(When you sing, think of the words and sing them with spirit and with mind.) What is the outcome then? I shall pray with the spirit and I shall pray with the mind also; I shall sing with the spirit and I shall sing with the mind also. 1 Corinthians 14:15 Singing is an order from the King and is for the King: for the King is worthy to be worshipped with praise and joy, and even bowed down to in worship. Moreover, King Hezekiah and the officials or-dered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David and Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with joy, and bowed down and worshiped. 2 Chronicles 29:30 THINGS HAPPEN WHEN MEN OF GOD SO SING 1. The presence of God becomes more pronounced. Yet Thou art holy, O Thou who art enthroned upon the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3 "Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," declares the LORD. Zechariah 2:10 2. It honors our God. You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. Psalm 22:23 "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High; And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." Psalm 50:14-15

I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glo-rify Thy name forever. Psalm 86:12 3. It gives victory over our enemies.

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me; And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. Psalm 27:6 It’s 2010, the year we win, the year men become MEN of God again. And when they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed. 2 Chronicles 20:22 4. It drives demons and dark forces away. So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him. 1 Samuel 16:23 5. It will cause angels to come. 6. It will affect a man mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. 7. It is a weapon of war and a valuable warfare tactic "O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? For we are pow-erless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on Thee." And all Judah was standing before the LORD, with their infants, their wives, and their children. Then in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite of the sons of Asaph; and he said, "Listen, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: thus says the LORD to you, 'Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God's. 'Tomorrow go down against them.

Behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley in front of the wilderness of Jeruel. 'You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the LORD is with you." And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabi-tants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD. And the Levites, from the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel, with a very loud voice. And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, O Judah and inhabi-tants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God, and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed." And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, "Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting." And when they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir,

who had come against Judah; so they were routed. For the sons of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir destroying them completely, and when they had finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 2 Chronicles 20:12-23

Dear Pastor Peters, We shed some tears today over the story you told about your father. I am wondering when you will be able to start broad-casting into Western Europe and into England? I was read-ing that there are more homeless children on the streets in England, now, than there were in Charles Dickens' day. Also, the people of England have the most surveillance, with all the spy cams around, than any nation on earth. My mother lived in Europe during the early 1960's and she said it was bad then, so you can imagine how bad it is now. I look forward to your reply. In Him, from Texas via Email SFA Reply: Dear Elizabeth, We intend to look into this, broadcasting into Europe. It all takes time and money. Pastor Peters - - - - - - - -

Branson 2010 Review "Now I know what true fellowship is…" This quote, from a long-time member of our congrega-tion, and first-time SFA Branson gathering attendee, pretty well sums up our 2010 Scriptures for America Branson Conference. From the Men's Leadership Training, held just prior to the regu-lar conference, to the closing songs and message, this year truly was one of blessed, true Christian worship and fellowship.

The men that (applied, were accepted, and) attended the 2nd Men's Christian Leadership Training were presented with spiritual truths and insight that will continue to help them in their daily Christian walk. The men shared stories and life experi-ences, encouraged one another, and strengthened each other in prayer. It truly was a time of blessed fellowship with the breth-ren, with true Men of God! As the conference opened on Friday afternoon, friends and family joined for songs and music in Praise and worship to the King of Kings Je-sus Christ! And, as the Holy Spirit was invited to attend and welcomed in song, He surely came and blessed the entire weekend. SFA's New video Outreach to Russia, the Ukraine and

the world, Scriptures FROM America, was debuted Friday night in Branson, and debuted to the world Saturday night on free-to-air satellite. This new Out-reach is in keeping with the Great Com-mission given to the Apostles.

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Mark 16:15-16 (The first 6 episodes of this new 'Scriptures FROM America' video outreach are available on DVD for an offering of $10 per DVD. This will help fund and support this new outreach to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, all over the world. See page 3 for details.) Acres of Diamonds men came from all over the country, from Washington to North Carolina, and from Massachusetts to Florida. Several of them brought excellent, uplifting messages on a wide array of Biblical topics. Charles Weisman also came and shared his insight in an excellent message entitled "Signs of the Times". (see page 13 for a complete listing of the Branson messages.) A fantastic Praise report is that at least 18 people became Christians there, being properly and Biblically baptized (in the Name of Jesus Christ, FOR the remission of sins) at this year's Branson conference! The prayers over the sick were also met with healings and restorations, and we thank all of those that join in with these continued prayers on our Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting broadcast. The Saturday Night LIVE program of Christian music and CLEAN comedy was by far the best show in Branson, and played to a packed house. The 'Knights of Christ' Men's Choir delivered a power-packed performance of mas-culine Christian songs including, "When men Become Men of God Again", "Christian the Brave", and "Onward Christian Soldiers".

Branson 2010 Review Page 12

The Markovic sisters from Colorado brought many beauti-ful songs, and Kris was also there with his insightful ballads and wit. There were many others that brought their own style of praise music and shared with the congregation that gathered in Branson, and on the Internet. Indeed it was the BEST show in Branson! The “Circuit Riding Preacher Songbook #3,” was debuted, with 50 new songs and 6 CD's, and while there in Branson, many of these songs of praise and worship were lifted up and sung as Holy songs unto the Lord! Each family that attended was given the new Songbook #3 and CD's as a gift, and it is now available from this Ministry for a donation of $40.00. (see inside cover of this Newsletter for details.) All in all, it was a 'family-reunion' type of gathering, the family of Christ. We had families from all across the USA, and many from Canada as well. As always, the food was excellent, the teens got to spend some time together doing the 'Virginia Reel, there was sweet fellowship, and all got to 'catch-up' on how each other's families are doing. The 13 DVD's of the 2010 Branson Conference ($100.00 value) are available for a donation of $75.00, and the 13 CD's ($60.00 value) are available for a $50.00 donation. The messages will also be archived at the Ministry website:

Hand that Rocks the Cradle Page 14

The following writing is in large a mat-ter of opinion, yet Pastor asked me to address this subject, as we felt Holy Spirit driven to point out some general thoughts on boy/girl, man/woman relationships. We recognize that there is no set-in-concrete, right/wrong on this subject, for young people develop at different

stages mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. There-fore this writing is not meant to judge anyone, but rather what we would consider wise food for thought for parents and youth. Aside from learning to “live”, the two great commands by which all the law depends: And He said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is the great and foremost com-mandment. "The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22:37-39 ...making vows to a lifetime mate is the most important commit-ment we will ever make. By nature, quite often young people tend to become too anxious concerning their futures; and what can even make mat-ters worse is when the parents are unable to help calm a young persons anxious spirit. Instead some parents actually feed it, not realizing they are playing into a trap of satan who works so hard to snare our youth. Unless a firm foundation (relationship) is established be-tween a youth and Jesus, it is almost always the exception rather than the rule for a romantic relationship to be truly successful. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count the youth who mar-ried before they had a healthy walk with God alone who failed in their marriage, not to mention the youth who stumbled into forni-cation and lust problems by looking for a relationship before God willed one for them. Of course in the moment it was always claimed these relationships were of God. It took time (sometimes years) for the truth to unfold in many cases. And satan used every moment to his advantage to shame the youth who would not “jump the gun”, so to speak, into marriages or fornication.

Hand that Rocks the Cradle Page 15 Scriptures for America DragonSlayer Volume 7, 2010

This is a large topic in which I am not done addressing, but I will close this writing with a writing I found helpful when my own daughter was in her teens. God grant you wisdom is our prayers…

A Plan for Your Mate Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone…To have a deep full relationship with another…to be loved thor-oughly, and exclusively. But often God to a Christian says ‘no’, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Him alone, discovering that only in Him is your satis-faction to be found, will you be capable of the perfect human relationship planned for you. You will never be fully united and satisfied with another until you are united with Him…Exclusive of anyone or anything else of any desire or longing. He would have you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Him to give you the most thrilling plan existing…One that you cannot imagine He wants you to have the best, allowing Him to bring it to you. You just keep watching Him, expecting the greatest things…Keep expecting the satisfaction that He is. Keep listening and learning the things He tells you. You just wait! Don’t be anxious. Don’t worry! Don’t look around at the things others have gotten, or what He gives them. Don’t look at the things that you think you want. You just Keep look-ing away and up to Him, or you will miss what He wants to show you. And then, when you are ready, He’ll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than anything you would dream of. You see, until you are ready, and the one He has for you is ready, (He is working even at this very moment to have both of you ready) until you are both satisfied exclusively with Him and the life He has for you, you won’t be able to experience a love that He has prepared for you, you won’t be able to experi-ence a love that exemplifies your relationship with Him, and thus is perfect love. And dear one, He wants you to have this most wonderful love, He wants you to see in flesh a picture of your relationship with Him, and enjoy materially and consider-ately the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that He offers you with Him. Know that HE LOVES YOU utterly, He is El Shaddi (most loving Father, God Almighty). Believe it, and BE SATISFIED.

A Christian Tattoo?? Page 16

A Christian Tattoo is Equivalent to a Virgin Whore by Pastor Peters

This article is in answer to the following email: Richard, Can you tell me if Pastor Peters has a sermon (or written material) concerning tattoos? I know he puts it down and makes fun of it a lot which I certainly agree with, but I’m wondering if he ever addressed it Biblically. My son is asking me about it as he is consid-ering getting a “Christian” tattoo, a bloody cross or something, and I’ve never given it much thought until now. Talking of a Christian tattoo is as insane as talking about a castrated herd bull, or a virgin whore, or a Christian nudist colony. You may say that’s speaking too bluntly. Well, the Word of God, which proclaims the Laws of God, puts it even more bluntly. 'You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD'. Leviticus 19:28 How can the Word of God be any more blunt or clear on the matter than that? But that means nothing to the new, mod-ern, bastardized version of counterfeit Christianity that we have spreading like an oil slick from hell in our society. Tattoos are everywhere, even in the churches, and hardly anywhere is a preacher or a church preaching against it. Why? Because 'they'

teach the Law of God doesn’t count today under the New Covenant. 'They' (that don't come against sin) are the man in the temple in II Thessalo-nians 2 called the

A Christian Tattoo?? Scriptures for America DragonSlayer Volume 7, 2010

“lawless one” (II Thessalonians 2:8 NASV). They do not under-stand the nature of the Law in relation to the New Covenant (Matthew 5:17, Romans 10:4). Understand, Christian, that sin is a transgression of the Law (I John 3:4) and tattoos were a sin in the Old Covenant, and they are a sin in the New Covenant. It is a New Covenant teaching that a Christian’s body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and not your own to do with as you please. You don’t paint and desecrate the temple with graffiti called tattoos! Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. I Corinthians 6:19, 20 That’s the bottom line, put as bluntly as I know how. Blunt truth though to the rebellious is a turnoff, but repentance causes those in re-bellion to turn back to their God with the attitude of Thy Will, not my will, be done. Pray for a revival and repentance in our land that is so great that every tattoo parlor is closed down for lack of business. What has been said so far in this article is all that should need be said, but more can be said. Someone needs to say some-thing about the health aspect of tattoos. Over a lifetime that ink under the skin poisons the body. A Japanese scientist named Dr. Masaru Emoto did a study on water and developed the ability to photograph water crystals. (His photographs were first featured in his self-published books

A Christian Tattoo?? Page 18

Messages from Water 1 and 2. The Hidden Messages in Water was first published in Japan, with over 400,000 copies sold inter-nationally.) In that study he discovered that if he wrote ugly words and signs on a vile of water, such would effect the crystal-lization of the water to form ugly, distorted forms rather than beautiful crystals. Our body is largely water and is likewise af-fected with tattoos. (Google ‘Water in Motion’.) The book, “The Institutes of Biblical Law” by Rush-doony, (available on the Internet), states that in the days that the

command of Leviticus 19:28 was written: “Tattooing was practiced religiously to in-dicate that one adhered to or belonged to a god; it also indicated that a man was a slave, that he belonged to a lord or owner.” That pretty well sums up our tat-tooed, lawless, rebellious society today.

Tattoos are an outward sign of an inward, spiritual problem. We must pray and labor that there be a Christian revival, with men telling the blunt truth, and people once again coming to love that blunt truth. For those who have already gotten tattoos, become a Christian and confess your sin and Jesus will forgive you, and His blood will cleanse you. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to for-give us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighte-ousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. I John 1:9,10

July Imprecatory Prayer

Page 20

"Jesus Christ is the Son of God, sent by God the Father to be the Sav-ior of His people Israel". The modern-day bastardized version of Christianity in existence in our land today does not teach this, rather they teach a perverted ver-sion of this. The version given by the Judeo-Christian minister is one that makes Jesus a 'half-a-savior' at best, and forms in the minds of the people either a 'spiritual' Israel, or directs the people to see the anti-Christ Jews in the present day land of the Israeli's as the Israelites or the Hebrews of the Bible, WHICH THEY ARE NOT!. God kept His word to Abraham that his seed would form a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:5) and would one day place them in a special place (2 Samuel 7:10). Isaiah prophesied that in that place, God's people would someday wake up to the reality that they were enslaved and that the unclean were among them. Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no more come into you. Shake yourself from the dust, rise up, O captive Jerusalem; Loose yourself from the chains around your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52:1-2 Sin, which is transgression of His Law (1John 4:3), puts His people into slavery. Jesus saves us from our sin. This truth is taught by the churches, but the following truth about Jesus our Savior is not. "Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us." Luke 1:71. THERE ARE THOSE THAT HATE US! The Bible teaches us. The Apostle Peter taught us: "But these, like un-reasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed…" 2 Peter 2:12 Psalms 58 tells us what they are like, and about their destruction. Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men? No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands. The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth. They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear, So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, Or a skillful caster of spells. Psalms 58:1-5 The monthly prayer for July 2010 is Psalms 58:6-11. It is indeed praying to our Savior to save us from our enemies, and it is the Gideon Remnant Christian Soldiers who will pray it. Do not pray it without first praying on the full armor of God, and first praying the Preparatory Prayer. This is a prayer for Christians, and you are not a Christian if you have not been baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Remember, this is spiritual warfare, and when you fire upon the en-emy, there may be counter-fire. Thus, one needs to pray on the armor of Ephesians 6:13-17, and be in and under the cover of our Rock and fortress, Jesus Christ.

July Imprecatory Prayer


Preparatory Prayer Our Father in Heaven, we are Yours, bought and paid for by the redeeming blood of Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. It is in Him that we approach You and in Him we claim our right as soldiers under His command: The right of protection from our enemies. We pray upon ourselves the protective Christian armor and abide in the Rock of our salvation. Change all our enemies' curses into blessings, and deliver us from all of their fire. Put the un-penetrable protective shield of faith all about us. In Jesus Name, we pray. Imprecatory Prayer O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD. Let them flow away like water that runs off; When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts. Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along, Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun. Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns, He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. And men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!" Psalms 58:6-11 In Jesus' Name, Amen. Remember when you pray His Will to be done on earth, and you pray in faith, it will be done (John 15:7, Mark 11:24). O give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain. Through God we shall do valiantly, And it is He who will tread down our adversaries. Psalms 60:11-12 Remember that 2010 is the year men become Men of God again, and it is the year we win! WARNING TO THE WICKED: You are not going to lose; you've already lost! You will be stomped underneath our feet, and your maggot-ridden reptilian guts will be smeared on the soles of our boots! And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Romans 16:20

In the scenic

Colorado Rocky Mountains! Labor Day Weekend,

September 3, 4, & 5, 2010

The Men's singing group that formed in Branson, MO. in June of 2010, is pleased to host, for those on the SFA Ministry, the 'First

Annual September Spiritual Social', to be held in the Colo-rado Rocky Mountains, near Fort Collins, CO, on Labor Day Weekend, September 3, 4 & 5, 2010. This will be a family gathering for all on this Minis-try. There will be adult classes, but the emphasis and fo-cus will be on our youth. There will be special classes

geared to helping our chil-dren lead Christian lives in these troubling times. There will also be classes on Christian living, Sing-spiration time, family fel-

lowship, and preaching and teaching from the Word of God, all in a beautiful Rocky Mountain camp setting. At this Rocky Mountain camp there are trails for hiking, fishing for Rainbow Trout, and campfire circles for evening sings. Lodging is $22.00 per night, and meals are $22.00 per day, per adult (for 3 meals). (Bring your own bedding and towels--this is camp, after all…) And, thanks to those that faithfully tithe and sup-port this Ministry, this Ministry is covering the costs of the youths that are able to attend camp this year. (Donations, gifts and con-tributions to help with this are very much ap-preciated.) Youth attending without their par-ents will be under the oversight of as-signed camp counselors.

Scriptures FROM America Taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ

to MORE of HIS Remnant! Russian/Ukraine people are very religious, and consequently very

superstitious. Seventy years of Atheistic Communism has not eradi-cated a belief in religion, and many fear an unknown yet existing
