“I have been fighting battles, one after another, for the past two years. I saw the conference advertised on Daystar and knew this is what I needed. It’s been so uplifting and refreshing. I feel so much better.” – Wendy

“This conference was definitely refreshing. I’m a college student and this conference reminded me of God’s plan for my life! I’m leaving with a new attitude and zeal to remain focused to complete school. Thank you for this empowering conference!” – Bria

“I caught my second wind at this conference. I was feeling drained and forgotten – I had just lost my job on October 21. But now I have found new oil, new joy to continue my race with the Lord!” –Sharon

Dear Partners & Friends,

You can register at: www.daystar.com/RTC or call: 1-888-755-0157

We will not televise this live so you need to be there in person! (Life Changing!!!)

November is the month of Thanksgiving in America. I am so thankful for the grace of God in my life and His love and kindness to me. I am so thankful for my great wife, Joni, and our awesome kids: Jonathan, Rachel, & Rebecca, and for our daugther-in-law Suzy, and our first grandchild: Mr. Israel Elisha Lamb!

And Joni & I are very thankful for our Partners who stand with us and Daystar. “Partners make it possible!”

We are seeing amazing answers to prayer here at Daystar. If you have a prayer need for yourself, or your family, please send it in with your pledge this month. We will pray and God will answer! Joni & I will believe with you…

Did you get to see the special program that Joni did for my 40th anniversary in ministry and our 30th anniversary in television? It was a complete surprise to me. Joni & our production team did such an excellent job. If you didn’t see it, I hope you will go to www.daystar.com and watch the Video On Demand of that program. The date was October 14, 2013.

I am asking you to continue to be faithful to your pledge that you made to God through Daystar. Let’s finish this year strong. I know the Lord will bless you greatly for doing so.

Yours For Christian Television,

Marcus D. LambFounder/President Daystar Television Network

Evidence to date demonstrates that when

clinicians encourage their clients to develop

a spiritually-positive attitude, the one in

need of relief finds it deeply beneficial (1 Cor.

15:57). Not only are there health benefits to

being a thankful person, but the emotional

and relational impact is enormously

positive. Being a thankful person goes

along with developing a deeper Christian

construct; this has a dramatic impact on

ALL relationships. A thankful heart is a

sweet aroma that pleases God - as opposed

to the stench of self-centered complaints.

Thinking positive (being grateful) has

direct implications for true life satisfaction.

Thankfulness is God’s design for coping with

life’s stresses, and is a way of honoring God

(Ps. 50:23). Expressing gratitude is worship,

whether structured or unstructured, public

or private; this form of worship marshals

healthy emotions that strengthen our

spiritual immune system, provide a buffer to

stress, and fend off the enemy’s attacks (Col.

3:15; 1 Cor. 15:57). Conversely, an ungrateful

spirit assassinates every promise that God

has provided us. The Apostle Paul put it this

way, “Be thankful always; pray continually;

give thanks in all circumstances, for this is

God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thes.

5:16-18). Being thankful leaves us feeling

emotionally stronger, and is thus congruent

with our experiencing the Lord’s liberating

presence.

China was a country long

closed off to Christianity,

but recently missionaries

have made their way across

the borders, reaching those

who would otherwise have

been unreachable. Dennis

Balcombe and his wife, Kathy,

were among some of the

first American missionaries

to make the dangerous trek

into China, and have been

ministering to the Chinese

people since 1969. They

started Revival Christian

Church, and over the years the

congregation has grown to

over 800 believers. Recently

Dennis and Kathy Balcombe

were guests on “Marcus and

Joni,” and were able to share

some of their stories from

China with our partners and

viewers around the world.

At the end of the live show,

Daystar issued a $20,000

matching challenge, and you –

our partners and viewers – rose

to the occasion. The challenge

was met, and we were able to

present them with a $20,000

check immediately, and will

send the rest as it is received.

Thank you to all our partners

who participated and pledged

towards Revival Chinese

Ministries International – your

generous donations have

helped spread the Gospel of the

Lord Jesus throughout China!

Can you believe that it’s already November? The time is definitely flying by, and we are quickly approaching the 2013 Refreshing Times Conference! In less than a month, believers from across the globe will gather together for a time of worship and refreshing. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in the lives of all those who attend. Come ready to be uplifted and encouraged in your own walk with the Lord through inspiring speakers such as Kenneth Ulmer, John Gray, Marilyn Hickey, Marcus Lamb and

Jimmy Evans. And prepare to be refreshed through an anointed time of worship with special musical guest Fred Hammond, along with the Daystar Singers and Band. With

this amazing line-up of speakers and musical talent, this year’s RTC is sure to be one of the best conferences yet! Taking time out of our busy schedules to spend time in the presence of God can be difficult, but the result of doing so will bring lasting refreshing to your life. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be refreshed for the coming year! If you haven’t already, make plans to attend this year’s Refreshing Times Conference for a special time of rejuvenation and encouragement in the Word of God. Registration for the conference is completely free, but required, and while there is still time left to register, seats are filling up quickly! Register today by visiting daystar.com/rtc, or by calling 888-755-0157. I am looking forward to seeing all of you there!
