Sunday In Northeast Pennsylvania

Hello everyone. Brrrr! It's a cold one this morning. I'm grateful for heat!

This coming Sunday morning, I will be preaching in my home church, the Green Ridge Assembly of God in Scranton, PA and at the Dickson City Assembly of God in the evening. I always love preaching in my home church. My church family has been so supportive of my ministry over the years. Please pray that I will minister sermons that will edify and build up the body of Christ.

Snow. I admit I don't like it. It a nuisance to clean up and it makes traveling on the highways dangerous. This past week, I watched it snow for several days in a row. But I was thinking of the scripture in Isaiah where it says if our sins are like scarlet, God can make them white as snow. The forgiveness of Jesus brings purity into our lives. In a spiritual sense...let it snow!

God's peace to each of you.

A Famous Pennsylvania Town

Good morning everyone. It's a brisk winter morning here in Pennsylvania yet the sunshine warms the heart.

This coming week, I will be ministering in a crusade at First Assembly of God in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Please pray that these meetings will be a spiritual shot-in-the-arm for the people in this church as they enter a new year. The pastor of the church, Chris Golembiowski, liked the idea of starting off the new year with a series of meetings. May Jesus be lifted up in this church and draw people unto Him.

We all know the phrase, "God answers prayer" but over the last two weeks I've been noticing that "God directs my prayers." There have been people that I've prayed for, who I don't usually pray for, who I have run into or heard from them in an e-mail. It's been a wonderful adventure in prayer. May each of you know that same adventure in your lives.

By the way, when I'm out in Punxsutawney, my hotel will be right across the street from where they house the world famous Punxsutawney Phil. He'll be a busy guy, or should I say groundhog in a couple of weeks.

Blessings to all of you.

The Closest Church

Hello everyone. It is a beautiful, sunny and warm day in January. The weather has been incredibly mild lately and a great savings on heating bills. Amen to that.

This coming Sunday, I will minister at Word Fellowship Church in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. This is the closet church to my home that I minister at because it is only about 2 miles away from my front door. Please pray that I will bless this congregation with a challenging Word that will cause people to be drawn closer to Christ.

God is amazing! Being an evangelist means that I deal with a unique set of problems, one of which is scheduling meetings. Rejection is something that goes with the territory yet it is not easy to take at times. I was sitting at my desk, feeling discouraged when my phone rang. It was a pastor who I had called months before who had never called me back. I thought that door of ministry was closed. Anyway...here was this pastor asking me to schedule meetings in the late spring. The amazing part is that if this pastor would have called even a month ago, I would have had to tell him that I had no time slot available then, but another pastor who tentatively scheduled that time talked with me last week about canceling his meetings. God works in ways I'll never understand. All I know is that He is God and He is in control. If He can do that for me, He can do that in your life too.

This past week, I've been working on a new website for my ministry. If you want to check it out, you can find it at www.gaylebrostowski.com I'm asking a favor...if you pull up the website and it doesn't look right on your computer. (for example...if the wording is all bunched together) could you drop me an e-mail so I can work on fixing the problem. Thanks.

God's blessings be to all of you.
