Have a blessed Jesus Christmas and a wonderful and happy New Year 2024. I love this time of year as we focus on the birth of Jesus. I remember carrying the cross in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The Word became flesh! Glory! At the cross Jesus died, arose from the grave and after the resurrection He sends His followers to deliver the message of salvation through Jesus to the world.
I am now 83 years old and as I look back on my life I rejoice at the goodness of God. I heard the call of Jesus to save me at 7 years old and then at the age of 15 I started preaching the gospel of Jesus. I remember leaving from Sunset Strip in Hollywood on Christmas Day 1969 on what became an incredible journey in the history of the world for the glory of God. We have had the awesome privilege of going in person sharing the love of Jesus in 324 nations and major island groups. From presidents to the poor and needy. I have witnessed to leading terrorists to the richest people in the world, been arrested 24 times and in the Guinness World Records. I am at peace resting in the arms of Jesus. I have been blessed to be married to Denise who has been with me in 294 nations and islands sharing Jesus. She is radical and fearless sharing Jesus around the world. Together we are a team like no other, praise the Lord.
As many of you may know I’ve been struggling with health issues and in much pain. As you can imagine the wear and tear on my body after carrying the cross 43,340 miles for 56 years. We are mainly focusing on social media and the internet sharing messages and Denise is continuing to edit many of my sermons and preaching messages through the years to share each week on our YouTube channel and other sites.
We are seeing a great response as the lost are coming to Jesus. It is a glorious time to be alive when we are able to speak and the message is taken to the world through social media!
I share messages and those messages go out to the world. Glory! We have tens of thousands of people viewing our posts and our website with many receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior. New Christians are growing strong in following Jesus and learning how to share Jesus with others.
These days are thrilling and we trust you will be a part of this cross mission of sharing Jesus. Your prayers and support have been a vital part of this Jesus witness and you will receive a great reward from our Lord Jesus. Praise God. There is nothing to compare with leading the lost to Christ.
Sophia spent a year working with TBN TV. This was such a tremendous blessing in her life. She is now at Charis Bible College, a ministry of Andrew Wommack, studying the Bible and is excited for future mission trips. She has just returned from a ministry trip at an orphanage in Mexico, which she absolutely loves. She is truly a powerful witness.
TBN continues to air programs of my life and witnessing teachings. Matt Crouch has told me that even after I go to glory they will still continue to air our programs!
Thrilling days are in front of us. As Christmas approaches let us celebrate the birth of our Savior, Lord Jesus Christ! Emmanuel, God with us! Jesus was placed in a wooden manger and died on a wooden cross for our sins. God and sinners reconciled, such incredible love He has bestowed up on us. Let us share this good news in our world around us. May God bless you this Christmas and a happy New Year.
Pilgrim followers of Jesus, Arthur, Denise & Sophia Blessitt. Luke 18:1
