It’s hard to believe that 2012 is coming to an end. Each year I allow myself one message to specifically ask for additional support…and this is the one. I apologize if this is one of the first messages you are receiving from this ministry; honestly, I only do this once a year.
Like most ministries, we are funded by both one time donations (especially at the end of the year!) and regular monthly contributions. Our regular contributors continue to be remarkably faithful, but each year there are several who need to end their support. I need 25 additional people who are able to commit to regular donations in 2013.
One time donations as well as regular monthly contributions can be made using credit card or paypal through our web site at:
http://gdwm.org/index.php/support/
You can also mail donation or send bank checks to:
God’s Daily Word Ministries
PO Box 190
Lorena, TX 76655
If you are able to make regular donations by check, please send me your mailing address and I will send you a set of pre-addressed envelopes. This has proven to work very well for those who are able to make monthly contributions.
A final option for donations is stock transfer. This has only been done a few times but it is easy to do and has an added tax advantage for the donor. Please contact me if you would like more information.
This is a relatively small ministry, but God seems to use us in big ways all around the world. We are increasing our involvement and commitments in Kenya. I will continue to write update messages about these projects throughout the year; however, in this message I want to highlight the email portion of the ministry. Email continues to be a vital portion of what we do and continues to show good fruit. Here are several feedback messages which represent the type of notes I receive almost every day.

Since being introduced to your email God’s Daily Word now that I am on assignment to Russia, I feel ever closer to God.

I would like to thank you Steve for your wonderful messages every day. You have giving me insight to God that I never knew.

From South Africa A month ago I sent you a message on how troubled I was and the challenge at my work place, You sent me words of encouragement and ever since I have so much peace. The daily word that you send me everyday is pruning me. I share the daily word on my facebook. People comment positively; your ministry is touching lives.

There is no way except God that I read this email at just the moment I needed it…I’m struggling with feelings of being a horrible mom. I have four daughters two that are grown and two in elementary school. And I like so many others am struggling just to keep the lights on and clothe the younger two. I had just confessed to someone how I don’t think I should be a mom considering our current circumstance and then went online to check my email…thank you.

GDW gives me great encouragement to come back to the Lord where I was back slided for more than 20 years. God Bless You and Your Works.

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me keep my faith and never forgetting that God is God, he is the God of all.

Brother Steve thank you so much for allowing Jesus Christ to use you. Yesterday I was on the edge to do something wrong but Jesus sent you to strengthen my faith and lead me in the way. A big Amen – God bless you!

My family has been going through a major crisis, and God’s Word has been a lifeline for us! I appreciate what God does through you. May God continue to bless you and all you do to inspire and transform lives.

I just want to say Thank you for sharing the Words of Life. They have LITERALLY SAVED ME! Your work makes so much difference than you can possibly imagine… The way you share the word is Awesome! The WORD IS AWESOME!

Greetings to you and your family from Ethiopia. I just wanted to say thank you and God bless you for the work that you are doing and the life changing devotional materials you are unceasingly producing every day. This is beyond understanding and am one of those beneficiaries of this daily devotional materials now for the past six to seven years.

I am blessed to receive this kind of feedback. I know we are making a difference as I send out over 40,000 email messages four or five times each week. I believe God wants me to continue this ministry and I am blessed to be able to do so.
Thank you for your prayers, your encouragement, your financial support, and for allowing me to walk with you on this journey of faith. May God receive all the glory through the reporting of this end of year financial update.
Have a Christ Centered Day!
Steve Troxel
