My Fears Failure and Success


Along the path of getting to this stage, I have needed to address my fears. I have feared that all this work will result in a giant failure. I could go through all this effort and have very little results. Then also there is a big fear that this could become a huge success. It could grow and expand in ways that I could never predict. I would have influence but not much control. So I request your prayers about these matters. What I can do is trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ as I take it one day at a time. I can do what He sets before me. I can look to God to send the people and resources right on time. I can leave the short-term and long-term results in His capable hands.

Over the decades I had attempted to launch a ministry before and then after much preparation when I went public I got nea...

When I have gathered these results then this information will guide me i...
