Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus from Ruth and Brian and board members of EBTF.

This is the time that we take a look at all the Lord has done for us throughout 2009. And how we praise Him and give God all of the Glory for His great love, mercy and compassion that never fails. Hallelujah. Brian and I have kept in full health this year of 2009. We have enjoyed our grandchildren watching them grow into juniors and times of blessing and praising the Lord with them. In August we were honoured to win 1st prize for our small front garden in Cotford St Luke and awarded a trophy for one year. We bless the Lord that He has blessed our finances, as we know He is our source, our El Shaddai, more than enough. And to close the year we are blessed to hear that we shall be grandparents again and the baby to come on Ruth’s birthday in July 2010.

Here at EBTF we again praise the Lord and give Him glory and blessing and honour for all His great love and the Holy Spirit moving in the Students lives.
Since starting the Bible Correspondent School we have seen hundreds of students, some only doing one course but most determine to complete the 7 courses. We have given 8 certificates out this year for those completing the 7 courses, praise the Lord. Our Father God has been so good and faithful to us in supplying all of our finances as postage and the cost of producing the lessons has risen steeply but we have a faithful God whose Word and promises are sure as we stand on 2Corinthians ch.9 verse 8-12 and Psalm 112 His Word will never pass away. We have seen the Lord move in providing for us through people and ministry as channels to increase the Kingdom of God. Sowing seed that we can sow again helping the students to become Kingdom of God minded and the Word growing and prevailing in them according to Acts ch.19 v.20 Amplified Bible. So we give thanks unto God for all of His love to us and the students and then thanks to all who support us and we pray for each and every one to be highly favoured of the Lord. We extend our grateful thanks to Kenneth Copeland Prison Ministries for supplying the books for all the prison students in the UK and other countries. We have had students enrol from Pakistan, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Italy, Thailand and Northern Ireland and UK. We have private Students in the UK but to some private students in Zambia we give the Bible School free, some of these are Pastors and Prison officer and Prison Fellowship, prison visitors.
Here are some testimonies from the students for you to see how good God is for He is a good God.

I write to you with great joy and thanksgiving for all that God has done in my life through EBTF particularly you and Brian. I thank you for the materials sent to me [books, CD’s, and the teaching] they are highly inspiring and spiritually uplifting. As a result my life has changed for good. Also it has given so much to my life as a Christian. I must say it is with unimaginable joy that I acknowledge the receipt of my certificate. I thank you for the wonderful book ‘Pursuit of His presence’ by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. More importantly thank you for giving all of these to me free of charge.

I want to thank you Ma for what God has done in my life through your teaching and making me know how important I am to God. I pray that God will enlarge your ministry and give you more strength to do that which God has been using you for in the lives of people, God bless you Ma. I am not proud of what I did by coming to this country with improper documents. I thought I was doing the right thing but now I know what the Word of God says concerning it. Thanks so much for your help through teaching and praying for me.

I thank God for you, I always give the glory to God but thank you for loving me with God’s love for obeying Him to help me. I really thank God for the gift to the body of Christ, the work you do. I have been comforted and strengthened by the Holy Spirit and this course on Holy Spirit Revelations and thank God for these studies. I have really enjoyed them and have been so encouraged.
UK Prisoner
I am really enjoying the course up to now; it gives me comfort in this difficult time in my life.

We send the blessing of God to you all for 2010. May you be like trees planted by the rivers and watered by the Word of God through His Holy Spirit.
With love in Christ our Anointed One

Ruth and Brian
