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

1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 18 [Amplified Bible version].
Thank God in everything no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks; for this is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus.
We thank God for our new baby granddaughter.

We come to you with so much to thank God for, here at EBTF. We give Him thanks and praise and all the glory for His great love and blessings to us here at EBTF and to our Students. We do not cease to give thanks for all our Students who are in Christ Jesus, our brothers and sisters. We do not cease to give thanks for our Partners who support us in prayer and financially. You are blessed of the Lord as you bless us and our Students so that we can continue to teach the Students and to lift them up in prayer and encourage them to press into the Word of God and to see them change and grow up into Christ Jesus. The testimonies are a great blessing and encouragement to us. As you will see from these testimonies in this letter, that the love of God and His Word keeps working and our prayer is for the Wind of the Holy Spirit to awaken and reveal Jesus more and more to who they are in Christ and the fullness of His wonderful love and blessing is theirs.
We must continually give thanks unto Father God, being obedient to His will in thanking and praising Him for it will bring blessing. The praises and thankfulness of heart will push back the forces of darkness that Satan tries so hard to silence us with. For too long many of us Christians have been silent when we should have come against the devil and interceded with praise and thanksgiving. To enforce the devil’s defeat in our lives and others for Jesus has paid the price in full and made us more than conquerors but so often people are asleep and wonder why they are under such serious attacks. We must continuously do the will of God, praise Him, and thank him with sincere hearts. Jehoshaphat won the battle without fighting hard by praise and thanks giving. Let us follow his example and obey the Word of the Lord. 2 Chronicles chapter 20 verses 21-22.
One or two Students are enjoying ‘The Word of God’ series of 10 CD’s, praise the Lord.

UK Prison Student I am so happy and proud at the help you have given me, also the love you have shown me in learning about God and His Son Jesus Christ. I wanted you to know how much I appreciated your Courses and the positive feelings that I had learning the Words of the Father. I will speak the Word of God everyday to myself and confess the word of God as the Bible tells me. Thank you very much for your help.

UK Prison Student Thank you so much for the lessons I just wanted to say how blessed I feel to be doing this Course and how it is really increasing the depth of my knowledge of God’s wonderful Word. It has changed the whole direction of my life and by walking with Jesus and denouncing Satan, my life from now on will be truly rich.

IRC Student Your teachings has really made an impact in my Christian Life.

Private Student Zambia I have learnt a lot from these lessons like all the previous ones. Truly it takes faith to understand. Jesus is my healer and my miracle performer. I will always depend on Him, confessing His Name in all things and Words of life and not death. Thank you for enlightening my understanding.

UK Prison Student First I would like to say thanks so much for the EBTF Bible Studies. I really enjoyed them as they opened my eyes and my heart to a lot of things that I did not know as I am still fairly new in our Lord and with your love and help I will know all that I need to know. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. Thank you for your most welcome letter it blessed me when I read it. I am due to be baptised later in the summer with 4 others, praise God.

Private Student in Zambia Blessed be the name of the Lord and our Saviour. Thank you very much for the teachings of the Bible that I am receiving from. May the Lord richly bless you and add more days. I am gradually changing into a man whom God will be pleased with. I worship but I never knew that God has all of these names. I am learning now and their meaning. I can tell you my life is not the same.

UK Private Student Thanks a million for the Word of God you share in all this teaching. The book on Fellowshipping with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit by you is very inspiring and has been a blessing to me and makes me a blessing to other. I am indeed grateful to God for bringing me into contact with your ministry on this path of fulfilling God’s divine purpose for my life on earth. Thank God for what He is using you and your ministry to impart the undiluted Word of God in shaping me to learn who I am in Christ and what I can do as a son of God.

Italy Prison Student Irrespective of what is happening around me I always apply Philippians ch.4 v.12 [Amp]. I am also grateful to you for your teachings and have done much for my life.

Private Student Zambia I praise God for the privilege of studying under your guidance. It would be impossible to repay you for the wealth of knowledge I am gaining in my studies. God richly bless you with long life, good health and wealth.

Once again we thank you for all your love and support and for Keith and Janet Butters who so faithfully keep our website going and updated and also for Kenneth Copeland ministries who supply books for the prisoners and prayer support for us.
