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

We send our love in and through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2007 has been a good year for our God is a good God. We have been encouraged throughout the year by the Word of God through different ministries spoken to us sometimes personally and at other times in the meetings that we have attended.

EBTF has seen God increase the students especially in the UK and in the UK Prisons. We have been so encouraged as we see what He is doing in the prisons. We have given out 8 Certificates this year with prophecies for each student as the Holy Spirit gives to Ruth. 2 Certificates in the Philippines and 1 in Thailand, 1 in Spain and 4 in the UK. All the students have completed the 7 Courses, 72 lessons in all, some of these students have been with EBTF for up to 4 years and through the correspondence we have seen God and His Word change their lives. So it is really wonderful to see the integrity and diligence of these students and read how they have told how the Word of God has changed them.

We give thanks unto the Lord for all He has done in the Students lives this year.

We have completed the change over from tapes to CD’s and Ruth has completed 10 messages entitled ‘Full Assurance’ and is currently working on 10 messages on ‘The Word of God’ as the Holy Spirit leads and guides her. All of these messages and Ruth’s book ‘Fellowshipping with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit’ can be purchased from EBTF. Ruth’s book has been sold in various locations and some of the Students have received copies.

We have been so blessed by Kenneth Copeland Ministries in supplying books and Bibles for the prisoners from their Prison Ministry Department, throughout the year. What a wonderful blessing and privilege to sow the seed of the Word of God into the Students lives.

Our prayer is that the Word of God will grow up and prevail and produce much in the lives of all the Students.

From Zambia we have many students in the different prisons and also prison officers and governors on the board of Zambia Prison Fellowship as Students. We have students in India and enquiries from Pastors in Tanzania. We stand amazed at what God is doing, for the majority are non-paying students and yet all the bills for EBTF are paid up and the postage bill which is a large part of the costs, is always paid. Glory to God for He is on our side and doing exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or even think.

We look forward to all that Father God has for us in 2008.

We appreciate those who are so faithful to partner with us in prayer and finances and thank God for every remembrance of them as we make mention of them in our prayers.

God bless you and that you will each know a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit filling you up to overflowing in 2008.

Ruth and Brian
