Dear Friend,

Be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 (The Message)

My dear friend and I have this saying,” If it’s not fun don’t do it.” Now I realize that there are many things in life that aren’t fun. But I also know I have the Joy of God. 1 Peter 1:8b Says that we have Joy unspeakable that is full of Glory. Verse 4 says that we have an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled that dose not fade away. Just recently I had a friend tell me that when I talked, I laughed. I thought how interesting. I can only believe that it is the Joy of God that she was hearing and I praise Him for it. In every circumstance find His Joy. It’s in His Presence. Psalms 16:11 It comes from Heaven.

MISSION REPORT

June 6-15, Beach Reach Mission Training. We had an incredible group of young people. They were all so willing to do whatever God wanted them to do. At services they were taught how to hear from God and the Prophetic. We had one day at Leah and Jim Richardson’s where they were taught Prophetic Art and given a blank canvas and oils to paint what they saw and heard. Becca, my granddaughter, Bethany, Pastor Franks Gresham’s daughter and I got some music together and taught them how to do a Flash Mob. We danced and shared Jesus in St Augustine, on the beach, on the boardwalk, at the water park, even in restaurants. It was so fun.

July 17-29, Face to Face, Euskirchen, Germany, Pastor Conrad Gilles – Teaching in the morning, Evangelism in the afternoons, Revival at night. Our team was Pastor Frank Gresham, Darlene Jerry and me. Again, so much fun. There were people from all over Germany that came. People were saved, healed and delivered. I have a picture on my face book of the worship leader so overcome by the Presence of God that she fell to the floor and didn’t move for an hour. The rest of the auditorium was pretty much wasted too. (That is in a good way or should I say, in a God way)

CALENDAR

September 11-14, Christian Community Development Association Conference, New Orleans Downtown Hyatt. Mimi Crabtree and I are in charge of the prayer room, 2nd floor near Starbucks. Please come and be a part of praying for our city.

God Bless You,

Dear Friend,

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:18 (NKJ)
I’ve been thinking a lot about this scripture lately. That first year I was born again, I believed so simply, so easily, without question, that His Word was true. I was so engulfed in His Love and acceptance. I looked a mess. I felt a mess. I was a mess, yet He loved me enough that He made Himself real to me. He spoke to me through His Word, The Bible. And I knew what it said was true. Two days after I got saved I was in the bank line and all of a sudden I felt impressed to pray for the person in front of me and behind me. I thought, wow that’s different, than prayed, knowing that God was listening. Weeks later I wanted to talk to my cousin who was in trouble. I wanted to tell her I loved her and wanted to help. I had no idea where she lived but I got in my car and listened. God led me to her apartment. She later came to live with me. One day she asked me to pray. She had a rash all over her hands. I knew God would heal her. I held her hands and prayed and instantly the rash was gone. Did I still look a mess? I tried to dress more modestly but I wasn’t real good at it. Did I know a lot of scripture? I knew the ones he put in my heart when I read His word and went to church. I had a simple child like faith. Sometimes we become to wise in our own thinking. My Dad used to say, “Your to smart for your own good.” It’s true we look to our good not His good. After all who’s in charge? Who is the one with all the answers? My prayer lately has been, “Bring me back to that year when I was just beginning to know you.” I want to live with that simple child like faith, knowing who’s in charge.

MISSION REPORT
February 6,7 – We were at Joy Fellowship, Pastors Larry & Leslie Roques. Revival, it was great.
February 8-12 – Mardi Gras Outreach was awesome. We had a great team that got to pray for a lot of people in the Quarter. Thank You, Thank You, to Don and Etta Lutz for housing us. You should mark your calendar for next year. Come, it’s fun.
February 10 – Revival Service at Pastors James & Marva DeClouette.
March 8-18 – Biketoberfeat, Daytona Beach, Fl. As always we had Sunday Service in the biker bar. Amazing. We saw many get prayer and receive the Lord. We had a prayer tent in the bar with free bibles, books, pocket crosses and much more.
March 24 – I brought gifts and a word to the homeless at Victory Fellowship.
May 1-5 – Thunder Beach, Panama City Bike Rally. Once again we had a prayer tent set up in a biker venue. When we tell the people that everything in the tent is free they can’t believe it. We can do this because you give to this ministry.
Every Thursday when I’m home I go to Mary Song Restoration Center to share with the women. It’s always a blessing.

CALANDER
June 6-16, Beach Reach Mission Training, Daytona Beach, Florida – There’s room in my car if you want to come along. Or you can fly, Delta has reasonable rates to Daytona. We’ll be having training in evangelism, prophetic art, children’s side walk church, drama, flash mob and lots of soaking in the Presence of the Lord. We’ll be in St Augustine, Deland, The Beach and Boardwalk in Daytona and one day at the water park. Actual dates are 7-14 but I preach Sunday the 16th so I want you to stay. ( For most of these outreaches I’m with my co-worker in Christ, Pastor Frank Gresham. )
July17- 29, Face to Face, Euskirchen, Germany, Pastor Conrad Gilles – We will be teaching in the morning and going to evangelize the streets in the afternoon and have nightly revival services. Come along, it will be great fun.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who supports this ministry. Spreading the good news takes money. Your gifts are tax deductible. You will be rewarded. God says so. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 (NKJ)

Dear Friends and Family,

It’s been an amazing few months. In April, the week before Easter, I was able to bring gifts to the homeless that Victory Fellowship busses in every Sunday morning. And Butch Savage who heads up that ministry asked me to share a word. God is good.

I’m still at Mary Song Restoration Center every Thursday counseling with the girls.

April 4-21 Pastor Frank Gresham, Winniefer Ferrell and I were in Uganda with our missionary Aurora Castillo. We ministered in 3 villages in the bush, Busuma with Pastors Godwin and Florence, Busia with Pastor Gedion and Palisa with Pastor Steven. Aurora has churches and schools in each of these villages. She has others but there wasn’t enough time to visit all of them. We hosted Pastoral Conferences and ministered to the children in the schools. Several people got healed and there were reports of many salvations. We encouraged many of the Pastors and Leaders to get into the Bible School that Aurora’s Ministry, AMC, makes available to them. Her teachers are still in need of bikes. I stated in my letter in February, they cost $85 each. I’ve only received money for one. Please pray about supporting this ministry. Mark your check for Aurora .

May 2-6 Pastor Frank and I were in Panama City Thunder Beach Bike Rally . We had the awesome opportunity to speak with many bikers about Jesus. Our brothers, Dean, Tiny and Matt joined with us in ministering. As always we gave away bibles, books, pocket crosses and teaching CD’s.

The rest of May became family month for Norman and I. My oldest son’s daughter, Becca, graduated from Cabrini High School and will be attending South Eastern, Hammond Campus in the fall. And we went to Tennessee to visit our son Kenneth and his family.

June was a rough month for us. My ministry partner and baby brother in the Lord, Frank Gresham, had major back surgery and found out that he has cancer cells, Multiple Myeloma. His radiation treatment of 20 days will be over this week than he will start chemo. We’re believing for total remission by November. Please be in agreement with us. Pastor Frank doesn’t have insurance if you’d like to give mark your check for Frank.

June 15-21 we had Mission Training Beach Reach. Team leaders were, Pastors Frank and Janet Gresham, Frank’s daughter Bethany and her future husband Dave, me and my granddaughter, Becca and Frank’s daughter Haley helped when she wasn’t working. We had 30 all together with Pastors, Teachers and a team from Missouri. Our first morning we had a great Holy Ghost Service and training for witnessing and drama in the historic district of St. Augustine, Fl. The next two days we were on the beach in Daytona. One day we gave out free watermelons and prayer. And the next day we did drama and some fun in the sun. Everyday, whether morning or night, we had great services. In some of the services we taught the team how to use there prophetic gifts on the streets. In another we had one of the Pastors from Calvary Church come share about children’s side walk church. On Tuesday we went to Leah and Jim Richardson’s home. Leah taught on prophetic art and we had an art teacher teach on technique. Each team member was given a blank canvas to paint the vision God had given them. They later explained how God spoke to them. One night we went witnessing on the Board Walk in Daytona Beach. Every day and night was filled with His Presence. We ended the week with a trip to Universal Studio in Orlando and a soaking service that night. Awesome. O almost forgot, everyone was given 3 pocket crosses to give away at Universal and encouraged to pray with people. All in all it was a great time in the Lord. We’re planning for June 2013 already. Come join in on the fun and learn something new.

Calendar 8/9-15 Sturgis Bike Rally, So. Dakota, 8/17, 8/25, 11/5, 11/25 Evangelism Outreach to Saints Tailgate Parties
10/10-14 Thunder Beach Bike Rally, Panama City, Fl. 10/18-21 Biketoberfest, Daytona Beach, Fl. Come have some fun.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about dancing in the rain.
Don’t worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today. Matt. 6:34 (Contemporary English Version)

God Bless,
Nancy

March 30, 2012

Dear Friends and Family,

In January I decided to read the bible in chronological order. It has reminded me once again of how many laws that Israel had to obey and how free we are because of the blood that was shed for us by Jesus on the Cross of Calvary. His Grace is sufficient. There are laws that were carried over from the old to the new. Deuteronomy 6:5-9 in The Message Bible says, “ Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder; inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates.” In the New Testament the word says in John 15:12 “I’ve told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature. This is my command: Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends. You are my friends when you do the things I command you. I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father.”

Sometimes when I’m feeding the Homeless or witnessing on the streets of Mardi Gras or helping in a prayer tent at Biker Functions, I’ve realized how hard it is to love the unlovable. They smell, they curse, they drink and drug, they dress inappropriately. They certainly don’t fit into my world. That’s why I go to them. God continues to remind me, I must love, no mater who or how they are.

MINISTRY REPORT
On Sundays mornings Victory Fellowship has a ministry headed by Butch Savage. Busses go into the city to pick up the homeless for service and than there fed lunch. In December before Christmas my granddaughter, Becca and I brought gifts to give to the homeless that came to Victory.

In February on the streets of Mardi Gras we had a team from Missouri. Don and Etta Lutz were so gracious to house us. This year the craziness seemed to start earlier. The crowds were larger so everything was heightened . Where sin abounds, God’s Grace abounds much more. So many people were drawn to the Love of Christ. We were able to pray with many and some gave there hearts to the Lord. Many good seeds were planted.

At the end of February I went with my precious friend Jane Kent and her grandson to the Ozanam Inn on Camp St. in down town New Orleans to help feed the homeless and give out socks and toiletries ( shampoo, tooth brushes, toothpaste, soap, combs ). I put it all in a bag with a Jesus track so it’s easy for them to carry or put in there pocket. All of them are given the blessings of God and sometimes we get to pray with them.

I just got back from Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Fl. with my friend Pastor Frank Gresham. Every year we have a prayer tent set up in a open air biker bar. We’re right in the middle of all of the action. We give away bibles, books, posters but best of all, we pray for so many people. This year one of the bikers that work with us, Ponch, with Walls of Jericho, bought water melons. We blessed everyone in the bar with a slice. Jesus is good. He came for the sinner. We’re now doing 5 biker events a year.

I’m still at Mary Song Restoration Center every Thursday to counsel with the ladies and I’ll be giving gifts to the homeless for Easter at Victory April 1st. April 4th I’ll be leaving for Uganda with Pastor Frank Gresham and Winniefer Farrell to work with Missionary Aurora Castillo. A big thank you to everyone who supports the ministry. Please keep us in your prayers.

Many Blessings and Much Love to You and Yours,
Nancy

NEWS LETTER

February 15, 2012

Dear Family and Friends,

God says in His Word. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. Psalms 2:8
A few days ago I was thinking about writing another news letter and God gave me this scripture.

We just added Germany for the month of July and the calendar is filling up fast. Last year we had an incredible time with Pastor Conrad at Face to Face Church. We experienced revival every night and we are looking forward to being back on the streets with our friends where God’s healing power flowed.

The Mardi Gras team will be in town soon and than right after I’ll be going to Bike Week in Daytona Beach , Florida. Call me if you’d like to join us and please keep us in your prayers.

In April Pastor Frank Gresham, Winniefer Farrell and myself will be in Uganda helping Missionary Aurora Castillo. We will be staying in Kampala a short time. Than we will be traveling to the bush, where Aurora has built churches and schools. We will be in the villages of Busuma, Busia or Buwunje and Palisa. While there we will help with a VBI Graduation and Ordinations at the ACM Freedom Centre. We will also have a Leadership Seminar. We will Preach, Teach, Baptize and hold Revivals. As Aurora would say, ”Changing Lives One Family At a Time.”

Our flights will be around $1600. Once on the ground hotels and food are minimal. We’ll need around $700 plus ground transportation. I’d like to pay for all of Aurora’s expenses as well, while we’re there. So if you can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated. We want to help Aurora in everyway that we can. Who knows, we may even be making bricks for the new school. What we need more than anything is your prayers. To see more of what she is doing check her web site, http://www.acmministries.com or check my photo page on my web site, http://www.nancyalonzoministries.org. It’s not to late if you’d like to go just, give me a call me.

Within this next year I will be collecting money to purchase bicycles for the teacher of Aurora’s schools in Uganda. In order to get to school they have to walk 3 to 4 miles one way. The cost for each bike is $85 and they are in need of 18 to take care of the staff. If you would like to give to this fund, mark it on your check.

Remember, God says, “ Give and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you give it will be measured back to you.”

Many Blessings and Much Love to you and Yours,

December 31, 2011

Dear Family and Friends,

Jesus said, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

2011 has come to a close and now we look forward to 2012. For some of us it’s been a rough year. Some of us have had health issues, some have taken major pay cuts, while expenses have sky rocketed. We’ve lost love ones and new babies have come along. Both good and bad but with most the bad far passed the good. So what does God tell us to do?

In my life the giving issue has always come to the front when any trouble occurs. He always tells me to give more, to give out of my need. Give more love, give more understanding, give more grace. Why? Because I need these things in my life.

Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you give it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38

But by far the hardest to give is money especially when you don’t have it. Now I’m not talking about the tithe. For Norman and I the tithe is a law written in our hearts. The first 10% goes to our local church. I’m talking about over and above. Support other ministries that you know are doing what God wants them to do. Support the missionaries, the street evangelist and give to the poor.

At the beginning of December my granddaughter was standing in a check out line at the grocery store. The lady in the front of her began to put items back because she didn’t have the money to pay for them. Becca, my granddaughter, told the cashier to total the items and she paid the remainder ($30). Becca had just lost her part time job but she had been taught the principals of giving from her parents for years. In particular that action had been told to her when she was about 12 years old, by our friend Pastor Frank Gresham. The lady was so blessed and Becca was so excited that she was able to give.

Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17-19

Let us all make an effort to turn 2012 around for the good. Become a fragrant offering.

Many Blessings and Much Love to You and Yours,

Dear Family and Friend,

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

Just recently I’ve had the privilege of teaching many evangelism classes in Germany. This statement came out of my mouth before I could stop it. “I love the world.” Sounds strange doesn’t it. I’m able to love the unlovable because of the Holy Spirit gifts that flow through me. And because I do let the Holy Spirit Gifts flow, miracles happen.

1 Corinthians 12:4-10

While in Euskirchen, Germany we went to the streets everyday to witness. It’s so easy to smile and be friendly. We went with the attitude of blessing whoever we met. One afternoon we met 4 young people standing in the town square. We shared where we were from, talked a little about the church. It became a friendly God centered conversation. Before we walked on we asked if anyone needed prayer. One of the girls had a problem with her left arm and hand. A earlier surgery had stunted her growth. Her left arm was shorter than the right and her hand was smaller. As we prayed we saw her arm and hand grow to the same size. We witnessed God’s Holy Spirit Miracle Working Power. And best of all 2 of the girls came to church and gave there hearts to the Lord.

In Bremen, Germany we did the same except that we had a large outdoor venue in the center of town. So it became revival inside and out. God is Good.

Costa Rica was such a blessing. I had so much fun with a all girl team. We ministered in schools, on the streets and in churches. Pastors Randy and Patty Beckham were wonderful host for the team. Everyday they kept us busy with ministry. One day we ministered to a village of prostitutes and there children. We were able to give toys and leave some clothe. But best of all we gave them Jesus.

For more about the trips check out nancyalonzoministries.org. More pictures will be posted in October.

July 4, 2011 Update

Hi,
A quick note from Euskirchen, Germany. (Yep, try to pronounce that one.) We have been having a great time. The church leadership is made up of 20 to 30 year olds. There so excited about what Jesus is doing. Face to Face, (church name) is only about 1 year old. They have been in revival since there start. Members come from 45 min. to 1 hour away. Most are trying to move closer to the church. Every week there on the streets witnessing. This week I had a 13 and 17 year old with me. Instead of me training them I felt like I had something to learn. The 13 year old was as good on the streets as anyone I’ve been with.

We’ve been teaching every morning, witnessing in the afternoon and Revival meetings every night. Pastor Frank Gresham just posted some pictures of the communion service last night on face book. You must check it out. We are having a great time but can’t wait to get home to our love ones.

More later, Blessings and Love,

Nancy

P.S.  Check out Facebook for pictures, become a friend of Frank Gresham and Whosoever Ministries.
