The Spirit of the Lord has been leading me to share some lifestyles of faith that He has taught me all these years, and how to make them work, and how I have done my best to operate the laws and principles of faith. So, this month I will share this with you… “My pockets grow money.”

HAGGAI 1:2–12
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, this people say, the time is not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built. Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus, saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. Therefore, the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

ECCLESIASTES 7:14
“In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.” In other words, in the day of prosperity, enjoy it, be blessed, have fun, BUT if the day of adversity comes, something is not right, so you need to do some considering.

Two powerful scripture settings concerning finances and money. Now we know there are more scriptures in the Bible concerning finance, money, abundance, increase, wealth, poverty, lack, giving, receiving, etc., than just about anything else. So, the norm for believers is to be blessed, to be prosperous. But these two scriptures give us a great Heavenly secret… if something is wrong, if money is tight, if things are not working, first step, then we should consider our ways. We should consider! God tells us to take care of His house, of the things of God first, and His blessings, His prosperity will come.

He says if we get this out of order, we put our money in bags with holes, and that when we get some money, He blows on it and it’s gone. Over the decades people have come to me and said, “Brother Terry, I’m working two jobs, but it’s like my pockets have holes in them. I make money, but it blows away.” I tell them it’s time to do some considering. Are you putting God and His works first?

One of my spiritual fathers, Oral Roberts, taught us the three keys to receiving from God: first, realize that God is your source. All good things come from Him. Secondly, we must give first. Third, we must expect a miracle, a harvest, and expect it from unexpected sources. That sounds so simple, but it is so very profound. I have lived by these principles since I was 20. What a wonderful lifestyle. My pockets grow money!

After reading the two above scriptures so many decades ago, I started saying, “My pockets do not have holes in them. In fact, my pockets grow money. I’m never without money. I’m never broke!” But it was not just an empty confession. I had to put action to my faith and keep my money and life in proper order, to take care of the things of God first.

My kids and my grandkids have been able to observe this ongoing miracle all their lives, and realize that Dad’s pockets grow money, Papa’s pockets grow money. But my oldest son, Lynn, has probably seen and experienced it firsthand more than the others because he has traveled with me the most, both in the United States and overseas on mission trips around the globe. He has also been the business administrator off and on over the years, and he saw the checkbooks and the bills.

Many times, over the decades, he has been with me overseas in third-world, impoverished countries, and I put him in charge of the money, including keeping it on him. Every night I would empty my pockets in the hotel room and give the money to him. The next day we would be out and about, and at a meal or while purchasing things, I would pull money out of my pockets and pay for something or give to bless someone. Lynn would say, “Dad, where did you get that money? I know when we went to bed last night you didn’t have any—you gave it all to me!” I would always say, “My pockets grow money—you know that.” Then the next day that was repeated. So, he would tell the siblings, and in later years the grandkids, Dad’s/Papa’s pockets grow money. Now they confess it over their own pockets. But again, it is not just the confession—faith demands action.

When Renee and I married 11 years ago and she became privy to the money, checkbooks, and bills, she would come to me from time to time and present a bill or a need. “Terry, we need $12,000.00,” or $20,000.00, or whatever. My answer has always been, “God has lots of money and He shares with us. My pockets grow money.”

For the world that cost the blood of Jesus,

Again, I overlook the world, they are ignorant. Most of them are rioting in ignorance and being paid for it. They are getting their information from internet influencers. People who have no business influencing anyone. The blind leading the blind. But the church?? Chanting the same ignorant clichés. Acting like the world, cursing Israel and praising demonic terrorist organizations. Praising murderous cowards who kill babies, rape women and children, serve false gods, kill innocents by blowing up airliners, buses and spread their religion of death!

Paul deals with this exact issue in Romans 11. He's writing to the Gentile church about the Jews and he says, "Do not boast against the branches." (Notice in this chapter Paul by inspiration of the Holy Spirit calls the Jews the "root, the tree" and he calls the Gentiles the wild branch that was grafted into the tree, the root.) and he says, "Do not boast against the branches." Then he explains why.

"You do not support the root. The root supports you." Everything we have as Gentile believers came from that root. Period. That deserves acknowledgment and honor. Not worship. Honor. Please go read the entire eleventh chapter of Romans. Read it in several translations. Read it until you understand what the Apostle Paul is telling the Gentiles about the Jews.

Basically, there are three things the protesters, the antisemites, are screaming; "The Jews of today are not the Jews of the Old Testament, Israel today is not the same Israel so we can hate them, abuse them, ignore them, look down on them." Paul said, "Don't boast against the branches." If this ridiculous statement was true, then God must be confused. Because all through the Old Testament he tells us the Jews will be scattered across the globe, but He will bring them back! Now we see that is happening since 1948. He is bringing them back. He thinks they are the same.

They say, "Yes God cut a covenant with Abraham but that doesn't apply today." You don't understand covenants if you think that. Covenants, like prayers are "Deathless," they have no expiration date. God said to Abraham the covenant was to him and his seed after him in their generations, FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT! Not 3 months, 10 years or just to the end of the Old Testament, but Everlasting! Still in effect today. Third, they say the Jews hate Jesus and Christians. Not all of them do, but so what. So do many Americans. "Trump is Bibi's puppet, fighting his war." Turn the influencers off. Stop looking for reasons to be offended.

Iran has stated repeatedly her one goal is to wipe Israel and America off the map. I believe them! It is our war. They call us the great Satan and call Israel the little Satan, don't kid yourself, this has everything to do with spiritual things, Heaven and Hell! Islam calls it Jihad! Holy war!

Honoring Israel doesn't mean everything she does is right. It means we have her back. Some will say, "But the people and the government aren't the same thing." EXACTLY!
Governments come and go. Some are good and others not so good. I'm not supporting the government, but the people, the nation. Just like I support America not the government but the nation. Everything America does is not right, but I support her. I have said for many years that all governments are corrupt, ours and Israel's included.

I'm out of room for this letter but I encourage you to watch the program from last week, YouTube, Terry Mize Ministries and that you get the audio of the full message I taught in October, "Why We Stand with Israel" also available on You Tube. Audio and PDF available to purchase at www.TerryMize.com.

For the only cause that counts,

Terry L. Mize

I love the old gospel hymn “Living by Faith.” I learned it as a boy and have always loved and sung it. It is like fire in my bones. I am so grateful for faith.

_{Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love;
From all harm safe in His sheltering arms, I’m living by faith and I feel no alarm.}

What a promise! What a God! Sadly, it seems many Christians sing another version:

_{Living by faith, barefooted I trek, Living by faith, the rent I must meet;
Living by faith, there’s nothing to eat; Living by faith, how bittersweet.}

My, my, what a contrast. What a different view and outlook. I can honestly say that the life of faith and the lifestyle of living by faith, including giving by faith (or Living to Give), is the greatest gift God has bestowed upon us after Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Word, and the Church!

Last month I wrote to you, as directed of the Lord, about making and changing history around the world and gave you testimonies, particularly in the Communist island nation of Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of the USA. I told you I would continue the life of faith there in this month’s letter.

The thing about that is, I wrote 15 pages continuing to share the life of faith and the history-changing and history-making testimonies of what God has done and used me to do in that nation. All glory to God! I shared things I’ve not told before and things you have heard but I have never had the time to minister in detail in a church or in my partner letter. So, I have decided to spare you a 15-page letter but still minister to you what the Lord led me to share. Therefore, I am going to quickly make it a booklet that you can download or read in hard copy in just a couple of weeks. You will be blessed by the life of faith and our many years of service in Cuba with these miracle testimonies, and you will be challenged to step up and move in faith yourself.

In all the miracles I’ve had around the globe these 58 years—almost six decades—it’s not because I’m a great guy, or a great orator as a preacher, or any other worldly thing. I got the job simply because I showed up and was both willing and obedient. I’ve not done everything perfectly, but I have tried my best, given my best, and did not quit. I don’t know when or how my story on earth will end, but nowhere in the report will it say that I gave up!

It seems strange, but in all the testimonies, over all the years, all the times I’ve stood or attacked in faith, I never really thought about it or realized at the time that “Wow, that really was faith.” Sometimes it took months or even years, and then at some point it hit me—that really was faith. I really used faith! At the time I was going through the situation, I was simply trying to stay alive, or keep someone alive, or cause a miracle to happen in each case.
I was just always, over the decades, aware of some things. I knew the Lord gave me those five scriptures that taught me the Word of Faith and radically changed my life back in 1968 when I was 18. I knew and was aware all those years that David picked up five smooth stones before he killed Goliath, which I’ve always said were the Name, the Blood, the Word, the Covenant, and the power of the Holy Spirit. I knew He gave me the five basic needs of man. I knew Jesus gave us the Great Commission five times, and I knew in Mark 16 part of His word on the Great Commission was that believers would have five signs following them. Not that I’ve ever been into numerology, but it did catch my attention. The number five in the Bible denotes God’s grace, goodness, and favor. It is also associated with divine protection, as well as the Pentateuch having five books and the five wounds Jesus received.

Those are the things that motivated me, and I trust they will motivate you! Motivate you to act in faith and live by faith. The five scriptures are: Romans 12:2, Joshua 1:8, Jeremiah 1:12, Psalm 138:2, Proverbs 4:20-22.

I have always said and taught that the way to have healings and miracles is to show up where people are sick and hurting. The greatest thing I have ever done is to show up, because when I show up, God shows up! Every miracle, every act of faith happened because I showed up. In 58 years of third-world missionary evangelism, I didn’t always have the whole plan. I didn’t always know how something would happen. I just showed up willing and obedient, and Heaven moved. You can do this too. You can live by faith, act in faith, show up willing and obedient, and Heaven can move for you!

All these accomplishments, all these testimonies didn’t just happen because of me alone. It was because of our faithful partners standing with us, praying and giving, and of course because of our great God honoring His Word.

I will let you know how to access the download about Cuba.

Still Living by Faith,
Terry L. Mize

I trust this letter finds you charging this new year with passion and fire in your bones, ready to take on everything our God has for you! I trust your Christmas and New Year holidays were blessed and, hopefully, spent with loved ones.

Wow! January 2026! Who ever thought we would be here? Every year I tell you the same two things… that the theme for the new year is “Missions.” It isn’t cute, it doesn’t rhyme, but it is absolutely the truth! The second thing is… God gives us a brand-new checkbook every January, with 12 blank checks inside. One check for each month, January-December. Once the month is passed, it goes into the history books, the annals of time. We can never get it back. The same thing when the year is passed. January is fruit inspection time. What fruit did we bear last year? Are we pleased? Is Heaven pleased with how we spent the year— pleased with what we did with what we had? Our prayers, our time, our money? We have 2026 in front of us, and one year from now we will have put that current checkbook away and reflect on how we spent the year. Only what we do for God will last.

As you know, we have been in the middle of our Orphan Christmas Project through our Foundation, JMICF. We blessed thousands of orphans, widows, those with special needs, and some missionary children for Christmas in at least 40 nations— our best year yet! Report coming soon. Thank you again!

The Spirit has instructed me to share with you the many years I’ve ministered in the Communist island nation of Cuba, and the things God has done, and the history that He has used us to make, and the history we have helped to change.  

I started going to Cuba back in the early 1990’s. Since the early 1960’s, when President Kennedy placed an embargo against Cuba, it has been illegal for an American to go to there. It was against American law. So, when Americans wanted to go, they would travel to Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, or Europe and then on to Cuba—but not directly from the USA. Upon arrival in Havana, the passport control and customs immigration service instructed its officers never to stamp the American passport because the American would be arrested when they returned home. But when the Lord told me to go minister there, I determined I would not do it that way. I would travel legally to Cuba and minister. I have broken laws of many other nations the last 58 years to go preach the precious Gospel around the world, but I had never broken American laws to do so, and I wasn’t going to start. So, I began calling our Treasury Department and asking for permission to travel to Cuba and preach. I was turned down many times, but I persisted. They said, “Rev. Mize, you cannot go to Cuba; it is illegal.” I said, “I know that, but I want you to allow me to go. I’m going to go!” They said, “If you go, we will take your passport from you and put you in prison.”

I said, “No you won’t. It is not right that I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and my own country, the United States of America, has forbade to let me go minister to people and take the Gospel to them. You need to give me permission to go legally.” Finally, after one of these phone calls, they gave in and said, “OK, we will issue you a visa to legally go minister in Cuba. It will be for ten years, and you can take anyone you want with you. They don’t have to apply, but if they are with you, they are legal.” History changed!

On one early trip to the island, I took a dear friend from Miami with me. His name is Jerry Messano. We had invited and gathered some 70 pastors from around the nation to come to Camagüey for a pastors’ conference. One afternoon we arrived at the meeting place, but no pastors were there. One of the leaders ran out to me and said, “Brother Terry, the army came to arrest you, and all the pastors jumped out of windows and doors and ran away—they were so scared.” I said, “You guys go find the pastors and bring them back here. I am going to the army base and ask them what they want with me.”

So, Jerry and I went to the army headquarters and asked for the commandant. The secretary asked me if I had an appointment, and I said, “I don’t think I need one. He wants to see me and just sent soldiers to arrest us.” We were shown into his office, and I said, “I understand you want to see me?” We sat and talked. He said, “I know what you are doing.” I said, “What am I doing?” “He said, you are gathering pastors and teaching them the Bible.” I said, “That is right. Isn’t it wonderful? I’ll bet your mother loved the Bible and taught it to you.” Soon, I said, “I’ve got to go. I have a meeting. You know my hotel, and you know my meeting place. If you want me, you know where to find me.”

We had many meetings over the years. The pastors were always afraid they would be caught, and they refused to meet in groups of more than 200 at a time. One meeting in Havana, I had 600 pastors, but in three locations in groups of 200. That was a busy time as I kept rotating from one group to another and then another. My dear friend T. L. Osborn, arguably the greatest missionary evangelist that ever graced the planet with salvations and miracles, once told me, “Terry, what you are doing is a significant step to the re-opening of Cuba to the Gospel!” That was in 2004, and now history has been changed, and Cuba is open to the Church and the Gospel. I am honored to have been a part of making that happen. I will continue the wonderful saga of ministry and miracles in Cuba in next month’s letter.

Making and changing history together,
Terry L. Mize

...we trust you had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week and that many of you were surrounded by family and friends.Of course, we do know— and Reneé and I have personal experience in this— that some have gone through the holiday missing loved ones that have moved to Heaven. Thank God Heaven is a real place, and those loved ones really know how to celebrate and are not missing out on anything!

As I told you in last month’s letter, we were ramping up or preparing for our Christmas Orphan Project through our Humanitarian Organization, Jackie Mize International Children’s Foundation (JMICF). However, now we are in full swing in gathering monies and sending out monies to precious little ones, widows, the poor, and less fortunate, as well as helping to stop human trafficking, digging life-giving water wells, helping supply vehicles, tractors, airplanes, cars, trucks, boats, and other wonderful tools to accomplish both Old Testament and New Testament commandments for the King and the Kingdom.  

These are the scriptures that get me out of bed each day and are like fire in my bones: Proverbs 31:8-9, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly. Defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

James 1:27, “Pure religion, and undefiled before God and the father is this: that you visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction and keep yourself unspotted from the world.”

The last five Christmases since Covid hit have been our best years ever, and I’m expecting this year of 2025 to be the same, as sweet partners and friends like you help us fulfill the Holy Scriptures in both Old and New Testaments. I am believing—and ask you to join with us in faith—that as people begin to see that so many NGO’s and Charities are exposed as being dishonest and don’t send all, or sometimes even portions, to where the donors want it to go that they will switch to faith-based NGOs and charities so the funds go where they are intended to go. I recommend churches and ministries but be sure and vet them. I recommend Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse, Kenneth Copeland Ministries, and, of course, Jackie Mize International Children’s Foundation (JMICF).

I am believing for our first million-dollar donation/offering to both JMICF and to our ministry, Terry Mize Ministries (TMM), but that is what faith does—it stretches and thinks big. But every gift, no matter the size, we appreciate and pray over. Thank you as you give, that we don’t rob Peter to pay Paul, that we don’t divert funds that need to go to the ministry, Terry Mize Ministries (TMM), to send those funds to our Christmas Orphan Project and JMICF. As always, I want to assure you that we take nothing out of JMICF for expenses or administration but pay those fees out of TMM. So, 100% of your giving goes where you sent it! Someone asked me recently if we would or could accept crypto coin. I answered yes, so that is a new twist.  Seems things are changing.

Let me give you an update on both the ministry and Reneé and I personally. Our Israel trip to minister to 70 Jewish pastors that are born again and Spirit-filled, who have asked me to train them in the Word of Faith, should now take place in the early part of 2026. We have the money, and as you know, this trip has been postponed four times by the government of Israel because of the war. Also, our South Pacific ministry to five nations has been postponed until June. We were to be there the entire month of November and the first week of December.
 
Since this trip was postponed, we decided we would stay home and not schedule anything for a few weeks to accomplish two things: first, to get some much-needed rest and attend to some personal appointments; and second, to find a house for us. When we moved from Tulsa to the Ft. Worth-Dallas area three years ago, the housing market was crazy! A house would go on the market at 9 a.m. and by noon there would be 15 contracts on it, and people from the West Coast were bidding $50,000.00 cash over asking price. Plus, we were always gone ministering and could not go see the property. We averaged only four nights a month home. So, we decided to wait for a better time, and we leased a home.  

Now it is time, and we are past ready to get into our own home and have our own things around us with a place for the kids and grandkids to visit. So please set your faith and set yourself in covenant agreement with us and our great God for “the home”, not just “a home”, to come to us, that we have a divinely granted appointment for it to come into our hands. A sweet thing happened recently that blessed us and confirmed it was time for this to come to pass. Some longtime dear friends from overseas sent us a personal offering and designated it for our new home. That really touched us. So, we call it in and believe it is coming. We have sown seed for it, called it, prayed for it, agreed on it, and prayed the prayer of petition… all in the majestic name of Jesus.

We love you; we pray for you daily, as I said, and we believe God’s best for you. Send us your prayer requests and praise reports. Watch our broadcasts—a new one every Thursday.

We pray you have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed and prosperous New Year!

Terry L. Mize  

Happy Fall y’all!

Wow! It’s November 2nd, which means its Reneé’s birthday—40 again…

It also means a couple of other important things: one, we just returned from ministering and participating in the world’s greatest conference; and two, it’s time to kick off our annual Christmas Orphan Project through our Humanitarian Aid Foundation, JMICF (Jackie Mize International Children’s Foundation).

Every year starting on the last Sunday of October and running through Wednesday night, Pastors Kenneth and Angel Harbaum put on and host their annual Missions Conference, at their great church, Covenant of Peace International in Eaton, Ohio. This country church, sitting between a corn field and a cemetery miles away from town, hosts this wonderful meeting— and has since 1972, when my spiritual father, Wayne Myers, preached the first one. You can see there is a lot of heritage and lineage there. It was formerly called Full Gospel Temple and pastored by Pastor Charles Rothwell.

Later, his son, Raymond, took the church. Ken Harbaum was raised in the church and at 13 was praying at the alter and a Rhema graduate came up to him and said, “Ken, I know you like missions. I’m going to give you two cassette tapes by a missionary named Terry Mize. You are going to like them.” Ken listened to my tapes, and he said it changed his life completely. He has kept them in a wooden treasure chest on his desk all these years. Pastor Raymond turned the church over to Ken, and the yearly missions conventions have continued.

I don’t even remember when I first started ministering at this convention. The first year I came, I fell in love with it. It totally reminded me of the old Lakewood Church in Houston under the great John Osteen. For years he held a missions conference over the Thanksgiving holidays. Jackie and I, with our kids— and Dean and Reneé with their kids— spent many a Thanksgiving at Lakewood and that great convention, usually coming up from Mexico. We actually met Dean and Reneé at the 1974 missions conference. Legacy… Heritage… Lineage…

I first took Reneé to COPI missions conference in 2014; we had been married just over a month. She too fell in love with it, reminding her of the Lakewood years. Of course—I had told her and Dean about it from the first year I attended.

The church family lives for this conference all year, saving money, using their faith, and believing God for increase and abundance to give to and meet the missionaries’ needs.
Pastor Ken allows each vetted missionary to come up, give their name and the country they are working in, and to state the need for their ministry. The people pray to be led of the Spirit on where and how much to give.

Sometimes there are needs for water wells—water is life, after all. Reneé and I gave to dig one in Africa last year where villagers had to walk 12 miles to get water. Some need cars, motorcycles, bicycles, buildings, medical equipment, airplanes and airplane parts, generators, food for feeding programs, trucks, plows, planting equipment, harvesting equipment, tractors and on and on— medical bills, children’s programs, human trafficking rescues, widows, orphanages, boats for some in the Amazon jungle of Peru and even more.

 I discovered the last day, in an afternoon conversation, that Pastor Ken had been trying to get a maternity hospital built in Kisumu, Kenya, complete with an operating theater for cesarian section births. This will save the lives of so many mothers and babies. I asked him what it would take to finish it and start helping the precious people. He told me $153,000.00. I said, “I’ve never heard you mention it, not even here at the convention.” He said no, he did not want to—maybe it would take away from the missionaries.

Well, that night, after all the wild or hilarious giving had pretty much ended, I got up and gave two powerful testimonies—one of mine and Jackie’s, and one of Reneé’s and mine, last year. Then I told them about the hospital, and I shared how much we were ready to give to save these lives and then I said, “Let’s get the rest of it.”

People started giving, I started counting, and BAM—we raised the total amount in less than 10 minutes, with no pressure on anyone. Praise the Lord! Over $400,000.00 for world missions— and nobody has buyers’ remorse; all of us are so very thankful. Ken told me years ago to tell the people my needs too, but I declined. Thank God and our partners for helping us get our needs met around the world. I hope every pastor would come next year. You’ve never seen anything like it.

Number two: it’s time to kick off our JMICF Christmas Orphan Program! Each year we try to make sure that orphans around the world get a good Christmas present, a beautiful tree to decorate, and a wonderful Christmas meal. Last Christmas our partners helped us give $119,500.00 in 37 nations for orphans and orphan Christmas. Total for the year JMICF gave $247,806.00 for those in need around the globe. WE SPENT $0.00 FOR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND! We paid all expenses out of TMM (Terry Mize Ministries) so 100% of what was given to JMICF actually went to the place it was intended.

Elon Musk exposed so many NGOs as corrupt. I would never give to a government or some conglomerate NGO— but there are good ones: church and faith-based ones. I am believing people will stop giving to the corrupt and government NGOs and start giving to JMICF and others like us so the money will go where it should. I am believing for one-hundred-thousand-dollar and one-million-dollar donations. So please bathe this project in prayer and give as the Lord leads. Help us with the Christmas Orphan Project! Thank you in advance!

You can watch my three services in the conference on my Facebook page. If you have had people question you about the antisemitism and hatred for Israel, Pastor Ken asked me to deal with it on Wednesday and I did.

For the only cause that counts,
Terry L. Mize

Genesis 1:26 is one of my favorite scriptures, as it shows us in the very beginning what was in the mind and heart of God. We see His vision, His desire, and His dreams.

“And God said, let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

He had already created the rest of creation: sun, moon, stars, oceans, plants, and animals. Now He is going to create His crowning achievement… His people, His children. He wanted us to have dominion to dominate. Today, we use the words: faith, power, and authority, but God used a much stronger word… dominion! As you know, Spiritual Authority is a lifestyle that I minister on quite a lot around the globe. It is a special subject to me. It has served me well these 57 years of third world missionary evangelism to the nations. It has saved my life more times than I can count, kept me well, prosperous, and successful. I really don’t think the church has scratched the surface of this vast subject.

Several times over the years, someone has told me they have stage 4 cancer and asked me to pray for them. I did, of course, but I also gave them my 11-CD series on Spiritual Authority. I told them to not treat it lightly, not to simply listen to it once and put it away, but to eat it, to get it down in their spirit, over and over again. A number of those folks did just exactly that and contacted me later and said they were cancer free! Praise God! I’m in the process of finishing up my book on this vast subject and hopefully soon you will have it for yourself.

Speaking of spiritual fathers, those of you that know me also know that I am big on fathers in the faith and honor. God is very big on honor as well. I think of them often. Reneé and I talk about them regularly. The times I spent with them was so special and valuable. Sometimes just at a meal or in conversation they would drop little golden nuggets that were life changing and will stay with me forever.

A wonderful and profound example of this was many years ago, back in the mid-1980’s, there was a major scandal going on with two very famous ministers in America. One minister was in sin, and the other minister knew it. The second minister exposed the sin to the public and even called the news media about it. It became a huge news story and scandal.

Eventually, it ended up destroying the first ministry. The minister went to prison and lost everything— including his marriage.  

During this volatile time, Oral Roberts called me and told me to come to his office. Of course, I dropped everything I was doing and went to ORU and up to the 7th floor to his office. We went into his dining room overlooking the university and the Prayer Tower to have lunch. He then told me that the scripture says in Matthew 10:16, Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 

I said, “Yes, sir, I know that.” He then told me that doves have no gall bladder and no bile or gall. (I do however realize that they have bile but with no gall bladder, it goes straight to the gut to help in digestion.) But I got his point— no gall, no bile, nice and harmless birds.
Here is the nugget! Oral told me that you can be wise as a serpent, you can be absolutely right about something, BUT the instant you become HARMFUL with that knowledge instead of HARMLESS, you become wrong!

Even though you are right, you are correct, you are WRONG! Not only are you wrong, but you will suffer the consequences. He continued to say that the second minister was in fact right, he was correct, he really did see sin in the camp. But the instant he became harmful with this knowledge, when he took the church’s dirty laundry to the world, the news media, and tried to destroy the ministry of the first minister, he then became wrong. I know inside details and reasons, but I won’t go into that here.

He followed up by telling me he had a vision of the second minister, the one who was right but became wrong by being harmful. He told me he saw him walking down the street and he grabbed his chest and said, “Oh no!” He then fell but caught himself at the last minute, stood back up, shook his head, and said, “Whew!” Then he walked on but then fell to the ground.

Oral told me, “This minister is going to fall twice, he may die but I’m not sure, but his ministry and reputation will be tremendously damaged.”

Well, of course, this came to pass. This minister was caught in a terrible situation that almost destroyed him but stayed upright. Then sometime later, he was exposed again in a second situation and ruined his reputation and most of his ministry. My point in writing this to you is not to expose ministers, but to share this tremendous golden nugget with you: Be as wise as a serpent but be HARMLESS as a dove. Don’t be harmful! You can be absolutely correct, but do not be harmful with that knowledge! We need spiritual fathers! There is an Israeli proverb: If you don’t have an old man, buy one.

We greet you this month from the state of Florida. We sure thought we were going to be in Israel this month, but as I told you recently, the government has once again postponed our pastors’ conference, due to the war. We are still going as soon as we get the green light!

The following is an excerpt from my new book I am currently working on, Spiritual Authority.  Try it out and let me know what you think.  

Spiritual Authority has been kind of my deal, my bread and butter all these 57 years of third world missionary evangelism. It has saved my life so many times. Helped me, prospered me, and caused me to win as well as those I’m preaching to…

One of my favorite scriptures in God’s Word is Genesis 1:26, And God said, “Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” It is a favorite because it opens a window into the heart and mind of God. We can plainly see exactly what His thinking was. We see His heart, His vision, His desire, and His dream for this brand-new world and brand-new species called Man.

He has already created in the previous five days; the sun, the moon and the stars. Astronomers tell us that if we wanted to count the stars, we would have to write the number 10 and follow it with 27 zeros. 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. I don’t know how much that is, but it is a bunch. Psalms 147:4 says He calls them all by name… “He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.” Wow, what a God!  Many people can’t even remember their children’s or grandchildren’s names, and God calls the stars by name.

He has created the seas and oceans, the mountains and hills. The beautiful trees and flowers.  He has created the fish, the whales, the birds, and the wonderful animals of all kinds. Then, when He finishes all of that we come to verse 26… He comes to His crowning creation, the one for whom He created all these things for; man.

Let us make man, (men and women, people, human beings) in Our image, after Our likeness.  He made us to look like Him. If you want to know what God looks like, look in the mirror, He looks like you, you look like Him! No other religion would dare claim they look like their God.  

Then He did the most marvelous thing, He said, “Let them have dominion.” That is a powerful word! We use the words faith or power or even authority, but He used a stronger word, DOMINION. He said, I want My people to absolutely dominate, be the dominating force on the earth. He gave us dominion over everything, the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.  Now, when He said, “Dominion over all the earth,” -dominion over the whole planet, wouldn’t that include the weather, natural disasters; floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, droughts, famines, storms, etc...? I certainly think that would be true.

I recently heard a well-known lady politician  say through her tears, “I think we have made Mother Nature mad at us!” I have news for this confused lady, we don’t have a Mother Nature, we have a Father God!  Everything Hell does is to refute, discount, and to deny what God has said, done, and desired. That’s what the serpent said to Eve in the garden, “Hath God said?” Did God really say that? Are you sure?

So, we see that God’s intension was for the Earth and all of nature to be subject to His people and not the other way around. Hollywood and Washington DC have tried hard to pervert this and make the trees, snails, and whales more important that man and override the needs of man in every way. They are willing to kill a human to save a bug or plant. Then they tell us we must be so careful to protect this fragile Earth. They say we will destroy it. I’ve got a news flash for them. Some fools think man can destroy the Earth and other fools think man can save it. They are both absolutely wrong. Man cannot destroy or save the Earth. It is going to be destroyed one day but God said He will do that and then He will build a new one. Isn’t that great?

This morning, I was talking to our dear friends in the South Pacific. We have planned the whole month of November to be in five nations in that region ministering the Holy Word of God. Life changing, world changing seed of almighty God, to precious people in those islands to help them reach some of the last people on earth to be reached. The utter most parts of the world. Renee and I will miss Thanksgiving with our families once again, but that is ok considering the risk of people going to Hell or the reward of them going to Heaven for eternity, and for the young ministers we are training to go and preach the Word with all boldness and power!

Watch our YouTube program, Terry Mize Ministries, More Than Conquerors, every Thursday at 7pm and hundreds more in the archives.  

We love you and pray for you. Send us your prayer requests and praise reports.


For the world that cost the blood of Jesus,

Terry L Mize

Joel 3:9, “Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.”

This scripture is very significant to Renee and I. We use it and pray it very often: “Lord, wake up the kings and the mighty men.” We use it when we need help, when we need supplies, when we need prayer, and when we need money! We are a TEAM—one for all and all for one. We all are on a divine mission for the King and His Kingdom, shining the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations. Shining the light where the light is dim—naming the name of Jesus where it has not been named! It is high time to wake up the mighty men and women of God, to rouse the warriors.

Many years ago, I had a partner who became very upset with me and quit supporting us because I quoted in my letter something Fred Price’s two daughters said to me:

“Terry, missionaries should not have to use their faith on their daily bread, or food on their table, or to take care of their family. The churches should take care of their living expenses. The missionary should only have to use his faith to win the souls and have the miracles and the ministry.”

The point was that we are a team and should be working together. Some are goers and others are senders, but we are both working toward the same goal.

That great missionary pastor from times past, Oswald J. Smith, famously said:

“If I give nothing to missions this year, I favor a recall of every missionary from the fields. If I give less to missions than I have given before, I favor a reduction in missionary endeavors. If I give to missions the same amount as in years past… my song is ‘Hold the Fort’—no forward progress—knowing full well that the Lord never called His people to hold up in a fort. But, if I give more this year to missionary evangelism, then I favor a charge into the world, leading to a greater conquest of new lands and the harvest of souls!”

His command is to “GO!”

As I stated above, we are a team, working together—either a Goer or a Sender. One is not more important than the other. They are both critical. If a Goer is ready and prepared to GO but there is no Sender, he cannot go. But if a Sender is prepared to Send and has funds ready, but there is no Goer, he cannot send. One cannot function without the other. We need both the Goer and the Sender to fulfill The Great Commission.

Here is a fun report. Many of you know that Renee was raised in a great and famous Pentecostal church in Shreveport, Louisiana. Life Tabernacle—now 85 years old—was a major beacon for the Pentecostal gospel and the moving of the Holy Spirit. So many great anointed ministers came and ministered there, and the archives room has so very many photos of them and the last 85 years. Jerry and Carolyn Savelle also came out of this wonderful house of God. Jack Moore was the pastor and was a close friend of Gordon Lindsay, William Branham, Demos Shakarian and so many other worthies. Brother Lindsay started Christ for the Nations there, and he started the Voice of Healing ministry and magazine there, but later moved them to Dallas. This is the church where Kenneth Copeland got his start, and you hear him mention it from time to time in his meetings.

I said all of that to tell you that this past Sunday, Renee and I ministered for them. It was a thrill and very touching for Renee to be there and to see friends she had gone to church with so long ago.

As you know, our conference in Israel for 70 precious pastors has been scheduled for this month of July. It has been postponed three times already because of the war with Iran. Well, this week, the government of Israel has once again postponed this historic and nation-changing conference. The air space has been closed down, with no flights in or out. No public gatherings are allowed, and they are using our conference hotel to house families that have been displaced as their homes have been damaged or destroyed by the vicious bombing. So, we wait again… but we do have the money for the budget, and the pastors are excited and waiting—as am I.

Of course, the world is calling, and we are going. We look forward to ministering in Israel soon (hopefully), and in Malta, Romania, Mexico, and in the month of November we will be ministering in five nations in the South Pacific. We are still helping to remodel the home for the director at the Bible school in Fiji. Please help if you are so led and can.

Please continue to hold us and these important meetings in prayer. Remember our YouTube program each Thursday evening called More Than Conquerors.

Pray with us that pastors around the United States and other nations are able to wake up the mighty men and women, to wake up the kings of the Kingdom, to wake up the Church. We must be about the Master’s business.

It is absolutely our pleasure and honor to be Goers for our great God and to be teamed up with our partners, the great Senders. We make each other functional to fulfill God’s dream and vision of getting the gospel to the whole world!

Your missionary to God’s world,

Terry L. Mize

Wow! Renee and I have just finally returned home after 5 weeks of traveling the nation to minister God’s great message. In the month of May we spent two nights in our own bed. In this timeframe we have had two funerals, one of which I officiated and one wedding that Renee officiated. We have ministered in 6 churches in three states doing a total of 15 services. Renee was awarded a Doctorate of Divinity, so now she makes me call her Doctor Renee. I was also awarded an additional one.

We are rapidly approaching our Israeli Pastors’ Conference, where we are going to minister to 70 Jewish pastors. These precious shepherds are born again and spirit filled. For almost 2 years, they have been eagerly awaiting  me to come and teach them the “Word of Faith.”    I think this is going to be a significant and historic meeting and I also think it will be the first of several such meetings.  Israel is a very small country with a population of between 6 and 7 million people. So, I am excited to see what our conference will accomplish in sowing the Word of Faith to these ministers. I think it will be explosive to the spiritual atmosphere in this Land of the Bible. We are paying for the pastors’ hotel and food, which of course greatly increased our budget. I am happy to report that we have the money and the budget is covered, thanks to our great God and our great partners!

Another current project we are involved with is in the South Pacific with dear friends James and Pattie Akui. They are the directors of Rhema in the area with schools and evangelism in Samoa, Vanuatu, Fiji, and Pago Pago. We have been with and ministered for them twice and are scheduled to spend the month of November ministering there again, plus the nation of New Zealand. Recently there was a terrible earthquake in Vanuatu and the school was destroyed, then condemned. Serious money needed there. They are rebuilding the director’s home in Fiji. The director is pregnant and has no electricity including air conditioning and no indoor plumbing- just an outhouse. If this was my or your daughter, pregnant in a 3rd world country we would think she needs/deserves a real bathroom in the house. The total price for this project is $30,000.00. If you are led by the Spirit and can help, please note on your memo or let my office know so we can properly account for it and get it where it goes. I received a note from Pattie that in the last 7 days, 761 precious people have given their lives to Jesus. This wonderful ministry has a 100-foot ship, on which they go island to island, among thousands of islands (so many unreached with the gospel, and some still cannibals) evangelizing and bringing the wonderful, Good News.  Look them up on Facebook, Pattie Akui, or reach them at www.UttermostMinistries.org.

Since my salvation at 6 years old, men and women of God have been my heroes, especially missionaries and miracle ministries. As a little boy, I held missionaries in awe and suspense to hear the wonderful, dangerous and miraculous testimonies. The church as a whole has always been drawn to and blessed by these intrepid and brave, dedicated men and women who went to the uttermost and the gutter most parts of this globe to take living bread to dying men! They risked their lives as well as leaving their homes and families to rescue perishing souls for Christ. So very many of them have paid the ultimate price in blood to fulfill The Great Commission.

I am troubled today at the church in general that doesn’t seem to know or honor any of these things I’ve just mentioned, and by not doing so they prove they either don’t have knowledge of the Word, the will of God and Jesus’ command for us, or they know and don’t care, which is scary!

I grew up as I said watching, following and revering, these worthies. Many became my friends over the years as you know.

Let me share a few quotes I grew up on and had my life affected and creased by:
•No man has the right to hear the gospel twice until every man has heard it once… how many times have we heard it?
•Missions, the only cause that counts…
•Give according to your income, lest God make your income according to your giving!
•The light that shines the farthest away, is the brightest at home.
•The mission of the church is missions.
•Any church that is not seriously involved in fulfilling The Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist!

We will be ministering to Gypsy Pastors in Romania in September. Pastors conference in Malta for pastors in Africa and Europe. The month of November ministering in 5 nations in the South Pacific. Mexico of course, and the upcoming pastors conference in Israel in July.

We covet your prayers. Remember to watch our broadcast on YouTube each Thursday.
My new book, “Pulling Down Strongholds”  out very soon.

You Must Go or Send a Substitute,
Terry L. Mize

When you violate covenant principles, you cancel covenant promises. 

A few months ago, a close pastor friend asked me to minister to the men of the church…

My message title was: “Don’t Do Something Stupid.” I told them: Hell knows the Bible and the laws of God. They work overtime to get people—and of course Christians—to do something stupid and take themselves out of right-standing or righteousness with God. God will not remove you from relationship with Him as His child, but you can remove yourself from fellowship with Him. Heaven cannot fellowship with sin. God cannot fellowship with sin.

So you can remove yourself from that fellowship by breaking covenant or violating covenant principles—in other words, by doing something stupid. Don’t misunderstand me—I’m not saying you are removed from relationship. You are still His child, His beloved. But you have stepped out of fellowship—and out of blessings. 1 John 1:9, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Again, righteousness means to be in right-standing with God. I am a pilot. Several decades ago, my wife and I were very close friends with a well-known minister and his wife. We liked to go out to eat and shop together. One day he called me and said, “Terry, let’s rent a plane and you fly the four of us to a city several hundred miles away. We’ll spend the night, go shopping, and eat out.” I quickly agreed, and we met at the airport the next morning. This was before cell phones and remote weather access. You had to go into the airport’s weather office to check conditions.

After reviewing the weather for our route and destination, I came back and announced that we couldn’t go—a severe squall line of thunderstorms was between us and our destination, reaching up to 50,000 feet and stretching from Mexico to Canada. My friend said, “We can still go—we are faith people! Let’s pray and rebuke it!” I said, “No sir. The storms are too high to get over, too wide to get around, and too dangerous to go through.” His sweet wife chimed in, “Yes, Terry—we can believe God and go anyway.” I said, “No ma’am. The law says the pilot in command makes the decision, and I will not do that. I’ve been in bad weather before where I prayed, and God helped me—but I won’t intentionally fly into danger. That’s not faith—it’s stupidity and a death wish.”

I told them we could change our destination and fly somewhere else instead. They didn’t want to, so we stayed home. Don’t do something stupid! 

You don’t take one Bible promise and violate another with it.

Matthew 4:1–1, Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee… Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Even Jesus was not exempt from the temptations of Hell. 

The devil tried to get Him to do something stupid. But Jesus knew the two truths:
1. When you violate covenant principles, you cancel covenant promises.
2. You don’t take one Bible promise and violate another with it.

In 1974, Jackie and I were living in Guadalajara, Mexico as missionaries. Our son Lynn had just turned three, and Jackie was pregnant with our second baby, Paul David. We were happy—living our dream—preaching the Gospel in our beloved Mexico with miracles, healings, deliverance, and people being filled with the Holy Spirit. We were training people in the Word of Faith, pastoring a great church, and teaching two weekly Bible studies in town. It was wonderful.

But one day, driving to my office, the Lord said to me, “I didn’t tell you to live forever in Mexico.” I said, “What? I’ve lived for this since I was 13! You told me I’m a missionary!” He said, “Yes, but I didn’t tell you to stay in Mexico forever.” I nearly wrecked the car. He continued, “You are in disobedience, and I cannot bless that anymore.” I asked, “What do You want me to do?” He replied, “I want you to go to many nations.” I said, “I don’t want to go to many nations. I don’t know how to go to many nations! I’ve studied Spanish, traveled her roads, eaten her food, learned her language, loved her people. We are happy here and having miracles every week!”

He repeated, “You are in disobedience, and I cannot bless that anymore.” I drove home and told Jackie. It scared her. She said, “Is God going to get us?” I said, “No, but the devil is free to. God didn’t say He would not bless us—He said He cannot bless that anymore.” “What are we going to do?” she asked. “We’re going to repent and obey—and all will be fine.” We got on our knees. I prayed: “Father, Your Word says in 1 John 1:9, If we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So we repent. We’re no longer unrighteous but back in right-standing. Now You can bless and protect us again. Thank You!” I added, “You know my word is good. I give You my word that as soon as this baby is born and Jackie and the baby can travel, we’ll go back to the U.S. and go to many nations.”

That was September. Paul was born in October, and we left in November. Right after his birth, I drove to Houston to pick up an organ and PA system. On the way back to Guadalajara, I picked up a hitchhiker. He shot at me five times point-blank—and the bullets didn’t hit me. He couldn’t kill me or rob me. Pastor John Osteen got it right in his book The Believer’s Number One Need—Righteousness. If I hadn’t repented and obeyed, the buzzards would’ve picked my bones in that cornfield. My wife would’ve been a widow, my boys fatherless, and my two daughters never born. Thank God you can repent and recover from doing something stupid. The devil’s job is to get you to be stupid and miss God. Don’t do something stupid!

Please continue to pray with us about our upcoming missionary trips this year:
•July 15 – Israeli Pastors’ Conference in Netanya on the Mediterranean coast. Seventy Jewish born-again, Spirit-filled pastors are begging us to train them in the Word of Faith! We’re paying for their hotel and food, plus Renée and I have our own travel and ministry expenses.
•September – Ministry to our Gypsy pastors in Romania. Again, we’re covering hotel and food. These pastors have started over 400 churches and a new ministry union based on the Word of Faith we’ve taught them.
•November – A month in the South Pacific, ministering in Samoa, Vanuatu, Fiji, Pago Pago, and New Zealand.
•March (next year) – An open-air crusade in Pakistan with over 100,000 people expected. Creative miracles and healings will abound—and most importantly, salvations!

We’re also still believing for a breakthrough in the island nation of Malta for a major meeting there. Please bathe all of these in prayer—for the people to receive and be changed, and for Renée and me to walk in strength, anointing, health, and finances. Remember, we have a fresh YouTube program every week— Terry Mize Ministries: More Than Conquerors airs Thursday nights at 7 p.m. There are also hundreds of archived episodes always available. We love you and pray for you. Send us your prayer requests and praise reports! Email us at terry@terrymize.com.

And always remember: Don’t let the devil make you do something stupid. When you violate covenant principles, you cancel covenant promises. You don’t take one Bible promise and violate another with it.

For the world that cost the blood of Jesus,

“Forever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in Heaven.” What a marvelous TRUTH. His Word is settled in the Heavenlies, but we must settle it here on Earth- and especially in our own personal earth.

“If you don’t have an old man, buy one.”  Israeli proverb

“As long as Satan can keep you in the arena of reason, he’ll whip you in every battle. But, if you’ll hold him in the arena of faith and the spirit, you’ll whip him every time. He won’t argue with you about the name of Jesus… he’s afraid of that name.” Kenneth E. Hagin, from his book, The Believer’s Authority.

The Word tells us: don’t be caught in the fields of the fatherless. Today, the nations and the Church find themselves fatherless. The Word tells us not to remove the ancient landmarks that our fathers have set. I want to deal with this in this letter, but you can get my series on “Don’t Move the Posts” for more in-depth, life changing teaching!

“I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus, I have begotten you through the Gospel,” 1 Corinthians 4:14-15.

“If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord,” 1 Corinthians 9:2.

In these two passages from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he is emphasizing the absolute fact and importance of having godly, veteran, statesmen in your life in a big way. This has always, in my almost six decades of missionary miracle ministry, been paramount to me. The Church at large has not seemed to place an importance on having spiritual fathers, fathers in the faith, mothers in the faith. In fact, it seems to me to be even less significant as time goes on. Another big word with God, and all through the Bible is, HONOR (or HONOUR, for my many friends and partners in British influenced nations). Honor is absolutely everything and is directly connected to spiritual authority and faith. God Himself lives according to His decree of honor. His Word is His bond. If your word is no good, you are not good. When we sing and say, “God is so good,” we are affirming He is honorable, His Word is good, you can trust Him. You can act on what He has said in His Holy Book. You can run your life by it, live it as your lifestyle. You can raise your children on it, base your marriage on it.

As most of you know, I have had a number of spiritual fathers and mothers in my life and ministry. They were my personal ministry gifts. Some were apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and all were teachers and preachers. They creased my life. Just like you would take a piece of cloth or article of clothing and take a hot iron and crease them. When I was in the US Army, my uniforms were so creased that they could stand by themselves. That is what a minister that is worth his salt will do to us— crease our lives and those creases will never come out. All my fathers creased my life permanently, and even though some have been in Heaven for years and even decades, I’m still creased. I live like they are still here and watching me. I would never want to disappoint them or make them ashamed of me. Of course, we magnify that even more with our Heavenly Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They have and still are creasing us and I never want to do anything to bring shame on them.

 I just buried my spiritual father that I had for 57 years. Wayne Myers was 102 years old and had creased my life since I was 18.  Renee and I talk about those worthies all the time, their words, lives, examples and ministries. Two of them we talk about or quote every day: John Osteen and Kenneth E. Hagin. Wow, how many times we have told people, “You cannot go wrong listening to Brother Hagin and Brother Osteen.” We love all ministers, we love the young ones just starting out, but there is nothing like hearing from an old father, a veteran statesman, one who has lived it and demonstrated it, been there done that.  

Update on missions trips this year: We still have our Israel Pastors’ Conference coming up, hopefully in June but dates are not hard set yet, as the pastors are still in the IDF, and the nation is still in a state of war. They are also being told that war with Iran could be very close. I believe this conference, with 70+ born-again, spirit-filled pastors pleading with me to come teach them the Word of Faith, will be a significant change-maker! Our Romania Gypsy Pastors’ Conference is scheduled for September. What tremendous fruit we have seen from these conferences, these ministers learning the word of faith and spiritual authority, even to them having built over 400 churches since we have been training them!

The month of November will find us in 5 nations in the South Pacific: Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, Pago Pago, and New Zealand. Of course, Mexico is always calling and the conference in Malta with pastors from several nations in Europe and several nations in Africa will be so very productive. We are still very involved with our foundation, JMICF, helping widows, orphans, the needy, and humanitarian aid.

All of this takes major amounts of prayer, health and money. Thank you for continuing to help us and thank God for the strength and anointing to fulfill this calling. Be sure to watch a new program each Thursday on our YouTube channel, with hundreds in the archives.

Only Jesus can save the world, but He can’t save it alone,

I’ve noticed there has been a lot in the news lately about NGOs and the terrible corruption that has plagued those organizations. Many of those stories are sadly true, and I have warned my friends and partners for years of the danger, corruption, and outright thefts and kickbacks to crooked politicians. Some of them are evil and use the money you give for evil things and projects, including backing Hamas and other terrorist organizations, and even human trafficking. I have even told you I would not give to Red Cross, Care, United Way, Catholic Charities, etc.… even though they do some good and help some people. I have encouraged you to give to vetted church organizations, and faith-based organizations, such as Samaritans Purse (Franklin Graham,) KCM (Kenneth Copeland,) and your local church.
   
An NGO is a Non-Governmental Organization. Usually it’s a charitable, not for profit organization operating outside of government control. They hold a (501)(c)(3) classification, being able to issue a tax-deductible receipt for donations made.
     
Not all NGOs should be painted with the same brush. There certainly are shamefully crooked ones, but there are also great and honest ones. Americans are good people and want to help people that really need help, but they don’t want to be cheated, nor do they want the people who need help cheated.  

We have watched FEMA, our own government agency created to help Americans, cheat and criminally withhold from eligible American victims. It is criminal. I believe the Trump administration will either do away with FEMA or totally reconstruct it to do good.

As you know, Renee and I have a foundation which is an NGO. A 501(c)(3) charitable organization.  My first wife, Jackie Mize, and I started the Jackie Mize International Children’s Foundation (JMICF) some 22 years ago, apart from our worldwide ministry, preaching and teaching the Word of God, with healings and miracles.
     
JMICF helps widows, orphans, the poor, needy, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, human and sex trafficking etc. We had always been involved in these worthy activities through our ministry but as it became more difficult for ministries to get into nations to help, we decided to create an NGO with JMICF, where I have been able to present my card as the CEO of an NGO and bring money to disasters.  

I have always been welcome that way. One thing we are very pleased and happy with is that we do not take any funds donated to JMICF for administrative or any other expenses. There are, of course, expenses, but we pay those out of Terry Mize Ministries (TMM) therefore, that leaves 100% of what you donate/give to go where you intended.

The American government allows Charitable organizations to use a percentage of their received donations for expenses. They don’t tell you how much, but 40% seems to be an acceptable amount.  So, we are very happy to report that we take NOTHING for expenses and give 100% of your donations.

Renee and I the last several weeks on our YouTube Television program, “More Than Conquerors,” have been teaching on “The Basics of Faith.” I trust you have been watching. Faith is the most misused and abused, probably most misunderstood word in the church today. We have remastered our series on this great subject. Much of the church world will tell you they have faith or live by faith and even many ministers who preach on faith would tell you they live by faith. However, in my observation and opinion many don’t have a clue what they are talking about and don’t know how to live by faith. Church, we must learn to live by faith. God tells us four times in the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament that we MUST live by faith! (Hab. 2:4, Rom. 1:17, Gal. 3:11 and Heb. 10:38.)

The word also tells us it is impossible to please God without faith and that Jesus only did things that pleased the Father, so we know that Jesus operated only by faith. Stay with us on our program on the Basics of Faith and get the series. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith.
   
Our calendar is filling up, both in the USA and around the world. Our Israeli pastors conference is scheduled in June. Romania has been moved to September to allow the Gypsy pastors to return from surrounding countries form Harvest season.
   
Malta is still in the planning stage and the whole month of November will see us ministering in the South Pacific, Samoa, Fiji, Pago Pago, Vanuatu and New Zealand. Mexico will fit somewhere in there also.

Believe God with us on these ministry mission trips and the expenses to pay for the pastors to be ministered to. Lives and nations have been and will continue to be changed with your help!

Your missionary to God’s world,
Terry L. Mize

We greet you today from my beloved Mexico and the beautiful capital city. When we landed here on Sunday, it marked the 57th year in a row that I landed at this airport. We are here, sadly, for the home going services for my dear and great friend, Wayne Myers. Brother Wayne graduated to the Heaven he preached about for seven decades on Saturday morning, early. He was 102 years old and had lived in Mexico for 78 years as a missionary and an apostle of God.

Wayne was my spiritual father, mentor, superhero, apostle, general, and precious friend for 57 years, having met in 1968 when I was 18 and he was 46. I was honored to be a speaker at his service. Reneé and I were so happy and comforted to see so many old and dear friends over the last few days, some of whom I have known for over 50 years. Of course, not so many of those worthies are still with us in this time. Wow, the stories we all have of Wayne, and we have told and heard so many. Only eternity will tell all that was accomplished by his ministry, and that ministry will continue strong. The work for the King and His Kingdom will continue—helping widows, orphans, the poor and needy, as well as churches and ministries. I told the people that we probably don’t even know all that we have learned from Wayne; we just absorbed it over the years through his lifestyle and conversations. I do know that I am eternally indebted to this great preacher and missionary.

As many of you know, Reneé and I have been believing and using our faith for the last year and a half for a new and very much-needed vehicle for the ministry. Over the decades, God has usually had a partner give us one. But this project has been different, as friends and partners have been sending designated offerings for the vehicle. In November, the funds for it seemed to slow down quite a bit, so we simply held the funds. Then, we were at a missions’ conference where two missionary ladies ministering in a Muslim area of Kenya shared that their car had died and that they needed a new one at $40,000.00.

Reneé and I had already given our available funds to many other projects. We wanted to help these ladies. I have always known that missionaries need good vehicles and try to help. I told Reneé I wanted to help them but had no money left. She said, “We have our vehicle money in the bank.” I said, “Yes.” So, we told the pastor we would give $20,000.00. Others later made up the remaining 20K. Within a few weeks, the money had come in for us to purchase our own new vehicle. Praise God and thank you to our precious partners! We were so very busy that we didn’t get home long enough to purchase it, but we finally got it done a couple of weeks ago.

The genius of our great God giving us individual faith is that it is the only way we can operate in spiritual authority daily on this earth! Faith—individual faith—is so very and vitally important to Heaven and certainly must be important to us today, to the church today! Jesus told us in Luke 18 that when He comes back to the earth, He will be looking for one thing… faith! He said, “Will I find faith on the earth?” He did not say grace, love, peace, or anything else; He said faith.

Reneé and I have redone my great and anointed series, The Basics of Faith. In fact, we have just done eight programs about it on our weekly YouTube program, More Than Conquerors. Years ago, I taught this in a partner church in Florida. As I preached it, I realized the Holy Spirit was preaching it and saying some things I did not know I knew. I kept thinking, “This is really good. I wish I could take notes as I’m preaching.”

The church must know these things if she is going to operate in spiritual authority and accurately use our great weapons: the Name, the Blood, the Word, the Covenant, and the Power of the Holy Spirit.

You can get this series by audio download or by audio CD’s. Please do yourself and your family a great favor and do so now! Of course, you can get Holy Ghost infusions of this message by watching us on YouTube over the next eight weeks or so.

Our mission’s calendar is filling up rapidly this year. We are excited to be teaching at Kenneth Copeland Bible College this week. We are dealing with invitations and directives from Heaven to hold a pastors’ conference in Israel in the spring. This is the meeting we had to postpone in November because of the war—70 pastors wanting us to train them in the Word of Faith. A pastors’ conference in the island nation of Malta with pastors from both Africa and Europe. A Gypsy pastors’ conference in Romania. This select group of pastors; I have taught for over 20 years. They want to grow a ministers’ union based on the Word of Faith that I have been teaching them. Also, a precious invitation to Spain to minister. Finally, in November, a wonderful mission’s trip to a large part of the South Pacific: Samoa, Vanuatu, Fiji, Pago Pago, and our beloved New Zealand, where we have ministered so many times from the 1980s to now.

Of course, as you can imagine, all these trips require lots of money. I always pay my expenses; these countries do not pay for them. Plus, in the pastors’ conferences, I pay the pastors’ expenses as well. For some, I cover their hotel and food, for others, some travel expenses. In all of them, I pay to feed them three meals a day. Then, of course, there are expenses for Reneé and I. So, as the Lord leads and your heart is moved to help us and these thousands of precious pastors and people, please do so.

You know, I’ve always said I am your spiritual investment broker. I take your precious seed sown and invest it in nations, ministries, and people around the globe where it will bring you the best rate of return. I’m expecting a great harvest for you.

We love you and pray for you daily.

For the World That Cost God His Son and Jesus His Blood,

Terry L. Mize

Renee and I trust that you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy and blessed start to this New Year, the year of our Lord 2025.

We have, of course, just come out of our major project, the Christmas Orphan Project, and it was a great success thanks to our great God and our great partners. Thank you, thank you! Soon, we will have an official report and photos available for you. Money is still coming in, and we are still sending it out.

I have talked to you from the pulpit, our weekly TV broadcast, and this letter about the fact that each January, God gives us all a brand-new checkbook for the year. It only contains 12 checks labeled Jan–Dec. At every month’s end, on the stroke of midnight, that particular check goes into the history books, the annals of time, and into Heaven’s accounting department. That city of Glory has an amazing accounting department; they count and keep track of everything. They count the hairs on your head, the birds that fall from the sky, and every idle word we speak (uh oh…) and so on.

That is the thing about time on Earth: it runs out, it has an expiration date. Once the hands of time mark the day as done, we can never get it back—it is finished. Then, immediately, we start on the next check for the next month.

Only what we do for Christ and His Kingdom will last. All else is perishable. The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:18: “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” That word temporal means temporary; it won’t last. One translation says perishable! The Voice translation says it’s fleeting and will pass away, and the AMPC says it like this: “The things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.” So it is with our yearly checkbook from God. As the year of 2024 came to an end a few days ago, so did our checkbook have to report to the accounting department in Heaven. We must give an account of what we did with what we have. Were we pleased with our yearly report? Was 
Heaven pleased?

We have just republished and reproduced my series, “The Basics of Faith,” and several friends and partners have suggested to me to encourage everyone to get and pour this series on faith into themselves. We need faith—real Bible faith—now more than ever. Faith pleases God, and Jesus said that He did only the things that please the Father. We can deduce that Jesus was a faith man and only moved and operated in faith. In fact, Jesus told us that when He returns to Earth, He will be looking for one thing: faith! (Luke 18:8).

Now, Paul tells us that faith comes by hearing the word of God, so our job is to get faith, to get into the word of God, and to go to a church that is preaching the word of God! The church must produce that kind of faith by preaching the word of God uncompromisingly.
Paul’s letter to the Corinthians says that we must examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith or not. Anytime and always, we absolutely must examine ourselves: are we operating in faith, talking faith, and acting in faith? Are we also pleasing the Father?

One last point here: Jeremiah 31:9 (AMPC): “They will come with weeping, pouring out prayers for the future.” Prayer and faith… On our weekly program the last few weeks, we have been going over a message I first preached at my friend Joseph Prince’s church in Singapore, New Creation Church. Such a critical and vital message: “Setting Your Course.”

You set your course in most everything you do—who you marry, where you go to church, etc. So many sweet Christians have not been back to church since COVID. Hebrews tells us to “forsake not the assembling of yourselves together…” Church attendance is vital for you, your loved ones, and for others coming to church. They need you, and it sets your course!
Here at the beginning of the year, January 2025, it is time to set your course for the year. Design it yourself. Of course, the way you do that is to “pour out prayers for the future” for the upcoming year, establish yourself in the basics of faith, examine yourself, see if you are in faith, get into faith, and stay there. Be determined to set your course for this year and refuse to let the devil turn you from it.

We are excited for this new year. America, and therefore the world, is coming back—it’s brighter, and we have a job to do. Israel pastors’ conference is coming up in the spring, as well as the Romania Gypsy pastors’ conference, and hopefully a Malta pastors’ conference for southern Europe and North Africa.

The terror attack in New Orleans, as all are, is from a demon spirit. Only the church is equipped to handle demons. Come on, church, let us take spiritual authority and put a stop to this. Also, the terrible fires in California have taken lives and property, leaving people with nothing. The people in North Carolina are still in trouble, and we are still helping. We have a job in front of us, and we can do it.

One major project, due to devastating earthquakes in the South Pacific, is to help very dear friends, James and Pattie Duininck-Ah Kui, and their Rhema School on the island of Vanuatu. The building has been destroyed and condemned by the government and must be torn down and rebuilt. The need there is $300,000–$400,000. That might be a stretch for just one or two of us, but it is no hill for a climber. We and God can do anything. We are not going to let this brave and faithful missionary couple go under. A lot of us together can do it: forty of us giving $10,000 (40 × $10,000 = $400,000) or 400 of us giving $1,000. Whatever you give to this worthy ministry the devil tried to destroy would be wonderful, but please pray
for them!

Setting our course for 2025,

Terry L. Mize

Renee and I just returned home for two nights after being on the road, ministering for the last month. A dear friend and long-time partner, Pastor Dave Cokonaugher, in Haslett, MI, left us for the Heaven he had long preached about and led people to. I was honored to officiate at his homegoing service.

Early voting had not started yet in Texas, and we were scheduled to be traveling and ministering all the way through November. So, we traveled to Michigan, then back to Texas to vote, and immediately left to attend the great missions conference in Eaton, Ohio. It was wonderful, and I mentioned it in my last letter. From there, we traveled to North Carolina and ministered in three churches pastored by wonderful friends, then back to Oklahoma and Kansas to minister last Sunday, and finally returned home for 48 hours.

I sincerely hope you exercised your God-given right to vote. Never think that your vote doesn’t matter or that, as a Christian, you shouldn’t vote. Elections have consequences, yet 37 million evangelicals did not register to vote!

This morning’s news reported that illegal aliens are allowed to fly for free anywhere in the United States without even having to show ID. How insane is that? They even have special, shorter lines to get through security, unlike American citizens, who must wait behind hundreds of passengers, show ID, and—oh yes—pay for their flights. Of course, taxpayers must pay for the illegal aliens’ flights as well. Yes, voting is vital, and it is the responsibility of the Church. It is the Christian’s first step in exercising spiritual authority in the natural realm!

As I shared with you in last month’s letter, we have postponed our Israeli Pastors’ Conference until the Spring. The hotel there has agreed to transfer our funds to their sister property on the Dead Sea, which was our original preference.

As you know, Renee and I have a YouTube channel and a weekly broadcast available on several platforms under Terry Mize Ministries. People often tell us as we travel that they watch our broadcast, that it is a blessing to them, and that they are being encouraged and built up in faith by the miracle testimonies. If you haven’t subscribed yet, please do so as a personal favor to Renee and I. It’s free and helps us with YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/user/terrymizeministries

Lately, I have focused a lot on the blood covenant and the covenant of blood. Many Christians do not fully understand this great subject. There are many examples of covenant in Scripture, as well as among nations and tribes around the world. Primitive tribes, the mafia in Italy and the U.S., and others live and die by blood covenants. Of course, God originated this spiritual contract, which we see in both the New and Old Testaments. Even witchcraft operates by covenants.

Here are some facts about covenant that many Christians don’t realize:
1.God’s covenants are blood covenants.
2.God’s covenants are multigenerational. They pass down to your children
and grandchildren.
3.God’s covenants are timeless—without expiration dates, lasting forever.
4.God’s covenants transcend the Testaments. They don’t end with Malachi or start
with Matthew.

We see this clearly in the blood covenant God made with Abraham in Genesis 17:7, “And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.”

God made it plain that this covenant wasn’t just for Abraham but also for his descendants, to honor it in their generation (our generation now) as an everlasting covenant—timeless and without expiration.

Paul underscores this in Galatians 3:13-14 and 29, “Christ hath redeemed (past tense) us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

This leaves no doubt that the covenant with Abraham is still in effect. Both Jews and Gentiles are heirs to it!

We are still very involved in North Carolina hurricane relief, a desperate situation. We are sending substantial offerings there, providing homes (loosely defined), generators, stoves, electric lights, gasoline for generators, and propane for cooking for the entire winter—all for $800. Please help as the Lord leads. https://terrymize.com/give

Additionally, we are in the middle of our Christmas Orphan Project. Please join us in bringing joy, hope, and provision to little ones, widows, and the poor worldwide this Christmas season.

Blood Covenant

Proverbs 14:34 says, “Righteousness exalts a nation.” I pray that our nation returns to righteousness, goodness, and greatness. For decades, I have told you that America can only be great if she is good. I’ve also shared my concerns about our nation, as her halo has been slipping, tarnished, and her goodness has waned too far.

I often quote the words of the great French historian, Alexis de Tocqueville, who wrote in 1835: “I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there… in her fertile fields and boundless forests, and it was not there… in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there… in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”

That’s why God tells us in His Holy Word, 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If My people (not the world, not the sinners, but His people) who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will heal their land.” Our Republic certainly and desperately needs healing. We need a touch from Heaven. We need to do exactly what God said and return to being good.

We have taken holy things and made them profane. We have made them a politician’s battle cry, thinking we can do as we please, that we have a vote and an opinion, instead of realizing that His Word is sacred, holy, sacrosanct, immutable, and incapable of change. People have thought we could take the Bible, the Constitution, and the words of the founding fathers—who built this nation for the ability to worship God and pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, pledging to one another “my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor” at the cost of blood—and alter or discard them. That phrase meant something to them; it was a concept of virtue and the sincere effort to live according to it.

Many Christians today truly believe they can live like a pig and be blessed like a sheep. Now that we have had the election and chosen Mr. Trump and a new administration, let us focus on praying for him, his family, and his administration, that they would hear from God and be protected and blessed with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to move forward and lead this nation. It’s up to the church, of course, to make America good again so she can be great again! Pastors, our pulpits must be aflame again!

We recently returned from a wonderful missions conference in Eaton, Ohio, where we speak almost every year and have for decades. Pastor Kenneth and Angel Harbaum host the event at their church, Covenant of Peace International (COPI), with a great heart to reach the world and support missionaries. Over 60 missionaries from around the globe were there, sharing their names, works, and current needs or projects, and then the people were given the opportunity to give—and give, they did. We raised
over $300,000 without reading a scripture about giving, asking people to give, or preaching a 30-minute sermon on giving. Nothing wrong with those things; we just didn’t do it, and the people had a heart to give.

Renee and I always look forward to this meeting, focused on Kingdom business and the harvest. Like the people, we are cheerful, hilarious givers. Among the attendees were two single missionary ladies from Sweden and Finland who went to Kenya years ago. Neither is a doctor, nurse, or medic. One went to do praise and worship, and the other to teach school. But as is often the case in the mission field, they saw a need and met it. They built a hospital that takes in HIV/AIDS patients and pregnant women. They work in a very dangerous area with a Muslim population. They shared a story about being on a road trip late at night in Dar es Salaam. They hit every pothole, and their 17-year-old car broke down and died. These two blonde women were stranded at night, miles from civilization, in a Muslim nation. I could feel every bump and pothole as they told the story, having been in similar situations myself.

Renee and I had already given substantial offerings to other missionaries, but I wanted to help them get a new car, which they needed—$40,000. I have a passion for helping missionaries with cars, as they desperately need them. I told Renee I wanted to give, but we had spent much of our funds. She reminded me that we had a bank account where we were saving money for a much-needed vehicle for us. So, we gave $20,000 to the ladies from our car fund, and we were so happy to do it. Others quickly donated the remaining $20,000, and praise the Lord, they got their car! Many of you have given to us for our vehicle, and I trust you won’t mind that we took your gifts to help these worthy missionaries. Ours will come in time—please continue to believe with us.

Two other things: The situation in Israel is causing us to postpone our Israel pastors’ conference. They are expecting a full-blown war, and many pastors are being called back into the IDF. We are now planning for spring. Secondly, it’s time to start working on our annual Jackie Mize International Children’s Foundation Christmas Orphan Project. Last Christmas, in 2023, we gave to 40 orphanages in 34 countries! Many of you look forward to being part of this great Christmas project each year. Thank you!

We love you and pray for you daily. Remember to watch our “More Than Conquerors” program, new each Thursday. If you haven’t received your brochure with the report from last Christmas, please contact us.

Missions: the only cause that counts.
Terry L. Mize

We have just returned from my beloved Mexico, where we celebrated the 102nd birthday of my Spiritual Father, Wayne Myers. What a great time with him and his two daughters, Rebecca Jacob and Paula Rowland, other members of the family, and so very many friends, some of whom I’ve known for many decades. We also ministered while there and filmed for our program along with brother Wayne as well.

1 Cor 9:2 the great Apostle Paul said, “If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.” I think it strange that people could come and hear Paul preach and not receive him as an Apostle, but they did. People also came to hear Jesus speak and did not receive Him… amazing!

Much of the church seems not to know or understand a great deal of the ministry offices or gifts, as referenced in Eph 4:11, “And He gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers.” These gifts or offices were the Idea of Jesus Himself. No man thought this up, it came directly from the heart of the Father and the heart of Jesus. He thought we needed them in the church, His church. These gifts keep the church balanced, well fed. A true balanced diet: not just one or two, but all the gifts perfect the saints and grow up the church to be healthy, well-equipped Christians. It is much like a mother serving her family a well-balanced meal. Not just green beans for every meal or just bread, for Jesus said, quoting from Deut. 8:3, “Man shall not live by bread alone…” Many wise pastors will bring in these varying gifts to strengthen the church. When I pastored decades ago, I brought in the ministers in the Biblical offices in the order that Paul gave us in Eph 4. First the Apostle, then the Prophet, then the Evangelist and so on. Then I repeated the cycle to give a well-balanced diet, to grow a strong and healthy church. This act allows the Holy Spirit to use these gifts to leave a Holy deposit that will stay in the church and put a crease in the people. You hear me use the word, “crease” a lot as it is so important. That’s what these offices do in the church, they crease the church and the people just as you take a piece of cloth and place it on the ironing board and crease it with a hot iron. When I was in the U. S. military, my uniforms were so starched and creased that they could stand up by themselves. This is what Father’s and Mother’s in the Faith do to us as well. My Spiritual Fathers, Mentors, and Generals, creased my life decades ago and I am still creased, still affected by, and still doing and living by those holy deposits that were invested in me!

Some do recognize and understand this of course. Many pastors have told me over the years that when I ministered in their church, I left a huge Apostolic deposit in the people and helped change or stabilize the church; to God be the Glory! One well known pastor asked me a few years ago, “Terry, I want you to commit to me to be in my church and my pulpit at least twice a year, because I need my people to be exposed to the apostolic anointing and gifting.” Others have said, “I want you in my church regularly as the people need to be exposed to an older minister that has lived it and succeeded, a veteran missionary statesman, a Father, or General (all their words, not mine) that has been there and done that. They realize how very important this is. The church needs to know her legacy, her heritage, where we came from and where we got what we have. We need the fellowship, and we are not the only fellow in the ship. We didn’t just make this up! I am so grateful for my Spiritual Fathers, my Mentors, my Apostles, my Prophets, my Evangelists, my Pastors and Teachers. Most of mine are in Heaven now, I’m almost an orphan. I have only two left, one is 102 years old, and the other is 87 years old. Thank God we still have these older anointings in the world today. We need to glean and feed off their ministries.

We continue to bless widows, orphans, the poor and those affected by humanitarian disasters. We just sent $5,000.00 to a pastor and head of an orphanage in Zimbabwe, Africa, as his home just burned to the ground. His family escaped with only the clothes on their backs. He continues to bless his orphanage, other orphanages, and the community with the water well we dug for him along with the tractor, plow/disk, and planter we bought for him through JMICF. Please keep this foundation in your prayers.

We have several projects in the works that must be finished, I know our partners, and you are good givers and some really love to get involved or take care of PROJECTS. Two major projects now include the remainder of the funds to purchase our new ministry vehicle we are believing for. We have money in the bank, and it is getting closer to the goal. If you are a project person and like to get involved with ministry vehicles this could be for you.

Next, we are holding a Pastors Conference in Israel, in November. We have 70 Israeli ministers registered and asking me to come and teach them “the word of faith.” Our budget for this is some $80,000.00. We are paying their hotel and food. We have already sent a deposit of $30,000.00 to the hotel, and we have $20,000.00 in the bank, leaving a balance of $30,000.00. This could be a historic project for you to get involved in. I believe these 70 pastors can change Israel.

For the only cause that counts,

As you know we just returned from Australia where we were ministering East Coast, West Coast and South Coast for a month. We had 25 wonderful services with healings and miracles. I never tire of God’s miracles. Only home a few days then off to the Central American nation of Honduras.

The first time I was in San Pedro Sula, Honduras was 49 years ago. I was 25 and we had 25,000 people in the crowd. The tremendous supernatural miracles were so many we could not count them… the blind eyes and deaf ears opened were so constant and often we almost considered them commonplace. I had to repent for that!  

This trip we both ministered at the Annual World Convention of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI). Renee ministered to some 3,500 ladies on the Ladies Day ministry. I was asked to also minister to all the International Directors from 6 continents on “How to Minister the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to People.” Not only did I minister to them on the subject, but I called for those directors who had not received this wonderful gift and who did not speak in tongues and some 100 directors and others received.  

 There were thousands in attendance at each service and I preached an open-air crusade in the Olympic Stadium. I was told the crowd was close to 20,000 people. I’m still waiting for accurate numbers on healings and salvations. Even though it rained, the people continued to come, and they stayed, and they were not disappointed.  Thousands were born again and healed and received miracles, to God be the glory! Miracles in the rain! While in Honduras we preached at a church for longtime friends, Pastors Edward and Sarah Nazar. We heard their great testimonies of Supernatural Childbirth! (Family Photo Shown Above.)

Returning from Honduras we were privileged to attend Kenneth Copeland’s Southwest Believers’ Convention, SWBC. For 56 years when I have returned from ministry overseas, and pouring out, I have attended a conference or ministry and gotten filled up again. All the speakers were on point. Renee and I enjoyed the meetings and seeing lots of old friends and partners.  

Many partners and friends continue to ask about our upcoming Pastor’s Conference in Israel. I received a call recently that caused a date change, so the September dates are now the last week of November. Please continue to bathe this ministry, which will take place in the Land of the Bible, in prayer.

Seventy Jewish ministers are registered to attend and are very interested and hungry for someone to teach the Word of Faith to them. I felt like, this trip, I should pay their hotel and food expenses, as I do for pastors in third world nations, which of course shot our budget way up. We will hold this vital and potentially nation changing conference in the coast city of Ashdod, between Gaza and Tel Aviv. Ashdod is one of the oldest cities of the world, dating back 4,000 years and having watched the rise and fall of empires. Its name in Hebrew means stronghold, or fortress and well it has been. The Israeli pastors are saying this meeting is a miracle, as trying to gather “believing Jews” has been extremely difficult over the years. But the “Word of Faith” message is drawing and exciting them.

Our budget is considerable as they usually are. We are looking at $60,000.00 for the pastors and the hotel and venue. That doesn’t include Renee’s and my expenses of course or the miscellaneous expenses that always crop up. We are then believing for $80,000.00 to totally cover this critical trip at this critical time! Very rarely do Christians ministering in Israel invite or offer salvation to the orthodox Jews, but we will and always do. Jesus said to the Jews of His day, “No man comes to the Father but by Me.”

If you would like to go with us, we need to know ASAP to hold your room. Late November is a busy month there and of course you would miss Thanksgiving, as Renee and I have many times. We are not doing an organized tour or anything like that. This is a ministry trip. Please put time in prayer and of course if the Lord leads you to invest into Israel and these precious ministers, please do so. As you know, Renee and I don’t ask for ourselves ever, but I do depend on you and our faithful partners to help pastors and widows, the poor and orphans. Just think, if a number of us gave one thousand or multiple thousands we could knock it out quickly! I know many cannot do that and every gift of any size counts. All I ask is that we don’t rob Peter to pay Paul. If you are a regular partner with Terry Mize Ministries, please do not simply switch your funds from one to the other. Find out more about how to give on our website: https://www.terrymize.com/give.

We will be ministering in Mexico and attending Wayne Myers, my spiritual father, 102nd birthday the last of August.

Our second project, along with the Israel ministry is the purchase of a new vehicle for the ministry so Renee and I can continue to be where we need to minister. We have funds in the bank and are getting closer to the purchase price. Thank you to those who have given and if you are led and are wanting to help finish this worthy project, please do so, marking your gift “for new vehicle.”

We love you and pray for you daily. Remember a new program is up every Thursday on YouTube and other platforms. Terry Mize Ministries, “More Than Conquerors.”

We greet you this month from “Down Under,” or as Smith Wigglesworth once prophesied, “The Great Southland of the Holy Spirit,” Australia. We have been here 17 days and traveled South to Melbourne and Stanhope, then the West Coast, to the beautiful city of Perth. We are now back in Sydney and tomorrow we go to the Gold Coast. Next week we go to Brisbane before finally returning to Sydney and flying to the USA.

A month-long ministry trip of some 25 meetings which has been fruitful and wonderful and still more to come. We minister again tonight in Sydney and tomorrow off to Coolangatta to minister in the host church for the ICFM Australia Annual Convention, where I’m also ministering all week. Finally, to Brisbane for ministry at Rhema and dear friends, Tony and Patsy Cameneti. I’ve known Patsy since she was a teenager, so proud of them both.

I want to acknowledge and profusely thank dear friends and Pastors, Paul and Wendy Le Lievre, who have gone over and above working and putting this Australian itinerary together and served selflessly in hosting us and caring for us. I also want to thank other host pastors i.e.... John and Eileen Brown in Melbourne, Kez and Wal Sinapius of Stanhope, Margaret and Barry Court of Perth, Dale and Ruth Smith of Broadbeach/Surfers Paradise and Tony and Patsy Camenetti.

Upon returning to America, after about 10 days home, we travel to the Central American nation of Honduras to be the keynote speaker for the World Convention of the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI). Renee will be speaking for the Ladies Day. Honduras has become very dangerous in the last decade. The last time I was there they assigned armed security people to us. While there, I also am preaching a great open-air Crusade, where they expect 10,000 people. Believe with us for great miracles, healings and salvations!

Being here these weeks have been fun and rewarding, not only for the spiritual things, the healings and miracles, plus salvations God has done, but also the seeing old and dear friends from days gone by and hearing their testimonies and ministry experiences over the years. I’m having people tell me that they were in that 10 ½ hour service I held 42 years ago in Perth. Many in the ministry now and some in missionary service, miracle ministries, pastors, evangelistic ministry and more.

One testimony last week; a brother told me that he received a creative miracle in that service they have started calling “The Wednesday Night,” back in 1982. He told me he had two wisdom teeth on the left bottom side. They were hurting him terribly. In that service, the anointing of God totally dissolved them both. Gone, disappeared, non-existent! Major creative miracle, to God be the glory! It seems that I’m getting more testimonies at every town and every meeting.

I’m writing this to you the last of June and next week is the fourth of July, American Independence Day, America’s 248th birthday. This mighty nation which has been a beacon and a lighthouse of freedom to the nations of the world all these years, has been under attack by Hell and her cohorts in Hollywood, Washington DC, and elsewhere to try to make the USA a communist and third world country, with no exceptionalism or any difference from the other nations around the globe. The problem with that is that she is special, she is exceptional, she is different, and she is better because America is the only nation on the planet that was created for freedom of religion, for free worship of God, and was dedicated by the Founding Fathers to God, given to Him, America belongs to God! 

This morning, I again re-read some 115 quotes from Founding Fathers and early Statesmen about God, the Bible and their own belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior. This is not an exhaustive list, there are many more. The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were mostly Christians, 27 were Seminary graduates and several were ministers. They were faithful to give glory to God and to incorporate His Holy Word in their famous writings of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. No such documents or no such nation has had the beginnings or the Holy reasons for existence as these.

They knew the risk, that signing the Declaration would paint a bullseye on them, their families, their homes and their businesses. They were patriots, but they were also subjects of the British Crown.  Signing would make them criminals… traitors. Penalty for being a traitor… death by hanging! These 56 signers (there would have been more, but some were absent on that day) proved by their every deed that they made no idle boast when they composed the most magnificent line in history (aside from the Bible), “… and for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.  We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” That last line of the declaration is a statement of their personal commitment! Just as the mostly unknown last verse of our great National Anthem states: “Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto- In God is our trust, And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave. O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

I know you are staying in agreement with us concerning our new vehicle for the ministry and our upcoming Pastor’s conference to Jewish pastors in Ashod, Israel the last week of November. The funds for both projects have been coming in and it will be done!

We love you and pray for you daily. Remember our weekly “More Than Conquerors” YouTube program every Thursday, with hundreds more in the archives.

Jesus is Lord over Australia and America…

Perth, Australia 1982

Many of you have heard me say over the years that my longest service was 10 ½ hours. That was in Perth, Australia in 1982. Jackie and our 4 kids were with me, and it was quite a blessed trip and Holy Ghost trip. There were multiple miracles, healings, as well as people ministered to, and creased for years or for life. I love it when God creases us, just like you would put a piece of cloth on an ironing board and then crease it with a hot iron. I have run into several people around the world in the last 42 years that have told me, “I was there the Wednesday night, God healed me, and I’m still healed.”

One of the great miracles that night was for Margaret Court, who was and still is a great tennis legend. The current sports term for “Greatest of all Time” is G.O.A.T. If you google Margaret, that’s the term they use for her. No one, male or female, has ever beaten her records and I suspect no one will. 3 Wimbledon’s, 64 grand slams, etc. Serena Williams said at her retirement that she should be the G.O.A.T. even though she did not break Margaret’s record.
That miraculous night 42 years ago, Margaret said to me, “My right shoulder is higher than my left, my right hip is higher than my left, my spine is curved with scoliosis and I’m in constant pain.” I told her that Jesus needed to do an overhaul on her and reached to lay hands on her but didn’t touch her as the Holy Spirit knocked her down and she stayed down for 3 hours. The next day she and her husband, Barry, called me from their Dr.’s office with this report: We have the original x-ray showing the shoulder and hip higher and the spine curved, and we have the x-ray taken this morning. My shoulders are even, my hips are even, and my spine is straight, plus I don’t have any pain… Praise God! She is now pastoring one of the world’s great churches called Victory Life along with associate churches, as well as Bible school campuses in various locations.

We cried as we left my beloved Mexico to obey that call, but I have continued to return every year since then. So many friends there, so many salvations, and marvelous miracles there. My hitchhiker testimony was in Zacatecas. God changed history and rescued two towns from poverty in the state of Hidalgo. I have preached the gospel and taught the word from the Atlantic, to the sea of Cortez, and on to the Pacific. I have watched Pastors take up the mantle and grow from adobe and palapa churches to large modern buildings. I have seen them come from abject poverty to sending their kids to university in Europe.
Yesterday the people elected their first female president. She is a Jewish Mexican, and a communist, a strong proponent of the LGBT and transgender platform. The cartels assassinated some 37 previous candidates during the election cycle. Mexico has never had revival, but I believe it’s coming even if it’s the last revival on planet earth. I love her, she is still my beloved Mexico. Please continue to pray for her.

Renee and I greet you this 1st day of December on a snowy day in Michigan. We are ministering for Mark and Vickie Barclay this weekend as well as attending their leadership conference and serving on the President’s Cabinet Board. Wonderful meetings with lots of old and good ministry friends here.
I started my last letter sharing some faith principles and lifestyles with you, but quickly ran out of space so I will pick it up again this month. Of course, you never get “through” when talking about faith. Brother Hagin always told us, “You just unhook the train and then hook up again the next service.”

Thank you as you give, that we don’t rob Peter to pay Paul. That we don’t divert funds, that need to go to Terry Mize Ministries (TMM), to the Christmas Orphan Project and JMICF.  

I certainly want Heaven to be pleased as we finish our last check for 2023 and I want to get ready for my new checkbook labeled 2024!

Remember, every Thursday Renee and I release a new “More Than Conquerors” program on YouTube, Facebook, NOW Network (Wednesdays 8:30PM ET), and the many other platforms available to you. We will minister to you a good and relevant word to help you and bless you.

Renee and I and all at our ministry, wish you and declare over you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, blessed, and prosperous New Year!

In the Name, Blood. Word, Covenant and Power of the Holy Spirit,d

Type your new text here.

It has been my joy and great honor, to teach and train pastors and ministers around the globe all these years, in the mighty, majestic, and matchless name of the Lamb and the Lion of Heaven. I am so thankful that our King Jesus is both. The Lamb whose precious blood was worth all of humanity, past and future, the great fail-safe plan and purpose of God, to redeem all mankind. The Lamb without spot or blemish, the perfect Lamb with His perfect blood. He is also the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. We will deal with that at another time. God has always required blood for sin. In the Old Testament God accepted the blood of animals; bulls, goats, lambs, turtle doves and suchlike, but He accepted it as atonement for the sins of people.

In August of 74, living in Mexico as a missionary, literally living the dream that I had since I was 13 years old, we started a great church in Downtown Guadalajara plus I had two or three home Bible study meetings around town. I was having wonderful miracles right and left, everything was going my way and both Jackie and I were very happy serving God in missions. We intended to live in Mexico forever. Jackie was pregnant with our second baby, which the doctors had told her all her life she couldn’t have. I had a nice office in a new little strip shopping center, and all was well with the world. But driving to the office one day, the Lord said to me, “I never told you to live in Mexico forever.” ‘Wait, what? You told me when I was 13, I have lived for this and worked for this for years.’ “No, I told you, you are a missionary, a missionary evangelist, an apostle. That I have called you to reach leaders, to train ministers around the world. I told you to learn to fly. Now, you are in disobedience, and I can’t bless that anymore.”

I drove straight to my house and told Jackie what the Lord had said. She said, “What does that mean, that God is going to get us?” I said, “No, He didn’t say He wouldn’t bless us, He said He cannot bless us, which means the devil is going to get us and He can’t stop it.” That scared her, “What are we going to do?” “That is simple, we are going to get on our knees and repent and we will be fine. We will be back in right-standing or in righteousness with God again.” You see, I had accidently, innocently, broken fellowship with the Father, but I had not broken relationship. We prayed, “Father, Your word says if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. So now we are forgiven and in right standing with You and immune from the devises of the devil. I give you my word that as soon as this baby is born, and they can travel we will go to the USA, and I will learn to fly and prepare to go to many nations.”

A couple of months later I picked up the hitchhiker and he screamed at me, “I am going to kill you.” I answered, “No, you’re not, I am a man of God, I have authority over you, and you can’t kill me or hurt me in any way.” He shot at me 5 times, point blank range and the bullets did not hit me. What happened to them? I do not know. How did God do that? I do not care. I have never asked Him how He did it. But I do know that because I was in right standing with God, my faith and authority worked the way it was supposed to. Thank God for the Blood, the Name, the Covenant, the Word, and the Spirit, and for showing me to make things right so my faith would work!

I greet you this month in the matchless name of Jesus and remind you that the Word states that a man of understanding is a man of a cool spirit. So, stay cool in Jesus.

Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The beautiful city of fountains and roses, eternal springtime at 5,000 feet above sea level. Our home in 1974, and we thought it would continue to be for the rest of our lives. One of our children was born there, Paul David, so he had dual citizenship. Lynn was not yet three when we moved there and was doing well at speaking Spanish with his little neighborhood and church playmates. He just turned 52 this week, wow! Jackie was very happy and content in our small but beautiful apartment and her pregnancy was going well. We were believing to do something we had never heard of anyone doing before… to experience this pregnancy and birth as supernatural, quick, and totally painless. It came to pass as Paul weighed 10 pounds and was born in 20 minutes with no pain, no tearing, no stitches, no epidural or medications, and it was so fast that our doctor didn’t make it to the hospital in time. They caused quite a stir around the hospital and Paul looked like a giant in the nursery with the small Mexican babies around him. Of course, the miracle was even more amazing, as doctors had told Jackie all her life that she could not have children. The spirit of the Lord had spoken to a friend and partner there in town to pay for the hospital bill and she was in a great little private boutique hospital used by wealthier people. It was wonderful for these two young, missionaries who were living by faith and trusting God for all our provision. God really has been so, so good.  He has been found faithful, Praise the Lord! “Supernatural Childbirth” book is still available.

One day, I was at work in my office, a lovely little spot in a strip mall on a major boulevard, when a lady whom I had seen at church but did not know her name, came bursting in hysterically crying and yelling, “My baby is dying, my baby is dying, brother Terry, please help me!” I immediately jumped to my feet and started outside, assuming her baby was out there, maybe hit by a car or sick in her car. Looking to her for direction I asked, “Where is your baby?” She said, “In the Military Hospital. She is dying with cancer of the blood, Leukemia. We have had her in five hospitals and the chief of each one has given up and told us there is no help and no hope. This morning the chief of the Military hospital told us the same and my little girl (10 years old) is in horrible pain, and nothing can be done. Please help us!”

I told the lady to sit down. I said, “Your baby is ok. I decree as a man of God, in the office that God has called me to, in the Name of Jesus, that she will live and not die.” She said, “Please come, she is in pain and dying!” I told her, “No, she is fine, she is healed.” “Please come she begged me.”

“Your baby is fine, and I will come to the hospital later today, but right now, I want to pray for you, to calm down and be in peace as you travel back across town to the hospital. Tell me what time visiting hours are and I will be there tonight.”

That night I took a friend with me and when we entered the hospital room, the little girl was sitting up in the bed, laughing and playing. The mother and grandmother began to cry. I said, “I thought she was sick?” The grandmother told me; “When my daughter went to find you, my granddaughter was so sick and crying in pain. They were giving her pain medicine and could do nothing. While my daughter was gone to see you, my granddaughter became just like you see her now. She is fine, she is well. The doctors and nurses are running in and out trying to figure out what has happened. They want to keep her for a week and run tests.” I said, “That’s fine, let them keep her, God stands up to tests.” The next Sunday I was on the platform and preaching. The back doors opened when the mother, grandmother and little girl came in. The doctors had released her and pronounced her healed of cancer. When the girl saw me, she ran up the aisle to the platform, jumped into my arms, and hugged me... that was so much better than preaching her funeral, all Glory to God!

We have been busy the last few months and have driven coast to coast. I mentioned last month that it is time for a new vehicle to meet the ministry demands and asked you to join your faith and prayers with us for it to manifest and come to our hands, paid for. Several partners have given or sent offerings earmarked for the new transportation. We appreciate your generosity, love, and prayers.
We believe it’s coming.

In the last several months of ministry we have supplied financial help as well as ministry help in a lot of areas. We paid methane gas supply for an orphanage in Romania. We paid the car repairs, for the widow, of our co-labor that took care of several orphanages and gypsy pastors in Romania, who passed in January. We provided new cribs and mattresses for an orphanage in Botswana, Africa. Through our JMICF humanitarian organization, watching over and providing for orphanages we have given to precious ones in 5 continents since the first of the year. We have increased our help with new staff expenses, food, and care, including medical care in Mexico as the Cartels have increased their evil works and control. We have paid for several funerals for widows to bury their husbands in a number of nations. Some churches in the USA are wanting to send their missions money through us as we are hands on and boots on the ground. We know and have vetted these places. We have been at this for 55 years and God has used us to bless and help people. I used to say, “I’m a clearing house and a missionary investment broker,” and that’s still true. We have exceeded the last 7 months what we used to give at Christmas alone. 

We are going to Mexico City to be with my Spiritual Father, Wayne Myers and celebrate his 101st birthday next week and to minister. We have upcoming pastors’ conferences in Romania, Mexico, and Malta. Please watch our YouTube TV programs and please subscribe. My new book, “Pulling Down Strongholds” will be out soon. We covet your prayers.

Until All Have Heard,

Happy Fourth of July!

We greet you this month from California, where we have been ministering the whole month of June and will continue the whole month of July. In Acts 15 the Apostle Paul said to his preaching buddy, Barnabas, let us go visit the churches (their partner churches) and see how they do. So, when Renee and I are in the USA, we do the same thing. 
We have been and still are visiting our partner churches to see how they do, minister to them, encourage them, love them, and lift them in the Word and the Spirit.
 
I’m writing this to you the last of June and next week is the Fourth of July, American Independence Day, America’s 247th birthday. This mighty nation which has been a beacon and a lighthouse of freedom to the nations of the world all these years, has been under attack by Hell and her cohorts in Hollywood, Washington DC, and elsewhere to try to make the USA a communist and third world country, with no exceptionalism or any difference from the other nations around the globe. The problem with that is… she is special, she is exceptional, she is different, and she is better because America is the only nation on the planet that was created for freedom of religion, for free worship of God, and was dedicated by the Founding Fathers to God, given to Him, America belongs to God! 

This morning I again re-read some 115 quotes from Founding Fathers and early Statesmen about God, the Bible, and their own belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior. This is not an exhaustive list, there are many more. The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were mostly Christians, 27 were Seminary graduates and several were ministers. They were faithful to give glory to God and to incorporate His Holy Word in their famous writings of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. No such documents or no such nation has had the beginnings or the Holy reasons for existence as these.
 
They knew the risk, that signing the Declaration would paint a bullseye on them, their families, their homes, and their businesses. They were patriots, but they were also subjects of the British Crown. Signing would make them criminals and traitors. Penalty for being a traitor… death by hanging! 

These 56 signers (there would have been more, but some were absent on that day) proved by their every deed that they made no idle boast when they composed the most magnificent line in history (aside from the Bible) “…and for the support of this declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of Devine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” That last line of the declaration is a statement of their personal commitment! Just as the mostly unknown last verse of our great National Anthem states: “Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto- ‘In God is our trust,’ And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave. O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” 
 
Renee and I are excited for several foreign missions ministry trips coming up rapidly. We will be ministering in our beloved Mexico in August and while there we are going to celebrate the 101st birthday of my Father in the Faith, Mentor, General, dear friend and veteran missionary statesman, Wayne Myers in Mexico City. Wayne has lived and ministered in Mexico for 76 years with his precious Martha, who left us for her Eternal home a couple of years ago. They raised their three children there as well. At 100, Wayne is still preaching and mentoring Mexican Pastors and yours truly, I’m still learning. 
 
In late September we are looking to continue our ministry and training to Romanian Gypsy pastors. We have ministered to them for some 25 years. Our great friend and ministry leader to these pastors, Paul Crisan, suffered a massive heart attack in January and transitioned to the Heaven he had preached about for decades. Paul also took in and ministered to precious orphan children for many years and he loved them as his own and they loved him as their dad. He led the pastors we have been ministering to and training in the Word of Faith to start their own Union (like our denominations) of those ministers that received us and embraced the Word of Faith message. They went on to establish over 400 churches. 

Paul’s widow, Cami, is helping us choose the most promising, productive, serious pastors and leaders to meet with us in this September meeting to plan the future and for us to continue training and mentoring as well as ministering to these future History Makers and World Changers. 
I told her recently that I want her and us to be sensitive to the Spirit of God to bring only those Gypsy ministers that are completely single minded about changing history and making history in this former communist nation. We will pay their lodging and food for several days of multiple service conference. 

Most likely we will have 200 valid leaders in attendance. I don’t have the new prices yet as everything has changed, and prices gone up since covid. My best guess is about $40,000.00. I will know for sure soon. That has been the expense in years past. I am not asking for me but to help this pastors conference and change the Gypsy people and nations. Please ask the Lord how you can help and what He would have you give.
 
A major prayer request I would ask you to join Renee and I in, is for the Lord to provide us a new ministry vehicle. It is time. Our last three have been given to us by precious friends and partners and many vehicles before those. Our present F150 Ford truck has been such a major blessing. Given to us new with only 52 miles on it delivered to our home in 2019. Of course, vehicles these days can go 200K and even 300k or more miles. We have put 150k ministry miles on this one, but it has begun to have some problems. Recently we were leaving for a major ministry trip to the east coast, and we blew the transmission which cost over $8,000.00 to replace, plus interfering with our schedule and of course towing it and Renee and I several hundred miles in the wee hours of the morning. Then right after that the whole computer system, media center, GPS maps and sound system went out and had to be replaced. When things begin going wrong and with high milage we decided we must believe for a new vehicle. We must be able to stay on a tight schedule to get to ministry meetings and partner churches. So, its time and we ask you to join with us in prayer and faith to provide this ministry tool.
 
We love you and pray for you daily. Send us your prayer requests and praise reports. Remember every Thursday we have our YouTube program, “More Than Conquerors.” Reach us online at TerryMize.com.
