WELCOME TO
Big Sandy,Texas! Dear Friend, The night is darkest just before the dawn. That is true in the world of nature and in God’s working throughout history. We have an incredible opportunity to make a difference in our world. The practical and literal way that you learn this week will equip you to understand the “mystery of the gospel of Christ” and experience the power of that Gospel for daily victory.
It is a personal joy to be with each one of you. I look forward to speaking with as many of you as possible during this week. The fellowship we enjoy together is the result of having the same passion in loving the Lord and in loving one another. Let’s give “perfect greetings” to everyone and enjoy the one-accord power that God will bring. Through Christ our Lord,

RESOURCES
Many other valuable resources are available at the Book Tables or by visiting store.iblp.org!
This vital resource is the result of five years of study and the promise of Jesus to reveal Himself to those who study all His commands. It arranges the forty-nine commands of Christ into seven categories. Each one reveals the deeper causes that will conquer the stresses of anger, guilt, lust, bitterness, greed, fear, and envy. The foundation of each command is identified in the Old Testament and is applied to the New Testament epistles.
Daily Success Devotional
Opportunities for Growth International Ministry
There are many overseas openings available! Peru, Mexico, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Australia, are just a few of the nations in which ATI students are ministering. Are you ready to accept the challenge to serve the Lord in another country?
