Joe & Becky Cruse

Good Morning!  We bring you greetings in the Name of Jesus!  At this writing, we have just a few services left in our Summer Revival here at City Worship Centre—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week.  Friends, if I could encourage you in one thing—don’t let this time pass and not be apart of the powerful times of worship and ministry we are experiencing.

Sunday night, our friend, Tim Gidley, shared his testimony in word and song and many people’s lives were so touched.  Last night, the worship team led us into a strong time of worship and Ps Dean and Jane Bearden from Corpus Christi, TX shared as the anointing moved so freely among the people.

Ps Joe is ministering on the power of the Word of God and seeding His Word into our lives.  What a blessing it is to know that as we speak His Word, we can move mountains!

Consider this your special invitation to join us for “Fun in the Son Revival” this week.  Church, don’t miss out!  This is an important time as we go forward into all God has for each of us.  

Isa. 55:6 says, “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”

With the changing and challenging times we face, let’s seek God for our lives, our families, our nation, and find our sufficiency in Him. If not now—when?  Put aside the cares and worries of life and come get in His presence.  You won’t ever be the same!

Last but not least, if you are planning on attending the 4^th of July picnic at Ps Joe and Becky’s house, let us know you are coming.  This will help us to plan accordingly with the food.  Contact the church office @ 512.301.0471 or email Ps Tressa @ tressacruse7@aol.com. 

Friends, have a blessed week—we sure would love to see you in the meetings!

Ps Joe and Becky Cruse and the team

Just a quick update on WMI revival in Tampa Fl: We had an absolutely wonderful time with our friends from Covenant Christian Center in Tampa Fl. Mornings were spent teaching on worship and Holy Ghost meetings at night where so powerful. We are forever changed. God did so many things in all of us. Ps Kevin and Gaile Howell are wonderful pastors and dear friends of this ministry. We always enjoy spending time with their ministry. Partnership is a wonderful thing! More on this later….

We have just returned home from some of the greatest meetings in the history of the ministry. Revival in Norway was a blowout with over 1000 people in the altar calls giving their heart to Christ! What an amazing experience it was. Thanks to all of you who prayed and stayed by the stuff! Many doors were opened to us throughout Europe with invitations to Latvia and Russia, to name a few. We sowed a first fruits seed into Norway believing that God will bring us great harvest there and at home.

We should be receiving the video footage of the meetings and hope to make it available to our families and partners. To see the hunger of the people for their nations is just overwhelming. May God cause that same hunger to arise here in America that we might see a great outpouring like never before. It is the only thing that will change this great nation!

Oh, by the way, email us with any prayer requests or praise reports that you might have. We would love to hear from you. Our email address is worshipworksmin@aol.com. Will talk soon! Ps Joe and Becky

Last night’s service was a blowout with many people breaking through in worship to a higher realm of God’s Glory. It was captured live here in Norway and on satellite around the world. I truly hope those of you with satellite will check out their websites for their uplink addresses and witness what God is doing!We will be sending some pictures for those who don’t have satellite so keep checking this site for further updates. Church family, we love you. Heard you had a wonderful weekend. Keep praying for us! Remember, the reward is the same for those who stay by the stuff! Love to all, Joe and Becky

This past school year was a banner year for ACA and enrollment is jumping for 2008/2009. Ps Stan and Kym and their faculty have done an excellent job teaching, training, and imparting academic excellence and leadership to the ACA students and it has really paid off. Also, we want to acknowledge our ACA parents. You won’t find a more dedicated group of parents whose generosity is unsurpassed. Thank you guys! Without your constant support to the vision, we couldn’t do all we do. Finally, congratulations go to Senior graduate Josh Gantenbein, son of Rusty and Susan Gross. Josh plans to attend IFTA in the fall. For more information on 08/09 registration, check out www.austincityacademy.com
