Michael Mason September 2018 Newsletter

Friends,                                                                                                                  

What a wonderful summer of revival meetings God gave me.  Revivals are not dead… where there are people willing to pray, seek God, and assemble together in anticipation of God’s presence and power…Revival is alive and well.    

I am a married man, as of September 1st.  And honored to live my life as the husband to Dawn.  I am as surprised as anyone at the favor God has shown me.  I don’t deserve his goodness, but I’ll take it and enjoy it.  We look forward to many years together as husband and wife. 

I will be going to El Salvador twice this fall. October 1-4 I will be helping lead a pastors conference. And December 3-8, I will be returning to help lead seminary training for pastors.  If you’re interested in helping support the ministries God has given me, here and abroad, pray and give as God leads you.  Thank you.

If you’d like to have me speak at your church event, I’m available for revival meetings, harvest days, retreats, conferences, or any thing you’re planning.

Michael Mason Ministries July 2018 Newsletter

Friends,                                                                                                                   

I am in the midst of a blessed and busy summer preaching schedule.  I have prayed for the Lord to keep me busy…and I am thankful for the open doors. I hope you’ll take a look at where I will be preaching in the next few weeks and come join me in one of the revival services.  And if you can’t come, remember me when you pray.  

September 1st will be here soon…That’s the day I will marry Dawn Wakefield.  I prayed for God to send me someone to love and someone who would love me.  God answered those prayers by sending me Dawn.  She is a blessing to my life.  She prays for me and with me.  She walks with the Lord and is eager to walk with me through doors the Lord will open in days to come.  While neither of us knows all that the future holds, we are taking a step of faith believing God will bless our marriage and our ministry together.  

A quick update on my dad… He is still in a nursing home facility.  His health is still declining.  He has had several mini-strokes this year and has suffered with pneumonia twice.  He sleeps most of the day and night. He still recognizes me most weeks when I visit but the conversations are brief.  He is 87.  I couldn’t have asked for a better dad…and I’ve never known a better man. Thanks for your prayers. 

I will be going to El Salvador twice more this fall.  In October I will be helping lead a pastors conference. And, in November, I will be returning to help lead seminary training for pastors.  Would you be interested in helping support the ministries God has given me here and abroad?  Pray about it and give as God leads you.  Thanks….

God Made A Junior

A tribute to Evangelist Junior Hill – by Michael Mason

The Lord Knew that people needed to hear about Jesus…

So, one day God made a Junior.

The Lord knew that people needed to be saved…

So, one day God made a Junior.

The Lord knew that young preachers needed a hero…

So, one day God made a Junior.

The Lord knew that people needed to laugh…

So, one day God made a Junior.

The Lord knew that people needed to be encouraged…

So, one day God made a Junior.

The Lord knew that people needed someone to look up to…

So, one day God made a Junior.

God made a Junior to preach the Word…

...that the Gospel might be heard.

God made a Junior to encourage and care…

...for everybody everywhere.

God made a Junior to make us smile…

...to help us go another mile.

God made a Junior one day…

...so lost people could hear and be saved.

Thank you Lord for making Junior Hill.  And when you did, you sure made this world a better place, and you made me a better man. Thank you God for Bro. Junior!

June 2018 Michael Mason Ministries Newsletter

Friends,                                                                                                                

What a great spring it has been. Two trips to El Salvador and a number of good revival days…so much good and so much God.  I am looking forward to the busy summer schedule ahead of me.  

It was only a year and a half ago that I wrote to you about the ending of my marriage.  It was sad news and Lord knows my heart was broken. I prayed many prayers last fall for God to send me someone to love and someone who would love me.  God answered those prayers by sending me Dawn Wakefield.  She is a blessing to my life.  She prays for me and with me.  She walks with the Lord and is eager to walk with me through doors the Lord will open in days to come.  I will marry her on September 1st.  Thank you for your continued prayers.  There will be more details in next month’s newsletter. 

Dawn is an amazing lady who is active in her church, leads a women's Bible study group in her home, and writes a blog to help communicate the message of God's grace and mercy.  If you're interested in learning a little more about her, you can find her blog at:  https://evenif.blog/blog/

I will be going to El Salvador twice more this fall.  In October I will be helping lead a pastors conference. And, in November, I will be returning to help lead seminary training for pastors.  Would you be interested in helping support the ministries God has given me here and abroad?  Pray about it and give as God leads you.  Thanks….

What Time Is It

Ecclesiastes 3:1

There is a time for everything….  

Do you ever feel you’re running out of time?  Do you ever wish you had more time? The Bible hints that time is like a vapor that soon vanishes, flowers that fade, and grass that withers.  

Whether or not we like to admit it, each of us is running out of time.  Our days are numbered.  In Job we read, “Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass…” While I can’t increase the quantity of my time, I can sure work on the quality of my time.  

Warren Buffet said, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”  What can I do with my time?  Plant a tree...invest time in someone else, encourage a friend, love the unlovable, forgive, show Christ’s love.  Do something that will outlive you.

One of these days when I’m older, when I have more time, when the children are older, when life isn’t so busy - One of these days I’m going to be a better husband, a better wife, a better father, a better mother, more loving, more kind.  One of these days.

What time is it?  It’s time to plant a tree.  Do something that’ll make a difference.  Time is short.

Michael Mason - May 2018 Newsletter

Friends,                                                                                                                   

It’s been a great spring so far.  Each week has been an adventure of preaching and seeing God work in the lives of people hungry to know Him, eager to be in His will, and anxious to be a part of His work.  I’ve had such freedom to preach.  While apathy and complacency are still prevalent in many churches, I am seeing sparks of revival that I haven’t seen in years. I am trusting God for an awakening, a stirring, a reviving  and that only He can send.  I hope you’ll pray with me… 

I am in El Salvador this month.  I’m teaching the subject, Sermon Development, to two groups of pastors in two different cities.  I am thankful for the opportunity. It is a work to which I believeI God has called me.  I will be going to El Salvador twice more this fall and, schedule permitting, I will also help lead a pastors conference in Guatemala this fall.   Would you be interested in helping me take this training to pastors in El Salvador?  Each trip, including the conference and airfare is approximately $2000.  Pray about it and then give as God leads you.  Thanks…. 

If you are interested in having me come speak at your church or church event I am available for revival meetings, harvest days, retreats, conferences, or any thing you may be planning where you need someone to present the Gospel message.
