Welcome to 2024!
I hope that everyone reading our newsletter possesses an enduring hope for 2024 and all which the Lord has done and is about to do. He remains enduringly faithful to His own. To those who are fearful, may the Lord encourage you with these words:
Fear not, for I am with you,
be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you.
Surely I will help you.
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
Adonai gave these words to the prophet Isaiah for the nation named after Israel (Jacob), descendent of Abraham, His friend. They are words of encouragement given by a God who deeply loves them.
He loves you too and offers these same words to us. He assures us of His help and strength, “upholding you with His (My) right hand.”
The book of Isaiah is rich with prophetic insight into the promise of a Messiah. The Messiah which I hope you all know intimately.
First Place Ministries will be launching the New Year with a study beginning in the book of Isaiah. I hope you will engage with us in the study of Isaiah. If you are not a subscriber to our Choose Life study series, I hope you will go to www.firstplaceministries.com and subscribe. Then, please consider uploading our Choose Life app available for free at your playstore.
I hope you will choose to study Isaiah along with us beginning today, January 1, 2024.
Happy New Year!

Spotlight: Pastor Todd of New and Living Way Church (NLWC), Kelso WA
Todd is a friend who has founded and pastored NLWC for twelve years. I have participated in his ministry attending their men’s weekly gathering and teaching music to elementary aged children in their Academy. Todd has a heart for shepherding the faith community of NLWC as you will hear in this month’s vlog.
