Join Us For Pentecost Sunday
We are in one of the most important spiritual seasons that we encounter each year: The 50 days between Passover and Pentecost.
Did you realize that the gestation period after a woman conceives a child until the child is recognized as a fetus and their identity as a human is imparted is 50 days? Pentecost is like this: We transition from the redemption of Passover into the new identity of fresh revelation, new fruit and spiritual manifestation that comes with Pentecost.
I want to encourage you during these next 50 days to process the revelation that the Lord is speaking to you about. Get ready, because Pentecost Sunday will be a very powerful time when we are renewed and refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Please make plans to join us on Sunday, May 28 at 11 a.m. and we encounter the Holy Spirit during our Pentecost service.

Project 58: The Basics of What Happens Each Month
By: Yvette Lovvorn, Project 58 Coordinator
Project 58 is based on the scripture Isaiah 58: 7-10, which commands we share our food with the hungry and provide shelter and clothing for the poor and needy. At Project 58 (P58) we strive to live this out in part through our partnership with Operation Blessing and the local community through our food distribution program. Additionally, with your donations of clothing to Esther House and donations of hygiene products to Project 58, we will strive to meet a broader set of needs.
We encourage individuals to donate $40 towards a pallet of food which includes a minimum of fifteen cases.
These donations are typically picked-up by the donor. Clients use part or all of the pallet to help extend their personal food pantry, or to share with family members or other food pantries. Other clients opt to leave their pallet at P58 for distribution to individuals who walk in presenting a need.
When someone comes to P58 identifying that they have a need, the only questions we ask are how many people are in the household. We do not ask for identification and only gather additional information so that we might pray for the family or direct them to other resources in the area.
In addition to food, when available, we also offer adult diapers, Depends, feminine hygiene products, children’s diapers and pull-ups at no cost. This is all a part of the Operation Blessing Truck load we purchase monthly. We never know exactly what we are getting from Operation Blessing until the truck arrives.
We minister to and share available resources with a wide variety of people, freely sharing with families struggling in the current economy, individuals going through recovery, graduates from recovery and homeless individuals. Additionally, we share our excess with 2-3 churches that do a local distribution in their area, and we make a sizable monthly donation of food to the inmates of Calhoun County Jail.
We encourage volunteers to participate on the days we set up pallets, and when clients pick up the pallets by loading the client’s vehicles and praying for the needs that are presented.
You can be the difference. Give to help transform lives.
Your gift of funds, time and prayers all make an impact. Donations can be made to P58 by selecting “Pray Fast Give” online at: Give Now – Word Alive International Outreach
Passover: An Appointed Time of the Lord
Passover is a historical event that commemorates Israel’s departure from Egypt after more than 400 years of slavery. It’s also one of the three “Appointed Times of the Lord.” Deuteronomy records that God’s people were instructed to gather together before him three times a year—during the feasts of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles—and they were promised to leave with a blessing.
In Genesis 1:14 God said he set the stars, the sun and the moon in place as moadim, or appointed times. If we come before the Lord with the right heart and the right attitude, we will gain a spiritual momentum that will literally cause us to “pass over” anything that is hindering us from fulfilling our God-given purpose and destiny.
This is the time of year when we break out of old cycles and break into new ones. It is the season of redemption. Jesus is our Passover lamb, and that is why we celebrate the feast of Passover. We hope you will join us for our Passover Sunday Service on April 17 at 11 a.m. CST.
