MINISTRY REPORT
THANKS—to Holly Banke for helping INYOU with year-end taxes. What a relief!

NEW Ministry on Saturday Nights—For several years I have envisioned an evening of in-depth discipleship for those wanting to “go deeper” in to themselves and the truths of Scripture in regards to “the mystery of Christ INYOU” (Col. 1-27-28). That night began Saturday, January 28, 7:00-8:30 pm at our new house. (Eventually it will move to the ministry house.) This year we will be unveiling 12 dynamic truths the believer already possesses in Christ.
NEW Counseling Help—Having Kelli’s mother, Dr. Lyda Simmons, has been an added blessing for INYOU MINISTRIES. She recently retired from her practice as a Psychologist/Therapist and has really enhanced the ministry both as a counselor for several people and a sounding board for me.
