I would like to take this time to give you a report on our ministry.  It has been a full year since our last issue was published.  Much has happened since then, and I can only share the highlights with you.

In July of 2003, I moved my residence from Macomb Township, Michigan.  As many of you know, our Ministry has two chapters, one in Ohio, the other in Michigan.  It was always my plan and desire to move back to Ohio, and commute to our ministry here in Michigan.  Since we began as a school of ministry, I felt we would raise up other ministers to preach and teach, also, and I could have help with the duties of ministry.  In the ten years I have been in Detroit, I have seen many people come and go in our meetings.  Some have stayed, responding to the call as watchmen, and some have responded to the call to preach as five-fold ministers.  We have made a great deal of progress over the fifteen-year history of this ministry, and I feel that the greatest years still await us.

My move to Ohio has made it possible for me to build a storage and garage facility for our vehicles.  This 2,400 square foot building is located on the three-acre property that contains my residence, also.  It is convenient to the turnpike and allows me to be in Michigan in less than two hours, yet it is close enough for me to minister at the Cleveland meeting on the Sundays after empowerment meeting. I praise God for the wonderful home He has given me.  This home also includes a 325 sq. ft. sanctuary, “the bonus room” in which worship music and the Word are played 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.  We now have a retreat in my home where the Spirit of God dwells continually.  We use it for prayer, meditation, and healing.  Many friends and members of the ministry have visited and been healed or given their answers to prayer while there.

Our music ministry continues.  We have recorded several CD's, both live at our conferences and in the Unity Universe Music Studios.  Our latest CD, “Wonderful” is a studio recording featuring “Big Tone.”  In the works is another CD by the UC Prophets called “Rhyme Time.”  We look forward to using all the gifts that God sends to us.  All of our artists have dedicated themselves to the service of the Lord, and God has opened the door for them to learn ministry.  We look forward to hearing more from our artists during the coming year.

Our line of greeting cards was begun almost two years ago.  If you get an opportunity, please come to any of our meetings, or conferences and see the complete line of greeting cards we have on display.  These are inspirational cards inspired by the Word of God.  We have birthday, Mothers' and Fathers' Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, healing and encouragement cards.  Our books, teaching tapes and CD's and videotapes are still available.  We recently revised our Master Prayer Manual, and it is available.  We have a large selection of healing materials as well.  All of our products are available at the internet bookstore, also.  You may log on at www.ministryofthewatchman.com.

 We plan several gospel skate night gatherings in Cleveland.  If you live in the Cleveland area, please bring your young people out for these events.  We have the UC Prophets and Big Tone, Brother Stone of Unity Universe Music and various recording artists.  Cephas Supreme of WOBC (Oberlin College radio) is also there to DJ these fun, but Spirit-filled events.  Many young people have given their hearts to the Lord while at these events.  God is using every means possible to get the gospel out.  Come out with us sometime and see the power of God move to win the lost.

 Lastly, we are pleased to announce that we will be having our ninth annual Power and Glory of God Conference in Cleveland, Ohio August 19-22, 2004 and The Holiday Inn, 28600 Ridgehills Drive in Wickliffe, Ohio.  Please join us for Four Days of Signs, Wonders, Miracles and Mighty Deeds.  Our guest ministers will include Rev. David Horton of Tulsa OK.  Rev. Horton has a very powerful healing ministry.  He worked for Norvel Hayes as his driver when he was first called to ministry.  David does crusades all over the world, and had the privilege of leading James Brown (the entertainer) and his wife to Christ over ten years ago.  A few months later, his wife died following surgery.  Rev. Horton is a man of unshakable faith and his ministry has signs following.  We are pleased and excited to have Rev. Keith Staten as our worship leader.  We will record the praise and worship live every night, so please come early to assure that you will have a good seat.  As always, there is no registration or charge for these meetings, they are free and open to the public.

For those of you who a wondering, I would like to say that our work will continue in both Detroit and Cleveland.  We are looking for a building in Cleveland to house our ministry and meetings, and are temporarily located in the Holiday Inn in Wickliffe, (28600 Ridgehills Dr.). In Detroit we are located in Eastpointe, at 15570 Toepfer.  If you desire, please refer to the back page of this newsletter, for specific times and locations of all of our meetings and conferences.  Until we meet again,
