1. Godly Christian Ministries Updates
Some of you are getting this newsletter for the first time after
signing up for it a couple months ago, but I hope that you all will
find it useful and that it will aid you in praying for this ministry.
What a year this has been for GCM! So much has gone on behind the
scenes, but the biggest thing that you have come to see is the amount
of music that has been added to www.GodlyChristianMusic.com. This
site has tripled in size in less than a year and a half. Even in the
month of December several new artist and many new songs got added to
the site. Before the year finished GodlyChristianMusic.com broke
1,500 songs on the site. The size of the site has not been the only
amazing thing. Over the course of the last year Google has been
changing its search algorithms and it has proved beneficial to
GodlyChristianMusic.com in that it has been hanging right at the top
of popular searches such as “free Christian music” and “free Christian
Songs”. This page ranking has brought in tens of thousands of
visitors every month and has significantly increased the amount of
music being downloaded. The increased load overwhelmed the site’s
previous hosting company and it was forced to be placed on a much more
robust high end server. This nicer server has had the power to
accommodate some of the many features that were added to the site this
last year including the download all link, play all link, and music
juke box. Overall, 2011 was a big year for GodlyChristianMusic.com
and the site should continue to be a blessing to many in 2012.
This year has also been a big step forward for www.GodlyChristianMinistries.com.
Several new articles have been written and other new content has been
added. Just within the last couple days, I posted two new articles as
well. One article is entitled “Understanding the Gospel”. This
Article lays out the foundational principles of repentance, faith, and
love as they work together to transform us. It is loaded with
illuminating analogies that will undoubtedly bring insights in the
Gospel that even seasoned Christian’s will benefit from (though it is
written simply enough for new converts). In addition, another article
was written to help people to understand where true assurance comes
from. Some people try to find assurance based on a doctrine and
others based on works, but the bible points us to another way. By
reading this article you will learn how to find the deep peace that
you are a child of God. Both of these articles can be easily found by
going to http://www.godlychristianministries.com/cm/index.php?option=com_fjrelated&view=fjrelated&layout=blog&id=0&Itemid=80
Godly Christian Ministries is pressing into the new year with hope and
excitement to see what the Lord will do with this work! (to learn why
the news updates have not been sent out regularly please read the
prayer request section below).

2. New Audio Books
Four new audio books have been added to GodlyChristianMinistries.com.
These books were professionally recorded and provided courtesy of
ForsakeAll.com. All of the books were written by an older brother
named Zac Poonen. For those not familiar with Zac, he is from India
and travels around teaching people how to overcome bondages in their
life and how to walk in fellowship with God. Zac has many great
illustrations that are insightful both for the new believer and the
mature. You can find these audio books by going to the following

--------------------------------------------------
3. Godly Christian Music - Updates
In the past, I would post the number of updates per musician since the
last newsletter, but due to the sheer number of new songs and
musicians, I will encourage you to simply go to:
http://www.godlychristianmusic.com/New_Updates_Artists.aspx
Nevertheless, I did want to specifically inform you that the featured
songs list and featured artists list on the home page just got
updated. Many of the songs that are featured were recently added to
the site within the last month. Listening to the new featured songs
will help you find some of the best music that has recently been
added.
--------------------------------------------------
4. Prayer Requests
This last season has been one of the busiest for me in a long time and
doesn’t look like it is going to slow down any time soon. I am
currently in the transition of starting my own business doing
photography, graphic design, and web development
(www.FinestStudios.net). At the present time, I am supporting myself
by working the night shift at a children’s home. Most of my time and
money has been going toward making the necessary investments to get
the business going. I am guessing it will take me about a year to get
all the photography equipment and become stable. As a result, my time
has been and will likely continue to be severely limited. It is a
constant struggle to find the balance between work/business and
serving through GCM. My goal is that eventually the business will be
able to support me and yet, still provide me with time to continue the
work through GCM. Please pray for me as I try to juggle a lot of
things in life.
