IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT & Blessings to our FOJC Radio Remnant Family
As of Today – We are no longer able to reply to all Questions (even with our new Form)
The Lord wants us to focus on training tools, and quality content via our website, and video channels. As we walk in obedience to the Lords calling on our lives, we are no longer able to reply to all Questions (even with our new Form) as we have experienced, many of the Questions we receive have already been answered, either in our content on our website, offering a Page for Hot Topics/ FAQs, or in our teachings.
As a matter of fact as soon as I created the new form for Questions, the amount of Questions doubled, and that was a surprise for me (Sister Donna) as I created the Forms to help me sort through the thousands of emails we receive monthly. I have been struggling for several years trying to keep up with our growth and praying for help in many areas. However, we have Saved all of your Questions, and perhaps we may have some messages dedicated to answering the Questions that have never been answered. We will add more content as we see there is need for addressing various issues. For those of you who are regular listeners, we recently have added other guest speakers on our Sunday Night Live programs, including Traci Vinet (who also helps me in the office), Brett Graham, and Brian Reece who started some programs called “the Redneck History Channel”. Many of our listeners have commented how much they are enjoying their programs. I (Sister Donna) am also working on some programs as well, but not quite ready to air them yet.
We appreciate the offers of help from those of you who have offered to help, and are so thankful for the ones who have helped us, and to those who have continued to help us. We do not have any paid staff, but rely on volunteers. Recently we just reached the listener million mark on our Underground Church FOJC You Tube Channel. That is amazing for our humble efforts and lack of some the essential skills we need to accomplish what God has called us to do. However, it has become abundantly clear that Brother David and I are responsible for answering questions as there is no one, even with all our faithful followers who could span the number of years we have existed, and remember all the content of every message we ever presented, because we even cannot even remember every detail.
Since 1984 our ministry has worked diligently to teach biblical truth, and expose darkness whenever possible, offer books, CDs, DVDs, Tracts, and other printed materials to help set captives free. Seasons change and although the call on our lives has stayed the same, our ministry has grown so much more than we ever dreamed, and with that growth comes even more responsibility. We have provided years worth of tools for the flock to help others have doctrinally sound materials for their walk. These tools are still available to all who would seek to find. We appreciate every single person who listens to us, absorbs our content, and shares our links with others.
We are all told in God’s word that Each believer is to study to shew ourselves approved and this does not mean just ministry leaders as we are, but every child of God should do all they can do to learn the Doctrine of Christ and hide the word in our hearts.
2 John 1:9-12 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. (10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed: (11) For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds. (12) Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
Our Priorities
We are excited about the future and all the Lord is calling us into and to take this new leap of faith on our road home. We are much older now (David is 73 & I will be 75 in April), although most of our listeners tell us we do not look or sound like our age. We are very thankful for that, and even though we both have some ongoing physical issues, the Lord keeps us going, and our brains seem to function good most days, Praise God! We are sensing the need for us to prioritize all the facets of our ministry as we strive to edify, challenge, and encourage our readers and listeners. This has always been our priority and we must maintain our focus.
I (Sister Donna) still offer that help, but my time has become a rare commodity as I feel the call to do several things the Lord has called Me to do and I have been so tied up in doing the many physical needs of our ministry that I have been hindered in accomplishing those things the Lord has told me I need to do. I have spent many hours in prayer seeking the Father for direction and I feel today He gave me the answer by giving me permission to stop trying to keep up with all the emails we have accumulated. I have a return email for anyone who contacts explaining how far behind I have gotten when I was too sick to work in the office.
Those (1,000+) emails are always on my mind and I have said a constant prayer for the Lord to help me with what I should do first. I have saved them all and have tried to answer all the Prayer Requests personally, pass them on to our Prayer Team, and mention some of them on our Friday night messages. And as some of you know after months of trying several different methods to get our “New” Remnant Locations Page in order that is easy to read and edit, and make it easier to find listeners in your area, the Lord finally told me how to do it. It is important that we try to get our listeners in contact with others in their area for fellowship and bible study as we see the time of the Lord’s return growing closer and closer.
Hebrews 10:22-25 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. (23) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) (24) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: (25) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
We previously tried to return every call that comes in to our ministry and pray and/or pray with any listener when we have the time needed to do so. However, that has also become Impossible as the minute our home phone is plugged in, it starts to ring. We would never get anything else done if we are constantly answering the phone. We do keep a record of all who call and try to return calls when possible. We do not have any special prayers that have power, but we know the Lord wants all of you to pray using the words from your heart. My heart is always compassionate to all the survivors of abuse, but we do not have time to do individual deliverance sessions with all who call. We offer several resources and pages on our Website for all who have those issues if they would take their time and use it wisely putting some effort into their own healing. The Lord told me a long time ago that part of my job is to give Hope to those who contacts us. I pray that I have done so.
Thank You for taking the time to examine all we offer on our Website we are seeking the Lord to learn what we should add or what we need to change. We pray that each person who visits our Website or listens to our messages will seek the Lord and allow Him to direct their steps and learn the truths we have to offer them, and share those truths with this world that badly needs guidance and direction towards an eternity with our Wonderful Lord.
As our ministry grows, so do the financial needs grow as we need to add more sound equipment, computer programs, and study books for our library. We have never begged for money, but we do need some funds to pay for reprinting of our books, office supplies, postage and packaging, and also enabling local listeners help when needed. We have never made money an issue for receiving resource materials and many resources on our Website are offered completely free. There are some other ministry needs listed on our Love Gifts Page along with several ways to send your love Gifts. Thank you again for your spiritual and financial support and encouragement, and for giving us grace in this new season of our walk. We love our listeners and appreciate all of You.
Your Servants in Christ,
Brother David and Sister Donna Carrico
