In Philippians 1:12, Paul talks about the “…the
furtherance of the Gospel.” The word furtherance simply
means “pioneer advance.” The pioneers of old went into
new territories and opened the way for others. Since it
was a long journey with many challenges, they had to
know what to take and what to leave behind. The main
rule on every wagon trail was to keep moving. In
Philippians 1:25, Paul also said that he would continue
laboring for the Lord “…for your furtherance and joy of
faith.”
It is our joy to help you in your pioneer advance of joy
and faith. Trina and I continue to strive to carry the
glory of God to believers around the world. Through the
Word of God and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
churches, ministers, missionaries, and individuals are
being edified, equipped, and strengthened to fulfill the
call of God on their lives. We believe you are moving
forward and enjoying new scenery.
The Lord is continuing to open more and more doors of
opportunity to share the gospel. The demands of the
ministry have intensified greatly. With our travel
schedule becoming more extensive, the pastoral office of
our church has been placed upon the shoulders of our
son, Pastor Aaron Hankins. He and his wife, Errin, are
doing a great job leading Christian Worship Center.
Like never before we are crossing the nation and
traveling to Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South
America with the message of faith and who the believer
is in Christ. Therefore, the time has come for us to
move forward from the Cessna 421 to a Citation Jet. This
move forward will enable us to continue declaring the
Gospel to more people, in more places, in less time.
The Citation Jet will greatly increase our capacity to
minister. The jet will actually double the speed,
distance, and altitude. For instance, the Cessna 421 is
greatly hindered by bad weather. However the Citation
Jet will cruise at an altitude of 43,000 feet, allowing
us to fly over and avoid bad weather. The Citation Jet
also has a 1,300 mile range which allows us to travel
much further than the Cessna 421 without stopping.
Another benefit is the Citation Jet’s air speed of 400
miles per hour, double the airspeed of the Cessna 421.
As you can clearly see, a jet will enable us to minister
the gospel much more efficiently, carrying the glory of
God to as many places as God would send us. We continue
to thank God for this double blessing! I believe there
is also a double portion of joy, anointing, and
prosperity breaking out on our partners. (Isaiah 61:7-9)
The cost of the Citation Jet is $1.2 million. We would
like to invite you to join the Spirit of Faith Pioneer
Advance Team. We are believing God for 1,200 partners to
join the Pioneer Advance Team by sowing a seed of $1,000
or more towards purchasing this jet. If you cannot sow
the entire amount at this time, your faithful gift of
$100 a month for the next 10 months will help greatly.
Each member of the Pioneer Advance Team will receive a
special hardback edition of my newly revised and
expanded book, The Spirit of Faith. You will also
receive 10 of my classic messages that I believe will
enable you to break through barriers into new blessings.
God has truly blessed us with the greatest partners in
the world! You have always been so kind and generous
with the ministry. As God opens these new doors for us,
we believe God is also opening doors for you and your
future. Thank you for carrying the glory with us.
Together we are making a difference in our
generation.
In Christ,
Mark and Trina
