Legacy Letter October 2011

IN THIS LETTER: PROPHECY● CHINA, RUSSIA ● KING OF THE NORTH ● KING OF THE SOUTH – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Prophecy marches on. The world continues on a toboggan slide toward selfdestruction, even if our interpretations about events in world news do not turn out the way we expect. For instance, we know from Daniel 11 that we are to look for a rising power from the geographic area of Egypt…

16 April 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, This year Legacy helped sponsor three Passover ceremonies in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). Two took place in Myanmar and one in Thailand. It has been our usual practice to travel to Myanmar for the Spring Festivals; but this year, Gloria and I needed to stay in Thailand to take care of our local Chiang Mai brethren.

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, At Legacy Foundation Leadership Training Center here in Chiang Mai, we just completed a very special project. Four young ladies were sent by the Royal Palace to participate in an intensive English training program for six weeks. All four work at Queen Sirikit’s SUPPORT Foundation museum displaying the “Arts of the Kingdom.” This museum is housed in the royal Ananta Samakom Throne Hall, part of the royal complex in Bangkok. They have already graduated with degrees from Kasetsart University in Bangkok and have had some English training. The intensive English language curriculum was designed by our volunteer teacher Julia Stewart, who also taught the classes. Julia herself took part in an intensive crash course and received a TESOL (teach English to speakers of other languages) certificate from Cornerstone University. The young ladies not only had classroom instruction, but participated in real life experience as well by going out into the public and practicing English with Western tourists. They also took part in other classes taught at Legacy (Advanced English, Public Speaking, Sports, and even Sabbath services). The aim was to boost their conversational skills as well as their confidence.

16 June 2016, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Baal worship is coming back to modern day Israel. In ancient Israel, Baal was a replacement for Yahweh, the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It wasn’t that Yahweh disappeared from the culture of Israel; it was that Baal was worshiped as provider and sustainer instead of Yahweh. Baal was considered more powerful and became the supreme deity of the Canaanites and ultimately, Israel. Some ancient texts show that Baal wanted to overcome the Creator El and become king of the gods. Sound familiar?
