In the last week of June 2009, the world mourns the loss of three iconic figures whose fame and reputations span three generations. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson all had their journey end in the same week. It seems their departures, though accurately timed, were tragic to our world.
While this news is heart-wrenching, it is symbolic of a broader message. It shows that destiny was written long before the last week in June 2009. We can be certain that their destiny to impact the world began to unfold and form in their childhood. Their lives are remarkable examples that show discovering purpose in the early years is key to maximizing opportunities of immeasurable value. Just as our Lord Jesus Christ at the tender age of 12 began his journey about the Father's business, we have the opportunity to help children discover who God created them to be.
At Ricardo Miller Children's Ministries, we have been given a tremendous mandate to help children discover their purpose and develop their potential. We realize that with the depth and vastness of this call, we cannot do it alone. We need the help of parents and children workers whom we will stand alongside in reaching the most fruitful harvest field. Not only are parents and children workers important, but you, our partners are one of the most vital parts of helping us reach and change the world through children.
In the month of June alone, we ministered to over 10,000 individuals and children across the United States. Your support helped us do that. The gifts you give each month help us reach many children, parents and children workers nationally and internationally. Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.
And coming this month, we have even more opportunities to spread the message of empowerment and hope through the gospel. Here is what we have coming up in the month of July:

We understand the current economic climate has caused many to make adjustments in how their finances are allocated. We would like to encourage you, however, to continue in your giving. This is not the hour to pull back, but to press forward…there is yet so much more ground to be covered, so many souls to be won to the Kingdom and so many children who need to hear about the love of God. What you are doing in partnership with RMCM is making an impact for generations to come and changing the life of a child eternally. We are seeking at least 100 consistent monthly partners to give at least $25 per month. Will you prayerfully consider joining with us a consistent monthly partner?
Thank you so much for your belief in and support of the ministry. You are helping change the world through children. May God continue to favor all the work of your hands and may you abound in blessings.
