Prayer for
Salvation
For those of you who don’t know
Jesus, would you like to know
Him? All you need to do is pray
the prayer below with a sincere
and trusting heart, and you will be
born again.
Dear God in Heaven, I come
to you in the name of Jesus to
receive salvation and eternal life.
I believe that Jesus is Your Son. I
believe that He died on the cross
for my sins and that you raised
Him from the dead. I receive Jesus
now into my heart and make Him
the Lord of my life. Jesus, come
into my heart. I welcome you as
my Lord and Savior.
Father, I believe Your Word says
that I am now saved. I confess
with my mouth that I am saved
and born again. I am now a child
of God.

I recently heard a story from a veteran who said that
during World War II if an unidentified soldier appeared
suddenly in the dark and could not state his mission, he
was automatically shot without question! Wow! Can you
imagine if that were the case of every one of us?
I would imagine if we were faced with a life or death need
to know our mission, we would be forced to discover
it. Mission is defined as “a specific task that a person or
group of persons is sent to perform; a responsibility, a
calling”.
The most powerful and influential leader of all time
communicated His mission in one sentence: “I came that
they might have life, and have it more abundantly.” - Jesus
Every activity He engaged in revolved around that
mission. Whether it was teaching by the sea, playing with
children, or turning water into wine, He stayed true to
His mission. In the story of those persecuting the woman
caught in adultery, He addressed them with words of His
mission being “not to condemn but to give life”.
A few years ago, I met with my dad to discuss the mission
of Jerry Savelle Ministries. I asked him to tell me in one
word what he felt compelled to do before going to heaven.
Without hesitation, he answered, “Disciple!”
Dad has always had a strong desire to not only lead people
to Christ, but to disciple them in how to LIVE by faith,
how to know God intimately and how to fulfill their
mission here on earth. He learned back in 1969 that it was
only through a consistent relationship with God and time
in the Word that his life would radically change. This
‘life change’ would not be the result of one encounter at
the altar. So, his question was, “What next?” “How do I
understand the Bible?” “How do I know what God wants
me to do?”
Those questions are what led his desire to teach others
what God has taught him. How to live by faith, how
to apply the Bible to your daily life, how to confidently
pursue God’s plan for your life. That’s what the Jerry
Savelle Bible School is all about!
“If a man for whatever reason has the opportunity to lead
an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.”
- Jacques-Yves Cousteau
I love that quote because when my dad surrendered his
life to the Lord in 1969, he said, “Lord, I’m a failure. I’m
a nobody.” And He clearly heard the Lord say, “Don’t
worry about it, son. I am a master at making champions
out of nobodies!”
Currently, we are discipling champions in 23 nations
around the world from Argentina to Zambia. College
students, stay-at-home mom’s, African pastors, church
leaders and full time employees are discovering their
God-given mission no matter their age, their geographical
location, background or past experiences.
If you are at that place my dad was at years ago, asking
the question, “What next, Lord? What is my mission?”
the Jerry Savelle Bible School will teach you to hear from
God, understand His word and take the steps necessary to
walk out your purpose.
“I truly have grown in my faith…I owe it to your
teachings and school.” - B.T.
For free information on how to begin this life changing
course, simply call 817-297-3155 or logon to
school.jerrysavelle.org. Now with the school also available
online, you can get started today!
Thank you, partners and friends, for helping us disciple
4,537 graduates from our schools around the world. You
are fulfilling your mission within ours!
Thank you from our hearts!
We love you, Partners! Thank you for believing in us!

“What is your
personal mission?”

There was a time when the
boundaries in my life squeezed so
tight that they felt like a noose
around my neck. I was failing at everything. My
business was failing. My marriage was failing. My finances
were failing. I was so tired of failure that I couldn’t take it any
more. I knew that if I didn’t get the limitations out of my life,
I would never succeed.
I was sick like the world. I was broke like the world. I was
depressed like the world. My life was ordinary and I had no
hope of anything better because I was confined to the world’s
way of thinking. I grew weary of just existing. I grew tired of
religion and developed a hunger for God.
When my desperation for change reached its peak, I closed
my paint and body shop and went into in a little spare bedroom
with the Bible. For the next three months I spent hours each
day reading and studying the Word of God. I treated my time
learning the Word like it was a full time job. The Word was
that vital to me. I knew it was the difference between success
and failure in my life. During that time, I realized that God
wasn’t the one limiting me. The real shocker came when I
discovered that the primary culprit in my own life was me. The
longer I delved into the Word of God, the more I realized that
not only had the Lord not put restrictions and limitations on
Live An
Extraordinary
LIFE

me, He’d gone to the cross to remove the very ones I was
tolerating. I discovered that my failure was a product of how
I’d been raised and the habits I’d formed since. My own
words, thoughts and behavior patterns were keeping me from
being a winner.
Now, you’ve got to understand that at this point nothing had
changed in the natural. After I finished praying and studying
the Word, I had the same debts. My life was still a dismal
downward spiral of failure. But everything was changing on
the inside of me. I was changing from the inside out. My
thoughts were being renewed. My heart was being renewed.
On the inside, everything that made me Jerry Savelle was
changing because I was being renewed by the Word of God.
You have to change on the inside before anything will ever
change on the outside. But once you begin to change on the
inside, it won’t be long before you’ll be able to see changes on
the outside. The more the Word grew on the inside of me,
the more perfected the image of winning and becoming an
overcomer grew and the more I saw outward manifestations
of that inward change.
FIRE IN MY EYES
At the end of those three months, I came out of that
bedroom a new man. I had the fire of God in my eyes, the
Word of God in my heart and the power of God in my hands.
The favor of God manifested in my life every day. God’s
blessings followed me wherever I went.
When I dove into the depths of the Word of God, I
discovered that I wasn’t defined by this world. That’s when I
started breaking loose from the world’s system. Now, it didn’t
happen in a week. It didn’t happen in a month. But radical
changes were occurring in my life. I’ll be honest, people
thought I was crazy. However, it didn’t take long before those
same people were calling me when they needed help.
I still remember the way it felt when the boundaries in my
life tightened into a noose. However, I have a more vivid
memory of the day Carolyn and I walked into a car dealership
and paid cash for a new car. Another hall-of-fame memory
was the day we finally lived in a debt-free house. We’d broken
through the boundary of lack in our lives! The day we paid
cash for a car for someone else is a day that’s forever freeze-
framed in my memory. The world can’t even fathom doing
these things, but without boundaries, they should be everyday
occurrences for believers.
I broke through the fences Satan had erected in my life. I
broke through the boundaries the world called normal and
learned to live an extraordinary life. As wonderful as that is,
let me give you the sobering news. I wasn’t the only one who
heard the messages that drove me to the Word. Hundreds
of other people heard the same Word, but they didn’t apply
it. Everyone who heard that Word could have dove into the
Bible for themselves and come out changed. They heard the
Word but they didn’t act on it and apply it. Those people
had the same opportunity that I had, but they chose to go on
living within the world’s boundaries.
Knowing these principles is crucial in breaking through the
boundaries in your life. But if you don’t apply them, nothing
will change. When you apply them, you’ll break free from
the boundaries of poverty, sickness and every form of defeat
and failure. The Word of God will separate you into a higher
form of reality than the world knows.
THE FIRST STEP
You might be asking, “Okay, Brother Jerry, how do I get rid
of these limitations and break those boundaries? I’ve heard
those things all my life. I just thought that’s the way it was.”
The answer is the Word of God. The Word is the only thing
that can break the boundaries and limits in your life.
The most important first step in breaking through your
boundaries is letting the Word of God change you from the
inside out. You must discover who you are in the Word of
God, what you can do through the Word of God, and for you
to really understand that you have a covenant with Almighty
God. Once you do that, your life will forever be changed—
just like mine was. I want you to know that something is going
to happen on the inside of you. And let me tell you, it’s the
beginning of the end for the boundaries and limits that have
held you captive.
When Jesus was about to go to the cross, He didn’t want to
leave until He knew His disciples understood the importance
of the Word. In John, chapter 17, He said, “I have given them
thy word,” (v. 14). In the mind of Jesus the most important
thing that He could
leave with His followers
was the Word of God.
In the world today it’s
easy to take the Word for
granted. We have such
easy access to it. You can
buy a Bible at just about
any bookstore. You can
download it as an app
on your Iphone. You
can upload one to your
computer. We have the
Bible on CDs. You can
buy sermons online. You
have access to the Word like never before. But do you apply
it to your life?
The Word was so important to Jesus that before He finished
His mission, He was able to say to His Father, “If there is one
thing I have done, I have given them Your word.”
Why was it so important that Jesus let His Father know
that He had given the disciples His word? Because the Word,

should be what

and the power of the Word, is what separates you from the
world. “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated
them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not
of the world.” Jesus’ followers were no more of this world
than He was. Are you a follower of Jesus today? If so, He was
talking about you just as much as He was talking about His
original followers.
I’m in the world, but I’m not of it, and neither are you.
That’s what makes the difference. If you’re still of it, then
you’ve got problems.
If you’re still trying to hang onto some of your past or
things that are worldly, you won’t be victorious. Everyone
faces trials, but you shouldn’t react like normal people do.
You’re not normal. You’re not supposed to react like everyone
else. You shouldn’t think like them. You shouldn’t talk like
them. You shouldn’t act like them. You shouldn’t live like
them.
Your first thought in a trial should be what does the Word
say about this—not what does the world say. You’re not
restricted or confined by the same things they are because
you are not ordinary like the world.
SET APART
John 17:17 says, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy
word is truth.”
The word sanctify simply means to set apart or to separate.
Jerry Savelle
New Book
from
Jerry Savelle
Why settle for the ordinary, when
you can have the Extraordinary?
No Boundaries
Sadly, many Christians are living beneath their privileges as
children in God’s family. In this powerful and needed book,
Jerry Savelle reveals the unseen limits that have been holding
you back from the life you are destined for.
You will discover:
• How to recognize boundaries
• What makes you different from a limited world
• What causes boundaries and where they come from
• Proven keys to living a life free of negative boundaries
You have been created to live life more abundantly. Now is the
time to dream bigger, go further, and receive more of God’s
blessings than ever before.

This is how we should function in the world today—set
apart. But the key to living life set apart from the world is to
know the Word. The reason so many Christians are failing
today is because they don’t truly know the Word. Don’t get
me wrong, it may be in their head, but it’s not in their heart.
Why? Because they haven’t put a strong enough emphasis on
the importance of God’s Word. Reading your Bible once a
week is not enough. You’ll never be extraordinary until you
place as much importance on the Word as you do your next
meal. Hunger after the Word, and it will change you. Make
it a priority over your favorite television show and see what
God will do for you. Knowing the Word is the only way to be
the overcomer that God has called you to be.
God separates you from what’s going on in this world
through the Word. If you don’t
know the Word, you’ll be in
the same boat as the rest of
the world. When the flu comes
around, you’ll get it. When they
are laying off people at your job,
you will start packing. But that
isn’t how God intended for you
to live.
THE REAL TRUTH
The last part of John 17:17 says, “…thy word is truth.” The
word truth is defined as the highest form of reality that exists.
This means that there are other forms of reality, but God’s
Word is the highest form of reality.
The world is just reporting what they see happening out
there. It’s factual. It’s real, but it’s not the highest form of
reality. The highest form of reality is the Word of God. God’s
Word doesn’t make any sense to the natural, carnal mind. But
since it is the highest form of reality that exists, and every
other word is a lower form of reality, then the lower form
must bow to the higher form. The lower form of reality has
to bow to the Word every time.
I pray that this truth and the importance of the Word
becomes a revelation to you. When it does, nothing can stop
you from being extraordinary. It won’t matter what’s going
on in the world because you will be able to maintain your joy,
your focus, and your faith. You’ll know that God is going to
come through for you—no matter what the world, or your
circumstances say. When this becomes a revelation to you,
it will forever change you. You’ll be confident because you’ll
know that God will see you through because it’s His word
that separates you from all the other junk that’s going on out
there.
ALL THE WRONG PLACES
Your problems may be so big that you think, “Maybe the
government can help me. They owe me. I deserve a little bit
of help.” Let me tell you, if you’re looking to the government
for answers or to pay your bills, you’re in trouble. They
don’t have the answers. The Word does. Get in the Word for
yourself. You can’t be lazy and extraordinary at the same time.
The answer to your situation is in the Word, find out what
it says and dare to believe it. If you’re willing to do that then
you will soon discover that God will back it every time.
You don’t just hope that you can go from ordinary to
extraordinary. You have to live it on purpose. This is
deliberate. God set it up that way. He put the ball in your
court. God sees you blessed, highly favored, and living life
better than you ever imagined. That is His plan for you. Do
you see it that way? Are you committed to living that life? If
so, then the Word has to be final authority in your life.
The Bible tells us in Proverbs
15:30, “Good news nourishes the
bones,” (Amplified). The Word
will build you up, maintain you,
and support you when everything
else fails. When I walk away
from my time in the Word, I feel
good. I’m encouraged. I feel like I
could take on the world. I have an
assurance that God is about to do something good. When I
walk away from the Word, I know I can live the extraordinary
life. And God is no respecter of persons. If I can do this, so
can you. Remove the limitations in your mind and replace
them with a promise in the Word.
BOTTOM LINE
If you want to take the limits off of your life, you’re going
to have to do more than is required, go the extra mile, and
exceed what others might be willing to do. That’s how you
experience the extraordinary life. What’s the principle here?
If you want to live this kind of life, you’ve got to be willing
to do what ordinary people are not willing to do. What do
I mean by that? You have to do more than is required: You
might be thinking, “How much time do I have to spend in
the Word every day? How much time do I need to pray? How
much do I need to sow?” Let me answer those questions with
one of my own.
Do you want a mediocre life or do you want the
extraordinary?
The extraordinary person doesn’t look for just what is
required. They’re willing to do more than is required.
They’re willing to go the extra mile. They’re willing to
exceed what others are willing to do. As a result, they have
put into motion the law of cause and effect. Their action is
about to produce for them an equal reaction. If you become
extraordinary in the way you approach the Word, your walk
with God, and your Christianity, then you will be rewarded
with the extraordinary instead of the ordinary. - AIF

I never expected Bike Week to
change us, but that is exactly

wonderful, but the best part was
experiencing what Jesus meant when
he said, “I will make you fishers

I recently received a report revealing that my #1 viewed podcast series is
“Breaking Soul Ties”. Based on the emails I receive and letters I read, many
people are locked in relationships that they know they shouldn’t be in . . . but
don’t know how to get out. I dedicated an entire chapter on this subject in
my new book, Make Your Dreams Bigger than Your Memories, because it is
a big reason why many people are not letting go of their past. Some people
can never fully move on or may find themselves “stuck” because they have not
severed relationships with particular people that God wants them to sever.
Breaking
SOUL
Ties
By Terri Savelle Foy
Terri Savelle Foy

erhaps you still dream about or long for someone
that you were never able to release from your
spirit, even though it’s been years. Perhaps you are
currently in an unhealthy relationship you know
you should get out of. Or you try to leave the situation
but always end up returning to it. Maybe you have been
in an intimate relationship with someone and although
you know it’s wrong and you want to please God, you
simply cannot resist the desire to stay involved with them.
Perhaps you are tormented with thoughts about someone
in your mind. You have soul ties.
Your soul is made up of your mind, your will and your
emotions; it is your inner life. A soul tie is an emotional
connection or a bond with another that unites you. Soul
ties are not necessarily bad. After all, God created them.
They can be good if it’s something that God wants for
your life. As a matter of fact, in Matthew 18:19, Jesus says,
“If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing
that they shall ask, it shall be done for them”. When two
people come together in a good soul tie, the power of
God intensifies.
In 1 Samuel 18:1, we read that “the soul of Jonathan
was knit to the soul of David” (NKJV). Jonathan’s and
David’s souls were tied together in a way that God blessed.
Likewise, marriage represents a good soul tie between a
husband and wife, because their souls are joined together
as one flesh (see Mark 10:8).
As I headed out for my morning walk today, I saw my big
dog, Chester Savoy Foy, tied to the gate. We are having
some work done in our backyard and we didn’t want
Chester to get loose, so we had to tie him up. I visually
saw him tied to the gate. He wasn’t going anywhere. I was
sure he wanted to. He desired to. He wished he could.
But the fact is, that chain is pretty secure and it kept him
bound.
Think about your own life. What’s keeping you bound?
What are you tied to in your soul that you can’t get free
from? Who are you still emotionally connected to because
of wrong soul ties? You want to break free. You desire to.
You wish you could, but you feel chained. These chains
must be broken.
How are soul ties formed?
1. Close relationships.
When you spend a lot of time with someone, you are
forming a bond. Through whatever you do together
– eating, traveling, working, talking – the connection
strengthens. You have soul ties with your coworkers, your
family members, your children, your classmates. Jonathan
and David are a perfect example of a God-designed soul
tie. In this type of kinship, God’s power increases. The
same is true for a wrong soul tie. In that instance, it opens
an opportunity for Satan to work on your behalf, and his
evil power is intensified.
2. Vows, commitments, promises.
Soul ties can be formed by the words of your mouth.
Words have such power over your life! Think of what
it really means when you say statements such as: “I will
never stop loving you.” “You will always be the only one I
love.” “I will never get you out of my heart.” “You’re the
only one I will ever give my love to.” “Nobody will ever
take your place in my life.” Can you just imagine how
much power these words yield?
The Bible says that we can be “snared” by the words of
our mouth: “You are snared by the words of your mouth;
you are taken by the words of your mouth” (Proverbs 6:2
NKJV). A snare means a trap, a hook or a plan. Your
very own words could be keeping you trapped to a bad
soul tie, which explains why you feel like something is
pulling on you, preventing you from fully going forward.
3. Sexual relationships.
Soul ties are formed any time and every time there
is intimacy in a relationship. You may have ended a
physically intimate relationship months ago, but you still
feel a pull toward that person. Why? Because of soul ties.
Soultiespreventusfrommovingontonewrelationships,
even the ones God may be leading us into. This can even
happen in situations of divorce. The divorce is over, a
new marriage is pursued, but one spouse keeps being
drawn back to his or her ex-husband or ex-wife. Their
soul is still tied to the former spouse.
James 1:8 says, “A double-minded man is unstable in all
his ways.” A double-minded person is one with a divided
soul. Do you feel unstable at times? Do you want to
move on with your life but are struck in random moments
of missing your ex-boyfriend? This is being double

-minded and not something God wants you to experience.
He wants you free from every sin of your past – even the
ones you willfully gave into over and over but still think
about.
There are certain things you can do to help you through
this trying and uncomfortable process of breaking free
from a relationship you feel God wants you to get free of:
A. Decide to please God more than anyone.
You have one life to live., and it matters to God. One
day, you will stand before God and give an account of your
life and what you were called to do during your time here
on earth. You cannot live your life displeasing God in
order to please someone else. All that will do is eventually
bring you a life of deep regret.
You have to come to the place in your life where pleasing
God is the most important thing to you. If He is prompting
you to end a relationship that you’re tied to, then you need
to end it. Allowing someone to have as much influence
as God should have in your life opens the door for Satan
to come into your life. He will make it so much harder
for you to give up this soul tie. The right time to cut the
strings is now. Today. Even this very minute.
B. Build yourself up in the Word.
You must have daily doses of God’s Word in order to
develop the strength to sever an ungodly soul tie. You
cannot do this on your own. Filling yourself with God’s
Word can help you make the right decisions. It must be a
part of your strategic plan to be free of your past.

We all have a past. We’ve all made mistakes and done things we wish we hadn’t
done. We all wish we could just push a “delete” button on some of the choices
we made yesterday and some of the things we’ve experienced years ago. What’s
more, our past has a way of shaping who we are today. It’s amazing how one single
dramatic experience of rejection in childhood can last through adulthood and for-
ever alter our self-image or how one bad decision in college can overshadow the
dreams of the future, even God-given dreams. The author knows that past hurts
(whether brought on by someone else or our choice to sin) can undermine us.
Raised a church kid, she knew all about sin, but made the mistakes anyway. She
learned firsthand that it’s not until we truly get a revelation of who we are in Christ
and apply it to our lives, that our past can be erased and our dreams become real
again. Terri Savelle Foy shows how we can let go of our past, change our self image
and confidently move into a future with hope.

Dreams

New book from Terri Savelle Foy
Terri Savelle Foy

The Bible is your greatest weapon against Satan. He
does not want you to break your soul ties. He is desperately
working to keep you locked into this situation. The devil
will lie to you and convince you that you cannot live
without him/her. He will remind you day and night of all
the good times, the fun times, the laughter, and torment
you into thinking you cannot live without this person. He
is a liar.
God’s Word, the Truth, will override Satan’s lies. Just
like anything else, you won’t see results overnight. You
have to make studying the Word a habit. In my new book,
I share simple steps to developing habits of spending time
in the Word. You decide your habits, your habits will
decide your future.
C. Wean Yourself from that person.
You literally have to wean yourself from that person
to whom you have ungodly soul ties. To wean means to
deprive. You have to deprive yourself of this wrong soul
tie until you no longer miss him or her. And listen to this:
there will come a day when you will no longer miss that
person.
Psalm 131:2 says, “Surely I have calmed and quieted
my soul like a weaned child with his mother. Like a
weaned child is my soul within me ceased from fretting.”
I remember when I was trying to wean my daughter off
of the pacifier. Every night, it had become a part of our
nightly routine to give her a pacifier as I laid her in her
crib for the night. An hour or two later, I would remove
the pacifier, and her little mouth would still be moving as
if the pacifier were still there! It was so cute!
However, when it was time to wean her from it, it was
torture. It was unbearable for her and she screamed at the
top of her lungs for that “thing” she was used to getting. It
was unbearable for me as I could not do anything except
let her cry. Oh, it broke my heart. I felt like a bad mom!
Finally, what felt like an eternity of torturing my baby
ended. She cried herself to sleep.
The next night, it didn’t get any easier! It was like
starting over again. The same thing happened night after
night. One night, however, the crying seemed to fade. It
wasn’t as loud or as long as the previous nights. Eventually,
of course, the crying completely stopped. The hours of
crying turned into nights of silence. My baby, who is now
13, hasn’t missed her pacifier since!
When you first deny yourself of your wrong soul tie,
rest assured that your spirit will throw a fit. Your emotions
will scream and fight for the right to stay in bondage.
But the more you deny yourself the thing that you are
screaming for, the less you begin to desire it. Your flesh
will eventually stop throwing temper tantrums and will
start being subsided by the Spirit of God.
There are many ways to wean yourself off of an ungodly
soul tie. The most obvious and important action to take
is to cut all communication. Don’t call the person. Don’t
answer their phone calls.
Don’t hang out in places
where you know they’ll
be. Don’t be alone with
them. Don’t email them.
Delete their emails. You
may have to take drastic
measures to be free, but
I promise you, it’s worth
it. Doing this is being
obedient to God and you will never regret submitting
to your Heavenly Father. God always blesses obedience.
Remember this: partial obedience is still disobedience.
Disobedience opens the door for a curse to come on your
life. Fully obey what you know God is telling you to do.
When you compromise, agony and anxiety become
your companions. When you obey God, peace and joy
become a part of your life. You can never have total peace
when you’re in disobedience to God. The only way to
obtain peace is to submit to Him and do whatever He
wants you to do. Your feelings will lie to you. You have to
shut them up and do what you know you’re supposed to
do. As I mentioned earlier, I dedicated an entire chapter
on this subject which includes more strategic steps to
breaking free. In a very practical way, I show you how to
remove reminders of your past from your house and how
to break the power of those words that have been spoken.
My prayer is that you will do what you know in your
heart God is telling you to do. Lean on Him like never
before. When the soul ties are painful, rest assured, your
pain won’t last forever. Joy comes in the morning. And
when something ends, God always has a new beginning.

Tanzania
Missions - November Trip
Every day in Tanzania hundreds of children’s deaths could be
prevented through proper nourishment and hygiene. This truth
doesn’t just move our hearts, it also moves our hands and feet
to do something about it. Because of your continued support,
we have partnered with three local orphanage ministries by
providing three meals a day for abandoned children in six
different orphanages.
Orphanage Support:
By putting education together with the Gospel, we know that
the lives of these children will truly be impacted and changed.
Without the school supplies in these backpacks the children
would be turned away and not allowed to attend class. This
outreach enables children to receive an education and bring
hope to their entire family. In addition, this past November,
we also provided a special needs school with curriculum and
teaching aids designed for their special needs.
School Supplies:
Here is a look at what your gifts of support will be accomplishing for the
Kingdom of God during out mission trip to Tanzania this November.

In addition to the humanitarian efforts
of distributing food, clothing, school
supplies, orphanage support and many
other outreaches, live open-air crusades
are conducted annually where as many
as 7,000 lives have run to the altar to
meet Jesus in one week.
We know in order to have lasting change and
affect an entire nation; local pastors must be
trained and given the tools needed to reach
their country. Currently, we are training 230
national Pastors through the Jerry Savelle
Bible School translated into their native
language of Kiswahili.
These pastors have repeatedly
testified to us that they have never
before heard this kind of Bible
teaching, and that the courses
have drastically changed not only
their lives, but the lives of their
congregations.
Because of your faithful support, thousands of children and
families will be able to wake up each day knowing that they will
not go hungry. In some of the most drought stricken areas, we
will provide food for over 40,000 people. Each outreach will
provide enough food for two months until the rains arrive.
Food Distribution:
At each humanitarian outreach, we will also minister to their spirit.
In 2009 we documented over 1,350 decisions for Christ and gave
away over 5,000 Jerry Savelle books translated into Kiswahili, You’re
Somebody Special To God. Each book that is given away will be passed
around within a village and be read by ten, twenty, even fifty people.

PartnershipPartners, because of your financial support to Jerry Savelle Ministries, you are touching people around the world through
television, church meetings, conferences, and faith-building resources. You are also making a difference in the lives of real
people struggling in Africa. Thank you for being a part of sharing His love, compassion, and truth to those in need.
I would like to personally invite you to become a partner
with this ministry. A partner in our ministry is one who sows
faithfully and continuously, helping us achieve the vision and
goals that God has given us. My mandate for over 40 years
has been to teach people how to be winners in life. God wants
you to win in every area of your life. And, with God’s Word,
you can do just that. You can then have a greater influence on
the people you associate with and work with.
The Apostle Paul said in Galatians that you are to communicate
with those who instruct you. That simply means that if this
ministry has brought instruction into your life, if this ministry
has helped you along the way in your spiritual growth, if it has
blessed your life in some way, then Paul says to communicate
with it. The word “communicate” here in the literal Greek is
a little deeper than saying “I love your ministry.” It literally
means “to give” and “to partner with.”
I would be honored to have you as my partner. One of the greatest compliments I ever receive
is when someone comes up and says, “Jerry, I’m your partner.” That is such a blessing to me.
When you partner with me, it means you believe in the call of God on my life.
I personally invite you to partner with this ministry. There is no way we can fulfill all that God
has planned for us without partners. The vision God has given us is simply too big. It will take
all of us together to accomplish this God-honoring vision.
When you become a partner, I want to sow right back into your life. With your first partner
gift, I will send you my partner packet which includes two of my most motivating messages. I
believe that as you partner with our ministry, you are going to experience the same grace and
favor that is on this ministry. I receive testimonies of it everyday.
I want to close by saying thank you to all of our partners and friends of JSMI. Because of you,
we are able to fulfill the call of God on our lives and reach the world for Jesus Christ!
In Him,
Jerry Savelle

Some of us are routine-kind of people.
We enjoy doing the same routine at the
same time each day. If something changes
in the routine, that wasn’t on the sched-
ule, it throws everything off . We don’t
like change. We don’t like spontaneity.
We don’t like anything to interrupt our
well thought out plans for each day.
Then, there’s some of us who are spon-
taneous. We don’t like to be sculpted into
a little mold. We don’t like predictability.
We aren’t planners. We “fly by the seat
of our pants.” We wake up at a different
time each day, eat at different times, go
to sleep at a different time each night and
rarely ever develop a routine, only those
that are absolutely necessary.
It’s good to have a little bit of both
personality traits in us. But as I’ve been
studying the Word of God, I’ve discov-
ered that it’s only through routine, regu-
lar exposure to God’s Word, that we can
draw near unto God. However, it’s not
easy to develop a habit of drawing near
to God. It’s easy to just do it when we
feel like it one day and not the next day.
Why must we be consistent in our time
with God? Because only through consis-
tency does change come about. We see
that with exercising. You can’t just work
out two times and expect change in your
body.
Well, Satan is after your life. He’s af-
ter what’s in your heart and he’ll work
day and night to try to get entrance into
your heart. You can’t just spend Sunday
only in the Word of God and expect
change in your heart, in your thoughts,
in your life. It comes through a consistent
routine with God. Sometimes we think,
“After I’ve done a few things around the
house, ran all my errands, returned my
phone calls, exercised, cooked dinner .
. . then I’ll spend some quiet time with
God.” Next thing you know, your errands
lasted longer than expected, your phone
call to your best friend lasted one hour,
there wasn’t any time for exercising, you
ended up ordering pizza (again), and by
the end of the evening, you’re exhausted
and ready for bed. No time left for God.
The day escaped you and you never
made time for the most important rela-
tionship in your life - your relationship
with God. That’s the reason we have to
make our time with God a scheduled,
routine “appointment” every single day
no matter what! We can’t base our time
with God on how we feel one day or
whether we’re in the mood to pray. We
have to draw near to God daily in order
to stay strong, confident, joyful and at
peace in our lives. The scripture tells us
in James 4:8, Draw nigh to God, and he
will draw nigh to you. The Amplified says
it this way, Come close to God and He
will come close to you.
There are two kinds of hearts we find
in the Bible. There is the heart God de-
lights in which is a heart that is compli-
ant, cooperative, responsive to Him and
His commands, a heart that obeys. Then
there is the heart that’s disobedient and
tries to figure everything out on its own
rather than seeking God’s wisdom.
Let’s look at the hearts of King Saul
and David in comparison. Many times,
Saul disobeyed God but he was mindful
to offer the sacrifices that God required
of him. However, in his disobedience, he
never gave God what He wanted most
from him- his heart. He messed up over
and over again and would be quick to of-
fer the sacrifices, but he never truly dedi-
cated his heart to God. 1 Samuel 15:22
says, ...Hath the Lord as great delight in
burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obey-
ing the voice of the Lord? Behold, to
obey is better than sacrifice, and to hear-
ken than the fat of rams.
Clearly, Saul was not responsive to God
or to His Law. Finally, after a series of
acts of disobedience, God sent Samuel to
Saul with a two-fold message: Your king-
dom will not continue; and the Lord has
sought for Himself a man after His own
heart. So He stripped his kingdom from
him and He gave it to a man who would
be obedient to Him. In 1 Samuel 13:14 it
says, I have found David a man after My
own heart that will do all My will.
David obeyed God’s instructions. Saul
didn’t. He wanted to do everything his
way. Yes, David made mistakes. We all
know that. None of us are perfect. But
God looks on the “heart” and David’s
heart was centered on pleasing God.
God is interested in where your heart is.
Is your heart after God or is it entirely
centered on pleasing yourself? Saul was
a prideful man. He was very confident
about his skills, his intelligence and his
decisions. He didn’t think he had to seek
God for counsel.
It’s interesting how both men were
given the privilege of leading a nation but
they both chose to walk in different di-
rections. Saul walked his own road. David
followed God’s path. So, what do we learn
from their example? How do we obtain
the same kind of heart that David had -
the heart that pleases God? Proverbs 4:23
says, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for
out of it are the issues of life. We must
guard our hearts. How do we do that? By
cautiously attending to everything we al-
low our eyes to see, our ears to hear, and
our emotions to feel. If we carefully ob-
serve what we allow to enter our hearts
and consistently fill our minds with the
Word of God, then we will have exactly
what God is looking for in us - a heart
after Him. This is obtained by developing
a routine of scheduled time with God and
not allowing ANYTHING to interrupt
this appointment. If we can consistently
do the same routine each day in some ar-
eas, then we can eventually become con-
sistent in our time with God.
Scheduling time with God is easy to
postpone, but remember the phrase:
seven days without God makes one weak.
Discover when you’re the most energetic
and alert. Is that in the morning or late
at night when everyone’s asleep? Is it
while you’re out walking or having lunch
in your car? When can you create quiet,
alone time with God with no interrup-
tions?
Look at your schedule and begin to de-
termine when your time with God works
best for you. Then, start your routine.
Be consistent. Don’t let up. Set goals for
yourself. Determine that you’re not going
to let a day go by without visiting with
your heavenly Father. – AIF
