BROKEN AND SHATTERED PROMISES MINISTRIES 2016 HANUKKAH E-NEWSLETTER

Howdy again from a wintry and cold flatlands of West Texas! Have you been, shall we say, “raging in the cage” over someone and/or something at times like I have? Do you keep feeling like you’re in a continual state of frustration and there seems to be absolutely no way out (save for Him and His grace, of course)? Would you give almost anything you’ve got (save hopefully your soul) if you just have the ears and heart of someone of prominence long enough for him/her to hear what seems to be the desperate plea and cry of your heart so that maybe you might finally get a chance to get out of that cage that’s confined you for so long? How do you touch the heart of that particular king or queen in a way that might cause them to decide for themselves that it might be in their own best interest to attempt to be of some assistance to you?

Now let’s shift that emphasis just a bit to our Heavenly King. What if you keep getting the sense that your prayers to Him don’t even leave the floor—much less the ceiling or roof of your house or building? How can you make those cries and pleas you make to Him for relief and release from those situations of bondage effective ones that get reasonable Divine results? And just as you can touch His heart with your requests, is there any way He can also use those “kings and queens of prominence” as tools to help Him get the job done? If so, what might be some steps that could be taken to insure maximum success? Let’s have a little discussion on “kings” this session—both involving those here on earth as well as the very one who is the King of Kings Himself--during this session’s MAIN STUDY after some important ministry and business announcements...

MINISTRY ANNOUNCEMENTS:

(I.) SPECIAL UPDATE ON BSPOP BOOK PURCHASES

Here’s yet another friendly reminder from your state department of highways to let you know that all of the books that my God has had me to write throughout the past 20 years are still AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE RIGHT NOW on Amazon.com as well as directly through Broken and Shattered Promises Online Publishing--”Walking From Lockney To Jerusalem: My Life In The Worldwide Church of God”; “A Message From Siberia”, “A’Wise And A’Foolish In Canaan’s Land: Detailed Bible Studies For The Believer”, and "Sowing In Tears".

IN FACT—just in time for your holiday shopping, for a limited time until after New Year’s, we’re bringing back our Hanukkah Book Special!!! This means that if you order an ENTIRE set of all four BSPOP books directly from us, it’ll only cost you $60 for the whole set…INCLUDING all shipping and handling charges and Texas sales tax. It’s a great way to give a special gift to those you love that will help ground them further in the Word of God!

How can you do so? SIMPLE...Just do one of the following things to get your copy of each of these books in your hot little hand--

• ) Stop by the Broken and Shattered Promises Online Publishing website to see a brief description of each book, download FREE sample intro chapters to each book to get a little taste of what each of them is like for yourself, and then get details on how to order each of these books-- http://coyrhseatcbspm.wix.com/walking (no www. necessary on the URL) [FYI--You can also type in to any search engine “Broken and Shattered Promises Online Publishing” or my name to find the website in case the above link isn’t exactly right...] Then, click onto the top tool bar to find the appropriate part of the site you may specifically wish to access, click onto a specific link, and the necessary information will come up before you on how you can order any of the above books through BSPOP.

• ) If you absolutely otherwise can’t wait to get them yourself, then by all means go directly to http://www.amazon.com and type in the search engine “Coy Reece Holley” to get a listing of all books available. [Note: If you purchase directly via Amazon, the prices might be a little higher--but ALL  books WILL be available in both print (paperback ONLY--sorry, campers) and also (except for “Sowing In Tears”) e-book form for those willing to subscribe to Amazon Kindle. And you WILL NOT be able to take advantage of the special book prices we’re offering here at BSPOP.]

• ) (UPDATE:) For those that don’t have computers and/or Net access, they can also call, write, and/or email me to pre-order each of the books directly from myself/BSPOP (paperback version ONLY--which I will be more than willing to assist you in obtaining as needed) at the following addresses and/or phone numbers: (NOTE: Please note new changes in my phone numbers due to a recent additional phone number I have added AND NOW OUR BRAND-NEW business and ministry mailing address...)

 Broken and Shattered Promises Online Publishing

 P.O. Box 1501

 Plainview, TX 79072

 Email: CoyRH_SEATCBSPM@yahoo.com

 (806) 451-7475 (cell)

PLEASE by all means feel free to print and send copies of the enclosed order form and even this newsletter to those you know in your own circle of influence that wouldn’t otherwise have access to this information so that they can also have the opportunity to be blessed themselves by the information presented in each of these books.

 [Special Note:] (A.) If you attempt to call me on my cell (especially for a book order), please leave a voicemail if I do not answer right away due to the fact that it is one of my methods of how I must currently screen my calls and make efficient use of my limited cellphone minutes. Also, (especially since I’m currently having to deal with some challenges with both my own hearing as well as cellphone clarity), please speak VERY slowly, LOUDLY, and DISTINCTLY as is possible to make sure that I am able to hear your information and then attempt to call you back.

(B.) Those who contact me directly to do your book purchase should also note that individual books can also be ordered directly from BSPOP for $20 each INCLUDING all applicable Texas state/local sales taxes and shipping/handling. Please see the attached book order form for more detailed instructions on how you can order any and/or all BSPOP books. Those who are either outside the U.S. OR who are inside the U.S. who desire faster PRIORITY SHIPPING should add another $20 (U.S. dollars) to the total price of the order to help defray our required costs for additional shipping and handling charges.

Whatever way you decide to order any and/or all of these books, I feel that you will be truly blessed as you join me in each of these unique literary journeys my God has taken me on over the years and gain new practical insights and concepts about the Word of God and on some current issues facing the universal Body of Christ that you may have not previously considered. And if you like some things of what you find in each book, please don’t keep the words to yourself--but instead encourage others to take the following advice I’ve recently suggested to others about these important books--”Do like they do in Chicago...buy early and buy often...buy for friends, buy for neighbors, buy for strangers if you must--BUT by all means, BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY!!!!” (I’ll end my obligatory commercial message this right there at this point...hah, hah, hah...)

(II.)  BSPM/BSPOP UPDATE:

If you haven’t checked out our website mentioned above [ http://coyrhseatcbspm.wix.com/walking ], check out how everything is now linked to the website so that we will not have to rely so much on cumbersome email to communicate business and ministry messages. If you haven’t already done so, please stop by the website from time to time for vital updates not only on book purchases, but also for the plans and direction the Lord may be taking this particular ministry.

And (as you will see later on) don’t forget our new Facebook page at www.facebook.com/brokenandshatteredpromisesministries ! You can also use the search function on Facebook as well to look for either “Coy Holley” or “Broken and Shattered Promises Ministries”. Our Facebook page is now the QUICKEST way to keep an eye between Newsletter editions on what’s going on as far as BSPM and BSPOP. Those who are more social-media inclined are more than welcome to stop by, give us a like, post comments, questions, etc. about anything related to BSPM or BSPOP.

At times recently on the technological front, it has seemed like we've first taken 3 steps forward, but then 2 3/4 steps back as we've lost cell phones and/or had things go wrong with our available technological devices. But our God has helped us to gain back some of the ground we've lost technologically, but are even in the process able to go further than we have been able to do recently. For instance, we still praise God for our recently PAID-FOR and DEBT-FREE “new-to-us” laptop computer and also new smartphone to boot. And as hoped for earlier despite fits and starts, we’re already utilizing that same smartphone to not only make calls again via our current phone number and still working to also do much more than that on top of it!

What the Adversary has tried to steal from us, our God is right now more than restoring! Now only a few things still remain on this particular front before we can finally declare that we are fully functional on the technology end (including getting two remaining pieces of software still needed for the desktop and being able to get our Internet service at home restored). As Joyce Meyer has said, "...I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be. I'm OK and I'm on my way."

On the CoyRH/SEATC Clerical front, we have throughout a good bit of this year attempted to also get the word out about our clerical and notary public services endeavors through a directory ad in the Plainview Herald. Due to more pressing recent financial obligations and a current lack of response to the ad, we were forced to call a temporary halt to the ad efforts. We do hope to resume them again after New Year’s as finances permit.

Work still continues on baby steps towards formal incorporation and other more pressing concerns of BSPM. There’s still a few more things that will remain before BSPM is incorporated as the 501(c)(3) that it will need to be--but the journey continues to proceed as finances permit and our God graciously permits and allows. We are still also hope to work with one source for the development of the necessary ministry/business logos that will be required to operate and pictorially represent the essence of what BSPM, BSPOP, etc. plans to become as soon as finances permit us to do so.

As for our past attempts to do initial organizational meetings, we have decided to shelve those plans for the present time until a more convienent and expeditious time that He might later let us know about comes up. BUT if you still have a desire, leading, and/or calling of the Lord to join us on the ground floor of this brand-new and exciting ministry endeavor, please keep an eye on our BSPM Facebook page for further updates and/or call or email us for more information on how YOU as a part of the Body of Christ can truly make an impact on those affected by the criminal justice system.

 

(III.) ANOTHER WALK OF FAITH—RECENT BSPM EXTENDED FEAST TRIP

One of our primary emphases in recent months have still been on recent efforts to further increase book sales and obtain critical financial underwriting for both our business and ministry projects. One way we recently attempted to do this was by going in the latter part of October after yet another extended LBK trip to go on an extended ministry/vacation trip--first to Huntsville, TX for the first part of the Feast of Tabernacles; then on to Branson, MO for the Autumn Assembly of Prayer with Billye Brim and special guests; then from there on to Atlanta for a Gary Keesee financial conference. For those of you who weren’t fortunate enough to see my Facebook posts during the trip, we hope to soon post on the Website some of the pictures from our new smartphone to give you a small taste of certain parts of this trip. Stay tuned for details…

Overall, we can at least say in summary that for the most part, it was definitely worth every mile of the trip. We didn’t get to quite make it to Atlanta as we had originally hoped; but for certain, we definitely saw His hand at work in various ways--whether it was in Huntsville reconnecting with old friends there, in Branson where we were able to witness some great works and efforts in the area of prayer (especially as far as the recent elections were concerned), or even as I literally had to once again really “walk in faith” just to get back home from Branson and experiencing firsthand in new and interesting ways what happens to those who step out in faith and rely on Him to get you where you might need to go. (And I’ll say this—I sure didn’t starve along the way either. From fish, chicken, and hushpuppies in Little Rock to pizza when stuck in Hope (Arkansas, that is)—we once again saw some of His very creative ways of providing food to eat…especially where Greyhound was concerned). We trust that we were able to sow various seeds along the way that will definitely in due time reap an abundant harvest.

(IV.) PRAYER REQUESTS--

We might also ask in turn that as you might be led to do so join with us in believing Him for the following prayer requests and needs via Psalm 20:1-5 and Ps. 126:

(1.) Lynda Holley (my mother), Billie Lam (now living in Corpus Christi), Vera Jo Bybee

(2.) Montford Unit--Desperate need for volunteers for various ministry opportunities in the Psychiatric Unit (and if you're in the LBK area and have an interest yourself in getting involved there, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than glad to help you get in touch with Chaplain Claybrook about those opportunties) [Also--Chaplain Claybrook has let us know that for the next fiscal year, TDCJ due to the recent state budget process has sadly once again decided to give the Chaplaincy Department a sum total of ZERO...a department where ironically the need is the greatest because at times it is the ONLY rehab program available to offenders on all units across the state. Please pray and believe God with us that this situation will be rectified and that the Texas Legislature and other state officials will change their minds about this madness and see that some sort of additional funding for the TDCJ Chaplaincy Dept. is appropriately provided so that the valuable work of chaplains statewide can be continued in some form.]

(3.) BSPM/BSPOP--(a.) URGENT MAJOR financial provision and open doors on our upcoming extended ministry/vacation trip both for things here at home [(Ex.) Rent and current expenses here] and also on the road [(Ex.) Bus tickets and other transportation expenses; hotel/motel rooms; and food and other necessary trip expenses [P.S.—If you might be one of those special people that He may be wanting to use and you respond quickly to that call in a significant fashion, we hope to see that a special appreciation gift be sent to you ASAP as a special thanks by us for standing with us at this very critical time.]

(b.) Continued Divine intervention on funding and other things needed to complete the transition of all ministry and business endeavors to fully financially functioning entities to where I (Coy RH) can eventually devote my full and primary attention and efforts towards these business and ministry efforts

(c.) I am also right now as I write this seriously contemplating the creation of a FIFTH book. Prayers for appropriate wisdom, discernment, and Divine revelation as needed to bring what will be some new challenging insights to both believers and non-believers alike as a result of this upcoming book to life on the printed page will especially be appreciated in this process.

(d.) In the meantime, we STILL are in DESPERATE need for people to contact us for book sales. We urge not just to pray about this--but as opportunity may permit for you, even consider contacting us about purchasing your own copies of any and/or all of our recent BSPOP releases. Then once you've made your purchase and received and read your books, help us spread the word to others if you like what you have read and encourage others to contact us as well to purchase their own copies. Doing this at present is the absolute best way to support our ministry and business efforts at present until such time where these ministry efforts can be supported by other means.
