Dear Partners and Friends,
When the angel and a multitude of the heavenly host announced Jesus’ birth to the world, they praised God saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). Those words have been ringing throughout heaven and earth ever since that day!
This year has definitely been one of historical significance.
Peace and goodwill have been the fervent cry of our hearts on so many levels. Covering every area of our lives—spirit, soul and body—the intercession of the saints in every corner of the earth has flooded heaven. God’s glory has been evident everywhere!
Jesus came to earth to bring the glory of God to every kindred, tongue and tribe. He stepped into His mission on the day He was born and walked it out every day of His life on earth. And He did not leave the earth without God’s glory when He returned to His Father. He gave us the mandate to be vessels of glory and continue the excellent ministry He began.
Bringing God’s glory into the earth; that’s our mission.
For all these years, we have gone throughout the earth with our hearts set on being vessels of His excellent glory. As we head into 2021, we expect God’s glory will be recognized from the top of the world to the bottom, and all the way around. And we can be assured that His glory will be revealed through our ministering together, as Partners and Friends, the good news of Jesus manifest in the earth.
Since the day Jesus was born, God’s glory has been dwelling among us. As His family has increased, His glory has dwelled in us and through us, bringing His presence to the world. What an honor and privilege it is to be vessels that reveal His glory to everyone He brings into our presence!
Every day we thank our Father that you are partnering with us in ministry. Our prayers will be with you throughout the Christmas season, as we celebrate Jesus with hearts filled with praise to the glory of God! As always, as the Copeland family gathers together, we hold you in our hearts and minds because you are our cherished worldwide family.
We declare God’s glory will be known throughout the world in the coming year as we go out together—celebrating every day His goodwill toward all men!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Kenneth & Gloria
