My Weakness For His Strength

This is a devotional book about the weakness of man and the strength of God that is revealed through it. It is written to encourage those who thought they were taken out but will discover they will be taken in, those who have been taken down only to discover that God really wanted to bring them up, to those who first abhorred the cross until they discovered the crown. The Christian religion made by man sets standards that are impossible to keep, because success rests at the feet of man. You will not find a hint of religion in this book. The Christian faith, which centers in Jesus, not only acknowledges the weakness of man but reveals God’s strength manifested through him.

Sidetracked In The Wilderness

How do believers begin at a place of joy and find themselves once again defeated? This book will give you new hope and an understanding of some of the basic definitions of the Christian life that so many people miss.

Heavenly Discipleship

Heavenly discipleship believes that the fullness of Christ exists in every believer and the task of every disciple-maker is to reveal that great truth. Discipleship is not putting Christ or his characteristics into a person but rather revealing the Christ that dwells in a person. It it not working for but from. When a disciple works for what he already has, he will lose that which he has. Michael Wells shares the secret of “Christ in you, the hope of glory” and then true approach to discipleship.

Untold Stories & Unknown Saints

This new book is a compilation of accounts that took place over the years as Michael Wells traveled to the remote regions of the world to discover, minister with, and be ministered to by the weak. Untold Stories & Unknown Saints is an inspiring look at the love of God operating in the lives of those whose stories might otherwise have remained hidden.

These photos were printed on the supporters’ March receipts to accompany Betty’s letter. They picture our beloved Italian friends from the publishing, book selling, and conference organizing ministry in Italy, Editrice Uomini Nuovi. One photo shows Mike with Pastor Laiso in his office talking about a ministry newsletter from long ago. The other photo is of Pastor Laiso’s family, except for Mike and, next to him, the lady we could not do without, Yolanda Risi, who speaks Italian AND English!!!

Dear Betty, grace and peace be with you and all ofyours. I am writing to greatly thank youfor the Christmas card and for the CD- wow, it’s amazing! You have noidea how our heart had rejoiced with your mail. You all are remembered daily here. Inthis year, here in Pompéia, many people were blessed with the Word of God givenby Mike’s material. Here are some pictures ofministrations of the Temperament Test that were applied in 2012.
I am sending the pictures only to say that: Mikestill speak.
May the Lord grant you and your house a blessed 2013:

“And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying,Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thouwouldest keep me from evil, that it be not to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested.”
1 Chronicles 4:10

Let’s keep walking…

Women’s Retreat in Estes Park, CO

abiding — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:12:49 +0000

You are cordially invited to a women’s retreat to be held June 28-30 at Covenant Heights Camp and Retreat Center, Estes Park, Colorado. We have invited several women from around the country to participate and share for an hour or less, so we will not have a main speaker but rather several different perspectives on the Abiding Life message. Betty Wells and Hannah Morrell will also take some time to share. The retreat will begin with dinner served on Friday evening and sessions immediately following, from 7 – 9. Sessions are planned from 9 – noon Saturday morning and 7 – 9 in the evening, with free time for hiking and checking out the town in the afternoon. Breakfast, lunch, and supper on Saturday will be served at the retreat center. Finally, after breakfast on Sunday we will finish the retreat with 9-11:30 sessions Sunday morning and noon lunch. Cost will be $200 per person, including room and board for the weekend. You will be responsible for travel to Denver International Airport and transportation from the airport to the retreat site in Estes Park. Car rentals are available at the airport and would allow you to access the town of Estes Park more easily, since the retreat center is several miles from the town center. There are also shuttles and other forms of transport to get you to Estes Park from DIA. Lodging will be dormitory style, and you can check out the facilities at Covenant Heights’ website (covenantheights.org).

If you have questions or would like to register by phone or email, please contact Karla Blanton at abidinglife@aol.com or (303) 972-0859. Registrations must be received by May 31^st. A $50 nonrefundable deposit is required. Looking forward to seeing you there!

New Sidetracked in the Wilderness Study Guide

abiding — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 23:05:26 +0000

Hannah Morrell has written a new Sidetracked in the Wilderness study guide which is available now in the Resources section of our website. The introduction is posted below.

When I met Mike, I was struck by how genuine he was. In all my encounters with the Christian world, most of the time I left frustrated at the hypocrisy of the whole thing and how miserable believers were, even though they wanted me to do what they were doing and be miserable with them! Mike was different. He got to know me and really cared about me. He spoke about Jesus like He was Someone he really knew. He worked so hard but had a peace that I could not explain. Mike walked with me as I began to get the revelation of this abiding–that I was attached to the Vine, and if I allowed the Vine’s Life to flow through me, I would have the rest and peace for which I had been striving my whole life. It is such a simple thing, but not at all easy. I get to walk with Jesus and receive Life from Him. The God of the universe wants me to know Him. What an amazing revelation and life-changing gift!

When Betty asked me to write this study guide, I had no clue where to start. I realized, though, that a study guide is a way of personalizing the message of the book, and as I read this powerful book again, I saw the questions the Lord had brought during times when I was counseling others or was walking through some things in my own life. These are the questions I have put in the study guide, and I hope that they will allow you to have an encounter with Jesus that will show you His incredible love. I pray that you will know “remaining in the Vine” and experience this amazing Life. I know that was Mike’s hope, too, and continues to be his desire now in his face-to-face talks with Jesus.

Hannah Morrell, December, 2012

Christmas Hope

“And the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’” –Luke 2:10
“And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary . . . you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the houses of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end.’” –Luke 1:30-33

Karla, Betty, and Hannah, ALMI office, wish you a blest Christmastime full of the Light of Life, Jesus!
