Beyth-T'phillah (House of Prayer)

Beyth T’phillah, (Hebrew  for 'House of Prayer’) was established with its grand opening on Pentecost Sunday May 27, 2007. Its main purpose is to break the chains of bondage caused by the darkness of this world and to break down walls that have blinded the worldly surroundings from seeing the truth of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Savior). Its accomplishments will be by the four-fold ministry of the Messiah which are: preaching, teaching, healing, and performing miracles. This body of the Messiah is dedicated to prayer.

TEN PILLARS OF FAITH

We Believe...
        
(1)  Safeguarding the Sabbath is a willing act of obedience to the Fourth Commandment and not a social obligation for the week (I Sam.15:22).
                
(2)  The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath (Mark 2:27).
                
(3)  Worship is what we can bring to God, instead of what we can get from the gathering of the body of the Messiah (Psalm 51:14b-17).
                
(4)  Worship must be in spirit and in truth because God is spirit (John 4:24).
                
(5)  The only religion that our Father accepts is pure and faultless is to look after orphans and widows in distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the ways of the world (James 1:27).
                
(6)  Christian conduct is to live in harmony with one another, be sympathetic, love each other as brothers and sisters, be compassionate and be humble (I Pet. 3:8).
        
(7)  The Triune God is one God with three attributes of Father-Son-Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4, John 17:11, 1 Corinthians 2:10-11, John 1:1-2).
        
(8)  The Son of Man was conceived in the womb of a virgin by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:26-35).
                
(9)  The Son of God was scourged for our healings, crucified to death for our sins, buried for our victory over death, His resurrection is our hope of an eternal life with the Holy Father, and He is currently seated at the right hand of God as our High Priest and advocate (Isa 53:5, Matt 20:17-19, I Cor 15:54-55, Philippians 4:10-11, Col 3;1, Heb 8:15).
               
(10)  Yeshua is the only way of salvation from the eternal suffering and pain of hell (John 14:6).
        
Project Cradle

Project Cradle helps support Women’s Pregnancy Crisis Centers in Wichita & Salina, Kansas. The Pregnancy Service Center in Salina     guides individuals seeking their services with “....the Way, the Truth and the Life.” (John 14:6). They witness that Jesus is the WAY to escape the darkness of death and discover the Light of Life. PSC shares that Jesus is the TRUTH and that abortion does not give     freedom, but creates chains of bondage. Truth, however, breaks those chains. They teach that Jesus is the LIFE and that life is to be nurtured and the value of life passed on to others. Pregnancy Service Center provides a free and confidential environment. Some of the services provided by PSC are: Educational Classes, Crisis Intervention, Workshops, Pregnancy Testing, Ongoing  Mentorship/Friendship Programs, Self-Esteem Building, Bible Studies, Housing for Pregnant Women, Purity Under Pressure Abstinence Program, and Post-      Abortion Recovery Guidance in forgiving , healing and restoring lives.

Project Gospel

This project is a very special project and brings great joy and blessing to be a part of.  The purpose of this project is to bring magnificent honor and glory to the Kingdom of Heaven. It accomplishes this goal by providing a salary for a minister who is saving souls and spreading the Gospel message of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ). It is a great honor to help pastor Arturo Gomez Hdz. from Picholco, Mexico. Arturo was the lead guitarist for the Catholic Church. One night a man that he had never seen before or since, came to him and told him he needed to get right with God. It was at that moment he gave his life to the Savior. This decision got him kicked out of the Catholic Church and  his own mother disowned him. She told him not to bother to come to her funeral. However, she also became a follower or the Savior, Yeshua and lives with Arturo. The Catholic Church continues to persecute his family by vandalizing his house constantly. Arturo prays for his tormenters and witnesses to them. He is married to Rosa and have four children: Renia, Rosalva, Arturo Jr., and Sieda.
HIS MINISTRY
Arturo is the pastor of the church in Picholco, with a congregation of 80 people. He is also the Area Superintendent of the churches in Temalacaco, Ayopoxco, and Tamairando which is another 100-150 people. In addition he is just beginning a jail ministry in Tmazunchale. He is known for his gifts of prophesy, visions, and special prayer services. His church in Picholco has music provided by trumpets, violins, guitars, and an accordion. The church seats are plastic lawn chairs. They love singing hymns such as ‘Trust and Obey’ and “Holy, Holy, Holy”. Arturo must walk over ruff terrain to all his churches. One day he was given a very heavy box of Bibles to carry back to the church and he replied, “The word of God is never heavy.” The pulpit in Picholco was made by a boy in Salina, Kansas as a woodworking project. People walk as much as 45 minutes each week to hear pastor Arturo preach.  His wife Rosa was healed by God of two tumors at one of his prayer services.

Project Hunger

Empty Tomb Ministries Foundation is joining hands with Love INC. of Ottawa County and the Ottawa County Ministerial Association with Project Hunger. Love In the Name of Christ of Ottawa County administers the food bank for the Ottawa County Ministerial Association. This food bank serves many, many needy people in Ottawa County. The exact or even estimated number of families and individuals that are helped with food through the food bank is not known because of the administrations belief in God’s word from Matthew 6:3-4, “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”  However, the food bank distributes nearly 150 food baskets in celebration of the birth of our Savior and His resurrection from the dead valued at nearly $10,000.00. Many of the receiving clients are below the poverty line.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Grocery items can be dropped off at the office address of Empty Tomb Ministries Foundation located at 508 Delia, Minneapolis, Kansas or you can even call 24-hours a day seven days a week to schedule a pick up time and date at 785-392-2174. unfortunately, there are children in Oftawa County Kansas who go to bed hungry.  Prayerfully consider donating extra can goods from your pantry to help stop the hunger rumblings in these children’s tummies. Yeshua (Jesus) said in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” With your help we can stomp out hungry children in Ottawa County, Kansas.
SOME OF THE ITEMS NEEDED:
          • Canned fruits & vegetables
          • Diapers, soap, shampoo

Project Lunch Bucket

Empty Tomb Ministries Foundation is partnering with Vamos Adeante Foundation in Guatemala to help feed the starving children and the neglected elderly in the village of El Nispero. The program will feed 100 of the most malnourished daily. Malnutrition among Guatemalan children is extremely high, among the worst in the world according to a World Bank study. Dona Mencha, a pastor’s wife is willing to prepare and distribute the food for the small salary of $3.28 per day. These villagers are totally dependant upon the commercial farms for a living which can range from $5-8.00 per day depending upon the condition of the crops of coffee and beans. The majority of the coffee and bean harvest was destroyed by hurricane Stan in 2005, heavy rains in 2006, and early rains in 2007 have hampered planting. Therefore, the families have been without an income and food. On top of everything else Mountain Fuego rumbles and shakes threatening to erupt sometime this decade. When there is work in El Nispero, most men leave their homes at 3-4 am, which means for the women to get up at 2 am to prepare the food. The men walk up to 2-4 hours and start working around 5 am in the fields. Then they arrive back home around 6 pm and later.
LUNCH BUCKET MEALS
The meals provided daily through this project consists of 2 big glasses of lncaparina, beans, rice, and various vegetables. On Tuesdays and Saturdays the menu changes a bit and seasonal fruit is added. lncaparina is a very nutritious drink and was specially developed for children in poor areas of the world suffering from starvation and malnutrition. The traditional holiday dish is called “Tamales”, which is a cornmeal shell with a small piece of meat inside topped with tomato sauce, all wrapped in a banana leaf. Most children don’t go to school because they have to work in the fields.

You can help by praying for this project or considering a financial sponsorship of $25.00 per month.
May God bless you.

Project Sweet Tooth

This is a fun project that not only presents the true facts of the meaning of the candy cane but also the soul-saving Gospel message of Yeshua (Jesus) the only Messiah. Individuals and organizations may contact the office and get their supply of candy canes (while supplies last) that have one or both messages attached to them. This is a great witnessing tool for all ages.
THE MEANING OF THE CANDY CANE
'Many years ago a candy maker wanted to make a candy that symbolized the true meaning of Christmas-JESUS. The hard candy was shaped like a shepherd’s hook since JESUS is the Great Shepherd. When turned upside down it is shaped like a “J” to represent JESUS’ name. The color white stands for the pureness of JESUS. The solid red color represents the blood HE shed to save US from our sins. The stripped red color is to represent Isaiah 53:5, “by HIS strips WE are healed.” The three different colors represents JESUS being part of the Trinity. The peppermint flavor represents HIS death and resurrection.  THE END’
GOOD NEWS MESSAGE
Jesus said in Mark 1:15, “The time has come, the kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the Good News!” (NIV). When Jesus said to believe, He was saying WE should have faith in Him like a parachute when you jump from a plane You don’t merely ‘believe’ in the parachute you put it on and take action by pulling the rip-cord. Please don’t ‘jump’ without JESUS. If you die in you sins there is no second chance. God will give you justice and you will end up in Hell forever. Confess your sins right now, put your trust in JESUS as Savior and you will pass from death to life Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. Have faith in God, HE will never let you down.

PRAY:     “Dear God, I repent of all my sins and trust Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for the gift of eternal life. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.
