When I resigned from being the Music Pastor at Cornerstone Church, there were those who thought I was a little crazy for leaving a dependable, well paying, job, which also provided health insurance, a 401k, a core of loving people and a guaranteed platform for ministry. I would agree with them if I were only looking in on the “natural” side of things. But when God speaks to your heart a word, “Go” then you must obey. He is the one who takes the impossible and makes it possible! As King David said, “My times are in His hands”.
Praying for Protection, strength & the power of the Holy Spirit to be strong in them!
In starting this non-profit organization (Sarah DeLane Ministries), God, through you, has performed miracle after miracle.
My last trip was amazingly provided for! Because of the fluctuating gas prices and the weakening exchange rate for the US Dollar, it was the most expensive missions trip I have been on to date. However, it was one of the most rewarding trips I have been on! To minister to people who have never even heard the name of Jesus and to introduce Him to them for the first time was priceless. (Follow up is being provided by our interpreter who is a local Pastor who came from their tribe.)
4 hr van ride up into the Mtns., 4-whl drive thru rivers, hiking thru 2 rivers to remote village!
The places that God has opened up for me was no easy trek! The tedious, winding roads up the mountains, the border conflict – where the local Army have been known to shoot people across the river (the river serves as a border), the heat, mosquitoes, giant spiders and snakes have certainly been worth it all! The people I was able to minister to are considered the forgotten, however, we know that God has not forgotten them and they are not forsaken!
As you know, I do not have a church who sponsors me, an organization who sends me out, I am completely relying on the
people of God to hear His prompting to support the work of the ministry, to accept His passion to reach the forgotten people of this world.
Thank you for listening and responding with your gift! I know that God will lay to your account the ones who have been added to the Kingdom because of your response!
Right now I am preparing 2 more mission trips. (In 2012 I will be taking 4 trips, equaling 4 months overseas.) I am praying for 330 people and churches to give a monthly donation of at least $30.00. Some of you could give more and for some of you, this would be a great sacrifice. I only ask that you would pray about it and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. I don’t have a catchy slogan for the 330, it is just what is needed for me to go. Because of your action, I am going into these nations to give them the opportunity to hear the gospel, sometimes for the first time and to bring much needed Bibles. These Bibles are going into nations where there are Christians who desperately want one, but their Government has made Bibles illegal. They can only receive Bibles from people outside their nations who are willing to risk being caught at the borders.
We are only recipients of the Gospel because of the courage and calling of William Tyndale who translated and smuggled pages into England! What courage! Will you be courageous with me and fund me to take the scriptures into the closed nations of this world?
Please do two things: First, pray with me about this urgent and very serious financial situation.
Second, please help me! Send your gift right now. Drop a check in the mail to SDM, 102 Hazel Path, Ste 6E, Hendersonville, TN 37074, or pick up the phone and call me at 615.810.8481. Time is of the essence.

Hi Sarah…..Our son and husband and myself heard you at Sunnyside Nazarene church . I sent a book by my father to you but it came back. We were so blessed and you gave me a CD ..I must go on …..I looked you up today as you are on our minds and I was going to call Pastor Don but here you are with an new blog etc …could not find one before but then I am 81 years old and though on the computer ..not very computer savvy with continued changin things.
Glad to hear you are alright. I will try this address on this page to see if that is the right one to get to you . So glad that you are obedient to the Lord …my parents were missionaries to China and we grew up in China …..when my dad was visiting a church in Portland the pastor asked him to tell his testiimony ….the pastor told me later that he expected my dad to speak a long time ..but Dad got up and said ….TRUST AND OBEY . and that is exactly what we as Christians are doing and so thankful that you have that sweet relationship with the Lord that you are NOT AFRAID to Trust and obey. God bless you ….hope to hear from you ……..I would love a print out of the song I must go on . I play that one again and again . in Christ …….Kathleen Rictor . (Kay)
