“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For mercy endures forever” (Psalms 107:1)
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your love and kindness, your generosity and faithfulness to: The Trumpet of the Lord Ministries (JJREA).
I pray that this greeting finds you and your family well…“that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”. Your prayers and partnership for this ministry have made a great difference.
This past year, 2025, we were able to preach the Gospel in the United States and abroad. February 21st to March 1st, I had the privilege to co-labor with fellow Missionaries and local Churches in Panama, approximately 1,228 people heard the Gospel proclaimed. Of those that heard the Gospel 475 men, women, boys and girls indicated they trusted Christ as their personal Savior.
March 14th to March 24th, 2025, our mission took us to Kakamega, Kenya, local in East Africa which is located approximately 18 miles north of the equator. Kakamega is a farming community whose crops are the staples of sugarcane, corn, and greens found both in large fields or gardens. Many people, although busy working in their fields or gardens, were courteous to stop their labor in order to hear our message of the Gospel. The weather was mild and cool with daily temperatures ranging from high the 50’s to low 60’s; however it was surprising to see people wearing heavy jackets as if it was freezing cold. Nevertheless, 6,000 people heard the Gospel proclaimed. Of them who heard were 3,025 which indicated they trusted and received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
November 14th to November 24th, 2025, a very challenging mission project with hindrances and Spirit warfare took us to Cali, Colombia. As always, the Gospel prevailed. We shared the gospel in homes, parks, schools, and with Soccer players co-laboring with local Pastors and Churches. The results: Of 2,431 who heard the Gospel proclaimed, 1,262 individuals indicated they trusted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
Thank you for your faithfulness this past year, and for the opportunities and privileges afforded us this New Year 2026!
With a grateful and sincere heart,
Julius J. Raines Evangelist/Missionary
