"A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat - all because one grain died." - John 12:24

501c3 Dissolution
A few weeks ago, the ministers and staff of Restoration Gateway began to question whether the 501c3 structure of the ministry was consistent with Christian principles. We read the prophetic words of Mark Taylor in The Trump Prophecies and sought the Lord for ourselves on the topic. Unanimously, the team concluded this structure was not God's will for us today. One primary reason is the 501c3 covenant hinders the organization from being politically active or using our 1st Amendment rights to speak out, in exchange for tax exemptions.
We have a Christian mandate to speak out against ungodliness and to advance the Kingdom of God. Our silence will not be purchased in exchange for tax deductible donations. Although President Trump signed an executive order easing restrictions on 501c3s, it doesn't nullify the ungodly covenant which places the federal government as the head of the organization and not Christ. We have therefore chosen to come out of the Baal/Government system and close the ministry at the end of the year.
"Come out from among them and be separate," says the Lord. 2 Cor. 6:17.
NEXT STEPS IN HIS FOOTSTEPS
PRAYER MINISTRY
Many of our readers have been blessed by our incredible prayer ministers. The good news is they will continue to serve as separate ministries, growing into their individual callings and destinies. We will remain affiliated and in relationship always, supporting each other as we grow together.
THE ACADEMY
Our advanced training for SRA Ministry concluded this week for both of our learning teams. The Academy will reopen next year in a brand new wineskin! For more information about the Academy click here.
THE MISSION TO SERVE SRA SURVIVORS
As the founder of Restoration Gateway, my commitment to the mission couldn't be greater, or my passion more alive.
Chuck Pierce of Glory of Zion has said of this Hebrew year 5779, "it is a year to see the vision form in the womb and to be birthed at the right time. It is also a year to see the wineskin fully form so that the new wine can be poured out."
Look for our next newsletter with more details about the new wineskin that God is forming. We are excited to embrace all the Lord has for us in the future, and look forward to our continued partnership with you in this new calling.
“Behold, I will do a new thing! Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19)
