"We are rejoicing to be
Poured Out For The Nations!"
Philippians 2:17

 

Dear Poured Out Followers of Our Lord Jesus,

As some of you know, this ministry Poured Out for the Nations is a division of the umbrella ministry Watch Therefore Ministries. It represents our Lord’s gospel and discipleship calling of taking the gospel to the nations of the world. Apostle Paul, who was in prison for the gospel of Christ, was aware of the danger of the new Philippian disciples being overwhelmed by Paul’s imprisonment. So, here is what Paul told them:

“Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.” Philippians 2:17

This is the same Paul who told the Philippians and others to rejoice no matter what, even writing from jail for the gospel’s sake, again I say rejoice! This is the same Apostle Paul who was beaten, stoned, and much more and kept going in his faith in Christ Jesus. How and why? It is because he was eagerly preparing and waiting for our King Messiah Jesus to come for him and them in his day, and we should feel the same in our day! Consider these passages that proves the point:

“For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:22-23

If the earth was groaning in birth pains in Paul’s day consider the end of this age birth pains our Savior spoke of in Matthew 24:7-8—those of our day:

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (“sorrows” old English for birth pains). Matthew 24:7-8

These birth pains along with so many other prophetic end of this age signs surround us today. That being said, let’s get back to the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:

“For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:22-23

We in Christ Jesus, who have the Holy Spirit pointing us to eternity, even we groan within ourselves—and are to be eagerly waiting—for what? The final stage of adoption and redemption. We have been adopted/redeemed, are being adopted/redeemed, and will be finally adopted/redeemed at the Rapture! This is when our lowly bodies are glorified for eternity! We are to be every day—eagerly waiting for the Rapture of the church—oh Hallelujah!

Look at what Paul tells those same Philippians I mentioned earlier:

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” Philippians 3:20-21

Way too often we forget about our true, eternal, and our most meaningful citizenship. This old world in its darkness and sinful Christless-ness is not my eternal home. My citizenship is first and foremost HEAVENLY!

Again, Paul addresses this very painful truth—these bodies are dying and decaying right in front of us. This is a very real reminder that we have lowly sin-sick bodies—but not to worry! Our lowly bodies, whether above or below ground—will be conformed to His glorious resurrected body!!! How is this possible? This is possible ONLY because our great God and Resurrected Savior Jesus died on the cross for our sins and truly is risen indeed!

Because our Savior Jesus defeated sin and the grave He is able even to subdue all things—including our dying bodies to Himself. He will make us like Himself all the way! We are being changed inwardly every day as, and if, we cooperate with our Heavenly Father’s grace in Christ Jesus! So here is the question: Are you eagerly waiting? If not please say a prayer now to make that right with our Savior Jesus—and start now—eagerly waiting for the Rapture!!!

PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO PRAY AND HELP AS THE LORD LEADS:

• Our monthly commitments to our African and Indian pastors/ministers
• Our monthly Watch Therefore TV financial commitments—and they are whoppers!
• Our June India missions trip which will be detailed in next month’s letter

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: We are so very thankful for our Lord Jesus raising up faithful prayer and financial partners to this Kingdom work—we couldn’t do it without you—THANK YOU!

In His service,

Dear Poured Out for Messiah Jesus Friends and Ministry Partners,

Can you imagine—2025?! Well, here we are and I have some Bible passages and thoughts that I pray bless and prepare you to prosper in the Kingdom of Christ Jesus in 2025. Consider that word “prosper” and how it has been made worldly and unfruitful in the body of Christ—compared to its true meaning.

“By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.”
Hebrews 11”17-19

Eliezer was Abraham’s servant who was sent out to find a bride for Isaac. The Bible tells us Isaac was Abraham’s only begotten son. In ancient times the father would choose a bride for his son—yet Abraham was too old to do so for Isaac so he sent his trusted oldest servant to go looking for Isaac’s bride.

Our spiritual earthly father Abraham sent his servant on an errand—about a two-week journey back to his people to find a bride to bring to Isaac. This journey would be through a wilderness with potential dangers and distractions. But Eliezer was undeterred and made it all the way to Mesopotamia—the city of Nahor.

“Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
Genesis 24:1-4

Eliezer prayed at a well that the bride for Isaac would come to the well—and do certain things at the well to identify her as Isaac’s bride. And there came Rebekah and she did just those things proving her to be a bride for Isaac! Eliezer then recounts to Rebekah’s family regarding his errand and journey.

See these two passages—one involves the prayer Abraham prayed over his servant and the other the prayer of Eliezer at the well looking for Isaac’s bride:

But he said to me, ‘The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s house. Genesis 24:40

“And this day I came to the well and said, “O LORD God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go…”
Genesis 24:42

Do you see it? The prosperity of Father Abraham’s servant was all wrapped up in his finding a bride for Isaac! Our Heavenly Father has sent us on a heavenly errand—to find a bride for His only begotten Son Jesus. The success—prosperity—for us in this life is doing just that!

At the home of Rebekah’s family, in hospitality, they wanted to feed Eliezer—look at his response pertaining to his errand to bring a bride back to Isaac.

“Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told about my errand.” And he said, “Speak on.” Genesis 24:43

We, on our heavenly errand to reach precious souls who will be part of the bride of Christ Jesus should be just as focused and undeterred! Consider these expressions of heavenly prosperity—they have little to do with money, riches, or anything of this life. True prosperity is a result of heavenly investing! And I’m not talking about money!

What is the most valuable thing on the earth—is it gold, silver, precious commodities for which so many are spending their lives investing? The value of anything on earth is measured by what someone will pay for it. What is the most expensive thing anyone has paid for? Peter the apostle has the answer:

“And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
1 Peter 1:17-19

The most expensive thing on earth are precious souls who have been paid for with/by the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ! The best way to prosper in 2025 is to invest in the most valuable item on earth—souls with whom we share the good news of our Savior Jesus! And since the price has already been paid—2025 should be a year where we recognize that we have been sent out to find a bride for our Heavenly Father’s only begotten Son—King Messiah Jesus!

Please consider joining me this year on mission—on our heavenly errand being POURED OUT FOR THE NATIONS!

Please join us in prayer and financially supporting: Watch Therefore TV, Gospel Outreach in Africa and India and much much more!!!

Dear Poured Out Disciples of Messiah Jesus,

This is our year end letter and what a fruitful year! If I would sum it up in one word here it is— DISCIPLESHIP! And that is obedience to our Savior Jesus because He gave us a great commission, which if not done would be a terrible omission! Listen to our Resurrected Savior in His own words:

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying,
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.” Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

CHURCH PLANT

I am the pastor of Watch Therefore Community Fellowship (WTCF) which we officially started in 2023. I will share more about it in next month’s letter. A church plant like this is just the kind of place to pour out one’s life for the faith of others. It is a great way to follow in the footsteps of Apostle Paul. It has been a pleasure to labor in the word of the true and living God and to love and disciple His precious children in this church in 2024!

WATCH THEREFORE UGANDA AFRICA PASTORS & CHURCH MINISTRY LEADERS CONFERENCE

Amazingly, we invited and assembled in Kampala, Uganda pastors and church ministry leaders from eight African countries: Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, DR Congo, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Tanzania.

The conference was such a smashing success! By the end of our special week the attendees were so very happy in Christ Jesus. After the teachings, they were so very happy and thankful. Most of them did not understand these times and that we should be ready any moment for our Savior Jesus to come for us. The powerful testimonies were incredible and our Savior Jesus was glorified and lifted up!

Think for a moment of the significance of this conference. These pastors and church leaders have taken this end of this age message back to their churches to spread the message: Watch Therefore and Be Ready—King Jesus is coming for us any moment!

---

WATCH THEREFORE TV PROGRAM

Truly, this Watch Therefore message is so very important. Sadly, many Christians have never learned or have forgotten that our soon (and anytime) coming for us Savior wants to reward His people with crowns. Yet, He has them ready for those who walk out their faith with those crowns in view!

Many crowns are available for us in heaven after the Rapture. That being true, could one crown prepare us to receive other crowns? You see, if we are so happy that our Lord is returning for us to take us back to the place He has been preparing for us (John 14:1-3) we will watch for Him and prepare in ways that will help us receive other crowns! What crown is associated with us being happy that our Lord Jesus is coming for us? It is the crown associated with being “poured out” for the nations!

“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Do you see it? Those who pour out their lives serving others by faith in Messiah Jesus along with those who love our Lord’s appearing—these receive the Crown of Righteousness!

ONGOING MONTHLY AFRICAN/INDIAN PASTORS/MINISTERS SUPPORT

Every month we help support pastors and ministry leaders in Africa and one very special Bishop who oversees 2,000 churches in India. The countries represented are Kenya, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, and India!

---

Here are a few closing thoughts:

I want to give a BIG thank you to our Lord Jesus for calling me to this exciting and challenging ministry—it certainly causes me to walk by faith which is the best way to live! And, I would like to thank anyone reading this letter who has prayerfully/financially supported our work—truly we are ministry partners.

For those who would prayerfully consider a year end gift to help with our end of this age/prophetic work—please know the costs of such work is very expensive. The gospel is free—but spreading it and discipleship is very costly. I can’t do this alone and I trust our Savior Jesus is raising up precious partners that we might together get ready for those crowns.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT IN 2024!

In His service,
Dov Schwarz
