Make It Clear Ministries

• About a year ago Carol and I became part of a leadership team to plant a non-denominational Bible teaching church here in the mountains of Blue Ridge, GA. This is in addition to what we continue to do with Make It Clear Ministries and Uniquely You Ministries. It is thrilling to see how the Lord keeps bringing unsaved people into our midst and then seeing them come to faith in Christ. The name of the church is Crossover Community Church and is growing rapidly. We are concentrating on disciple-making teams to work with the new Christians.
  
• Carol serves as Associate Women's Ministries Coordinator at the church, providing training for the pastor's wife and other ladies in the church. She also does some of the teaching at special ladies events. Her God given talent in creating country crafts is being fully used and displayed in our community.
  
• I share the preaching at the church with another godly man. He has not had any Bible College or seminary training, so twice each week I am mentoring him in Scripture and church leadership. My other responsibilities at the church include teaching theology and equipping all the leadership in biblical servant leadership principles. This Sunday I will begin a series called, "Each One Reach One." It will be an exposition of Colossians 1:27b - 29 and 4:2 - 6.
  
• I continue to train the leadership team of a Baptist church in Blairsville, GA that includes the roles of deacons and maybe future elders. This church has a very godly, humble pastor with a true servant's heart. They are blessed to have such person to shepherd them. Next I will conduct Maximum Marriage Training for selected couples in that church.
  
• On April 26, I will conduct an all-day Building Men of Integrity Conference for about four churches in the North Georgia Mountains. The main thrust will be on how to build men of integrity through a vibrant men's ministry.
  
• The Lord has opened up the door for me to lead vision-casting sessions for the Blue Ridge Business Association, Chamber of Commerce, Arts Association, and soon City Council. What is so amazing is before I begin the training I am asked to start each session with prayer. I can see opportunities for more community penetration with the gospel. In fact one lady working on the board of the chamber of commerce and another on the board of the Business Association have started coming to our church.
  

• I suggest you go to our website www.makeitclear.org and click on "Schedule". It will show all the locations, dates, and events at which I am currently scheduled to speak. I am very grateful to the Lord for the faithful work of our webmaster Syd Wyncoop in La Mirada, CA who keeps our website up-to-date when I give him my latest schedule. For more details please call Carol and me at 706-492-5262 or e-mail StanPonz@MakeItClear.org.
  
• I continue to teach, write and edit resource material for Uniquely You Ministries. We have four new Profiles available...Team Building and Conflict Resolution; Leadership; Something More, and soon to be released, Personal Spiritual Improvement Survey. You may go to our website www.uniquelyyou.com for more information.
  
• On a side note...through our associate in Singapore, NATO has now approved our Professionals Profile to be used with their leaders.
  

• We still lead our weekly home Bible study called NEW COMMUNITY as we study the book of Ephesians from a leadership point of view.
  
• The Lord continues to grace us with great health and stamina for which we are very grateful.
  
• Words cannot describe how special and wonderful it is to serve the Lord side-by-side with your mate. We spend nearly every morning together in God's Word and prayer and then after the events of the day, most evenings we reflect on what the Lord did that day.
  

1. Carol and I personally pray for you. Our hearts and home are ALWAYS open to you. So please come and visit us or reach out to us at any time. We are as close to you as your telephone!
   
2. We want you to know how truly grateful we are to the Lord for your prayers and financial support. We serve at the pleasure of our Savior and He is so good to supply our every need. Often through people just like you!
   
3. As Resurrection Sunday draws near (April 20th) begin NOW to speak about the real reason we celebrate Easter - the resurrection of our living Savior Who made the complete payment for our sins and provides us salvation by grace alone through our faith alone in Christ alone. After all Easter (Resurrection Sunday) is really...all about Jesus!
