impact christmas newsletter 2025

​I honestly wrestled with where to begin writing this newsletter. This year has been joyous, busy, and at times heart wrenching, but through it all I have learned the art of contentment. Contentment is simply to sit in His presence. This brings great clarity, comfort, and peace that truly does pass all our understanding.
 
I have wrestled with seeing many friends sick and struggling on many fronts. While I have enjoyed amazing health and stamina, I somehow felt apprehensive about sharing the goodness of God while others around me were really struggling physically. I have continued to believe God and His word concerning divine health and healing.
I have witnessed God doing a deep work within His people. While I did not have answers for everyone, I knew that He was teaching us His ways. While the children of Israel wanted to see the miracles of God, it was Moses who wanted to know His ways. In the book of Isaiah, it clearly tells us that His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways.

People really matter. Churches may come and go, and ministries may rise and fall, but it’s the relationships we build that really bring fulfillment to our lives. This past year Patricia King and Wendy Peter commissioned me to be the Director of Women on the Front Lines for the U.S. We established a monthly glory prayer hub in our region and commissioned several others to do so in other states. We had our first event in Tennessee in April. We held another event in South Dakota in the fall, and in March of this coming year, we will be hosting the WOFL Global Conference at my home church of New Day the Church at High Point in Colfax, NC. It is going to be an amazing time of ministry! Please go to https://www.wofl.org/upcoming-events to register. Registration is filling up very quickly and seats are limited. We are excited to host Patricia King, James Goll, Wendy Peter, and many others.

I taught at our apostolic school ministry each week with WOFL. We are getting ready to commission, license and ordain some of those who went through the school. I love teaching the school of the prophets as I have done over the last 20 years. I am also providing online prophetic training for my Impact partners monthly. I continue to hold many online prayer meetings globally, as well as locally. I continue to work with Stacey Campbell as part of the leadership team for Shiloh Global, an amazing army of prophetic voices reaching all spheres of society.

I continue to minister and travel, but I have limited it to ministering where I have established covenantal relationships. I continue to support and align with those on the ground working with anti-sex trafficking. I have the opportunity to go back to Thailand in the fall of 2026 to continue the work of ministering on the streets of Bangkok and supporting the mission there.

All of this is possible because of the prayerful support of all of you. There are wonderful things in store for 2026 so let’s get ready to go beyond what we think is possible and let God do it! I have a prophetic word to share the week after Christmas but let me say that we are going where we haven’t been before! It’s an exciting time and I’m happy to be on the journey with all of you!  
 
I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The best is yet to come!
 
Love,
Ruth
