July - August, 2006 Dear Friends and Faithful Benefactors of WorldScope Ministries: Greetings to you from your Missionary Family. This has been both a time of great trial and blessing as well. My father, Dr. William J. Roberts is now in a nursing home near my residence, living "one day at a time". His life has been in the "balance" for these two months especially and we know that our Lord's timing is perfect. We can only trust Him to give my father continual peace and rest in his mind and spirit - awaiting his "higher calling" very soon. I have been amazed to feel both the presence of our Lord and the very special graces for our on-going ministry and especially our radio work. In the Bible we read from Eclesiastes 4:9-12 these words of encouragement as we our faithful friends and partners continue to minister together. "Two are better than one for they receive a goood wage for their labor. If one falls, the other will lift up his companion. Woe to the solitary man. For if he should fall, he has no one to lift him up. So also, if two sleep together, they keep each other warm. How can one alone keep warm? Where a lone man may be overcome, two together ean resist., A three-ply cord is not easily broken." ( Eccl. 4:9-12 ) These three truths come to my mind most especially .... I. THE SATISFACTION of having lived and worked in union with each other and our Lord. Eccl. 3:13 "For every man, moreover,, to eat and drink and enjoy the fruit of all his labor is a Gift of God". We celebrate the fruit of our labor - both the years of ministry with my father but also knowing That his legacy is part of our on-going evangelistic ministry. Especially we look forward to July 29-30 of this month of July, celebrating 32 years with our hispanic people coming to Los Angeles for Carisma in Missions's annual Renewal and Evangelization at the Shrine Auditorium. (For more Information see the web site www.Carismaenmisiones.com) When our Lord allows us to "catch the dream" to proclaim the good news, we are determined to complete the work He has given to us. Personally it is hard for me to hear of those who would complain, expressing negative attitudes or even pride in regards to the work of the Lord. My Father is a wonderful example of one blessed. Yesterday he spoke to me in his feeble words saying "I have done everything I could do, Alelluya". II. HEAT OF BEING TOGETHER A. Spiritual Heat - Romans 12:11 "Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord." This spiritual heat is as FIRE of the Spirit, which consumes us and fills us with fervor living and working together for our Lord. B. Passion - in order to use the gifts the Lord has given to us and continue to learn and develop our talents together. C. Spiritual Gifts - II Timothy 1:16 (St. Paul to Timothy) "For this reason I remind you to stir into Flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands." When we receive the gifts of the Spirit, we are filled with our Lord's love and compassion for His people. III. SPIRITUAL WARFARE Eccl. 4:12 "Where a lone man may be overcome, two together can resist. A three-ply cord is not easily broken." In order to maintain our strength for the work of our Lord, we must recognize the disguise of the Enemy - his purposes to destroy everything God has given to His people and to believe that with A three-fold cord, you and I with Jesus Christ can be victorious over any obstacle in our way. Ephesians 6:11-12 "Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against The tactics of the devil, For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens." We are entering a very precise era for the days ahead in the work of evangelization. We know that we are very blessed to live at this time and we unite in prayer and on-going desire to allow our Lord to use us in the power of the Holy Spirit and to live "his dream" in us to give our world His love, promise of salvation, healing and hope with every ounce of energy He would give to us. May God continue to bless and encourage you in Christ's love. Please continue to allow us as your ministry family to continue the work of WorldScope ministries wherever He would send us. We thank you for your ongoing prayers and much needed support. Your servant in Christ, Dr. Marilynn Kramar, President |

June 2006 Dear Friends and Benefactors of World Scope Ministries, May this letter be a special reminder of our Lord's faithfulness to us - especially in this season of Pentecost. After the resurrection of Jesus we especially remember His promise to us... "He will glorify me because He will take what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you He will take from what is mine and declare it to you." This is "Good News'. We receive what is promised to us as his children and with His Spirit upon us, we are able to carry out Christ's mission throughout the World. We have celebrated together the fulfillment of this promise by allowing the Holy Spirit to awaken us and have asked for a greater annointing of the Holy Spirit for this day and time. I have prayed especially for you and our immediate family in this "transition" time of my father Dr. William Roberts. He is now in a nursing home near me and is receiving much care. He can now only smile and with some words share his love and blessing for us all. He celebrated his 97th birthday June 1 and continues to repeat the words..."I am blessed". When we think of the words of the Psalmist, Psalm 116:12, "How shall I repay the Lord for all the good He has done for me?", we praise our Lord for the blessings of life and ministry, and ask the Holy Spirit to be our constant strength until we are with Jesus in Glory. As his daughter, the legacy that he has passed on to me in ministry and life is great and also to my missionary family, Carisma in Missions. During the past month we were privileged to minister to our hispanic people in Colorado, Georgia, and also gave retretas for addictive familias and evangelistic rallies and retreats here in the Los Angeles area. My daughter Kimberly Gonzalez shares the good news on a two hour television program in Mexico City each week, which by satellite is reaching many of the Latin American countries. Also during the month of May she was invited to preach retreats in Italy. We have also set up my father's personal recording studio at my residence for on-going radio ministry. We look forward during the month of July to celebrate Carisma in Missions's 32nd annual Convention for the spanish speaking people. Representatives attend from many countries as well as those living in many parts of the United States. The "Encuentro Latino", as it is known, has been an instrument in the Lord's hands for many years and has called thousands of our hispanic people to the Lord and to many ministries throughout the church. My father has always been present, upholding us and has been a special inspiration for all. This celebration will be held July 29-30 at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. If you would like further information feel free to call us 323-260-7031 or 818-243-4740. As you can receive with me the blessings of our Lord in ministry, you may also know of our on-going ministry with you as our partners. Thank you so very much for your many prayers and support for this wonderful outreach which God has given to us. Your friend in Christ, Dr. Marilynn Kramar |
