Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
God is putting the wheels back on Aspects Ministries!
Aspects Ministries has been re-grouping for the last two years due to Bill’s retirement, a double move, and a second cancer journey. But according to God’s enablement, we are re-establishing our team and our new home offices. We seem to be slimmer, trimmer, and in some ways better than ever!
We have four major projects on the table (with more in the wings). We have not wanted to “over-promise,” but progress is now sufficient to let you know some specifics.
In order to deploy our newsletter more effectively, we are adding two new content features to the Communique.
Updates from Bill
Here is Bill without a beard and mustache for the first time in over 50 years. At least, he has a new cowboy hat!
As I write this, Bill has completed four months of intensive chemo treatment for his rare cancer, which he continues to tolerate well. In a few weeks, a PET scan will reveal where we are and what the next step in Bill’s treatment will be. We thank everyone for the many prayers offered on his behalf. He has written a series of updates about his meditations on life and death during this journey. These messages have been well received and edification to many. For this reason, we include the series on our website.
The Transgender Onslaught
Most of you are aware of the transgender delusion sweeping our country and world. This peril has been much on our minds as we regroup and plan for ministry. For this reason, we have selected the following question as the first in a series of frequently asked questions that we hope to address in the coming months.
Why has the transgender delusion become so prevalent so quickly?
Article Summary: The transgender delusion has become prevalent because it is both logical and inevitable. Built on a foundation of powerful lies in concert, it can only be countered by saints who believe the whole counsel of God and wear His whole armor.
Spanish Version of Seven Principles of Sexuality Coming Soon!
In the works for almost two years, our new Spanish version of Seven Principles of Sexuality is just about ready for launch. We are very grateful for the translation work of Monica Sernatinger, the editing of Isai Cazares, and the formatting and cover design by Kristine Vermillion. As Five Aspects supporters, please be thinking about friends and associates who minister in Spanish to whom you can give or recommend this basic work on biblical sex and gender truth. We are planning a re-launch of the English version at the same time. Hopefully, as the Lord wills and enables, both of these books will be available before Thanksgiving at a generous price reduction.
Bryan Vermillion—new team member!
Bryan Vermillion, Aspects’ new steward of archives and security. Here the men are discussing carpentry in Bill’s woodworking garage.
We are very grateful that Bryan Vermillion (Kristine’s husband) has volunteered to manage our ministry’s digital archives and their security. As Bryan saw Kristine handling multiple Aspects files in her work as an editor and designer, he felt a strong motivation to organize and preserve our work, which is a job he already does for his own business.
We are very grateful.
Closing Statements
Other projects and publications are on the table, but they can wait for the new year. In the meantime, please pray for us and the remnant in every country to believe the whole counsel of God and to put on the whole armor of light.
Grace and Peace,
Bill and Barbara
