The Purpose of this Blog
The purpose of this Blog: When my friend, Robert Shaeffer asked me to join a Facebook group for the cast of the church play, I asked: ‘What is Facebook?’ I had no idea of the power of Social Media, to stay connected with friends, family, and ministers around the world.

When my friend, Robert Shaeffer asked me to join a Facebook group for the cast of the church play, I asked: ‘What is Facebook?’
I had no idea of the power of Social Media, to stay connected with friends, family, and ministers around the world. Over the years, what began as a fun hobby, has developed into an international ministry, that is growing daily, as I bathe it in prayer, and stay faithful to what God has called me to do. This is the direction I believe I am to follow on this page.
0. To encourage us to seek first God, through Jesus, every morning, and through-out our day in everything. If you don’t yet know Him, or have wandered away somehow, please read this: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/the-gospel-the-power-of-god/
1. To encourage us to read through the Bible together every year. I currently use oneyearbibleonline.com.
2. To encourage my friends in the things of the kingdom of God, by posting quips,quotes, and devotional materials to encourage us to actually believe what we are reading that day, and to apply it to our lives through action, and prayer.
3. To encourage five fold ministry to keep on keeping on, faithfully in the call God has placed upon your lives.
4. To facilitate, wherever possible the pioneering of Bible Schools, to raise up train and equip leaders in their country in the Word of God. I do this by simply referring people to Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, OK. Presently, Victory has established over 1800 International Bible schools in 100 countries, that graduate 27,000 students each year. This number is growing monthly, with a vision to host 10,000 schools! The curriculum has been filmed and is available in video format in many languages, and translators are currently working on getting it translated into many more. The IVBI program is an incredible force for Jesus in the earth!
If you are willing to host a Bible school, please read this article: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/why-should-i-start-a-bible-school/
Or simply contact Victory directly: https://www.victory.com/outreach/ivbi
5. To field prayer requests. God is a good God, and satan is a bad devil. Hard things sometimes happen to good people. Jesus is the answer, never the problem. Daily, people inbox me prayer requests, and I spend the first several hours of my day, seeking first the kingdom of God, and believing for God’s best, each day for all of my friends on Social Media.
Prayer Requests: If you or your family need specific prayer for anything, please send us a prayer request. We as a family will pray for you today, and if you would, please let us know the wonderful ways God answers. This is a great encouragement to us.
6. To raise awareness and support for charitable purposes. We take many missions trips as a family, and these cost money. We also support an orphanage in Karimnager, India that urgently needs everything. $50 there goes a long way to simply feeding and clothing the 10 children currently living in a tin shed, and I cannot claim to love Jesus, and do nothing for orphans and the suffering in our midst.
God loves you, and so do I!
As I have thought more about this, I thought it would be good if I included the links and telephone numbers of other tremendous prayer movements in the earth.

Over the years, what began as a fun hobby, has developed into an international ministry, that is growing daily, as I bathe it in prayer, and stay faithful to what God has called me to do. This is the direction I believe I am to follow on this pageTo encourage us to read through the Bible together every year. Each day I post the Bible reading of the day.
- To encourage my friends in the things of the kingdom of God, by posting quips,quotes, and devotional materials to encourage us to actually believe what we are reading that day, and to apply it to our lives through action, and prayer.
- To encourage five-fold ministry to keep on keeping on, faithfully in the call God has placed upon your lives.
- To facilitate, wherever possible the pioneering of Bible Schools, to raise up, train and equip leaders in their country in the Word of God. I attend Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, OK.

The curriculum has been filmed and is available in video format in many languages, and translators are currently working on getting it translated into many more. If you or someone in your network would like to start a Bible school, please click on the top two links, on the lower right hand of this page, and complete the application for accreditation, and ministry reference, and return it, as quickly as possible. Together, we can impact the nations! https://www.victory.com/outreach/ivbi

Daily, people inbox prayer requests, and I spend the first several hours of my day, seeking first the kingdom of God, and believing for God’s best, each day for all of my Facebook friends.
- Testimonies: What is posted, is bathed in prayer, for you, each day. We are not just posting cute quips, quotes, and Scriptural prayers. We believe that Jesus in not only Lord, but living, active, and ever watching over His Word, to perform it with signs following. We expect prayers to be answered, daily. We love to hear testimonies of how the Lord did it for you!
- We believe that the next level of this work is to develop a website, that will post the daily devotions, and Bible readings, on as many Social Media sites as possible. I have developed the outline for what I desire this ministry site to do, but do not know how to do it. If you or someone in your organization wants to build this for the glory of God, I would be honored, grateful, and would love your help!
We have opened the second page, just for family, but if you love Jesus, and want to serve Him, this page should be one of your favorite stops!
God loves you, and so do I!
Keep Smiling!
Jesus is Lord!

I am a missionary, called to take the good news of Jesus to the nations of the world. Presently, I study in seminary at Oral Roberts University.
As I have thought about the ministries above:
If you need a great home church please consider Rhema, Victory, or IHOP, or if you like a tiny church, come to the one I attend: Harvest Family Church (AG)
If you are called to ministry please consider attending Bible college at: Victory Bible College, or Rhema (where I and my wife graduated!)
If you are considering a university, please contact Oral Roberts University, or Regent, places that include Jesus in all their studies.
Keep Smiling!

Why Should I Start a Bible School?
Starting Your Bible School
Dear Friend,
Here are the application forms to begin the process of starting your Bible School!
The first is for accreditation for your ministry with Victory.
The second is a reference letter, from people you know that can verify your ministry. We need you to find three friends that know and respect your ministry to fill these out for you.
I am excited about working with you, to see your school raised up.
Here is an article I wrote, that contains the on-line links to the application forms. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/why-should-i-start-a-bible-school/
I have taken the liberty of downloading these, and attaching them to this email, to save you time and effort.
Please complete them and return them to Victory, as soon as possible, so that we can get your school up and running.
I remain very excited, about what I know God is going to do through your ministry, as you deliberately enter into the disciplemaking process of leadership development, through your Bible school.
The fields are white unto harvest, but skilled laborers are few.
Together, we are raising up laborers for His harvest.
Keep Smiling!
Jesus is Lord!

Just a brief update on the Walsh family, and AOM Ministries:
Here is what we are working on:
1. Homeschooling Keila and Jay. That keeps Karen busy, but I teach Keila math and science.
2. Getting 100 IVBI’s off the ground by April of 2014: Here’s where we are at:
Continuing relationship and follow up with the 51 potential IVBI’s. Pastor Sam Sam has begun classes in Kisumu, Kenya, and Bishop Evans Mukwa, is scheduled to begin one this month in Kitali, Kenya.
In no particular order, here are the schools and contacts we are working on in some way, shape or form, at present:
1. Bishop Evan Mukwa – 47 schools in Kenya, on for each county.
2. Pastor Jerry Tom and his associates Ron and Tyda Harvey, of Harvest Family Ministries, in Window Rock, Az, capital of the Navajo nation.
3. Pastor Yeurchi from Samalkot,India – school in process there.
4. Evangelist and pastor from Faislabad, Pakistan,
5. Potential school with Svan Duke in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
6. Potential school with one of the five civilized tribes here in Oklahoma.
3. Social Media outreach
As most of you know, we live in a different generation. It seems that Social Media, has become far more than a trendy hobby, but now boasts at least 500 different sites, catering to a huge variety of interests, with some specific to particular nations. What began this year, as simply posting the daily Bible reading on Facebook, has now become a WordPress blog, that posts to many Social Media sites. If I could find a way to link it all 500 sites, I would do it, to broadcast the word of God as fast and as far as I possibly can.
Ro 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
What has been happening, is that these daily blogs have gone out, and Ac 6:7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied …..
I have been amazed, at how the Word of God has proven to be alive, and active, and quite capable of going places I cannot go(countries closed to the gospel), and reaching people (I hear back from them by email and messages) that I would not have targeted. These Bible studies, pictures, and posts get copied, shared, forwarded, and there is no way to tell how far this daily blog reaches. In the midst of this, I send out an article explaining the need for Bible schools, and for much of the year, I was receiving 3-5 inquiries/week from interested international leaders, who I diligently follow up with, to see if it is possible to get them qualified and accredited with Victory. If I can get them through the application process, Victory has been graciously donating the entire IVBI curriculum to their ministries, a wonder to behold. By mentoring and staying in relationship with international ministries, I endeavor to keep them encouraged, motivated, and moving forward in the process of hosting their own Bible college.
Whether we pioneer a new one, or simply encourage someone to graduate from an existing one, means little to me for my passion is to see the kingdom of God advance, and it is only as leaders are trained, equipped, and set down deep roots in the Word of God, that they can be effective to not only stand against the onslaughts of hell unleashed in this generation, but to victoriously take the gospel to the ends of the earth, with a corresponding demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s signs, wonders, and miracles.
Bible school helps us discover our individual destinies in Him, the life we we born to live! If you didn’t have a chance, please read my article on YOUR Great Commission: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/your-great-commission-embracing-your-destiny-2/
Presently, Victory presently has over 1500 IVBI’s in 98 nations with 32,000 students currently enrolled! It is such a privilege to be part of a vision much bigger than any one of us could do individually.
At church one day, I heard pastor Sharon Daugherty mention that she had heard of a secular group who had a vision of placing a solar powered smart phone in the hands of every human being on planet earth, by the year 2015.
Here in America, Social Media, is a neat trend among this generation, but in many developing countries (Africa, India, Pakistan), it is simply better to carry a smartphone than a laptop, because of intermittent electricity, and internet. Many international business men find that cell phone service is much more reliable and affordable than this.
The goal is 6 days/week, to post the Victory Daily Bible Reading, and a daily Devo.
Presently, we post this on: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linked In, Pinterest, Tumblr, Digg, Stumbleon, and Path, with the intentional purpose, of adding many, many more in 2014.
If you know anyone that would like to help with this, I would love their wisdom and counsel. It is my dream to be able to simply produce the devotional material, then have a tech-savvy person do all the posting. Perhaps I could train one of my children to do this, as they are very computer savvy.
Parable of the Sower:- Well, I discover that I am responsible to steward the revelation that is in that book, and though it is now published, I feel the next step is to distribute 50 copies to both pastoral staff, and men’s prayer group at Victory Christian Center, and to get a copy into the bookstore and public library. Costs $300.00, I Could use your help to do this.
Kingdom Business Outreach – As you know, in 2012 we filmed 12 episodes of KBO, with the intention of producing 25 episodes to be translated into initially 4 languages (Telegu, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese). These were not high enough quality for release on public television, so we decided to get a quote from Gene Stiener, to produce all 25 x ½ hour episodes, with translation included. He quoted us $13,000.00 to help produce, film, edit and translate all these episodes. If you haven’t seen it yet, nor understand what this is, view the trailer here:
I have disciplined myself to do many things each day, having learned clearly, that small, disciplined daily lifestyle changes, produce far greater results in the long run, than any passionate, short term pursuit.
Again, I would highly recommend two books, ‘The Slight Edge’ by Jeff Olsen, and ‘The Compound Effect’ by Darren Hardy to describe how you too, can maximize your impact, by setting some simple principals in motion. Both of these books are available both on-line at Amazon.com, or if you are not sure you want to purchase them yet, they can be borrowed through the Tulsa Public Library. I am continually in the word of God and prayer, and aggressively studying the various topics that Holy Spirit accents. This month I am studying the Cherokee History Course, which is really the history of Oklahoma, and the five civilized tribes. I am beginning to study the historic roots of racism here that I might effectively pray against it, with understanding. So much to learn….I am passionate to grow, to know, to understand, then to accent various truths uncovered, to build bridges in the kingdom of God – Blessed are the peacemakers…
The research for this has resulted in some interesting articles. As I study the plight of the North American Indian, I sometimes feel more red man, than white: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/reading-the-bible-with-red-mans-eyes/
Education: It is my desire to apply for and complete a Masters in Divinity from Oral Roberts University. Guess the first step, is simply applying…
Kingdom Business Outreach:
KBTO Promo:
As many of you know, we filmed 12 episodes of Kingdom Business Outreach last year with Joseph Raj from Victory, as an evangelistic outreach to business owners. It is to be translated into the Telegu language, for airing in India, with Dr. Wesley, to be aired on his television network that hosts 100 million viewers. There is discussion of my travelling to India second week of February. I did take the liberty of costing out a flight, and forwarding it to Dr. Wesley (around $1600). My faith for this trip is simple: If the money is there, so that my family are provided for while I am gone, I will go. Otherwise, it will wait..Where He leads, He feeds, Where He guides, He provides…
Financial Needs: AOM Ministries: Jan 2014

Laborers! The Cry of Heaven!
Laborers – The Cry of Heaven!
It’s Harvest Time!
With over 7 billion people on planet earth, and only around 2.5 billion Christians, Jesus is aggressively pressing this generation into His harvest fields, already white, ripe, and ready to reap!
The gospel is the plan of God, He has no plan ‘B’. There are not many paths to God, as some suggest, but Jesus is the only way, the truth, and life, the only mediator between man and God, there is no other name given men under heaven, by which men MUST be saved.
Matt 9:35 ¶ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Every time I step out and do something for God, I discover that there is always much more to be done. I find myself thinking: ‘Am I the only one who sees these people’s needs? Why are not more people helping?
Then I realize that it is because people do not know the Word of God yet, and so are blindly going through life from crisis to crisis, calamity to calamity, with often no thought about their eternal purpose, and God’s plan for them.
https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/your-great-commission-embracing-your-destiny/
In Luke’s gospel, we see the prodigal, who comes to his senses, and who headed home to work as a slave if he could. Luke 15: 17 “when he came to himself,”
Such a simple phrase, yet so rich in implication. Around the world, prayer movements have been raised up, and the blinders are coming off people’s eyes, and that deep itch in their heart, that never quite gets scratched, no matter how fit we get, how great our relationships appear, how successful we become in academia or our career, how much money we make, there is still the deep question we must all face: Why am I here?
And then, “ What am I supposed to be doing with my life?”
Well, in short, you are created by design, to know, love, and worship God forever. Only He can meet the deepest needs of any human heart. You have a destiny, eternal worth and purpose, yet it is for you to fully discover and embrace the life you were born to live!
Secondly, you are to become part of the great commission, that is going into all the world, and making disciples of Jesus. These is no true joy, or eternal value, in anything else.
The question I have been asking myself: is my time best spent in prayer, that people come to themselves, and begin to seek first Jesus and His kingdom, or do I invest my time in teaching, and preaching the principals of the Word, training and equipping folks with life lessons, that are eternal?
Answer: Both!
I spend much time in my day, praying, and seeking the face of God for my life, then spending time praying for friends, families, governments, and ministries seeking to implement the kingdom of God in the earth.
At Victory Christian Center, where we attend church as a family for many years, (We are presently helping out in a church plant in North Tulsa: Zoe Life Church of Tulsa) I see a tremendous vehicle raised up in terms of the international Bible schools. The two year course of study, has been translated into many languages. The curriculum gives pastors and Christian leaders an effective tool for training, developing, and equipping their own leaders, and releasing them into their callings in the earth. They can now be trained in their own country, language, and culture, without having to incur the huge expenses associated with having them come to the USA, to receive the exact same training!
If you have not yet attended a Bible school, and become grounded in the Word of God, you might consider it, as the next step on your eternal journey through life. Victory Bible College here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the USA, offers many, many ways to complete your training through day, night, correspondence, and on-line courses.
“I’m too busy!”you say, or, “There is no way I have enough time”
So I will ask you this simple question: “If time and money were no object, would you be interested in attending Bible school?”
If you hear Holy Spirit whisper to your heart, His gentle “Yes!”, then please contact Victory Bible College, for more information, here: http://www.vbitulsa.com/
If you live outside the United States, please read my article on why you might consider pioneering a Bible school in your country. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/why-should-i-start-a-bible-school/
This is one of the main things I have devoted my life to, and I will gladly help you, where possible, to raise up a school in your community. Many pastors, who have never had the privilege of attending a formal Bible training program, attend courses, in their own church, and go through the material with members of their congregation, becoming the first graduates of the program!
They stand amazed at not only what God has done through them, through His Word, but through their ministries, as key members of their ministries, become empowered through the same training, to become servant leaders, and strong spiritual supports to the work!
If you, your church, or community might be interested in starting your own Bible school, please read the following article: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/why-should-i-start-a-bible-school
Let’s pray
‘Father, please train and equip me in your Word! Show me the balance of life, in growing, flowing, and knowing your kingdom. May I not settle into complacency, but constantly press towards the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, committed to growth, without compromise! If you want me to attend a Bible school, please show me. If you want me to start one, please show me, in your name I pray Lord Jesus, Amen’
