Amazing Grace Church of Deliverance
5th Year Anniversary
From the Heart of Your Pastor
Dr. Carline Brooks
To Our Partners, Family & Friends
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you."
Philippians 1:3
To Every Partner, Every Family Member, and Every Friend of Amazing Grace,
I need you to understand something before you read another word.
You matter to this ministry more than you will ever fully know.
When God gave me the vision for Amazing Grace Church of Deliverance, I knew I could not do it alone. I knew that behind every thriving ministry there are people who may never stand behind a pulpit, may never sing on a platform, may never be seen by the crowd but without whom none of it would be possible. That is you. That has always been you.
And on this 5th Anniversary, I refuse to let this moment pass without looking you in the eye and saying from the deepest place in my heart, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights."
James 1:17
You are a gift. A God-sent, heaven-assigned gift to this ministry and to me personally.
To our Partners the ones who have sowed financially, prayerfully, and faithfully into the vision God placed in my heart. There were moments when the bills were due and the need was real, and God moved through your hands to make sure this ministry could keep its doors open and its lights on. You may never fully see in this lifetime the souls that were reached, the lives that were changed, and the families that were restored because you said yes to partnering with Amazing Grace. But God keeps perfect records, and your reward is sure.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19
That is His promise to you. Because you met our needs, He will meet yours. I speak that over your life, your household, your finances, your health, and your future right now in the name of Jesus.
To our Family the ones connected to us by blood and by love. The ones who cheered us on from the very beginning. The ones who showed up to our very first service, our conferences, our revivals and our special events not because you had to, but because you believed in what God was doing. Your support has meant more to me than I have the words to express. There were days when family was the only phone call that kept me going, the only voice that reminded me of who God called me to be. You have been my strength when I was weak, and my joy when I was weary.
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."
Proverbs 17:17
You have proven that scripture over and over again in my life, and I am forever grateful.
To our Friends of Amazing Grace — those who may worship elsewhere but have never stopped supporting what God is doing here. The ones who share our events, who speak well of this ministry, who send people our way because they know Amazing Grace is a place of genuine love and transformation. You are covenant friends, and God has used your faithfulness in ways that you may not even be aware of. Every kind word you spoke on our behalf, every post you shared, every person you sent our way heaven recorded it all.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
You have helped us up more times than you know.
I want you to hear my heart right now. Pastoring is one of the most beautiful and one of the most challenging assignments God can place on a person's life. There are joys that are indescribable and there are burdens that are heavy. But what makes it all worth it what makes me wake up every single day and say "Yes Lord, I will go again" is the knowledge that I am not doing this alone.
You are with me.
And because you are with me, because you have stood with this ministry, prayed with this ministry, given to this ministry and loved this ministry I can stand here on our 5th Anniversary with my head held high and my faith stronger than ever and declare that God has been faithful.
Not just faithful. Exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond faithful.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us."
Ephesians 3:20
We have only just begun. The next chapter of Amazing Grace is going to be greater than anything we have seen in these first five years. More souls. More healing. More breakthrough. More overflow. And I want you to know that you will share in every blessing that God pours out on this ministry because you helped build it.
So as we celebrate today, I want you to celebrate yourself. Celebrate your faithfulness. Celebrate your sacrifice. Celebrate the fact that you heard the voice of God and you responded. That is not a small thing. That is a Kingdom thing.
I love you with a love that is real, that is genuine, and that is rooted in the heart of God. You are not just partners, family and friends to Amazing Grace.
You are part of our miracle.
Happy 5th Anniversary to every one of you who has walked this journey with us. We could not have done it without you, and we would not want to.
"The LORD bless you and keep you. The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace."
Numbers 6:24-26
That is my prayer over every person reading these words today. Be blessed. Be covered. Be favored. And know that your investment in Amazing Grace Church of Deliverance has made an eternal difference.
To God be ALL the Glory
Now and forevermore. 🙌🏾
"For such a time as this."
Esther 4:14
With a Heart Full of Love and Gratitude
