Pondering
2022 in the Presence of the Lord by Dr. Mary Craig
December 22, 2021, Read in teleconference January 2, 2022, "Released" January 6, 2022
The message released today is what I believe I have
received from the Holy Spirit for 2022. I have a strong sense of increased urgency to break strongholds in the
spirit realm with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This ministry is rather like the air forces that go in first to prepare the way for ground troops. To that end,
a second message (below) provides the gospel of Jesus Christ as was given to me by the Lord back in 2017 the night
before I spoke at the World Camp for Jesus (Sherry Benish Ministries) in Jerusalem at the International Convention
Center there. That message with added instructions will also provide a suggested way we can have an impact with
the Gospel and make a difference, in truth.
May the Holy Spirit hover over you and yours in 2022.

The Barnabas Project Distribution Report December,
2021
COVID-19 has continued to try to stop and discourage
the work of the LORD, but it fails. Masks or no
masks, the Living God is never restricted as to fulfilling His purposes and plans. We leave the "how"
to Him. This time, through continued prayer and seeking God's guidance, He did direct our steps. Having been doing
this since 2003, we remained flexible to change as God led us.
We were not deterred, but determined. We persevered even as the Holy Spirit provided His preserving power. People
streamed in steadily though not in a deluge kind of way. The Lord prospered those who participated, either receiving
what was freely given or helping others find good things (since most of the donations we receive are new).
The purpose of the Barnabas Distribution Project
is to bless distressed communities in the South Florida area.
Since 2003, the Barnabas Project has held distributions from Fellsmere/Vero Beach to Florida City/Homestead and
west from Fort Lauderdale to Immokalee and Belle Glade as a demonstration of the free Grace and goodness of the
Living God in honor of His greatest gift, Jesus Christ. Our intent is that families might be encouraged and given
a little boost, a tangible expression of God's love, that they might have hope....
For we are his workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus unto good works,
Which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 KJV

We were slim but strategic this time, and it took a determined an experienced team, all year collecting, Stephen
loading the truck, Jackie driving the truck, and members of MCM being on site. Much time and prayer went into this
"mission." Distribution day was the culmination of many people's efforts, from donating goods to sorting
and Stephen stacking, to meeting with donors like Lilliana, Wanda, Mary E., and Jim & Maureen to name a few
along with home ministry, and bunches of time before we had a settled location. David and Pastor Claudy helped
greatly as God guided our steps to His will. All this plus Publix!
Once again, Rev. Dr. Jacqueline Clanton agreed and purposed to have the
December distribution at New Bethel A.M.E. Church in Vero Beach (Gifford), Florida. Her determined perseverance
made all the difference as she drove from Port St. Lucie to Fort Lauderdale to rent a 16-foot Budget truck. I met
her there and then we drove to where we had stored at least 100 boxes of items, including clothing, toys, school
supplies, household items, linens, walking canes, and just all kinds of things. After Stephen loaded the truck,
Dr. Clanton headed to the church in Vero Beach. Helpers met her to offload the truck.
Saturday morning (Dec. 4), helpers came to set up the distribution. There
were fewer people, but all were experienced.
