Wow, what an experience the year 2020 brought to the world. Let us believe God the issues of the past year remain just that, in the past. It reminds me of the scripture, Philippians 3: 12-14
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Now 2020 is not exactly what this scripture is about, it is just that it references forgetting the past and us moving on with 2021. So, what is new for Crenshaw Christian Center (CCC) and Ever Increasing Faith Ministries (EIFM) in the new year? For starters, in California, we remain restricted from holding in-person services for the time being. Therefore, we remain online, using the latest technology to provide multiple streams of our Sunday service and our Tuesday morning and evening Bible Studies. In doing so, we have created a new audience. For some, the mere idea of watching video on a computer or mobile device was foreign. But, as they say, necessity is the mother of invention. We had no choice but to air online or disappear altogether.
You have all responded to our situation in a most pleasant way. Your online support has been fantastic. That has allowed us to increase our technical ability to reach even more people, just like you, to receive the Gospel from Ever Increasing Faith Ministries. Our 24/7, EIFM On Demand service is blossoming as well. Almost every message that was ever taught at CCC and EIF, is now available on the On Demand platform and we continue to upload new and exciting messages. Currently, we are adding exclusive teaching that can only be viewed on EIFM On Demand. It is now available on your mobile devices and your Smart Televisions. EIFM On Demand can now be found in the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, ROKU and more. Now you have Ever Increasing Faith Ministries in your pocket or purse, wherever you go. We can do this because you are helping to make it happen.

You may have noticed EIFTV is not as widely seen on traditional television as it once was. It is a new day. Although we continue to maintain a TV presence, we acknowledge that times are changing and more of you are watching when it is convenient for you. To see a list of where EIFM can be viewed, click or go to: https://www.faithdome.org/watcheif/. Now that we are temporarily not in the FaithDome, you may wonder how to continue to support the ministry, financially. Fortunately, we have a myriad of ways: https://www.faithdome.org/donate/, Amazon Alexa (Say, “Alexa donate”), Text to Give (Text your amount to 28950) and 800-927-EIFM (Call 24/7).
Once the quarantine is over, we have more good things to look forward to. One is our rescheduled, Mediterranean and Holy Land cruise. We are believing God that by this October, the world will be better able to handle the pandemic and allow us to finally take this luxurious and informative, spiritual journey.
Apostle Price and Dr. Betty, aka dad and mom, are still enjoying the fruit of many years in ministry and sharing it with their family. They are aging gracefully and remain full of the word of God. We are looking forward to building on the legacy of Apostle Price and Dr. Betty with new brand specific offerings for both. You may have noticed that the TCT and Word Networks are dedicated to all Apostle Price, all the time. That is just the beginning of Ever Increasing Faith honoring the legacy of this Godfather in the Faith.
We have made a special effort to open new channels of communication to reach the next generation. Today you can find us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and more. We have created a cutting-edge experience with EIFM On Demand and CCC Sunday sermons.
Your love gift of support today will equip us to continue to go across the world and teach the word of God. We appreciate so very much your investment in this work and I also want to remind you that when you plant seeds of faith into fertile soil—which Ever Increasing Faith Ministries certainly is—you can confidently expect to reap a wonderful harvest.
When you send your love gift today, I will send you a very helpful Scripture Card, designed to be your guide in a time of need. It is a forever keepsake just for you. I also encourage you to share your prayer needs for 2021 with us so that we can agree with you in prayer. When we agree in prayer, things happen. The same God who has guided us this past year and provided for us all these years has not changed; nor will He ever change. He remains faithful. Our task is to believe what He says and act upon it. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
In the Service of the King,

PS: David said, "I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread." (Psalm 37:25) God is just as faithful now as He has always been. When we believe what He says and act upon it, Our Heavenly Father responds with His blessings. I am so thankful for your friendship and support. You are a vital part of this great ministry. I encourage you to stand on the word of God. I can’t say it enough, you are helping to make it happen.
