Report of Pastoral Activities
Assistant Pastor Matthew Rose
May 17, 2005 – May 16, 2006
It has been my privilege to minister to and with the Hess Road Wesleyan Church for a third year. I have sensed God’s leading for me to serve, the affirmation of the congregation, and personal joy in exercising my passion for God within the context of this local church body.
My role as Assistant Pastor did not change dramatically from this time last year. My main responsibilities were to share in teaching ministries and pastoral care. It has been my honor to serve alongside Pastor Joe Payne who has exhibited himself as a visionary leader for this body of believers.
This year I began teaching Sunday School each week. The class has experienced growth as we discussed Paul’s letter to the Galatians. We are currently studying through the Gospel of Luke. I am also responsible for Sunday evening services. In the past year we have finished a 25-week series through Revelation, a 10-week study of Church History, and are currently in the midst of a long series through the Parables.
In November I asked Pastor Joe if I could take all Wednesday night services. In total, I led 30 Prayer Meetings as we journeyed through Acts, Joshua & Hebrews. I have led 47 Thursday evening men’s groups. In the past year, this group has examined the books of Daniel and Genesis. In total, since my arrival on staff in July of 2003, I have taught through (in detail) 20.2% of Scripture (16.4% of the Old Testament, 33.8% of the New Testament). I look forward to another year in which to study, teach, and apply God’s Word.
In addition to teaching ministry I have been active in pastoral visitation. I have made 147 visits outside the church building since our last conference including routine visits to area nursing homes. Other activities in the past year have included, in part, occasional help with children’s/youth ministry, leading Sunday morning services in Pastor Joe’s absence, participation in organization meetings, and district events. It was my great joy to take part in ministry to Chinese students at various times throughout the year through ISI and to take another missions trip to China from April 18th -May 5th.
As was the case last year, as I write this report, there is no place I’d rather be serving my Savior than Hess Road Wesleyan Church. I sense God moving here in individuals and in the body as a whole. I believe God has a great plan for Hess Road Wesleyan Church and I am excited to see part of that plan unfold in the coming year.
In Christ,
Matthew Rose

Hi Pastor,
Have you warned your followers of the da vinci code?
The Da Vinci code movie is a tool to get people to to believe (the lie) that Christ and Mary had a child...
Why?
To condition people into believing that one day the “heir” will make himself known to the world. The movie tells us (a few times) that the "heir" will make himself know to the world.
I bet that “heir” is none other than the antichrist.
Luciferian world emerging…Wake up America!
Leaders tell us there will be a one world Government:
“By the end of this decade (2000 AD) we will live under the first One World Government that has ever existed in the society of nations … a government with absolute authority to decide the basic issues of human survival. One world government is inevitable.” Pope John Paul II quoted by Malachi Martin in the book “The Keys of This Blood”
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.
This “new world” is Luciferian based:
Those promoting the New World Order, global society, want Christianity removed to make way for people to accept Lucifer:
“Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in.” –Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking on radio in 1983.
How do you prepare people for this coming one-world global society?
“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.” - Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization
How would one enter this new society?
“No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation.” David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations
The Bible predicted and warned us about this a couple thousand years ago:
Rev 13:16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(666)
Did you know the technology to do this is here and ready?
“Is there a number or mark planned for the hand or forehead in a new cashless society? YES, and I have seen the machines that are now ready to put it into operation.” Ralph NaderThis technology is being used in Europe. People are already buying with RFID (radio frequency identification chips) implanted in their hands/arms.
What is so wrong with this?
Revelation 14 warns us:9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
This Luciferian initiation, that David Spangler, UN, speaks of could very well be the mark of the beast, the Bible warns us about. And the mark of this man…who will it be? Could he emerge from the following?:
“We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he be God or devil, we will receive him.” -Paul-Henri Spaak,The first president of the United Nations General Assembly, who was also a prime minister of Belgium and one of the early planners of the European Common Market, as well as a secretary-general of NATO.
“I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over the last 49 years, they would move on Washington; they would not wait for an election….It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States!” –George W. Malone, U.S. Senator (Nevada), speaking before Congress in1957.
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” - Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” ~ Albert Einstein
