Thought For the Summer
Luke 11: 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you. ……… (Wherever you go, do it with God)



Just a Thought

Over the last 4 years (according to our reckoning), letters or e-mails from 67 counties have reached
our office representing every continent of the globe; thereby complimenting our
motto, "Reaching out to the world and beyond."  We have reached out, worked or have been constantly
in communication with 23 of these countries: Barbados, St Kitts, Jamaica, Grenada, Guyana, France,
England, Canada, Malawi, Sudan, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda,  Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana,
Cameroon,  Australia, Mongolia,  Brazil, Argentina, India, Fiji, and Mexico.

All of our outreach has not been as successful as we would have wished, but the ACW has been blest
that our worked has been recognized within these countries. Some of the countries  who were in
contact with us, were curious as to who we were. Others were seeking  a helping hand; most
complimented us for our vision of outreach. The work that we have begun will take years to develop.,
We, the pioneers, will not see its success, but we are grateful that God has used this medium to help to
do His bidding. We look forward to many more years, in the service of our Lord.

So what is my thought?
THANKS BE TO GOD

Greetings from Australia!!

G'day mate. We are moving into the season of winter in the southern hemisphere and with it shortened days.
However the sun still manages to shine on this wonderful world that we all share.

I and my wife Margaret have been reading the website since it began and have followed its changes over the 4 years
of its life. It conveys well what the ACW is doing and provides timely news. What is important is that it does not
ignore the real world and the issues that ordinary people face. The Archbishop's comments provide good reading and
they have even mentioned the greatest game of all - cricket!! Even though the West Indies have not regained the
Frank Worrell Trophy with Australia beating them 2 weeks ago in the 1st Test in Jamaica and drawn last week in the
2nd Test in Antigua with only one test remaining, I'm sure Hartley can weave that into something on the
Archbishop's page.

So, congratulations on 4 years of a successful website, may it live on with greater outreach and faith to all.
Robert and Margaret in Australia, "see ya later and hooroo"

Thank you for uplifting us each week here in Australia. We especially look forward to the hymns of the week.

Blessings and Congratulations to the Anglican Church Worldwide on their 4th Anniversary of using the
Internet to share the Good News of Jesus Christ around the world and beyond. May the Lord continue
to use ACW and their message both in community and on the Internet!

I was turned on to your website by a friends in South Africa. Since then although I do not have
computer access regularly, each time I do I look at your site for a moment of spirit filled joy. Thank you
for uplifting us here in Botswana. Most of us are Anglicans  we are happy to see a website which will
not compromise our faithful beliefs. Continue the good work.

Your website has been a blessing to me for the past year as I leaned about it. The Archbishop's
messages are very inspiring and challenging, your Devotion Page also is a source of strength in my
weekly walk. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Before your website came along the ACW showed tremendous support for our work here in South
Africa and to me personally. When we visited you in 2002 at Good Shepherd in Illinois, we were most
bless for your vision for the future, which has now come full circle by the website. Congratulations and
thanks for all that you have done, may God continue to shower his blessings on you

Congratulations of your 4th year of your website. One of the things I like about your site is your
constant updates and refreshing of pages. I look forward to the old hymns and sometime I sit on my
computer and play then over and over.  You have been a blessing to us, may you have many more
years reaching out to the world.

I would like to congratulate the World Wide Web of Anglican Church Worldwide on its fourth
anniversary. Personally I met the Anglican Church Worldwide through this website as I was looking for
a ministry involved in African Missions. Among hundreds of sites, I was lead by the Spirit of God to
contact Archbishop Hartley, the Archbishop metropolitan of the ACW to find ways to work together in
building the Kingdom of God. On this note, let's pause and applaud this great technological tool to
spread the Gospel of Jesus-Christ to all the corners of the earth.
In His Service,
Rev. Dr. Kafunyi Mwamba

It is with the most heartfelt joy that I send my congratulations on the Anniversary of our beloved ACW
Web site. My greetings go out to you all may the ACW continue to have many years as we reach out to
the world and beyond.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your website. In this world of conflict and strife it is nice to visit a site
dedicated to Gods work. Please keep up the good work and spreading the Holy Word to the whole
world.

It is unbelievable how far we have come. In spite of its relative youth, it has impacted a lot of people of
all walks of life, and from all parts of the world. One just needs to see the number of visitors it has
received. The messages are wonderful. I really like its new look. It is also very user-friendly. Keep up
the good work of spreading the Gospel. It is our calling and we must fulfill our obligation using every
available method and particularly the internet. It is a wonderful education tool. We congratulate those
who manage it and those who contribute to it. Again, happy birthday.

Congratulations on your fourth year of reaching out to the international community through this
wonderful medium. I send my compliments to all who do such a great job keeping the site up to date
and relevant. May God continued blessing shine on the ACW.

Faces of the Fallen

WHY do we remember these brave men and women each week? The war is no longer front page news,
but to those who love them, they are in the foremost front of their thoughts. We in the ACW have
pledged never to forget them and until this war is declared it is at an end we will remember them.

For the following weeks we give you a recap of the destruction of lives by this war both in Iraq and
Afghanistan and remember 1 soldier from each year. Remember all soldiers and their families in your
prayers, too many young lives have been cut short, and too many are forgotten lying in hospitals
around the world.

Points to Ponder
You do not go to play or practice your favorite game without the gear that is to be used.
You do not go to work without wearing your uniform or the dress code required .
You do not go to the mall without your credit card.
You do not go to Grandma's house and not expect apple pie.

Why then go to church without a Bible?
TAKE A BIBLE TO CHURCH

A BENEFIT OF TITHING

Two men crashed in their private plane on a South Pacific Island. Both men survived. One of the men
brushed himself off and then proceeded to run all over the island to see if they had any chance of
survival. When he returned, he rushed up to the other man screaming 'We are going
to die!' The other man leaned back against the fuselage of the wrecked plane, folded his arms and
responded, 'No we're not. I make over $250,000 a week.'

The first man grabbed his friend and shook him. 'Listen, we are on an uninhabited island. There is no
food, no water. We are going to die!' The other man, unruffled, again shook his head no and responded.
'No, I make over $250,000 a week.' Mystified, the first man, taken aback with such an answer again
repeated,

'For the last time, I'm telling you we ARE doomed. There is no one else on this island. There is NO Food.
There is NO Water. We are, I repeat, we are going to die a slow death.' Still unfazed, the first man
looked the other in the eyes and said, 'Do not make me say this again. I make over $250,000 per
week.....and I tithe.

MY PASTOR WILL FIND US!'










Book of the Month

Prison Angel by Mary Jordan & Kevin Sullivan

Mother Antonia journies from a life of privilege in Beverly hills to service in a Mexican jail .  
I recently read and re-read this book, you just cannot put it down. We invite you to pick it up. It is a
story of courage, faith and unwavering love for those in need.
+ H

Twenty-eight years ago Mary Clarke, a well-to-do Beverly Hills divorcee, made a decision about how
she wanted to spend the rest of her life. After intense deliberation and soul searching—and without
the official support of the Catholic Church—she sewed herself a nun's habit, left home, and set off for a
life of compassionate service in, of all places, La Mesa State Penitentiary, a notorious prison in Tijuana,
Mexico. She lives there still, and her work with the prison population has earned her the blessings of
the church (she founded her own order, The Servants of the Eleventh Hour), accolades from human
rights groups around the world, and the eternal gratitude of the countless individuals she has
counseled, comforted, and cared for in prison, after prison, and in their final hours on earth.
