Praise Updates:
1. Services Last Week - More salvations to report in Massachusetts! a Prophecy Conference on Saturday blessed people so much for their present and future hope and two Sunday services netted a great harvest of souls. Many people were added to the Kingdom and many more took care of business with the Lord through the incredibly vibrant prayer ministry. Dennis shared so many wonderful and poignant stories of people coming to the Lord when he got back! His face was shining as he related his experiences. One precious soul had never been to church before in her life and was convinced that the Lord wanted nothing to do with her but through His divine Grace, she is all His now! Another precious child at the tender age of 12 showed a commitment that all adults should envy and try to copy. At another service, people came to the altar bringing their sins that put Jesus on the cross. Out of all the movies Dennis took with him, he only brought back 10! Thank you so much for your prayers for Christian media. It is truly taking the wind out of the enemy’s plans to deceive people. We are also thrilled to report that 11 children were sponsored with World Vision.
2. Sydney Film Trip – This is shaping up really well – we want to praise the Lord for Josh Reid of Earl Street Pictures who has been so helpful. He is a Christian actor and radio host in Sydney.

3. Heidi Geoff of World Vision is the videographer who accompanied us on the trip to Nicaragua in March.

Links to Nicaragua Pictures & Video
These are photos of our Nicaragua trip with World Vision in March. We visited several ADP's (Area Development Projects) and 2 World Vision field offices as well as the main World Vision headquarters for Nicaragua. We were blessed by the helpful staff of World Vision and were also very blessed by the children and their parents. We learned a lot from this field experience and will be better equipped to share how sponsorship dollars are used as well as explain the many benefits to the children and their communities that they receive through child sponsorship.Video Link March 24th

Update - April 15, 2010
They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?" "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied. Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
Mark 12:14-17
Praise Updates:
1. Services Last Week - Two services in Massachusetts on Sunday went so well! There were many, many salvations and we are always so blessed to be a part of God's great harvest! We have to pinch ourselves every time someone receives the Lord because it is truly a supernatural work of Grace. The Christian movies Dennis brought to distribute are really blessing people and showing a real alternative to the world media. His only problem is that he is running out so fast and also the high bag fees now that make it harder to transport the movies so he can't bring as many (so we're having a lot of them shipped ahead, smart, yes? :)
2. Dennis was able to secure a service at a Christian school yesterday and also a Wednesday night service where there were more salvations and many Christian movies were also distributed.
3. On April 5th we had our first reading of the new Narrow Gate Theatre production of "My Wonderful Coma" and it was so wonderful! We had a really good response and a diverse group and the reading was fun and uplifting and really Christ-honoring. We are looking forward to our next reading soon, the last week of April and after that we will begin casting! We have been in contact with the playwright, Sandy Boikian, who is working on the film of this play and she begins shooting next week so we are praying for her as well.
4. Dennis & Wendy's daughter Stephanie was in a discussion on Facebook with her friends about how to demonstrate our care for the poor and she mentioned that the best way was to not talk about it but to do something like sponsor a World Vision child and somebody she didn't even know was inspired by her comments to sponsor a child and asked her how to do that. She gave him Dennis' cell number and he sponsored a child! Not only that, but he became the 1000th child to be sponsored under Dramatic Christian Ministries! Not only that, but the child he picked just happened to have the same birthday as Dennis!
Prayer Needs For This Week & Next Week:
1. Dennis will be in Westfield, MA. Saturday April 17th again at Word of Grace's prophecy conference presenting "Matthew 23 - 25, The Temple & Olivet Discourse".
2. Sunday, April 18th Dennis will be at Crossway Christian Church in Palmer MA. presenting "The Book of James". Later on that day he will present "Acts I & II" at Full Gospel Assembly in Wethersfield, CT.
3. Continued prayer for the new Narrow Gate Theatre production of "My Wonderful Coma" and for the film also beginning production next week.
4. Please continue to pray for the upcoming trip to Australia - Dennis has two dates for Sunday May 2nd to do presentations while filming the movie "Job". Please thank the Lord for Josh Reid and please also pray for Jason Blaiklock who is producing and directing the movie. Please pray that Dennis will find time to learn his part of the movie "Job" while in MA. and that he will also find another date for a presentation while there and for lodging.
5. The premier screening of the movie Dennis was in, "Suing the Devil", will be on Thurs. May 13th in Los Angeles at the Darryl F. Zanuck Theatre, Fox Studios, 10201 W Pico Boulevard and we plan to be there! This screening will provide much needed feedback to the film makers as they begin their final edits for the January 2011 release of the film.
It has been a few weeks since a letter came out but the best news is that the reason is because we are so busy "about our Father's business". Your prayers are holding us up and keeping our feet firmly on the path He has set before us and, as always, we are so thankful for your faithfulness to pray. May the Lord bless you as you rejoice in His presence giving thanks in all things as we all look toward the day of His coming.
Many Warm Blessings,
Dennis & Wendy Cole

I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me -- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

Praise Updates:
1. Services Last Week - Two services at Rock Rio in Rio Rancho for Palm Sunday – Wendy and Stephanie sang together and did ministry time singing.

Several people came for salvation and prayer ministry went on for a long time afterwards.

2. Last Week in Nicaragua – This was a fantastic trip with World Vision. We got to see first hand how this amazing organization operates on behalf of the children it serves. We can truly testify to the integrity of World Vision. We were also blessed in meeting so many of these little ones whom the Lord has helped through World Vision and the obedience of the sponsors. The World Vision staff in Nicaragua were so knowledgeable and compassionate as well.
