Here we are again! This is the quarter of the 

year packed with holidays, special themes and programs. 

This issue of AdvAnce nj also launches us into a new 

Year. 

I pray that every minister and church has prospered 

in this turbulent world. Hard financial times, disasters, 

terrorism, sexual revolutions and, so much more, present 

opportunities for God’s people to “arise and build” (see 

nehemiah 2). Amidst the rubble, believers hold the tools 

and building material to create something new. We have 

the power to shine a light in the darkness, to build a 

spiritual base and create hope for the despairing. This is 

our time to share faith and practice what we preach.

I hope the previous three quarters of this calendar year 

have found you to be missional. I pray that the challenges 

ahead will inspire you to mobilize people and resources as 

an army of hope. 

Once again, we want this little magazine to encourage 

and resource you and your ministry. We’d love to hear 

from you and pray for your every success! 

Fourth QUARTER 2011 | ADVANCE New Jersey | 3

one of my most 

unpleasant duties is attending to 

ministerial failure. I have had to deal with marital 

infidelity, spousal abuse, sexual abuse, pornography, 

alcohol and gambling addictions, extortion and even 

embezzlement. These are just a few. More recently we 

see Internet, Facebook and text messaging traps. 

When a failure is confessed, the minister must 

immediately surrender his credential card. That card, 

most often nestled in a wallet and untouched except 

for annual replacement, contains a very important 

piece of information. It could prevent a sinful 

mudslide! On the back of every Id card is printed 

“Ag HelpLine. For confidential counseling or 

referral for Assemblies of god ministers and their 

family members.” I’ve often asked a minister, as he 

surrenders his card, “did you ever reach out though 

this confidential helpline?” I have never had a 

person say he sought the help offered at any time, let 

alone at the point of a major moral failure. 

I realize that it is often difficult for ministers to 

turn to their leadership when they are struggling. 

They value complete confidentiality, which is not 

always possible. Most feel vulnerable and ashamed. 

However, considering that a minister’s moral failure 

usually jeopardizes his livelihood, his family’s security, 

his ability to work in future ministry and even his 

retirement benefits . . . shouldn’t he at least consult an 

anonymous, confidential and free counseling help? 

Must a moral struggle become a moral failure? 


“A prudent man 

sees danger and 

takes refuge, but the 

simple keep going 

and suffer for it.” 

Proverbs 22:3 

Here is a quote from a brochure titled, “A 

HelpInG HAnd,” produced by the Assemblies of 

God pastoral care Office. It is relative to the Help line 

information printed on your credential card. 

“The 800 counseling helpline number 

for ministers and their family members 

will enable you to get quick, professional, 

Christian help in your time of crisis 

or concern. With the ability to remain 

anonymous, you will be able to openly 

share whatever you need, without fear. 

The counselor will offer advice, referral, or 

specific direction. Not only will this phone 

service help with crisis intervention, but it 

will also help you deal with your situation 

before it becomes long lasting.” 

Friends, end 2011 strong and start the new Year 

in good health. I implore you, whatever the burden, 

problem or temptation pestering you, take out that 

card and make that anonymous call. It could make 

all the difference between your struggle and a moral 

failure. 

caring for you, 

Brother Carl

By the time you read this a couple 

of months will have passed, but today my heart 

is breaking as I have watched the starving people 

of Somalia make the dreadful trek to Kenya to 

find food. Many will die along the way, others 

will find little food and 

even less hope when they 

arrive. Starvation is a 

terrible injustice in our 

world. What bugs me is it’s 

something we can change. 

Thank God for AG 

disaster Fund and convoy 

of Hope! They really are 

making a difference. 

But there was another 

thing breaking my heart 

today. It’s not just a famine 

of tangible food, but of 

spiritual food. could it be 

the prophecy of Amos 8:11 is 

happening right before our eyes? 

“the days are coming,” 

declares the Sovereign 

LORD, “when i will send 

a famine through the 

land—not a famine of food 

or a thirst for water, but a 

famine of hearing the words 

of the LORD.” 

Friends, I need to tell you that verse scares 

me! It scares me that a generation is growing up 

before us that are somewhat “wordless.” It scares 

me that many believers have scaled down their 

personal input from God’s Word to a Sunday 

sermon and a paragraph from My daily Bread. 

So it’s my prayer that all 

of us would once again 

realize - “it’s not by bread 

alone, but by every word 

that proceeds from the 

mouth of God.”

“According to one survey, we are 

the unhappiest nation on earth, with more mental 

disorders and depression per capita than any other 

country.” chuck colson, The Faith, 202. 

putting God first is sorely needed in new jersey. 

“…seek first the kingdom of god and His 

righteousness, and all these things shall be 

added to you.” Jesus 

When God is first, all the stuff of life gets 

aligned. 

“…i hoped to experience the only happiness 

most people find during their brief life in this 

world. i also tried to find meaning…but as i 

looked at everything i had worked so hard to 

accomplish, it was all so meaningless. it was like 

chasing the wind.” solomon, Ecclesiastes 2 

“God is not weLCoMe 

in our schools.” ever heard that phrase? Well, 

it’s not true! His presence is still found in our 

country’s schools – thanks to the missionary 

heart of students and the influence of light for 

the lost’s Book of Hope. 

The Book of Hope is a book that contains 

portions of Scripture. These passages are targeted 

to a specific age group, making God’s words 

immediately relevant to their life situations! 

Millions of copies of the Book of Hope have been 

distributed to youth and children across the 

United States. 


Without God first, people in new jersey will 

always be chasing wind. 

“Why do I have 3 Super Bowl rings and still 

think there’s something greater out there for 

me…Me, i think, ‘god, it’s got to be more than 

this.’ I mean…this can’t be what it’s all cracked 

up to be.” Tom Brady, new england patriots 

Quarterback, cBS. 

people are searching. A mild dose of God will 

not help in new jersey. 

“i have come in order that you might have life — 

life in all its fullness.” Jesus 

jersey needs your best word from God. Hope 

is in your hands. don’t blow it. Thanks for giving 

your best. 

From the lFTl archives, listen to some of the 

testimonies of christian youth: 

“My friend and I were at our lockers and as I 

took my backpack out of the locker he saw my 

campus missions tag and asked me, “Who is 

jesus?” … I had my Bible and read the verses to 

him. I also gave him a Book of Hope to read.” 

– ryan 

“This year I have really stepped out in my 

school to be loving … I invited a couple of my 

friends who don’t know jesus to come to church 

with me. They came and all accepted christ as 

their Savior! I gave each of them a Book of Hope 

to read so they could dig deeper into the Word. 

… I am also starting a campus club at my school.” 

– Hayley 

Thank you for giving to lFTl so that God’s 

hand can be in our schools!

to all who are participating in our Missions 

project, In Pursuit of India. The new jersey 

district has taken on the task of training 

30,000 new pastors for India at a total cost 

of $150,000. We’ve received pledges of 

$80,000 and need $70,000 more to reach 

our goal. We have the greatest opportunity 

to change the destiny of a nation. The 

younger generation is questioning old 

traditions and beliefs of their families and is 

looking for answers. Many are turning their 

lives over to the lord, jesus christ. There are 1,000’s 

of salvations daily in India. God has set the stage, 

the India churches are praying, and we are coming 

alongside of them to train new pastors. This is a 

Macedonia call. Are we listening? 

$3 per student is all it takes to place eight books 

into the hands of these new pastors for study, 

training and equipping to reach the 1.2 billion 

people of India. This is the best money you will 

ever spend. For $2 more per student, we can also 

provide transportation to the training center. 

• Total Financial Faith Promises 

Received: $856,235 

• Total Financial Offerings Received 

(as of June 30, 2011): $788,522 


We must go out into the remote areas of 

India and set up training locations to instruct 

and equip these new pastors. You may even 

consider becoming one of their teachers! every 

pastor is an agent of change. every church is a 

ministry center. The poor will be fed, children at 

risk will be rescued, education will be provided, 

unreached people groups will be reached, 

spiritual transformation will take place and hope 

will be offered. Trained pastors are the answer to 

India’s need. 

Think of the areas around India that will also be 

affected by these new pastors: pakistan, 

Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bhutan, 

nepal, china, Tibet, and Kashmir. 

This project is an ongoing 

endeavor as the harvest 

demands strategic change. 

please, if you haven’t done so, 

join the new jersey district 

in completing our Goal of 

$150,000 to train 30,000 new 

pastors. This is an investment 

worth making. 

ANOTHER NOTE: On October 8, 2011 the new jersey district Missions department is 

sponsoring a Missions drive-In. It will be held at Full Gospel church, 1607 jacksonville 

road, Burlington. This will be similar to the Fly-Ins we used to have. It will be a quick 

paced, fast moving event that starts at 9:00am and ends shortly after 1:00pm. lunch will 

be provided, so please rSvp to the Missions office if you plan to attend. We will have 

representation from the General council of the Assemblies of God, World Missions 

department. plan to be there!

For two years, scientists sequestered 

themselves in an artificial environment called 

Biosphere 2. Inside their self-sustaining 

community, the Biospherians created a number 

of mini-environments, including a desert, rain 

forest, even an ocean. nearly every weather 

condition could be simulated except one, 

wind. Over time, the effects of their windless 

environment became apparent. A number 

of acacia trees bent over and even snapped. 

Without the stress of wind to strengthen the 

wood, the trunks grew weak and could not hold 

up their own weight. 

paul says in ephesians 3:17, “let your roots 

grow down into him, and let your lives be built 

on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the 

truth you were taught, and you will overflow 

with thankfulness.” 


Many times people will comment on all the 

negativity in their lives. They will complain 

about the hardships, trials and misfortunes 

that come their way. But where would we be if 

everything always went smoothly? It is in the 

hardships of life that many people reach out 

to the living God. It is in our frailty that we 

realize that we are finite beings. It is in the times 

of adversity that we come to understand how 

important it is that we are planted and rooted 

in the Word of God. It is then that His promises 

stand true through thick and thin. So if you find 

yourself in a hard place, dig your feet in, stay 

planted and watch the glory of the lord bring 

you through.

(Part One) 

I am intrigued every time I see a 

sign that indicates a business is “Under neW 

MAnAGeMenT.” Questions pop into my mind: “I 

wonder what happened to the former management?” 

“did the previous management fail?” Simply put, good 

intentions are not enough to make good managers. In 

our lives, things we thought would go right can go very 

wrong if we don’t know how to manage them properly. 

As the actor john Wayne said, “life’s hard! It’s even 

harder when you’re stupid!” 

Hopefully we’re not stupid! Whatever the reason for 

why things fail, new management is sometimes needed 

to turn things around. Of course it would be much 

better if we could empower the current management 

to improve. While money and profit are usually the 

motivators in the business world, men of God have 

another motivator: awareness that we have a finite 

amount of time in this life before we stand before God 

and give an accounting! 

The psalmist said, “Teach us to number our days 

aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (psalm 

90:12) A heart of wisdom understands that life is short 

and what we do with it carries eternal consequences. 

james challenged his readers with this thought: “Why, 

you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. 

What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little 

while and then vanishes.” james 4:14 (nIv) james’ 

rather sobering assessment gives us good reason to 

consider managing both our time and resources well. 


Be very careful, then, 

how you live—not as unwise 

but as wise, making the 

most of every opportunity, 

because the days are evil. 

Therefore do not be foolish, 

but understand what 

the Lord’s will is. 

Ephesians 5:15-17 

Because our time on this planet is limited, it compels 

us to focus on our priorities. That focus has a practical 

look in terms of managing time with family, faith and 

finances. In her book Time Management: Maximizing 

Your Minutes, june Hunt points to some consequences 

of time mismanagement: 

Lack of intimacy with the Lord 

Lack of quality in personal relationships 

Lack of ability to relax 

Lack of ability to enjoy quiet and leisure time 

Lack of satisfaction in work 

Lack of emotional stability 

Lack of physical health 

Lack of joy and optimism 

Lack of a sense of self-worth 

In our point Man Trainings, we endeavor to right the 

wrongs listed above and empower our men to take 

back their lives from the realm of mismanagement and 

properly manage all that is dear to them. In the next 

quarter’s AdvAnce, part two of this article will offer 

positive insights on how to manage our lives in both 

personal and spiritual ways.

What are the benefits of chartering? 

The benefits of chartering are many. The 

greatest, of course, is that you benefit from 

the services provided by the national and 

district leadership teams as they endeavor to 

continually improve and grow royal rangers 

for local church success. The following list 

illustrates the many benefits of chartering 

available to you and your outpost. 

15% discount on Ranger gear when ordered via the 

Ranger Online Superstore 

15% discount on all national and regional training events 

15% discount on national and regional activities like 

Camporama, Rendezvous, National LEAD Conference, 

and more 

15% discount on district training events 

15% discount on select district Royal Rangers activities 

and events 

Each chartered member of your outpost will receive a 

free copy of Rangers NOW, the group-specific, annual 

magazine from the National Royal Rangers Ministries that 

lets boys know how to get the most from their Rangers 

experience during the current school year. There is an 

edition for leaders, too. 

Your outpost will get one free copy of the Outpost 

Promotional Kit, which is full of resources like 

promotional videos, reproducible touch cards, clip art, 

customizable banners to advertise your ministry and/or 

decorate your meeting rooms, and more! 

Access to download Outpost Navigator, a data-tracking 

tool to record and track boys’ and leaders’ advancements. 

An official outpost number to wear on your uniform. 

As you can see, the benefits of chartering are 

huge! The discount on products and events 

alone should well exceed the cost of chartering. 

The Royal Rangers charter year runs from 

September 1 – August 31. 

Now is the time to renew your charter. Please 

go to the national website, www.royalrangers.com, 

to complete the process. 

All of the above resources can be found at 

http://royalrangers.com 


During 2011, we have 

addressed some thorny issues regarding 

employment practices for the local church. 

We have touched on topics of employment law that 

have a significant impact on churches. This quarter, we 

will take a look at some of the reporting that is required 

of all employers, including churches. 

Before you can fill out the proper form to report 

earnings and other information to the proper 

government agency, you need to properly classify 

workers as outside contractors (self-employed) or 

employees. The IrS has developed 20 criteria for you 

to use in determining if a worker is an employee or 

is self-employed. You should use these criteria and 

document your decision in case it is challenged. note: 

Ministers are considered “dual-status” taxpayers – they 

are employees of the church and should be receiving 

a W-2 form, but they are considered self-employed 

with respect to social security. Form 1099-MISc is 

permissible, but not preferred, unless your pastors 

meet the 20 criteria test as truly self-employed, which 

almost never happens. 

church leaders (especially board members) must 

take payroll tax reporting rules seriously. The IrS and 

state tax departments are not shy about imposing 

significant penalties on individuals responsible for 

managing the church finances (this includes pastors, 

board members and bookkeepers). It is essential for 

these individuals to understand and comply with 

the rules. penalties can be severe and can be assessed 

against all individuals in a “should have known” role in 

management of the church. 


Tax Update: 

For travel beginning July 1, 2011, 

the IRS has increased the standard 

mileage rate to 55.5 cents per mile. 

Charitable travel for this time period 

remains at 14 centers per mile. 

Taxing authorities are also very well aware of the 

sad fact that churches all too often fail to comply with 

employment tax withholding and reporting. 

There is a simple, 10 step approach to compliance 

with payroll tax reporting that is available in richard 

Hammar’s 2011 Church and Clergy Tax Guide. We 

urge you to purchase this valuable resource so you can 

implement his recommendations. doing so will go 

a long way toward achieving compliance with these 

important tax reporting requirements. 

20 criteria to determine worker status can be found at 

www.irs.gov. This information is also included in the 

2011 Church and Clergy Tax Guide by Richard Hammar. 

julid@njag.org - we have many other resources, some 

of which were developed by the district attorneys to 

assist us with various employment law matters. We also 

have an employee manual that we can share with our 

local churches.

Last Sunday I had such a burden for her (Margaret) and finally made it up 

to Mendham. She cried out to Jesus, Pastor Nancy. She said she did open 

the door of her heart to let Jesus in as her Lord and Savior. This has been 

a burden for some time, but the enemy would always seem to distract her 

at the point of prayer and receiving her salvation. But, Praise the Lord, she 

called on Him. Which leads me to a request: would you show us how to 

communicate a message of salvation in sign? Something simple, of course! 

It was awesome to see their enthusiasm not only to learn sign language, 

but that they are actively reaching others for christ with limited 

communication skills. We serve a God of the impossible (Matthew 

19:26). May the lord be calling you to what you think is impossible? 

PLUs your district leaders are available for 

various ministries or special emphasis:
