MARCH & APRIL 2025
MINISTRY UPDATE
We are very thankful to the Lord for what He has been doing through Gospel of Glory ministries for the past two months. Thank you so much for your faithfulness in your prayers and financial support.
WHEN HE OPENS THE HEAVENS
We started 2025 with a special time of fasting, along with a prayer and worship conference. For us, the focus of this year has been the fulfillment of the promises of God in reaching out to those who are in darkness with the light of the Gospel of salvation. We believe that this is the season of open heavens for the Gospel of the Kingdom to reach out, as well as open doors for the Gospel. To reinforce and highlight the need of reaching out with the good news of the Gospel, we have been providing a series of teachings to enhance the awareness about the urgency of the Gospel.
This is the reason I wrote my recent book, “When He Opens the Heavens.” Among other things, an open heaven releases the favor of the Lord for us to fulfill His purpose on earth. During open heavens, because of the favor of the Lord, the impossible becomes possible, and the resistance to the truth loses its power. Our urgent call is to walk under open heavens to redeem the season by using every opportunity that is made available to us.

SPIRIT OF ENCOURAGEMENT
The other highlight is an opportunity the Lord gave us to encourage individuals, family and spiritual leaders to arise and go back to their original calling, in order to go forward to shine His glory—“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). The word arise in Aramaic implies “resurrection,” in the Greek it means to “stand fast,” and in Hebrew—“to get up, to come into being and to spring forth.” Hence, we arise to worship Him in our personal life—to honor Him in our home and serve His purpose in His Kingdom. The Lord gave me an opportunity to highlight the importance of this during the “Africa Arise” conference in Ethiopia, February 12-16, 2025.
To achieve this concept, we have addressed the family and marriage issues in both Ethiopia and Las Vegas, Nevada, last month. The Lord used these gatherings to restore covenants, renew marriages, and bring healing into many homes, just like in the story of Zacchaeus when “Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham”’ (Luke 19:9).
Leaders Worshipping during Glory Gathering 2025, Richardson, Texas
GLORY GATHERING CONFERENCE 2025
We held our Glory Gathering Annual conference March 28-30 in Dallas, Texas. For the last twenty-two years, we have been holding an annual Glory Gathering Conference once a year. The gathering had two parts. The first part was a two-day, intensive leadership training for emerging leaders. The second part was focused on worship and hearing the heart of God for our generation. We made special emphasis on the three-demission of intimacy—personal, family, and church or ministry. We had an awesome time as we took a spiritual inventory on a personal, family and ministry level. It was a very powerful time of reflection, repentance, and renewal. We concluded the Glory Gathering with a time of impartation and commissioning for the new season.
Time of fellowship
On Sunday morning and in their afternoon service, I spoke to a local church in South Korea on the topic of “Going Back to Our First Love and Hosting His Presence for Restoration.” We witnessed a great move of the Holy Spirit in both services.
Three days of leadership training at Wagner Leadership Institute
In addition, I conducted three days of leadership training at Wagner Leadership Institute on the topic of “The King’s Signet Ring.” I was able to address topics such as the Historical, Spiritual, Covenantal, Relational, etc. significance of signet rings for identity, authority, and power to fulfill our divine purpose. It was an amazing, remarkable time as the Lord released the revelation of His Word and we experienced the impartation of the Holy Spirit.
A New Book to be released in June 2025 - DIVINE DIALOGUE
We are also very excited about completing my new book, which will be released at the end of June 2025 by Chosen Books. I believe this book will help not only leaders, but every believer who has a desire to hear the voice of God to understand and know His will.
Apostle Chuck Pierce, who wrote the foreword for this book, said—“Alemu Beeftu has written an incredible book on critical thinking. Divine Dialogue is about discovering God’s heart and purpose in your life through questions that He will ask you during your walk with Him. Alemu addresses how you develop: Character, Miracles, Vision, Authority, and Relationship through the dear Brothers and Sisters,
We all have questions for God at various times in our lives, don’t we? But does it ever occur to us that God may have questions for us as well? One very intimate way God communicates with His children is through dialogue—a back-and-forth conversation that includes asking and answering questions.
When we are open to having a dialogue with God, He will confirm, clarify, and reveal at a deeper level Who He is. Our dialogue with Him will also expose a deeper need for repentance and restoration, it will enable transformation, and it will bring about true and lasting revelation.
DIVINE DIALOGUE, my newest book, encourages readers to dialogue with God, to listen to the questions that He asks us, and to answer those questions on an intimate, personal level.
DIVINE DIALOGUE also creates opportunities for a dialogue with God and each other in a group or family setting. This kind of dialogue will allow His people to discover His thoughts, assess His ways, and align with His strategies. Moreover, this kind of dialogue will empower His people to move forward with action that is grounded in faith. And we know that pleases God!
Would you take a look at DIVINE DIALOGUE and consider introducing it to your church congregation and other believers so that they might enter into a “divine dialogue” with God? I believe DIVINE DIALOGUE can lead them into a greater personal transformation and a more fruitful life and ministry.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of my request. The proceeds from DIVINE DIALOGUE will help Gospel of Glory declare Christ’s glorious gospel among the nations.
DIVINE DIALOGUE will be available online at: — Amazon.com, Bakerbookhouse.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Christianbook.com, Booksamillion.com, and more!
