November Newsletter
Thank you for your regular prayers on behalf of the RONI Ministry.
We are evaluating some incredible opportunities, and are asking the Lord if we should step out and pursue them. These initiatives include — a curriculum for churches, study guides, and more books and media projects.
The next month is crucial, as we make decisions about the activities and projects for the ministry in 2009. Thank you for prayers and support—especially during this next month!
700 Club interview
On November 13, Brian and I taped 2 programs; one of them was about adoption. Thank you so much for your prayers as we felt God’s presence with us at all times. We are praying that a lot of people would tune in and received help and hope on the 700 Club when this programs air next year. Continue to pray that the Enemy’s lies and Myths about adoption would be exposed, and that marriages would be restored and encouraged with both programs.
Our Radio Audience responds:
“My aunt had the book “Un Minuto Con Dios” on her table and I picked it up. I was going through a stage where I was starting to think about divorce. I thought, this lady has her phone number on the back of the book, so I decided to call her. I was surprised to see that she answered the phone and talked to me, a complete stranger, for close to an hour. I was encouraged and decided to read the word of God daily and to start looking to ME for changes”
“Every time I hear “Un Minuto Con Dios”, I feel that God takes a thought that is wrong in my mind and replaces it with something new and good. I want to thank you, for even though I might not be on your “best friend list” you are one of my best friends”
“I am one of your male listeners; I am a pastor and happily married to my wife for quite some time, your daily minute always provides a call to action that challenges me to apply change to my marriage.”
PRAYER REQUESTS:
More Minutes Recording Session
Rebeca has a new Radio studio in the ministry office and she is writing new programs to record pretty soon. The new programs will be based on the Sermon of the Mount from the book of Mathew. Also, please continue to pray for her as she writes her adoption book and has one more TV interview on December 3.
Decision Time
Pray that God would give us wisdom, as we meet later this month (the week of Thanksgiving) to seek the Lord for wisdom with our finances and new initiatives.
"Matrimonios Saludables”
Please pray as Brian continues to edit the programs and finds new media outlets to broadcast the 12 episodes (We hope to start airing January 7).
The Message of Family Health
Pray that the message of the Minute and “Matrimonios Saludables” programs will be God’s tool to empower people to build healthy marriages, God’s way!
Remain in Prayer for our Shared Values
Yes, elections are finally over, but, there are a lot of social issues that are being challenged and the outcome will affect our families and our society. Let’s continue praying for our country!

Prayer Update
On Wednesday and Thursday (November 12-13), Brian and Rebeca Knowles will be in Nashville taping two programs on CBN's 700 Club (Spanish) talking about adoption, and their book, Un Minuto Con Dios. Would you pray? Pray that thousands will tune in—especially troubled marriages, those facing infertility and the people who minister to and love them. Pray that the redemption message would be clear when we speak about adoption, and that couples would be equipped to renew their minds with God’s principles about marriage and family.
Pray that God’s purposes would be accomplished, and that He would be glorified as a result of these interviews.
Gratefully,
Brian and Rebeca
PS: We appreciate your prayers, we will let you know when the program will air so that you can watch it Live on your local TV station, or just watch it online from our web site.

We Serve Families
Instruction: Basic Christian Marriage Values. We provide instruction in the relationship skills and values found in the Bible to be essential to a healthy marriage; Christian education to enhance couples understanding of marriage; and emotional support and guidance. This is the core, distinctive component of Reaching Out Network, Inc (RONi) programs. Seminars are provided in different venues such as our own ministry office, His House, Churches that invite us to their planned events and in Curitiba, Brazil we provide a whole curriculum for the students of Bethany College.
Support Ministries:
Services to address special issues that may be common among couples and that are known to affect their relationships and marriage. This is done through the services of volunteer professional counselors and Celebrate Recovery meetings as well as topical workshops such as healthy marriages, parenting, communication, job- hunting skills, etc.
Ministry Clearinghouse and referrals:
After we assess a couples circumstances and needs we make referrals to other services when appropriate. These services may include church based ministries for couples, Family centers, other related non-profit organizations, budget and financial counseling offices, etc.
Family Mentors:
Relational ministry that reinforces marriage skills and values over time to support marriages, providing ongoing emotional support, and promoting sustained participation in program activities. This is the one-on-one-accountability partners that are formed within the network.
Reaching Out Through Media
Over a year ago, the Lord told us to start a one minute radio program that would speak to the hearts of Spanish speaking families of Latin America and the USA .Back then, we did not know what it would take to accomplish the task, but we moved in obedience and God has used this one minute program in a mighty way. Today, our ministry provides daily practical wisdom and biblical principles to audiences of more than 300 radio stations in Latin America and the USA .
Amazing Opportunity
Amazing Opportunity
God has truly blessed our ministry and we are excited about the new opportunities that He is constantly bringing our way! Along with new ventures, also come new challenges. Here is one of these new ventures and it’s challenge.
We now have a tremendous opportunity to produce one and thirty minute television programs on nationwide network television in both Spanish and English.
God has called us, His people, (as families) to make a difference by showing God’s way to a healthy marriage and a healthier society. We can bring this about by establishing God’s Kingdom first in our homes.
If the Lord speaks to your heart to become a Partner, feel free to sign up here as a “Television RONI Friend and Partner.”
God has called us to bear fruit and your contribution will bear much fruit for the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven .
Reach Out Together
We believe the family has a purpose to fulfill within their communities.
The following is a list of current Projects RONi collaborates with as a partner:
1. Betamar - Restoring the Christian leader's family in times of need.
Betamar is an Interdenominational ministry that works side by side with the leadership of the church. Antonio and Leni Vargas have worked as Pastors for over 22 years. Their house in the Ervino Beach is a haven for tired and hurting Christian leaders.
RONi Action plan:
RONI supports the mission of Betamar by monthly contributions to their operating budget. RONI is planning its Second Family Conference with the partnership of Betamar.
Current Status:
We see Betamar as a key partner in Brazil as it is a source for restoring the family at large. Pastor Vargas and Leni do the work of "shepherds" to the RONi team in Brazil. We are blessed to have them as partners in action.
2. His House Children's Home: Restoring the joy in the lives of children and families.
We love the people from His House. The founder “Mama” Jean is one of those rear people that are living a life of significance doing what their heart and the Spirit of God inspired them to do. She is practicing true religion, taking care of the orphans of South Florida and the foster children; 350 of them. As adopted parents ourselves, we understand and value the impact of what they do.
