Mike and Jan Dana, Founders of
CWT
We became born-again, Spirit-filled Christians in 1976. God has taken us through much in developing and preparing us for the ministry which has been in our hearts and prophesied to us many times. We are grateful for all the gifts, training, teaching, and prayer of the brothers and sisters in Christ we have been fed by through the years, some of whom we have had the opportunity to personally work with, including, among others, Robert Thom, George Stormont, John Osteen, Charles and Frances Hunter, Ken and Gloria Copeland, Paul Yonggi Cho, Jerry Savelle, Pat Robertson, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Leroy Thompson, Kenneth Hagin, C.L. Johnston, Smith Wigglesworth, Keith Moore, Keith Butler and Lester Sumrall…The list could go on and on, and we have unintentionally left many precious ministries and individuals out. We have pastored churches, built companies, and labored for others, always with one goal, to fulfill what we believe has been, is, and will be our primary ministry calling, summed up best in II Corinthians 9:8-15, a ministry of giving which is intended to supply the needs of the saints and others and overflow with many thanksgivings to God. God has disciplined us, nurtured and refined this calling over the past 20 years
Many, we understand, desire to get rich. But what many don’t understand is that the purpose of getting rich is to be able to abundantly bless and distribute, not only to ones own needs but also to the needs of others. It is difficult to express without sounding pompous the pure gift of generosity which God has placed within us. II Corinthians 9:8-15 spells out this gift:
Vs. 8 And God is able to make all
grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that
you may always, under all circumstances, and whatever the need, be
self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support and
furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
Vs. 9 As it is written, He scatters abroad, He gives to the poor; His deeds of
justice, goodness, kindness and benevolence will go on forever!
Vs. 10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and
multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your
righteousness.
Vs. 11 You will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.
Vs. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the
needs of the saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings
to God.
Vs. 13 Because of your standing of the test or proof of this ministry, they will glorify God at your loyalty and obedience to the Gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous-hearted liberality to them and to all those in need.
Vs. 14 And they yearn for you while they pray for you, because of the
surpassing measure of God's grace in you.
Vs. 15 Now thanks be to God for His gift, precious beyond telling! (Amp. and NAS)
We believe that the "you" in these verses refers specifically to us (and others appointed to partner with us).
Though God has graciously given
us many successes, as He has many of you,
there has also been tremendous
opposition to this calling. Recently God has been revealing in many ways
that now is the time for the strongholds to be broken completely
so that the surpassing grace of God which is within us can
fully supply the needs, whatever they might be and however great they might
be, of the saints and of all. On the 13th day of fasting and prayer and while trading on the market, we believe God opened up the plan you will have the opportunity to review (and perhaps, will decide to become a partner in.) There is nothing new under the sun, but there is new revelation and understanding.
CWT is that fresh revelation.
