The Eternal Kingdom: March 2011

There is a Kingdom that has always been, and will always be. It is found in the heart of Jehovah God who has no beginning or end. He lives in eternity, and rules over all that exist. Before time began, before you were born, God had an eternal purpose for your life. The only way to find and fulfill this eternal purpose is through a relationship with The Eternal King, Jesus Christ. This blog is about The Eternal King and His Kingdom. It is about how you can be part of His Kingdom by having a relationship with Him, and fulfilling His eternal purpose for you.

Your Eternal Purpose

Before time began, before you were born, God had a purpose for your life. There is only one way to find and fulfill that purpose; by living in daily fellowship with Jesus.¹ When it has all been said and done there is just one thing that will matter. Does God say to you, “Well done, you fulfilled my purpose for you.” Or does He say, “Leave! You did what YOU wanted to do with your life.”

You need to ask yourself, “Am I spending time fellow-shipping with God by meditating on His Word, the Bible, and praying? Am I seeking to listen to and obey His Spirit?” Only as you spend time with God will you find true success in life.

¹2 Timothy 1:9

Maturity

Maturity is when you are so secure in your relationship with The Lord that you are more concerned about the needs of others than you are about yourself.

Rita's Story

Rita was married to Bud McDonald for 33 years. Bud McDonald (1942-2003) was called to ministry in Latin America in 1973.

Bud and Rita were married in 1970 in Baytown, Texas just a few years before being called to ministry. Their ministry gradually spread from Belize to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador then finally to Mexico. Through their ministry, first starting with the Burton McDonald Evangelistic Association, then changing over to The Sower, Inc. in 1983, Bud and Rita started over 140 churches throughout Central America and Mexico.

Bud’s influence extended from Argentina to Cuba through Central America into parts of Texas and the Southern U.S. through evangelistic crusades, meetings, radio and television.

Rita McDonald began serving in ministry alongside her husband Bud soon after their marriage. She used her secretarial skills in editing and typing a weekly Christian newspaper, and in helping Bud compile a Bible correspondence school. She led worship in new churches they started, and taught weekly children’s Sunday school classes as well as vacation Bible schools. After moving back to the US in the 80’s she co-pastored several churches with her husband, led a Bible study at a local Christian Television station and continued to be active in the work in Latin America.

She home-schooled all four of their children through high school.

In response to God’s leading she married Henry Pulsifer in November 2010, and is his partner as he fulfills the ministry God has given him. Their main focus is providing training to native leaders outside the U.S. This includes working with Bud's son Scott to provide training for the leaders in the work he established.
