Humble
Beginnings
The Radio Ministry
ver
Increasing
Faith
Ministries (EIF) began
more than 30 years ago in a
small, cramped, dimly-lit
closet in the McCarthy
Circle area in Los Angeles in early
1972. At that time, a young passionate minister by the name of
Frederick K.C. Price sat with
the door closed, a single light
bulb over his head and portable
cassette tape recorder at his
side.
This young pastor
believed that it took the same
amount of effort to teach the
many, as it did to teach the
few. He thought, Why
just minister to those in
attendance at church on
Sunday mornings, when
I can reach thousands of
people with the Word
feature article
Marriages have been restored and children, who were lost,
have been reconnected with their parents and with God and
people are being delivered from fear and prejudice all over
the world. In October 1997, Dr. Price taught his landmark
and controversial series, Race, Religion & Racism. Years
later this same series was aired in South Africa and other surrounding countries and the reception of this teaching was
received well. This is a miracle for that part of the world.
Yet, with all our celebrating of this 30-year event, we know
this milestone could not have been achieved if it were not for
the faithful financial support of our viewers, listeners and
FaithPartners. Your contributions, as valuable supporters,
cannot be measured. Only God knows the sacrifices you
have made and will reward you accordingly for what you
have sown into His Kingdom through the ministry of
EIFM. And, we will continue to teach and proclaim the living Word of God because of your future prayers and financial
support.

This year, we are celebrating our 30th
Anniversary on the airwaves through
Ever Increasing Faith Television. I am
ever grateful to the Heavenly Father for
His faithfulness to me as a result of my
obedience to do that which He instructed me to do.
I am one who is ever learning and ever
growing. I am always seeking opportunities to improve everything I do. To
that end, I am soliciting your input
regarding a very important decision.
Before I ask you to offer your input, Id
like to give you a brief overview of my
vision for the Ever Increasing Faith
Magazine. Many of you may remember
the Magazine was called The
Messenger for many years. It was, I
believed, to be an extension of the TV
Ministry in print to our TV viewers and
partners.
As we go forward, I want to find out
whether this magazine continues to
minister to you, if you want to continue
receiving it, should we continue publishing it and if you would be willing to give
a small annual donation specifically for
the magazine to help cover the cost of
producing it.
If you would be so kind as to fill out the
enclosed survey, if you have not previously done so, I would greatly appreciate
it. My aim remains to always be a good
steward of that which God has entrusted to me. Thank you in advance for your
feedback and remember; you are helping
to make it happen!
AN INCENTIVE TO PARTICIPATE
Theres even an incentive to participatewell send you a free mini-book if
you complete the survey and provide us
with your mailing address by
September 30, 2008. Thank you for
your time and for your interest in Ever

Today, she has influenced millions of women to apply their faith to
fight the good fight as a featured personality on Lindoras commercials.
Lindora Lean For Life Program Nurse Practitioner and
Director of Lindora Online, Shelly Lummus, R.N., M.N.,
F.N.P.c., praised Angelas hard work.
Angela is an inspiration to many Lindora patients and to the
community, said Lummus. Her dedication to her health and the
benefits of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight has motivated many others to achieve the same, great results! Angela is a wonderful, healthy role model.
But it wasnt an easy journey, commented Angela.
I kept saying to myself, Just face it! You're going to be fat
forever! said Angela. You're never going to get it together!
But I did it!

Five years ago, when Angela would look in the mirror, Fat
Angie, a sinister alter-ego who ate indiscriminately, would stare
back. But today, when Angela looks in the mirror, shes not Fat
Angie. Shes Phat Angie a svelte 5-foot-8-inch beauty who wears
a sensational size six. The disciplined woman God called her to be.
God has come to give you life more abundantly, but you must
choose life, said Angela. By applying the Word, I was able to make
decisions that didnt sabotage my happiness, my health or my purpose. I encourage you to make a commitment to be your strongest
advocate, even when no one else will. Im fortunate to have a loving
and supportive family, but I had to choose to overcome through
Christ. So can you.EIF

PROSPERITY:
GOOD NEWS FOR GODS
PEOPLE
By Dr. Frederick K.C. Price
Says Dr. Price, In this book, I want to show you
Gods plan for prosperity, and how He intends for all
Believers to be financially secure. Critics want to
dismiss this as name it and claim it. Its nothing of
the sort. It is the very blueprint for how any
Christian should conduct his or her life when it
comes to money. Prosperity is the result of doing
Gods Word.
In this new book release Dr. Price presents a comprehensive analysis of what the Bible says about wealth and money
what God saysand how we, as Believers, fit into the picture.
Today, more than ever, the Body of Christ needs money to spread
the gospel. Learn how you can be a channel that God can use to
get His covenant established in this earth realm.

A Generational Blessing
A Celebration of
Fathers Day
he year 2008 is
truly a year of new
beginnings for my
family and I. On
January 22nd at 7:11
am, my wife Angel
gave birth to
Frederick K. Price, Jr. Seeing
my son born was an experience
of unimaginable joy.
The next great defining
moment was watching my
father, Dr. Frederick K.C.
Price, dedicated my son in the
FaithDome. As a prelude to
the ceremony, the church had
dug up some archival footage of
my father dedicating me in our
old church on Crenshaw
Boulevard after I was born 29
years ago. In the video, my
mother stood adoringly beside
my father as he proudly held me
over his head and said, Frederick K. Price, I offer you up unto the
Lord our God and dedicate you to our Lord Jesus Christ.
After the video, my father performed the same ceremony with my
son. An epic experience, my mother, my wife, my sisters, other family members and I stood proudly by in awe as my father held my son
over his head and proclaimed, Frederick K. Price, Jr., I offer you up
unto the Lord our God and dedicate you to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Life isnt measured by the number of breaths we take; life is measured by the number of awesome events and blessings that take our
breath away. This wasnt an ordinary event. This heaven-staged
event was a demonstration of Gods faithfulness to perform His
Word.
When my older brother was tragically killed at the age of eight,
my father had to accept that his only son, Frederick K.C. Price, III,
his namesake and his heir apparent was gone. He wanted a boy after
Cheryl. He had hoped to name him Stephen Paul but Stephanie
Pauline showed up. When he became filled with the Spirit, he was
able to cast that care onto God. He didnt necessarily believe God for
a male child, but he believed God for restoration.
Being a good father, he invested his heart and soul into his three
daughters, although he grieved the loss of his first son for many years.
But what the Devil meant for evil, God changed for good. I think my
father learned a deeper more abiding trust and faith in the Lord dur-

Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. However, most Christians
are not living the more than enough lifestyle, even though they are reading the right Bible,
making the right confessions and attending the right church.

Grateful Hearts
When we sat down for dinner and prayed, my heart was overwhelmed with gratitude that God had favored us by bringing into
our home this servant who had sacrificed so much to spread the
Gospel. Then we dug our toes into the carpet and feasted.
Helen talked about her vision. Her goal was to complete her
seminary studies and return home to China to train pastors and
teachers. Leaving family and all that was familiar to live abroad and
study in a foreign language was a small price for this young woman
to pay in order to do Gods will. She was thrilled that He trusted
her with this charge and was absolutely unafraid to minister in a religiously hostile environment.
How grateful I was for this teachable moment for my daughter!
Here she sat listening to this slight, unimposing woman who was a
model of strength and humility. Ive often wondered whether this
encounter impacted La Nejs decision to go to the mission field
once she entered college.
On the drive back to campus days later, Helen and I talked of
our passion as women in ministry fully aware of the boundaries.
Though politically restrained, Helen was culturally free to teach and
preach. Though politically free, American women often face cultural restrictions in proclaiming the Gospel.
I often wonder about Helen. Because writing letters potentially put her ministry in danger, weve lost touch over the years. Today
Im married, and my husband moved us out of the apartment and
into our own home. Not surprisingly, weve maintained the practice
of removing our shoes and leaving them by the front doora silent
tribute to Helen.

decades, police departments from all over
