Paul,
I don’t normally do this, but because of the timing I just HAD to share this
with you!
My wife and I run a few businesses, as I previously shared with you.
One of the businesses is a monthly publication (newsletter), which we put
out for Periodontists across the country. About 8 weeks ago, a Dr. in
Atlanta contacted us and was seemingly very interested in our product, but
for whatever reason, after a few weeks his interest seemed to die down and
he dropped out of contact with us completely. We were bummed, because it
was going to be our biggest account, yielding about $20,000 per year in
sales to us.
Just this afternoon he called Wendy (out of the blue) and wanted us to know
that he is still very interested and wants us to get going on setting up his
account!
Praise the Lord!
I really believe, as I told Wendy on the phone a few minutes ago, that this
is the first of many rewards our Father in Heaven wishes to give to us for
being obedient in supporting your ministry with our tithe monthly! How
exciting!
What a mighty, mighty God we serve!
- Phillip.
Paul,
I just returned home from your “Days of Elijah” Conference in Lancaster. All I can say is WOW! The whole conference was outstanding. The speakers were fantastic and the worship was like being in heaven. Thank you and your team for putting this whole thing together.
I am the guy who told you that I was the converted Baptist! :) The turning point in my deeper walk with my Messiah occurred when you came to Berean Baptist Church in Mansfield, Ohio for the first time (2001 or 2002). My walk with the Lord had grown cold, but that night the worship touched my soul and refreshed me. My Spirit was quickened and I grew incredibly thirsty to pursue a deeper walk with the Lord.
I began attending a Messianic Congregation in addition to my Sunday Church, and began to understand the Bible from a Hebraic perspective. I had been an adult Sunday School teacher for many years, and it was humbling to find out how much deeper the OT Scriptures could be mined. I am learning so much and have brought those new insights and perspectives into my teaching. My love
for the Lord has grown so mucher deeper and vibrant as my understanding has increased and my worship has been more Spirit filled. Yes, I thank the Lord each day for you and how the Lord used you to jump start my spiritual life.
I have had a long career in business management, primarily human resources and manufacturing and printing management. Although this has provided a living for me and my family, I have felt that the Lord has been preparing me all my life for a work He wishes for me to accomplish. I have spent about 14 years as a leader in the Evangelism Explosion Ministry, and have taught evangelism courses in churches here in Ohio, in Albania and Switzerland.
During this weekend I have been convinced that Yeshua is indeed returning very soon. Before I thought He might, but now the Spirit has confirmed it to me. So, I ask myself : What can I do to help further the Kingdom to the greatest extent in the little time remaining? How can the Lord use me? I am totally sold out to whatever He has for me.
So now what? Henry Blackaby teaches in his study, “Experiencing God”, that we should look to see where the Lord is working and join Him. It is obvious that the Lord is working mightily in your ministry. If there is a way I can help? Please let me know.
My wife and I are World Partners with you, and we will continue to support your work financially and with our prayers. Thank you again for what you have done in my life. I will always be grateful to you for shining the light in a new direction in my walk with the Lord.
- Steve McElhatten
