"In the past two years I have been abandoned by my wife, abandoned and lied about by my former church, and even abandoned by some of my friends.  I, like others with like circumstances, need to be inspired, loved and challenged."

G. S., Connecticut

"I have been pastoring for 10 years, and have never experienced a crisis like I experienced this year.  I had a mental breakdown because of stress, burnout, sin, and ignorance of God's direction in my life.

Today I am back in the pulpit, working for the Lord.  Because of the Lord's leading and the ministry of Encouragement Dynamics every day looks brighter and brighter.  I want to deeply express my thanks and gratitude and praise God for using you, my brother, for being there when I needed help the most."

P. K., Washington

"I was voted out of my church in December after 45 people were saved in 5 months.  The people who voted me out were money hungry control freaks.  We are so hurt over this.  I have felt like never going back into the ministry because of all the hell a pastor has to go through.

Please keep my family and me in your prayers so God will lead us to healing.  I will be praying that the Lord will provide the finances you need to keep the ministry of Encouragement Dynamics going."

R. R., S. Carolina

"I would like to thank you for your commitment to the Lord in ministering to pastors and churches who are hurting.  The weekend you spent with us has convinced me to remain in my ministry and to recommit myself to the Lord's work.  I was very close to quitting the ministry altogether but the Lord used you to give me new hope and courage.

When a pastor is hurting he is not able to focus clearly and it is easy for him to think there is no point in staying true to the call of God upon his life.  Your gift of encouragement reminded me that the work is the Lord's.  I am His servant and there is still much to do for His glory."

G. C., Oregon

"Ministering in today's church can be very brutal, not only to the pastor but also to his wife and family.  I'm thankful that during those times when we are beaten up and are on the side of the road that we are not alone.  I sincerely believe that God has raised up Encouragement Dynamics for such a time as this.  Please know that you made a difference in my life and church."

T.C., Arkansas

"I wanted to express my sincere thanks for your timely visit to our church.  While the work here has been a great blessing and the people quite supportive, there was definitely an awakening following your visit.  My wife and I have received numerous expressions of love and encouragement from our congregation as a direct result of your message on Sunday morning.  It was as if a light bulb went on and for the first time many of them realized what it must be like for us in the ministry and how greatly they needed to tangibly express their love and support.  There is great value in your 'reminder' to congregations and I hope a great many more will hear that message."
