The Wise Man

Today Shannon and I met with a wise man. His name is Pastor Keith and he is the head pastor of the Willmar Assembly of God church. We wanted to share with him our vision and hear his thoughts. He is familiar with us and with End Time Glory Ministries and Wayne and Debra Zimmer. He asked how we had gotten to this point in our lives to be looking at this particular ministry. He had several good thoughts to share with us. Some he had heard from others and some were his own.
*Shannon needs to set foot in the country as I have. We agree and that is planned for September. He was glad to hear that.
*God only calls into the ministry those who cannot stay out of it. Can we stay out of it? No .
*What is the worst case scenario if we go and it doesn't work out? Are we willing to live with it?
Yes.
*Would we be able, at this point, to have peace with the decision not to go?
No, not unless God makes it very clear we are not to go.
* If we are unable to have that peace and would always have regrets then we probably should go.
Yup, probably.

We enjoyed our time with him and apreciate his counsel and prayers. He asked permission to share this information with his staff so we have more of a prayer covering. We granted it, with apreciation. We look forward to formally announcing our plans to our entire congregation at a later date, yet to be determined.

Thank you Pastor Keith.
