I haven't been part of the way Ministry since late in 1980's. After graduating from The Way Corps 1985, I served with the way Ministry for about 4 or 5 years. Since that time I have been an independent Minister running fellowships in my home and in other places for almost 30 years now. I do not look back too much, even though I'm thankful for the training that I received. I look forward to the prize of God's holy calling in each of us and what I will share here and everywhere is what I am doing and what I want to do. I'm not interested in going over past failures or successes. Here's a post that I just posted recently on Facebook.
You probably noticed that the header says Faithful in Christ Ministries, Serving Home Churches. I'm proud to announce that I am now part of Faithful in Christ Ministries.
I have been a independent Minister for many years now. A Teacher, Author, Public Speaker and I have invited people to my home and to others' homes for the purpose of teaching. I was always glad to work with other like-minded people and Ministries for the furtherance of the Gospel.
I took some time to think about and research before deciding to serve with Faithful in Christ Ministries. Let me share with you some of what went into my decisions.
Two years ago I traveled across the United States on my way to see my son in Spokane, Washington. I stopped to see Ministries from Maine, to New York, to Virginia, to South Carolina, to Ohio, to Illinois, to Kansas, to Colorado, to California, to Texas, then finally ending up back in Maine. I had some similarities to all the Ministries that I stopped at but the one that I felt the most kindred and like-mindedness was the ministry in Illinois, Faithful in Christ Ministries. I have been to two Weekends in The Word with them, two Family Camps and what impressed me the most was there steadfastness on the integrity and accuracy of God's Word.
They want to teach the accuracy of the Word. They work very hard to make sure that what is taught is the rightly divided Word to the best of their ability. That was the most important thing to me.
Secondly was the ministry itself. I found them to be faithful men, honest men of good report. They have board members who have different functions in the ministry. They discuss and work through things once a month to make sure they're doing things the right way.
They have very good accounting practices. They are faithful to make sure what they're doing is Godly, honest and has the most impact possible for the furtherance of the Gospel.
I find that the president and head pastor of Faithful in Christ Ministries, Charlie Quillen, to be a very capable and well seasoned in the Word. A faithful man to God. He is gentle with people. He sees the best in everybody. People respond favorably to his teaching Ministry. I found him to be a very good, faithful and trustworthy minister of God's Word.
In our discussion of the possibility of me serving with Faithful in Christ Ministries, I asked them what was required of me. What would they want me to do. Their response was they did not want or require anything from me. They just wanted to help me with my ministry. That blessed me tremendously.
I just wanted to be able to continue in what I have been doing, teaching God's Word, writing about God's Word and ministering to people whenever I get a chance. What I see here is that this gives me a bigger platform to make known to more people what I have available. My goal is to reach out and get God's Word out to more people. That's why I'm excited to be serving with Faithful in Christ Ministries.
Ordination
