Winter 2008 Ministry Update Pastor Larry Willige

We just returned from Toronto, Canada where we ministered for Pastor Dr. Gaetano Sicilia and Bible Faith Church. Then on Monday, November 17, 2008, we went to Kingston, Ontario for the 1000 Island Senior Pastor’s Conference. 

We are so thankful for you, Our Partners!  Because of your faithful support to Pastors Helping Pastors, we were able to attend and minister to these men and women of God!  At this conference, they only receive an offering for the featured speaker. But, because of your faithful support, we were able to go and be a blessing!

While we were in Canada, the Lord reminded me of the word He gave us before we moved to Missouri.  When I stop and think about it and realize how He blessed Abraham with this same word, it makes me want to SHOUT!  “Those that bless you, I will bless, so that you can be a BLESSING!”

All in all, this has been a very successful year.  The first half of the year was for recovering my health.  It has been amazing to me the number of people who have come to me and talked about how I look so different and healthy.  In Canada, one individual wanted to know if I was wearing built up heals?  He said, “You look taller.”  Another said, “You are standing up so straight.”  Actually, I am still getting stronger each day.  I go back to the Dr. in February 2009 and he will be able to release me after a year of helping me get back to normal.  Hallelujah!

THANK YOU SAINTS!

Beverly and I want to thank each of you that are faithful in your giving to Pastors Helping Pastors. It is because of your faithfulness that we can go and be a blessing. Most of the mission trips we go on, we never receive enough offerings to pay for the trip. The churches in Bogotá never receive an offering for us. The bottom line is that we go because Father God instructs us to and it is up to Him to cover the expenses. That is where you come in! According to Ephesians 1:18, the riches are in the saints! The world is not going to pay to get the Gospel out; it is left to the believers. So, when you give, you are helping to get the Gospel out and you receive a blessing from your gift (SEED) also.
