“anyway.”

“People can be unreasonable, illogical and self – centred.

LOVE THEM ANYWAY.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives.

DO GOOD ANYWAY.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

DO GOOD ANYWAY.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them.

HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.

SUCCEED ANYWAY.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

BUILD ANYWAY.

Give the world the best you’ve got; it may never be enough;

BUT GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY.”

“Consequently, FAITH

1. comes from hearing the message, and

2. the message is heard through the word of Christ.” – Romans 10:17

DON’T GIVE UP!

What I was going to do today was not all that easy.

A REMINDER

In the truest sense of the word the rain was against me and the wind was also against me – and I was almost going to give up.

 But I did not. I succeeded eventual.

CAN I ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO GIVE UP!

PSALM 46:1-3

“God is

–our refuge and

–strength,

–an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

–though the earth give way and

–the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

–though its waters roar and foam and

The message at the entrance to the pharmacy

“BE MAGNETIC

WITH THE POWER OF

SCULPTING FIBRES!“

At the entrance to the pharmacy I am reading for the first time about the power of  “sculptic fibres”.

But I have read many, many times about the power of  God in the BIBLE, the Word of the Living God.

DO YOU GET THE MESSAGE?

“Want to make a difference in your Community?”

Last Sunday in the morning when I was on my way to church I took the following picture:

KAERCHER MAKES A DIFFERENCE

In the afternoon on the same day I read more about “making a difference”.

One advert said “Make a difference in your community”. The other ad asked the question “Want to make a difference in your community?”

Do you want to make a difference in your community?

Not long ago I read about a man who is making a difference in his community right now.

His name is Ernie Klassen. He used to be my teacher at Bible College in Germany and he lives now in Canada.

He begins a letter with “Dear fishers of men…” and with Matthew 4:19. At the age of 92, yes, 92, he is still on the street almost every day talking to people about the Lord Jesus Christ. In 2010 he distributed 2,500 tracts and gave away 1,200 Cds.

He was also the business manager of BIBELSCHULE BRAKE and people asked him how he managed to get money. He answered that God did not tell us to collect money, but to be his witnesses.

You probably know that missionaries go home after a number of years on furlough to visit their friends for financial support. We called Ernie Klassen uncle Ernie. Uncle Earnie did not need to do that. He says that God was his business manager.

He is now 92 years old, lives in Canada, is almost every day on the street, telling people about the LORD.

In 2010 he distributed 2,500 tracts and gave away 1,200 CD’s.

He used to be a teacher at the Bible College I went to many years ago!

Where are the fishers of men?
