Herb, I didn’t want you to think your messages, advice and story were going unread. I’ve been reading them and I been sharing with my guys. I have read the one on Liability, and also how to qualify our women.
Last month on a request we went over the guidelines for this ministry and had a Q & A afterwards. The guys appreciated as we have had a lot of new members since the beginning 13 or 14 years ago.
Thank you for doing this. Roger Duenes of Cornerstone Church, Long Beach, CA.
It’s so great to hear from you, Roger! Praise the Lord for the faithfulness of you and the men of Cornerstone Church to your widowed and single parents. You guys are a fantastic testimony to those who have recently started the ministry. Keep up the good work and tell your men hello for me. Herb
