A Testimony To God's Power

The following is a real letter we recently received from a man who held one of our Seminars and had MiM Faculty member John Campbell put the event on:

John:

Thanks again for being here with us in Lisle last month. The “Success that Matters” seminar was well received and a real blessing to our ministry.

As pastor I get the privilege of being involved in people’s lives, or at least supporting leaders who are involved in people’s lives. That means I know things that are going on at a seminar that many don’t see or understand. For example, when you were with us…

• One young man, married less than a year, was considering ending his marriage and leaving his wife
• One man was struggling with an addiction to pornography
• One man was struggling with how to tell his wife they were deeply in dept
• One man has been out of work for over a year and was feeling so useless he was considering ending his life
• One father was there with his two sons, both of whom have been very far from God

The list could go on, and I am sure there were many stories that that weekend that I didn’t know about. I can tell you this. In each of the above cases God used you to make a profound and significant difference in the lives of the men who were there. The young couple are in counseling and the man is recommitted to making the marriage work. The man struggling with pornography shared this with his small group and they are all helping him get help. The man in debt not only told his wife, but God honored that honesty with a new and dramatically better job opportunity that will help them get their feet back under them. The man who was considering ending his life has found new hope, even though he still hasn’t found a job. One of the sons joined our men’s group the next week and has been in church every week since. (We’re still praying for the other son!)

I thought you should know these things, because I’m sure one of the hardest things about what God has called you to do is to plant seeds but never see the harvest. Imagine spending all that time planting the hostas only never seeing them grow… OK, maybe that is a bad example (grin).

Seriously, I wanted you to get a glimpse of the fruit that God made happen through you. You were such a blessing to us! Many lives were touched. And I’ve already used the Wrigley Field story twice.

Have a blessed Christmas and a fruitful New Year!
