We have worked closely with these ministries and found them to be on God' agenda and not mans in supporting our troops.

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Phil....outstanding encouragement to not weary in our work for God.

Appreciate it....please visit my devotional website: www.faith2change.com

It is part and portion to a daily devotional ministry written and emailed to
Servicemen deployed and stationed overseas and to others in the US desiring
to have 'fresh manna' in the morning....additionally, provides distribution
of books to those who request books based on those listed on the resources
page. It began with Sis Buster emailing the brothers and then she
transitioned it to me in November....

Appreciate the word...yes, we must keep on keeping on knowing its not about
us, But Its about Him.

Regards,
Bernard

For His redeemed our Lord Jesus instructs, “It is written, ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ “ Matthew 4:4, Deut. 8:3

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. II Timothy 3:16, 17

Biography of Ralph & Wilma Porter
Ralph was born and raised in Ohio. He was drafted into the U. S. Army after graduating from Bowling Green University and found himself being sent to the Philippines. Stationed at Clark Air Base, He was invited to a Bible study at the home of Sgt. Allen. Sid Hendry was the teacher. Through the ministry of Sid and the Word of God, Ralph became a Christian and participated in Bible studies, witnessing opportunities, and mission trips. C. P. Tarkington also had an influence on Ralph as did Chuck & Jane Hall.

Wilma grew up in rural Yuba, Wisconsin, on a dairy farm. She attended church from birth and was saved at an early age. The desire to be active in missions grew from reading books about missionaries. After graduation from high school, Wilma went to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago to receive Bible training. During her senior year at Moody, Ralph came to Chicago with a desire to attend Bible school. He began employment at Moody and in September of 1962 married Wilma.

Ralph finished Moody Bible Institute in January of 1965. Their first child, Rebecca, was born in February. Having applied to Overseas Christian Servicemens Centers, Ralph & Wilma moved to Denver at the end of March 1965. They spent five months as candidates working in the home office.
