ENCOURAGEMENT
When I was a new convert in the early 1970s, Anita and I were part of a youth coffeehouse ministry in Fort Wayne called the Adam’s Apple. This ministry reached literally thousands of young people in that turbulent time through the ministry of the Director, John Lloyd.
One evening after the concert and preaching, John Lloyd approached me and asked if I had considered attending CTC, a 2-year Junior Bible College just starting up. I replied that I had thought about it. He responded, “A guy like you should consider going. Its going to be great.”
His encouragement got me thinking, and I did enroll in that very first class of CTC. That was the beginning of where we are today. Because a man pushed a little in encouraging me to go beyond my comfort zone, I entered the ministry. I value the ministry of Rev. John Lloyd and have tried to encourage others down the same road. He’ll be speaking to us this weekend and I hope he speaks an encouraging word into your life.
