The fact is that God never left me or any of us during our darkest times of my life, so after clearly realizing what God has done in my life, by helping me make it through many life struggles such as drugs and alcohol addiction, depression, stress, plus other issues that so many of us face in this world. The only logical response it to help others who are in simular situations that we were in so they too can discover a better life. You will read and hear many inspirational quotes and very encouraging quotes that hopefully will give you the encouragement you need to help you live a better life.
Encouragement Ministry began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2005. The reason I felt lead to encourage people to look to God to find the answers that they need was because I was helped many times in my life through so called crisis by others that God put in my life who helped me make it through, now after I was helped, we try to do the same for others & I hope you consider helping others too.
This scripture below is kind of how our Ministry of Encouragement got it's start. And also from my former pastor's wife Sue Sauer and the dedication & compassion she showed for me while I was having difficulties in my marriage. Always pointing me to Jesus Christ for the strength I needed to make it through. I asked her and her husband Ron what I could do to repay them for all the love, compassion, wisdom and strength they demonstrated to me in my time of trouble, and they did not want any money or anything but for me to comfort others with the comfort that I have received when the time was right.
This kept on echoing in my heart and mind until God put it upon me to start a 24 hour encouragement help line in 2005, then about 2 years later this web site came about to reach out to others with similar life troubles that I had gone through in my life and made it with God's help.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
What is the purpose of the Encouragement Ministry?
We are here to be a source of encouragement because we all have been discouraged some times in life. The question is how do we get from Discouragement to encouragement? We would like to help you discover this through a more clear focus. In this web site, you will be exposed to things to help sort some thoughts and feelings you might be going through?
This Ministry of Encouragement began with the intent to Encourage One Another. We are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are privileged to have encouraged thousands of people via our 24 hour help line since February 15, 2005. See what we have to offer as you view our many pages in this web site.
We (myself and Christian friends over the years in different capacities) try to point people toward a real and very
Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ, instead of just a lot of religious rules to follow. We encourage you to at some point to find a Bible Believing church in your area for personal instruction and fellowship (if you do not already have one?).
The bottom line is that our goal it to offer you instruction through our videos and many topic pages and Helpful Links. We believe your visit to our web site will be well worth your while and you will want to tell others you know about us.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
What ever you may be going through, remember that God is in control and he cares!
