I dedicate this fourth book to my brothers and sisters of the Bethel Ministerial Association. I grew up in this ministry. Founded by Rev A.F. Varnell in 1933, I started joining in the fellowship shortly after my birth in 1954. Mom and Dad were intimately involved in Bethel leadership from their early teens and throughout their lives.
My life was often touched by dear elders who saw my spiritual growth and decided to invest in it. Many of these heroes of the faith spoke into my young life at Bethel Youth Camp that I attended every hot summer in Southern Indiana.
Licensed as a minister with the BMA while attending the Air Force Academy, they prayed for me, followed my family’s progress through the years and never came up short in loving encouragement. Many of those who touched my life have already gone on to be with the Lord. But I will never forget their significance in my life and look forward to telling them when I see them in heaven, “thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed” by every one of you.
