Two years ago Horst Ersel was Ingathering and contacted Steve and Carol Mertins. The Mertins, having studied the Bible on their own, had come to believe in tithing, so they asked Horst Ersel if the Seventh-day Adventist Church believed in tithing. Horst gave them a Bible Discovery Guide after answering their question, and told them to send it in if they wanted to study the Bible further. Precious After a couple of months they mailed the card, and another layman, Chuck Biggs, began studies with the Mertins. As the Mertins learned the truths of the Bible and accepted them, they, in turn, began studies with Ed and Jan Soto another couple who had been Cycle praying that they could find a church where worship would be more meaningful. Because of the faithfulness of these laymen of the Watertown, Wisconsin, Robert L. Dale Church and the follow up of their pastor, Ken Wade, the Mertins and later President the Sotos became members of the church. Wisconsin Conference The story does not end here, for these new members are studying with other members of their families, including teenage foster children both families have in their homes. It started with an Ingathering contact, continued with faithful laymen studying, a minister to follow up and baptize, and the cycle continues as these new members witness to others. If you can't reach the hundreds who are waiting to hear the Good News of salvation, how about starting with one at a time, and watching hundreds be reached as a result of the multiplied witnessing. May the Lord bless each faithful layman as he witnesses to the love and salvation that Jesus brings into his life.
