Many I watched as these special friends, and at Union College. were familiar friends from previous soon-to-be friends stood and shared what it only the beginning. Elders Samuel Monnier, George Knowles, Bill Peeke, Jerry Page, and David Walkowitz led out in this seminar. Elder Monnier talked about making witnessing a way of life—not just something you do on Sabbath afternoon. Witnessing begins with a closely tuned relationship with Jesus. That happens not just through spending quality time with Jesus in the morning (although it begins there), but through keeping in touch with Him by praying every hour on the hour all through the day. What do you pray for every hour? First, for your character to be transformed into one like His. If we are to win our neighbors to Christ, they must be able to see Him in us. Then you pray for the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. We can never finish God's work on earth without a full outpouring of the Holy Spirit. And we so often have so little because we ask for so little. Elder Monnier's presentation strongly emphasized that witnessing must begin with our own families. Love begins at home. He talked about relationships between meant to them to be at this Maranatha, and why they'd come. Some had sacrificed tremendously to be here, but I heard no complaints—only praise and joy shone brightly in their smiles.

I was just baptized a year ago, and when I heard about this LETS, I knew I had to come. I want to learn everything so I can share what I've learned with others!" "That's the Spirit of Maranatha!" I thought. "It's learning to share!" My thoughts raced back further to my first encounter with Maranatha. 1982. I was living with my three boys in a small picturesque Rocky Mountain community west of Loveland. Wonderful neighbors with whom I longed to share spiritual things surrounded me. I felt tremendously burdened with a sense of the nearness of the end of time. Would my neighbors be ready to meet Jesus? This weighed on my mind. Yet, even though I'd been an Adventist for eleven years, had worked as a Bible worker, and been through several lay-witnessing training programs, I didn't know how to begin to reach out to my neighbors.

I Knew I Had To Be There It was just then that I heard that RMC was planning to hold an eight-day witnessing training seminar in February at Glacier View Ranch. Although eight days seemed like a long time, I knew I had to be there. I had to learn to share this message with my neighbors. I went having no idea how God would use this experience to totally transform my life. Maranatha I was husbands and wives, and between parents labored for, would be converted."
