2What Is Truth Helpers, Incorporated?
- Truth Helpers, Inc. (THI) is a 501(c)3 non profit
corporation a Christian organization created to
work together to help other Christians proclaim
the gospel of Christ. - The name is derived from 3rd John 8, That we
might be fellow-helpers to the truth. (KJV) or
as stated, so that we may work together for
the truth (NIV). - Just as the name Truth Helpers states, THI is an
organization that helps those spreading the truth
of Gods Word, with a particular emphasis on
foreign missions.
3Why was Truth Helpers, Incorporated Founded?
- When I surrendered my life to God, I truly
expected my service for Him to be in foreign
missions. Though I had no idea where He might
call me, I was ready to follow.
4However, God had other plans,
- From the time of my first pastorate in Indiana,
God allowed me to have a heart for missions
beginning with a couple serving in the back parts
of Haiti. Through my position as pastor of
several large church, I have been able to raise
millions of dollars for the mission fields and I
have also been privileged to visit many areas to
preach and to encourage those who have gone.
5In 1994, after over 40 years of ministry
- the greater part spent in pastoring, I faced the
fact that the stamina needed to meet the
demands required of a pastor was diminishing and
I would soon no longer have the physical energy I
needed. My passion for the Lords work, and my
desire to serve Him had never waned. Retiring
from the ministry of spreading the good news was
not an option. Finding a less physical method to
so was compelling.
6This became a matter of prayer and meditation for
me.
- I read in Psalms 9213,14, Those that be planted
in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the
courts of our God. They shall still bring forth
fruit in old age they shall be fat and
flourishing - This was what I longed for. Therefore, I began
to pray and to search for a way that even in my
declining years I could have an effective
ministry for Him. - God began to reveal his plan and the result was
Truth Helpers, Inc.
7During this time,
- while on a mission trip to Romania to preach to
some young Romanian men studying for the ministry
I experienced a situation that impacted me for
life. - I carried my teaching outlines in my Bible.
During one of the breaks, the Romanian students
collected money to purchase film to photograph my
outlines and distribute them for studying. - The pastor of one of the Largest Baptist church
in Oradia, Romania shared with me that All the
books translated into the Romanian language
(Theology, Commentaries, and other resource
materials) occupy 14 inches of shelf space.
8From that experience,
- God led me to establish a website on which I
could post sermons and lectures, study guides,
etc from the years of my ministry so that people
from other countries, such as those in Romania
could freely study and download what ever they
needed.
9God then brought into our lives
- in a miraculous way---a talented young preacher
who also designed websites. I consider Dan Ondra
to be the best available. The day I spoke to him
about my dream of a web site, he had a web page
up and running.
10Though it is still a work in progress
- we already have several hundred sermons and
articles available where those of other
nationalities can click and have everything
translated into their language.
