Our Story: Ministry in Review
The Past
While training for the Lord’s service at Ambassador Baptist College
it was evident that the Lord’s hand was on Brother Richard. He was named the
recipient of the prestigious Hand Revival Ministries Scholarship given to the
student showing the greatest promise in Evangelism and he was chosen by the
faculty to preach in the baccalaureate service.
From this promising beginning the Lord has continued to bless
Determined Ministries. Since graduating in May of 1996 the Lord has opened doors
for Richard to conduct over 400 multi-day, local church revivals, in 26 states
and six countries. The Lord has use Richard’s Bible filled “preaching of the
cross” to convict hundreds of their need for salvation.
The Present
2008 is the fifth straight year in which the Lord has allowed Determined
Ministries to schedule over 40 revivals. The Lord has also bountifully blessed
in that the Harpers have seen people come to Christ in almost every meeting so far this
year. Brother Harper also continues to serve as
President of the Ambassador Baptist College Alumni Association.
In 2005 Determined Ministries also expanded to include Daniel
and Hannah Brenneman. Beginning in September they will travel with the
Harpers and take part in several areas of ministry. Primarily, they will
be involved with the music ministry. Daniel will be directing the
congregational singing while Hannah will provide piano accompaniment. They
will join the Harpers in providing special music in each service and will be
valuable additions to the Kid's Club Ministry. They will be a blessing to
each church in which they minister.
The Future
The
2009 schedule is comfortably full and is already shaping up to be the busiest
year yet in full-time Evangelism for Determined Ministries and 2010 continues to fill up. As they go forward in the future the desire of
Determined Ministries is to serve the Lord while serving fundamental Pastors in
their local churches.
