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 600 multi-day, local church revivals, in 34 states
and seven countries. The Lord has use Richard’s Bible filled “preaching of the
cross” to convict thousands of their need for salvation.
The Present
2012 is the ninth 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.
For the first time since 2006 the Harpers will begin the year without a music
team. Over the last 5 years we have been privileged to have the Brenneman family with us for three years and Glenn Stevenson for the last two.
The Brennemans are currently involved in church planting in New York City and
Glenn is now pursuing his own evangelistic ministry. We will begin the
process of finding a new music team and will be seeking the Lord's guidance as
we look for the right couple. In the mean time Kimberly and Charity will
continue to serve the Lord in Kid's Club in each of our meetings. Charity
is now 14 and is an even greater help with the kids each night!
The Future
The 2013 schedule is comfortably full and is already shaping up to be the
busiest year yet in full-time Evangelism for Determined Ministries and 2014
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.
