This John may be our highest call. It is humbling to me because I have under God's direction handed over Grace International Ministries and the Heartland Churches to Heath's oversight. This has left me searching for my place. I'm finding that my ministry effectiveness has increased but mostly to sons and daughters. My leadership now is to those who permit me to lead them rather than to those just under me. Great and wild times ahead. Thanks for such understanding and confirmation on the future. Somehow we have to connect again. Herb Fatherhood seems to be my major call now and has been for the last 6-7 years. This John may be our highest call.

As you know, I lost my dad(best friend) to cancer several years ago. What a blessing to still have your dad prospering at 93! Wow! I feel your grief in losing your spiritual father. Losing any father, spiritual or natural, leaves such an incredible void in our lives! Especially when they are taken from us way, way to early. But your right, it ultimately pushes us to look inside of ourselves, and push to be the men that they always encouraged us to become. Thank God for that powerful heritage in our lives. The last 9 months I have dedicated my ministry to breathing every once of life I have into my spiritual (sons)and natural son. Why? On January 31st of this year, I fell off a latter at my house. I fell face first, hitting my head on the concrete sidewalk. Bleeding severely from my mouth, nose and ears, I thought my time to go be with the Lord was happening. As I went unconscious several times on the way to the emergency room, I remember my 10 year old son David praying in the Spirit with his hand on my shoulder. I believe it was his faith that kept me semi-conscious! In the middle of all that mess, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and declared that the transfer to the sons (Jehu, Isaac, Solomon, Timothy), for the completion of the building process, was taking place. He said that my time was not finished, and that the enemy was serious about attacking the fathers with his full might! At that moment, He commissioned me, in the middle of my extreme pain, to dedicate my thoughts, actions, and life to my natural son first, and then to the spiritual sons & daughters He had entrusted me with. I'm not really sure why I am sharing this with you, but your blog, and Pastor Billy Joe's passing stir the fathering calling up on the inside of me like never before. The Solomons are getting ready to build what the David's could not. There is great warfare over this, but it happening, and its happening now! Pastor Herb: I read your blog and it blessed me.

My sister visited the Heartland Church in Logansport a few weeks back and said that she really enjoyed it. I have been going to a church here in Plymouth, but I am not real comfortable there for reasons I am not prepared to talk about right now. I would like to just get some information about your church and then maybe attend one of your services. Hi, I was just looking up your website.
