REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE WITH EVANGELISM MATERIALS
 
Greetings in the name of Jesus.
 
I am a 50 year old fourth year theology student at SDA-Helderberg College in South Africa. As a course requirement I am expected to compile an evangelistic portfolio for my final grade as an assignment. I have tried to contact some Evangelist in the USA but there seem to be nothing coming forth. What I need to do is to identify two evangelist in the USA who have conducted evangelistic meetings and are willing to share their experiences with a South African Student. The  information must contain and outlines the following aspects:
i. Preparations before, during and after the meetings.
ii. Samples of advertising materials used for the meetings.
iii.Methods used in conducting the meetings.
iv.Samples of sermons content preached and description of luturgies used.
 
Please find in your gracious heart the means to enlist your help to a desparate man.
 
Thanking you in advance.
Frank Mdlalose

Dara Dietz, Sat, Nov 28 2009, 07:45pm

A Seventh-day Adventist Writer and recently published an account of my healing journey,

Whatever Good May Come”, One Woman’s Journey From Abuse to Victory.

I have shared my testimony with thousands of men and women who are hurting and confused. My only hope in sending out this email is to bless others with my testimony.    Below is an article I wrote several years ago.  I hope you will be blessed:

 

The Gift 

: By Dara Dietz


Why does a God of Love allow the innocent ones to be abused and hurt? Why doesn’t the Father step in to stop the abuse of those so unable to defend themselves? For years I tried but could not resolve this question, so I accepted with Paul the Apostle that, “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” 1Co:13:12.

As I have matured in my walk with the Father I have discovered answers that have satisfied my soul.  I believe the Father has given each of us free will.  We can choose to be evil if we like. We can choose to hurt others.  We live in a world of sin. By allowing free choice the Father has permitted that evil, pain and suffering will exist in this world.  Knowing this would have to be, our Father of love also designed that our trials would be our teachers. Our biggest hurts our biggest gifts.

Trials Are God’s Tools for Refining Us.  Trials are the gifts the Father allows into our lives to enable us to become more than we ever dreamed we could be.  A Trial can either refine and ennoble, or ruin a soul.  How we accept or reject life’s trials determine the work these events will exert in our lives. I have learned that when I thank the Father for every event that touches my life, I realize the gifts these events leave in their wake.  I begin to understand the wisdom that allows evil to sometimes appear to be in control.  I believe every act has a purpose, every intention is loving.  I know that my vision is very small.  I do not see the whole picture as God does.

 My Gift.  The men, who came so selfishly into my young life stealing my childhood while they ripped my young soul to shreds, will have to stand before the Judgment Bar of the Almighty One and face the wrongs they have done.  But for me, their acts, when filtered through the love of my Father, have become a wonderful gift.

It has taken years to grow into and open this gift-years of confusion, and pain, years of being misunderstood by everyone including myself. The Father alone understood the path I was walking. He continued to enable me to go the way I had to go.  Throughout the years of confusion and pain he was filling me with this wonderful gift. It was being delivered to my soul piece by piece, being delivered and set up.  Waiting for the time I would be able to open it up and become the woman God intended me to be. 

I am still a work in progress, no one ever arrives, in this life, at a place where it can be said, “This is it, I have attained it all. I have reached as high as a human can go.”  In this life, as we emotionally mature and grow, experiences that were once beyond our grasp become plain.  We can grow into our early experiences and begin to unwrap the gifts God has ordained for our growth. 

Discover & Open your Gifts. To find your gift you must have a faith-filled heart.  Learn to thank the Lord truly for every experience that has touched your life.  If you cannot think of a blessing that has come from the experience just say, “For whatever good may come of them,” and mean it. 

When you believe you release a power into your life that is able to transform the most devastating experience into your greatest blessing. You will be able to say honestly that you would not choose to return and change these things.  That because of the gifts they carry, you would choose this road again. The Father is able to make all that has touched your life good. He will give you back all that was taken and so much more besides.  All He asks is that you trust Him.

In my life the Father has allowed me to be stretched beyond what I believed could be endured. I have overcome it all in his strength. I am no longer afraid. I have acknowledged and accepted my past experiences as gifts from the Father.  I acknowledge and accept the affect these experiences have had in my life.  My world has been blown, I am not who I was. I have found that acceptance unwraps the gifts, blending all parts of me into the excellence that has become my life.  I have discovered that I am more.

All of heaven is just waiting for a heart to open in praise and faith. The bright morning of all your tomorrows is only a praise away.  Open the gift you have in your hands. Open it and find all your hopes and dreams are stored safely there.  You already have the gifts, now praise the Lord for the growth and wisdom they brought into your life, for the depths of hurt you found you could endure. You have been emotionally, mentally, and spiritually stretched by life’s trials and pains. Praise the Lord for the growth.  You are more for having passed through the fire.

If you are still in the midst of the trial and don’t yet know the outcome, praise the Lord for the opportunity to grow that is being provided. Tell Him you trust Him, and know if you could see and understand it all as He does you are sure you would choose this road too. He will enable you to accept the gift He is giving.  He will hold your world together.

To know you are safe in the Father’s care where nothing can touch you is to be sheltered under His wings.  He calls you to his high tower to enter and be safe.  To enter you must fully believe that all things come from Him.  When you know this without a doubt, then you will find that you are dwelling in safety under his wings.  The Evil winds may blow, but you will never again be blown, you are now grounded to the Rock.  “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalms: 18:2

Back Cover Text:
Dara Dietz begins her life story with a question:  “How does one go from being a victim to a victor?”  As a very young child, then through adolescence,  she found herself trapped in a family environment as well as in  a social religious community where she was neglected, betrayed and molested.   She easily could have lost her way.  She could have become an angry person, blaming others for all her misfortune and life circumstance.  It would be easy to understand her emotion.   Yet, her present life is one of counting her blessings and helping others heal naturally.


    What changed the direction of Dara’s life journey?  She chose to believe and travel with the power of love, God's love---a love that at first was not always easy to understand, trust or accept.  As her story reveals, it was Divinely life-transforming when she welcomed this unconditional love into her heart.   

     Dara’s life lessons are about choices and how great trials can be great teachers; how the biggest hurts can be the biggest gifts.  It is one’s choice how to learn the lesson.  Her story illustrates how her spiritual courage enabled her to make choices that allowed for acceptance, forgiveness and to be in the flow of Whatever Good May Come.

     This inspiring book is a must-read for those who have been in or are now experiencing a situation and feelings where all hope may seem lost. It is a book for people who love such individuals.

Author Biography:

Dara D Dietz is co-founder with her Husband of H.E.A.L. Marketplace, a private Natural Healing Association.  As a teacher and counselor she has been supporting the members of H.E.A.L. with Natural Healing information and herbal supports since 1998.  She continues to maintain strong ties to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.   Since healing her own kidney ailments she has assisted thousands of people in discovering and using natural herbal remedies. Dara has written and compiled numerous articles on a wide variety of natural healing topics.  Drawing from her own healing experiences and borrowing from the vast wisdom of natural healers long departed, she continues to provide H.E.A.L.’s international membership with down to earth natural healing wisdom in H.E.A.L.’s bi-weekly newsletters.  Dara and her husband currently reside in Rutherfordton, North Carolina.

Reader Comments:

"Writing one's life story can in itself be a life changing experience. This book is an outpouring of Dara's incredible courage to take temporary residence in an often painful past. She returned a wounded child, picked up strength through the journey of writing and reconciliation and finally left the past behind as a powerfully formed woman. Readers will be blessed by Dara's raw honesty and wisdom. Herein is a blueprint for recovery and living life with renewed faith and purpose."

Denise Layfield, Personal Historian

Owner of Life Speaks

“Whatever Good May Come” is a remarkable book.  In reading its pages, I am filled with a myriad of emotions as Dara takes us through the pages of her life.  I feel first the anger toward the perpetrators, embarrassment by religious leaders whom we trusted, and then sadness for the incredible injustices done to the most innocent people in the world---our children. 

Dara recites to us her life of discovery. She not only had to find a way to forgive the people whom she trusted the most, but through the years she had to first discover the depth of the injustices done to her.  She had learned to cope in a dysfunctional world, receiving love the only way she knew how. 

Through Dara’s generosity of heart, we are able to see how God can change the direst circumstances.  Dara has shown us the incredible power of forgiveness and restoration.  She leads by example and shows us how that same power can be ours no matter what the circumstances if we allow God to take control. 

I'm thankful to Dara for having the courage to share her journey with us.

I greet you in the precious name of Jesus and bring greetings for a prosperous New Year.  It was very nostalgic viewing your website and reflecting on how God has led and blessed.  As I reflect on the many wonderful memories I have of Grand Bahama and the fellowship I have shared with the membership on the island, I can only give thanks for His goodness.  I have watched your growth with interest and ask that you continue to pray for me and family as I pray for you and your families.  Hope it will be as delightful hearing from me, as it has been for me reminiscing on my journey there on that island, as I peruse your site.

God bless,

Infanta Crutchley
