Some Christian Influences God Put In My Life!
Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
Pastor Ron and Sue Sauer have displayed what it truly means to be Christian influences, as they wholeheartedly dedicate their giftedness for the betterment of individuals at church, Moody, and anyone whom the Lord brings into their lives including myself. Their unwavering commitment to spreading God’s love has had a profound impact on me, particularly through our frequent exchanges of emails, texts, and heartfelt conversations. Having served as a professor at Moody before retiring and now serving as an intern pastor in Illinois, Ron possesses immense wisdom that he graciously shares with those around him. I consider myself incredibly fortunate and blessed to have received his excellent counsel and cherished fellowship over the years. Likewise, Sue’s influence has been instrumental in shaping my faith journey. Her compassionate nature shines through in every interaction we have had. In times of doubt or struggle, she has consistently pointed me towards Jesus Christ with words of encouragement that resonate deeply within my soul.
Though there have been numerous Christian influences throughout my life – each playing a significant role – Sue Sauer (especially), My Mom, Mark Mallwitz, Brian Larson, John Wegner, Stuart Briscoe, Tom Greguska, and Cousin Joe Bova stand out among them all due to their profound impact on my spiritual growth. However it is Ron and Sue who have gone above and beyond what could be expected from any mentor or guide when it comes to pointing me towards Christ. I vividly recall them sharing 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. We were not created to be Lone Ranges in our Christian faith, so when I was very depressed from being divorced, they strongly encouraged me to encourage others. That is how this ministry of NeedEncouragment.com began in 2007 from them encouraging me. and we need one another to help and be helped. We all need good Godly Christian influences. I distinctly remember Ron and Sue saying that I should comfort others with the comfort I have received from Christ which was a tremendous influence in my life. ~ Bill Greguska

Mike Hayden Helps Orphans And Inner City People In Milwaukee!
Because Mike Hayden taught me about the Holy Spirit, I got stronger faith in God, and my walk with God improved significantly! In 1992, I broke up with a girlfriend who attended Elmbrook church; I was uncomfortable attending church while still going there because the breakup was so new. So I decided to try going to Eastbrook church temporarily, which turned into six weeks because I stumbled across a Bible study that Mike Hayden was leading, which happened to be about the Holy Spirit. I was recently born again in 1986, so I was a newer Christian. While attending his class, I learned something that I never knew before, which had to do with the Holy Spirit.
Bill Marris Teaches The Bible Through Jewish Eyes!
- God Has Blessed Bill Marris To Be A Knowledgeable Teacher Of God’s Word! Bill Marris has gotten stronger faith by knowing and loving Jesus Christ more over the years. Bill is a personable, intelligent, gifted teacher of the word of God, and he is a friend of mine. I have been going to his Campfire Campfire Convocations for years now. The campfire Convocations are located in a beautiful setting on the edge of the woods, and the teaching is very Biblical because it sees things through the eyes of the Jewish people. Bill is very good at connecting the Old Testament from our Jewish friends’ viewpoint to make a total picture of my Christian faith. Bill Marris is an excellent teacher! His teaching is in Hartland, Wisconsin. View his links above.
