Sue’s mother used to say that there are many ways to skin a cat in problem-solving! And another favorite quote she shared with me is, do not just have knee-jerk reactions to problems. Instead, take them to the Lord in prayer. ~ Sue Sauer. Three of the outstanding qualities of Ron and Sue Sauer are their love for the Lord Jesus Christ and their commitment to helping others, and how much they helped me personally. ~ Bill Greguska

About Pastor Ron and Sue Sauer!

I have known Ron and Sue Sauer since 2003, and during that time, I have witnessed the love of the Lord shining through both of them; Sister Sue, who is gifted in many areas, had a deep love and respect for the Lord and his passion for helping others. Sue is very wise concerning life and godliness and is excellent at giving wise counsel. She has been sharing Christ’s love with the young women at Moody Bible Institute, where her hubby Ron is a professor. Sue is an excellent wife to her husband, Dr. and Pastor Ron Sauer, and a tremendous caregiver to Sue’s mother, who lived happily with them for 40 months until she suddenly went Home to Heaven in 2016.  After Sue’s mother passed away, Sue took a course to be a Nurse’s Assistant to help others as she helped her mother. ~ Bill Greguska

God Helps People. If They Are Willing To Be Helped, He Can Help You Too!

Find real hope when you put your trust in God.

One of the best ways to find encouragement when frustrated or down is to encourage someone else. It may sound strange, but go ahead and try it. You will see for yourself that it works!

This website started in 2007 with help from Pastor Ron Sauer and his wife, Sue Sauer. (doing something to encourage others is a blessing to them and indirectly yourself). ~ Bill Greguska

Ron Sauer and Sue Sauer Share Their Testimonies!

God Has Blessed Sue Sauer!

Sister Sue Sauer is an excellent cook, homemaker, and outstanding piano teacher. However, her love for Jesus Christ and helping others in need is the most significant thing. 

Sue has been gifted with the ability to listen and form substantial biblical responses to those she counsels. They tried diligently to keep my marriage together as they advised my ex-wife and me for many months in person, on the phone, and via emails.

Dedicated To Helping Others For Christ’s Sake!

Without hesitation, Ron and Sue Sauer reflect on what it means to be Christians using their giftedness for the good of individuals at church, Moody, and whoever the Lord puts in their life. They have been a blessing to me in their counsel and his faithful teaching and preaching fromInstitute God’s Word. I kept asking them how to repay all they had done to guide me through my marriage storm and afterward. I distinctly remember them saying that I should comfort others with the comfort that I received from Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:3-4) That is how this ministry of NeedEncouragment.com began from them encouraging me. ~ Bill Greguska

Sue Sauer ~ Fruit Of The Spirit

Sue’s husband, Ron Sauer, refers to her as Sweet Sue! If you knew Sue, you would understand why. She loves the Lord with all her heart and has committed her life to live for God. She has counseled others, such as the women at Moody Bible Institute, which she has done faithfully for many years. The young ladies come to her on a sign-up sheet and share their concerns with Sue to get some perspective from a woman who has some “mileage” in following Jesus Christ for their answers. She helped me in my life years ago when I was struggling very badly with my marriage, and even to this day, Ron and Sue Sauer tried diligently to keep my marriage together as they counseled my ex-wife and me at the time for many, many months in person, on the phone, and via emails.

Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant

Sue has gone far beyond what most people would consider enough help, and her efforts were not wasted. Sister Sue taught me that one of many things was to have an open palm with people and things. She said that if God takes an individual or something out of my life for His reasons, it will not hurt so poorly compared to if I held on very tightly. Ron and Sue Sauer are a strong team who works together very well. Ron has been an Interim pastor for almost 30 years in Naperville and a Moody Bible Institute professor. Sue, behind the scenes, Naperville has been a big help for Ron in general and with his Pastored congregations. They have been like a one-two punch to lead the churches he has been assigned to by God.

Ron And Sue Have Been An Inspiration  Sue Sauer ~ No Greater Joy!

Pastor Ron and Sue Sauer share the Joy the Bible talks about in 3 John 4.

That inspired me to start a 24-hour phone helpline with pre-recorded messages, and then in 2007, I began Needencouragement.com because of all the encouragement Ron and Sue gave me, so I could share some encouragement with others as they suggested.

Ron and Sue Sauer also has taken time out of their lives to care for the needs of their 93-year-old mother. They also have two grown boys, Joe and Jeff, who have become men who love the Lord. She lives her life to please the Lord;  you can see how she lives.

Sue has also taught piano lessons for many years and is magnificent in the kitchen as a healthy food type person. She grew up as a military kid and was very proud of the Institute of her daddy. I have been blessed to call Sue my friend ever since 2003.

Sue Sauer Talks About What To Consider Before Dating / Be Anxious!

Sue Sauer made this artwork to express the scripture in Philippians 4:6-7

• Like fishing, circle the worm on the hook for some time before taking a bite off the hook. (AMEN!! Don’t let yourself get emotionally involved with looks or words, but present all those things to the Lord for HIS evaluation first! Realize that your heart is in His hands, and don’t take your heart out of His hands.
• Do not fall madly in love because you will get hurt. (PRECISELY!! The word “MADLY” is just what I talked about in #1)
• Practice Open Palm a little more seriously (holding everyone and everything to God, not grasping onto it. (ABSOLUTELY!! But not just ‘a little’! Don’t let fear have anything to do with it unless it is the proper fear of God.)
• Do not let the conversation go to marriage within the first 3 to 6 months? (AMEN!!! Six months is vastly better than 3, and a year is better than six months unless THE LORD makes it VERY, VERY understandable with many “signs and wonders” and advice. Become a keen observer of this person in many circumstances. You will know.)

More Wise Tips About Dating To Consider:

• I don’t trust a man/woman with my heart until I KNOW I can trust him/her. (This KNOWING happens little by little, NOT all at once, unless you want weeds that are “here today and GONE tomorrow.” It takes a while to grow a tree with deep roots. Observe where this potential mate is rooted and how deeply. Keep learning how to guard your heart and wait on the Lord who strengthens your heart.”)
• Keep my eyes open for red flags. (“Wide open,” please! And thank the Lord that He reveals them. If your heart is in His calm control, you can more clearly see and discuss these flags with Him and even with her to help her analyze and pray about where these are coming from and how to deal with them. Remember, the older a girl or guy gets [unless they are brought closer to the Lord, being changed by Him], the more hardwired to STAY like they have been, less open to change, which is necessary. For a marriage!! Mother says, “Just like the fan over your head! It has to be controlled by the button that will determine how fast or slow it goes.”)

You Do Not Have To Reinvent The Wheel!

• Do not let a man/woman get on the same or near the same level as God is in your life. (triple amen!!! Mother looks at Daddy’s picture every night and says, “Goodnight, my dear Austin. You will always be just under the first love of my life!” Austin & Virginia had almost 66 years of marriage.)
• Don’t assume a man/woman is wonderful. Be aware that the Lord is at hand and can point out what this person is like if you listen. Let them show you. 

Ron Sauer ~ Spiritual Nuggets From The Greek New Testament

Keep In Mind:

• Guard my heart because it’s the Wellspring of my life. (This is well worth your deep meditation on this verse: take each word and meditate – let it become part of your thoughts’ bedrock!)
• I may want a (man/woman) < particular spouse to share life with,> but I don’t need a woman to have a whole life. Allowing your thoughts to race ahead makes you vulnerable to trashing all your logical thoughts in the numbers we just covered! Prepare your heart! Make these more than a backpack you can throw off when your emotions take over!  Chew them and digest them, so they become nourishment for your very BE-ing —> the part of who you are by the Grace of God! Then you will be ready and able to enjoy a relationship with an eternal sister/brother for however long God wants you to walk alongside him/her. The time will benefit you both.)

The Big Picture About Life And Dating:

The Final Student Of F.F. Bruce (Pastor/Professor Ron Sauer)

Feelings People Have When Dating!

Puppy love is merely a beginner’s love; there is no foundation for it; it just springs up in the heart of the one who has it. It assumes a lot! Puppy love is overwhelmed with an impression. Be impressed but cautiously wait, realizing that anyone can look and sound good for a year! It’s after a year that cracks may be seen. Remember that a skilled person can hide the real self for SIX years!! 

Discerning Love

That’s why we must have discerning love. Intelligent love is mature love, which has learned to wait and give God what is essential to know about their character and how they handled the wounds and disappointments of life, arguments, grudges, likes, dislikes, habits, etc. Puppy love feels nice for a while, but it does no one any favors! It sets you up for some big disappointments, that’s why I called it “weeds which spring up today and tomorrow it’s gone” (today means a short time, like a month or so). I think that about sums things up. ~ Sister Sue Sauer
