Testimonials

Thank you for supporting EII and the ministry of local church and their pastors around the world. The impact of the ministry of EII is profound and beyond words for many. Rather than describing God’s work in their lives, we would like you to hear from them as they tell it in their own words.


From Southeast Asia Pastors:

Pastor 1

“I enjoyed learning about the Book of Proverbs, it helped me to understand the Book of Proverbs better. And it also helps me to have a good method to study and preach the Word of God more accurately. Thank you Professor for your enthusiasm in teaching. May God bless you abundantly.”

Pastor 2

“ I am touched by the passion of the professor who took the trouble to come to Vietnam to help God’s servants. I am very moved and would like to thank the benefactors who stood beside and supported the professor to conduct the program. Thank God for using you, as well as Pastor Phan for connecting, Rev. Nhat prepared everything very wonderfully. The subject (Study of Proverbs) is very meaningful and helps a lot for us, specially to the ministry and teaching work of God, when going through this subject. May God give you peace, teachers and servants of God, and see you again in August next year, 2024.”

Pastor 3

“Thank God, I have the privilege of studying God’s Word through the Book of Proverbs. I received many lessons for my spirituality even though the learning time is very short. The Professor helped me learn the method for preparing sermons through the Book of Proverbs. I am very excited to prepare lectures for young people on how to live wisely. Thank you Professor.”


From Pastors who Attended 2024 ShepCon:

Southeast Asia Pastor

Dear Hal and All,

 It was a joyous and blessed time for me to join the Shepherds Conference. It has been a time of enriching, encouraging, and fellowshipping with many like-minded brothers in the Lord and the ministry for me. It is beyond words I can express but only thanks to you all who have shown how is the true love of Christ. You have opened your houses to host us and stretched your arm with a warm fellowship that makes us like to be at home. I can say that without your help, we cannot join the Shepherds Conference this year.

Many lessons impact my life as a minister of the Lord that I want to share. 

  1. In times like this, we are to stand for the truth. I have seen the boldness of the speakers for the Gospel of Christ. It was a time for me to be challenged to stand for the truth

  2. It enriched and sharpened me to preach expository sermons. 

  3. It was a time when we could have fellowship with one another in the ministry.

Thank Brother Hal who has managed and organized all these … Thank brothers and sisters, who have unfailing love and support the Encouragement Ministry through the years. It Is truly a ministry of Encouragement Intl. Inc (EII). May the Lord bless you all and your family and your work/ business with manyfold blessings. Thanks and hope to see you shortly.

MARCAL in Moldova

For me this conference is encouraging. When I see so many men serving God that gives me power and energy. Sometimes I feel like I am alone on my battlefiends, but now I see and know that God has an army that serves him. Also I found new friends in Christ. We share experiences from our countries and pray for each other. Thank you that you helped me to come here. It is a big spiritual blessing. John MacArthur was the leader I always listened to and wanted to see. Yesterday I also saw John Piper and others in real life. The messages that are focused on sola scriptura are what I always respected. Thank you so much for making it possible for me to be here, and God bless you for what you do.
