Comments from Ken's past ministry (24 years ago in Atlanta)

:Dear Mr. Needham,

I was recently leading my men's small group Bible study through Colossians 1 when I remembered a week of meetings where I heard you preach from the same text. I dug through my old tapes and found the sermons, dated April 1983. I would have been a young teenager at the time, but I remembered the sermons as the best I had ever heard on the text. I shared some of the tapes and wove pieces of them through my lesson.

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that 24 years later a sermon preached one evening in Atlanta was still being used, was bearing fruit, and was a blessing to other Christians. Unfortunately, the cassette tapes are falling apart and I need to try to get them transferred to a digital media so that they will continue to be a blessing going forward. I was happy to find you on the web and to see that you are still preaching the Word of God. Thank you for your ministry.
 
Comments from recent ministry in Alabama
Ken was at our church and in my home for a small group meeting – absolutely wonderful and so challenging! What a blessing he was to us and how great to see how God has gifted him and how he is using those gifts! Loved the story about the girl on the plane with red & green hair as he was teaching on the effect and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

 
Comments from Ken's past ministry at Crusaders Camp:
"How the years pass. I was reading Hebrews this morning and your teaching from Nefyn camp years ago came back to me so I thought I'd look you up. I still remember a lot of what you said - you did Hosea at the same camp!

Thanks so much for your teaching and friendship all those years ago - I am constantly thankful for the richness of the spiritual upbringing I had at Crusaders."
 
Comments from a pastor in Washington State:
Thank you so much for coming to Lake Tapps. I am always blessed by your ministry. Thank you for so clearly and powerfully declaring the Word. It was wonderful.
 
Comments from a principal at a large Christian High School:
"Thank you again for a wonderfully challenging week of chapels at Westminster. The Lord has gifted you in marvelous ways and we are so thankful to Him that you are so willing and eager to share those gifts in the preaching of the good news. I particularly love your approach to all of life - seeing the hand and providence of God in creation and in all things. What a blessing it was to hear about the honey bees, the edelweiss, and all the other wonderful stories that point us to the truth of God's Word. I know that the Spirit was at work among our students and faculty, and that great good will come as the result of your time with us."
 
Comments from parents of a Senior High School Student  in one of Ken's recent classes:
"She was so inspired by Ken's presentation to their class she spent quite a bit of time discussing it. . . She says he is her favorite speaker EVER! We both love that he is a man about the world who prays fervently and reads Gods word daily. It is definitely someone to respect and listen to because of his own walk with God and the wisdom and insight he can share.
 
Comment from a man in Denmark:
"I have heard these Bible stories since infancy, but they never spoke to me before.  I did not realise how powerful and relevant they are."
 
Comment from a secretary of a UCC church in Kailua, Hawaii:
Just a note: Went to Grace Christian Community Church (where Warren
ministers) for their first year anniversary -- was so elated when they shared how much they appreciated your sharing with them when you were last here. Seemed like you were seen as a highlight and a blessing.... Well that is the same way we feel about you too!
 
Comments from a Baptist Pastor:
God had not spoken directly to me for two years.  In each one of your seven messages this week, I "heard" His voice, and my soul is revived.  I have new belief and confidence to face the burdens of the ministry.
 
Also from a Baptist Pastor:
"I have known you and listened to you for thirty years, and your message is fresher and more relevant than ever."
 
A Grace Brethren Pastor writes::
"My people have been refreshed, challenged, revitalised."
 
A Mother of teenagers in California comments::
"Countless facets, gem after gem. . .from the quarry of God's word of wonders. . .riches presented by you almost playfully until marvelous and profound truth emerges, enlightening and revealing what a heart and mind needs most. . .longing to know and glorify the Father more wholly. . ."
 
From the Director of Teen Challenge, Canada
"Thank you so much for coming. . .please let us know when you can again, hopefully for much longer."
 
This letter was  received from a youth pastor in Poland.  We had the pleasure of working with him on our recent trip.

Dear Ken,

It was so good to see you again and to spend some time with you. Thanks for
everything.  I could hear and learn from you. Hopefully you will visit Poland again!

Yesterday six people from the youth group got baptized. It was a great day!
As I saw them I felt that God is blessing youth ministry.  This summer we will have youth camp. More and more people sign up. We pray
that it would be life changing experience for youth.

Please share my greetings with Eva

Greg

Some other recent comments:

From South Carolina:
I know Ken from being a student at Bodenseehof Bible School
in Germany back in 1973-74. (Can I really be that old?) He was a guest
lecturer for several weeks and was a great encouragement to all the students

A Vicar in an Anglican church in England comments:
"I felt your talks were accessible and challenging. They were relevant and
very easy to listen to. "

From a Church leader, England:
"Everyone I have spoken to has appreciated your ministry, and judging by
the interest in tapes, your words are receiving and ever wider audience."

A Senior missionary, Overseas Missionary Fellowship writes:
"Let me say again, what a joy and inspiration it was to sit under your clear exposition of Scripture...your dedicated ministry bears all the hallmarks of an authentic work engraved by the Holy Spirit. " 

From a retired Baptist. missionary, Belfast
"What a delight...to bathe in the refreshing and challenging ministry you brought to us all during the Holy Week services. It was a breath of God to our souls."
 

We'd like to share a letter received from the pastor of a church where we recently had opportunity to minister.  

"Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I have asked brother Ken, if we could write some short letter to
His friends, to express our thankfulness to those, who allowed
him and Sister Eva to come to Poland
. That is what I am doing writing to you this few words with my limited English.  We are very thankful to those, who participated in making it possible for Eva and Ken Needham to come to Poland.

We are a young Baptist church, that was started 5 years ago
with 18 people and has now 85 members.
(If anyone would like to read more about our church, you can
look at our web page:  www.baptisten.org/pl/poznan_2 )
We are a charismatic Baptist church in Poznan, Poland.
The ministry of brother Ken is very special blessing since we
have met him in 1988.  It was amazing experience to meet brother, who is open for the Holy Spirit and in the same time rooted in the Word of God so
strongly.  Poland is 99% catholic, with 0,02% of evangelical believers. In
our church we have only 2 members, who come from evangelical families. All of the rest heard the Gospel in past few years. There is so great need for them to see good example of Christianity, that is open for the work of the Holy Spirit and in the same time based on the Word of God. In Poland, you find many
times churches that are either against gifts of the Holy Spirit or
based just on experience of emotions.  As pastor, I see this challenge for myself, to stay close to the Lord and allow Him to lead the church through my ministry in balanced direction.  We are very thankful to the Lord for this chance to receive such good example in our churches from Eva and Ken.
We don't need to tell you how wonderful is to experience the reality of Gods word, when brother Ken shares with us. But we want to say, that we are thankful for their shepherd hearts, for their love and openness to the children of God in Poznan.  Please know, that your decision to help Eva and Ken to come to Poland was a special gift to our churches.  Your love has given me great joy an encouragement, because you , brother, have refreshed the hearts of the
saints... Philemon 1,7  We would dream for them to come again to serve us!
May the Lord bless you with His peace and joy, leading you in
fulfilling your ministry in this lost world...
yours in Jesus,

Comments from an eleven year old girl:

"Hi Mr. Needham!   I'm Kelsi.  I really enjoyed the sermon that you did at chapel  on last Wednesday.  You made Bible really exciting that day.  I liked all the stories you put in to help us understand John 3:16.  I hope you can come back to chapel soon!"

Comments from a Pastor in Washington State:

."It was a great blessing to have you at Lake Tapps. Thank you so much for your ministry of the Word. I was drinking it in! Others have told me they were too."

Comments from Colorado:

"I was so glad I was able to hear Ken Needham speak every day a
couple of weeks ago.  I spent a lot of time meditating on what he said.  I
really experienced Hebrews 4:12 when it talks about the word of God being sharper than any two-edged sword and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Through Ken's handling of the word of God I was EXPOSED. I felt like I'd had surgery"

"Thank you for the messages you gave at O.M.F. in Littleton, CO last
week. My husband and I were blessed by your fresh insights into
Scripture"

"I spent a lot of time in prayer that week -- I was convicted of the idols
in my life..."


"Thanks for inviting me to hear Ken -- he was such a blessing to me."

"Hearing your teacher speak was a real treat."

"I didn't want him to stop speaking."

"What an excellent man he is. He was a gift to us."
