Cath'rine Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hello Pastor Ralph! First, thank you for you ministry! I've been greatly blessed by it. I am a wife of 17 yrs, a mother of 3 lovely daughters, work full time for the airline industry, a member of our church choir, and last but certainly not least - I am a child of God. I desire a better knowledge of the book of Revelations even though I've heard talks about it, and I've read through it several times - it never ceases to amaze me how much I missed the time before. Don't want to ramble too much - so I will end my intro here. May our time together be blessed, Cath'rine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungary Tom Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 My name is Tom and I live in Budapest, Hungary. I just moved here this summer from Orlando, Florida and I'm working with a missions organization to find ways to use the Internet in ministry here in Eastern Europe. I'm looking forward to this study to deepen my walk with the Lord and also to learn about how the Internet can be used to do ministry.

Richardscholtz Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi there, I am a divorced father in Seattle. Attend a Messianic Jewish congregation on Sabbath, and have 3 years ago dicovered the joy and promise of the Scriptures. I appreciate the ability to study with others in the privacy of home and pray that God bless us as Pastor Ralph teaches. Warmest Regards...

Vickie Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi! My name is Vickie, I live in New Mexico (yes, that is in the United States!) with my wonderful husband and 4 kids (15, 9, 7 and soon to be 3). We are active in our small Southern Baptist church. I participated in the Gideon study in the spring, but had to drop out at the end because of time constraints (we have an internet business, kids/school, I do the church newsletter and church website, and I am in charge of one of our women's ministries...making sleeping bags for the homeless...not much free time! Think I need to cut back somewhere...maybe sell the children LOL! ) I am looking forward to this study. I read Revelation when I was a Christian newbie, and it was difficult at best! It is hard to understand it all when we know that God's Word is infallible and inerrant, but Revelation is so full of hyperbole and imagery that it is hard to know what it is saying to us!

Marji Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hello, My name is Marjorie McKeon from Southwest Michigan. I am looking forward to this study -- in order to learn and understand more about Revelation as well as sharing thoughts and ideas and getting to know each of you. I believe that understanding God's word, and God's world is enhanced when we listen to and share our thoughts with others. Marji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi, My name is Suzie. I live in Arkansas. I have been a mammogram technologist for 8 years. I have been a x-ray technologist for 13 years. I have been married for 10 years. I have two children, 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter. My family and I had stopped going to church for about 6 months from July 2002-December 2002. My mom had been after me to get back in. So the first Sunday in the year 2003, we started back and my husband and I have both rededicated our lives to God and we now go to church just about ever time the doors are open. I am real excited about the Revalations study. I have read some of the bible and never really understood it. I hope to gain insight and knowledge through this study.

Juls Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi! My name's Julie. I live in Oregon with my husband of 10 years, 2 dogs, 5 cats, and a multitude of wild birds we feed to keep the cats entertained (and occasionally irritated - the bluejays seem to like attacking screens and startling the cats into falling out of the windows). I am looking forward to gaining a better understanding of Revelation and hearing other views of this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integritas Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hello All I am ...... Sort of gets you thinking doesn't it? 50 Divorced now 13 years 2 lovely daughters A spiritual person who for a long time would not call myself religious. I am here because I am very impressed with Pastor Ralph He expresses many qualities that I aspire to. I discovered this course whilst doing a search on the parable of the talents. Pastor Ralph's approach to that lesson was so structured and enlightening that I felt drawn to join in the next lesson - being this one. I am not sure that the book of Revelation is the right focus for me right now. We will see. I wish you all the very best and hope that you gain direction and strength from your studies. Love and best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Smith Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I'm from the East Coast of USA, and have lived in Spain for a year. This is my second study with Pastor Ralph, and I'm doing it because I got a lot out of the Gideon study. I'm not sure about studying Revelation right now, either, but I figure God may have some surprises for all of us! I've avoided it for its obtuseness, but I'm excited about what we will uncover in Revelation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priscilla Ahin Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Shalom! My name is Priscilla Ahin, from Singapore. I am a Catholic and also a Canossian Daughter of Charity. I am a Straits-born Chinese, adopted into a Eurasian family, from whom I received my faith. We were just regular Sunday Catholics, and when I joined the Convent, I found it difficult to relate my life with the Word of God, though I am very familiar with the stories in the Bible, which I enjoy tremendously. So here I am, to discover more through this course. God bless! Priscilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastorann Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hi to everyone. My name is Ann I am really looking forward to digging into Revelation and sharing some new insights with my congregation. I am a 49 y.o. female pastor of a small Baptist church in a rural area of Canada, have 2 grown up kids (one married) and very recently became a first time grandma. My loves in life are prayer and studying Scripture and worship. The future is a concern of Christian and non-Christian alike. The Christian - because we are to be alert and informed about God's outworking of his plan for humanity, the non-Christian because without Christ - there is only fear and uncertainty. I want to be one who studies to be able to give a good answer to both these groups of people. So I want to thank you all ahead of time for the way we will all be iron sharpening iron. God Bless you as you immerse yourselves in His wonderful Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Cross Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Hi I'm Richard from Sydney, Australia. I am starting this study at a very hectic time in my life as I am getting married in November. It's easy to put off bible study when you're busy so I'm excited to be part of this group as it will help me to remain faithful. I have been apprehensive to read Revelation because it is hard to understand and there seem to be differing views. However the message of salvation is throughout the bible so I look forward to wrestling with the passages and discovering God's word to us together.

God is calling my husband and myself into ministry training. This was a great way for me to learn in a deeper way about the book of Revelations.
