Getting the Job Done

Many ministries talk a great line about what they claim to be doing or what they have planned for the future. Not unlike those in the business world, we have big dreams and hope for future success. Sometimes what is accomplished is somewhat less than what we dream, but we keep putting on a good face and pressing forward. That is laudable, and I try to encourage those who are pressing on to their destiny.

While some ministries don't measure up to their advertising, I want to introduce you to one that exceeds what you would expect from reading their materials. Robert Dunphy is a man who walks in a genuine New Testament anointing. His outreach, Robert Dunphy Ministries, Inc. (http://www.bobdunphy.org/ or http://www.robertdunphyministries.org/) is an internationally impacting ministry.

I have had the pleasure of seeing first hand what the ministry is doing in Burkina Faso, West Africa, been present in services where Br. Dunphy has ministered in the US, and seen the changes in people who have benefited from Br. Bob's submission to the Father's leading.

Reports from Africa include four people raised from the dead, yes, certified to have been dead and raised to life when either Bob or one of his staff have prayed for them. Also reported are hundreds of people receiving deliverance from demon possession. These people were literally chained to trees to control their destructive and extreme behavior. Some delivered with just a word, others with great struggle, but all who have been brought have been set free as either Bob or one of those he has trained have come to the aid of those in need. Add to this the hundreds who have been healed of various diseases or injuries and the thousands who have received Christ as their Lord and Savior and you have a wonderful story that reads much like the Book of Acts.

Back in the states people are experiencing the same impact on their lives in the reports are being shared. One woman who had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, an incurable form of lung cancer, was certified to have been completely headed when Br. Bob laid his hands on her. This is typical of the services that happen here in the States. Blind eyes opened, cancer gone, blood disorders disappear, AIDS completely healed, and more. This is a ministry that restores hope in the preaching of the power of God on behalf of men.

Now, as if that is not enough, there is another side of this ministry that you need to know about. RDM also is the overseeing body for Child's Hope, an outreach which supplies the needs of thousands of orphans across Burkina. In addition, they are building orphanages, schools, and clinics to meet the needs of a nation marked by poverty and death. They support more than 1,200 widows and 300 pastors and are building a strong Christian community in an Islamic nation.

If you would like to be a partner with a ministry that has such great success and impact, you can get more information by contacting their offices.
