“A friend of mine gave me some of your CD’s to listen to. I was overwhelmed at the clarity and beauty of the way you present the gospel… I have been sharing your CD’s with everyone that I can!” – Bruce, CA
“I have been experiencing an incredible answer to prayer in my walk with God, especially in the last 5 weeks. In the last two years, at least, I have been saddened by the sermons I hear. There doesn’t seem to be a knowledge of God. The result is a weak message and a weak church. Take Ye Away the Stone gripped me!… I heard of a Savior and a choice of freedom. How beautiful that story expresses our experience. I never thought of that!… Jesus tested Mary’s faith for freedom and love. And He fulfilled beautifully… I have had the urgency to be ready for Christ and that sermon made me want to press more! “ R. E. , CA
“Dear Pastor Mayer, Thanks for the CD’s you have been sending to me. They are a great source of inspiration. The current events that you have been unfolding are of vital importance and warning to every Seventh-day Adventist! May God richly bless and continue to use your ministry for His glory.” John, Ghana
“Dear Pastor Mayer, [I] appreciate your monthly messages. Keep them coming! Your delivery is great, clear, and to the point. These spectacular news reports we could obtain no other way. We can surely see how prophecy is being fulfilled daily! “ Elizabeth, CA
“Dear Pastor Hal and Family and everyone that helps you! I want to thank you all for such wonderful information every month. Your CD’s keep me/ us more up to date than even our own pastors… I so wish they were passing on the information to the churches that you do, it would inspire and build fires under many church pews!! I especially appreciate the news on the pope/ and the workings therein… keeping us updated… lets us know hos soon we will see Jesus’s face!! I have passed the information on to a few of my relatives who also now receive your sermons and they are such a blessing to us all! The small occasional donations I make are nothing compared to what you all are doing for the Lord!” Joy, MA
“Dear Pastor Hal and Staff, First of all may take this opportunity to thanks for your continues support in our daily walk with God. God will always grand you GOOD HEALTH and give you Good and Durable RICHES so you can continue to give the World’s Last Chance Warning Messages. How are Elder Nelson and his family? Please extend my regards to them. We hope to be listening to his messages from time to time. Keep the Faith Ministry has never fail me in a single month since I started receiving tapes (since last quarter of 1998) and my prayer always is God should bless Keep the Faith Ministry with means and other resources in abundance so that this Powerful, Dedicated, and Faithful Ministry can continue the Work of the Lord till Jesus comes so that those of us who desire to support the Ministry but do not have the means to do so would continue to receive your TIMELY WARNING MESSAGES.” Gershon, Ghana
“Thank you very much for the perseverance in preaching the Three Angels message. Your sermons sent to us meant a lot. You inform us the events that are happening specially in the United States and the coming religious crisis. Your message reached us eventhough we’re in remote area…” EDMAR, Bukidnon, Philippines
“I just wanted to let you know that I was truly, truly blessed by the last Keep the Faith CD about the woman at the well. God really spoke to my heart and I was truly drawn to Christ and His agape love. Please keep it up! God bless you and continue to guide you all in His work. I am impressed to give a donation to help spread this type of message to as many people as possible. God bless you! Sincerely,” Lisa, by e-mail
“This person is non-SDA. I happen to load my gas tank one day while your sermon was playing and he overheard it and got interested. So I gave it to him and each time I see him, he would ask me for more new sermons, so I decided to enroll him in your list so he could receive them personally.” Lea, NJ
“The sermons you gave yesterday on religious liberty issues were right on time! I learned a great deal and plan to delve into greater study on some of those historical facts and verses you shared. The material you distributed will be most helpful, and I look forward to sharing it with several friends who were unable to attend. There is a definite need amongst our church family to reflect on various points you brought out. Your sermon was a personal reminder to me that the hour God has allowed me to live in is full of great opportunities and great responsibilities. The sermon was spiritually uplifting and informative. Thank you again for taking the time to speak at our church.” Kshama, CA
“I am sorry that for a longer time I did not mention how much I look forward to your truthfilled messages. They are a great encouragement in my walk with Christ. Thank you for helping us to prepare for the coming crisis. Joseph is such a wonderful example, truly, since you gave the messages concerning him, they stay in my mind and often I think about them, desiring to imprint them upon my heart so that, in time of need, I would be able to follow his example. Thank you for encouraging us! May the Lord richly bless your ministry, and my prayers go out to you daily. I deeply appreciate your sermons, they do exactly what you named this ministry: “Keep the faith.” Ursula, Canada
“Thank you so much for your CD message, “The Divine Connection”. A few days before I picked it up in the mail, I had been scanning a book that had been given us and was troubled with the explanation on what nature Christ came to earth with. It left out many SOP quotes and explained away a specific Bible text and yet used Bible and SOP in order to support the conclusion that Christ came with unfallen human nature. I knelt down in private and asked God to lead me into truth, whatever nature it was Christ had I wanted to know and have it all make sense. Then the CD arrived or was probably already waiting for me at the post office. I was impressed with God’s love for me that “before they call I will answer and while they are yet speaking I will hear.” Pastor Nelson’s presentation is making sense, harmonizing all the “seemingly” contradictory verses and statements. I am looking forward to part 2. Please pass on to him my little story so that he can know that the message he prepared shortly after his dear wife fell asleep has and is working for my salvation.” Rachel, Canada
“Christian Greetings to you. I received a CD of your sermons every month. I thank God for the truth that you have revealed to us. I want to thank you for your boldness in carrying out the will of our Father. Thanks for the CDs and may God bless you and your work.” Arlette, NY
“Thank you for the October & November sermons, and the Sanctuary Made Simple & Antichrist book you sent me. They have increased my understanding of spiritual & prophetic matters. Others have inquired about the CD and I’ve given them the postcards – one in particular, a Muslim friend. I regret not being able to send a donation sooner. I just endured a season of unemployment and money was scarce. But the Word and these great CD lectures & books & the Spirit of Prophecy eased the pain. Here is a donation. Please keep those CD lectures coming!” Yowchanan, FL“Your monthly sermon on CD really is a breath of truth to an Adventist in need because our local church is so— (without.)” Mary Lee, GA
“Thank you for the 2 CDs included Joseph Troublesome Coat No. 4. I really enjoy these character CD’s as a delightful rest from the evil which is overtaking the world.” Audrey, Australia
“I thank you for sending us books entitled Maranatha, “The Lord is Coming.” I distributed these books to Bishops, Reverends and Pastors. I really thank you for these wonderful books. Here we can’t afford to have such wonderful books. As the Bible says in Matthew 28:19, “Go ye to all nations…” I thank God for your ministry, for you are doing what our Christ Jesus is commanding us to do the will of God. Please continue doing what is right to the children of God.” Lusaka, Zambia
“Thank you so much for your powerful and true messages. They seem to speak right to my heart and go very deep. It is a great inspiration. I pray daily for your ministry. We truly must be the last generation. Much is happening even in our lives. I cling to Jesus. He is my Saviour. The upward way is made difficult by the opposing powers of darkness but with Christ, we can do all things. He strengthens us. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.” Ursula, BC, Canada
“Thank you for these timely and informative CD’s I’m receiving. God’s people are very much asleep here in Wadena. They don’t like to hear about what is coming to pass. We have so many ‘ho hum’ pastors, the churches seem to be dying, or have already died. God bless you as you bring these much needed sermons.” Irma, MN
“We are indeed living in exciting times of this world’s history when every true member of God’s church should be coming closer to Jesus. I do enjoy your CDs very much because they bring me much closer to Jesus in these last days. The time will come very sudden and unexpected for the church but I pray God that we will be ready for that great day as Jesus said we must watch and pray and be ready.” Edna, Great Britain
“Dear Friends, I want to thank you for your monthly sermons. They are so spiritual and informative.” Theresa, MT
Totally Transformed
It is indeed that my family and I are totally transformed through the teaching values from the book [Maranatha] itself since I started reading it.
May God add you more life so that you continue supporting us spiritually.
Also, my prayer goes to the Author of this book – Ellen G. White. She has done a wonderful job by teaching us through her talent, which God gave her.
This book has actually supplemented the Audiotape, which we use to receive.
RK, Kenya

Our church in _____, MI is Seventh-day Adventist. We never get any sermons on Present Truth. We get the New Theology. Ron ___ gave me some tapes to listen to and I read an article in the last Hartland news by you. Thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ for the “watchman on the walls.” Sincerely, in Christ, AD, Michigan
If it wasn’t for Elder Nelson’s messages, my faith would have been lost. The way the Holy Spirit moves you to put together such powerful, undeniable facts, by Bible precept and Spirit of Prophecy, is totally captivating… Keep the Faith tapes have educated me beyond normal conversation. Once again thank you, RW, CA
“I am so thankful that you can send us sermon tape so that we can give information to our Church members. I subscribe KTF Ministry since Pr. Nelson time. Love to hear the message and share it with friends.
“My union secretary told me your friend are so critical, [but] this is the message we need keep on preaching pastor. Thank you, for now I am getting your sermon through KTF net and it saves my time to listen to the cassette and write it down.
“I [also] translated “Sanctuary Make Simple’ into Karen [language]. Will print out soon. Hope Pr. Nelson won’t mind. Now I am teaching [the] sanctuary in my Medical Missionary Training school.
“I would like you to pray for my ministry. I am a Karen that living in Thailand. I am working with Karen refugees that coming across from Burma, and [for some] still living inside Burma, providing Christian education for them as well as teaching them to come back to health reform. This message is what we should preach long time ago. Now God is calling me to do this and I promise God I will do it no matter what will happen to me. Please pray for me… Pharmor, Thailand
“I got your address from a friend of mine. Firstly he gave me a book to read entitled “The Antichrist.” After reading I saw a change in my Christian character. Some of my friends who are attending the Roman Catholic Church after studying the book, they discovered the truth and decide to give their life to Christ Jesus the Lord. They now join me in my church. “Praise the Lord.” P. S. I wonder if [I should] join the church that attend church on Saturday or to attend the Sunday one. Please help me! Michael, Ghana
“I’m a prisoner serving a life sentence in one of California state prisons. I’m writing you concerning this book called “The Antichrist.” A brother here was kind enough to give me his book and when I read it, it blew my mind. Not only was my mind blown but another brother as well. It is so easy and fun to read. Not only that it taught me things I never knew. I have personally seen this book change a heathen into a believer. And a keep of God’s holy commandments. (Including the Sabbath). This book is well put, easy to understand and eye opening. Now, what Jesus said is clear. “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Indeed I am free even though I am in prison. I thank you for the wonderful wisdom to write this book… If it is possible can you send me few copys of this book so that I may pass it around? And if you have any other books you have written I would love to read them as well. I would also be interested in studys if you have them. Anything to help me and my brothers grow would be great.” JB, CA
“I have been receiving Keep the Faith monthly tapes for several years (5 or more yrs), and I wanted to share this wonderful gospel and end time messages with my family. God impressed me to place the name and address of family members and friends on the cards that come with the tapes. As a result, one of my sisters (Cynthia), who lives in Harrisburg, PA became convicted about whether or not she should worship on the Sabbath. Both she and her husband (Willie) were first day (Sunday) ministers, and the had a congregation of 30 members. They spoke with Pastor Lawrence Nelson on several occasions and was convinced that Sabbath worship was not done away with and along with their congregation presently worship on the Sabbath (To God be the Glory). Presently my sister and brother-in-law are studying with my cousin, who lives in Delaware, and who is a Sunday minister, about the importance of obeying all of God’s commandments which includes the Sabbath. Please pray. My cousin along with his large congregation which includes many more family members will hear God’s voice and obey.
“My sister and brother-in-law also attended a health retreat at Cohutta springs with myself and my husband and has eliminated many harmful foods from their diet. They want to become vegetarians and share this with family and friends as well. Priscilla, Chattanooga, TN
“Dear Sir, I’m a truck driver. I find The Sanctuary made simple and The Antichrist books lying here and there in truck stops, and many places all over the country. Where ever I go, I also find that people have become Seventh—day Adventists from reading it! Some pastors can’t believe it. They say they’ve heard this or that. But they’ve never even read it. I told them, “You’ve received misinformation. Read it for yourself. Thousands are becoming SDAs because of it.” I visited one church recently and discovered that 15 young people had become faithful Seventh day Adventists because of reading The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist Telugu books. They are on fire and are not just warming pews. I thought that you would like to know these things. may the Lord continue to bless you in reaching many souls.” Acharj G., India
“Dear Pastor, Thank you for the Keep the Faith audio cassette tapes that you have been sending me. It has been a blessing to me and I periodically play it for our youth in the church to listen and I’m sure it’s been a wonderful guidance to one and all… I have a burden to share the good news of the Lord’s coming to others and therefore I have printed some literature for free distribution for one and all. By God’s grace, these have gone… to most areas of India where Adventists are present. I don’t have so much money that I could print in large numbers. Therefore, I and my wife are heading to the UK by God’s grace and God willing by Jan. 2005. I have a special prayer request for you. I haven’t talked to my wife yet. But I plan to use 90% of my income towards the Lord’s work through the literature ministry. I request for special prayers on my behalf so that the Lord will prepare me and my wife for this cause, and to be able to give 90% of my income for His cause. I’m grateful for your work which gave me lots of inspiration and information as well as tools to be able to pass on this eternal message to others.” India
“Dear Elder Nelson, I’m writing to let you know how much I have enjoyed your tapes. I am only a fairly new Seventh-day Adventist and have found your tapes very much to the point and they have given me a lot of encouragement as I have listened to them. I also managed to get a copy of your book “The Sanctuary Made Simple” and found that a great help also. It gave me a very clear understanding…” New Zealand
“Dear Lawrence M Nelson, I just finished reading your book’s the Sanctuary made simple and The Antichrist. Thank you for opening my eyes to the facts that were hidden from me by my “Church.” My wife and I are Roman Catholic. I received a catechism as a graduation gift, bit didn’t read it until I finished reading your book’s. What a shock! I was shocked at the material in the catechism that did not align with scripture!! For years I bought into the lies about Sunday, Christmas, Easter, and “All Saints Eve” (Halloween). After I finished your book I had the blinders taken off my eyes! I am now accountable to the Almighty! Are you a Seventh-day Adventist?” Daniel, India
“Dear Pastor and Mrs. Nelson, You are in my prayers… Thank you for your sermon tapes in the past years and for the new sermons by Pastor Hal Mayer especially the recent Aug. 1, 04 tape “America’s Power Unleashed,” It helped me redirect my priorities and remind me, yes, Jesus is coming again soon. I’m enclosing my check for $50.00 as a Donation to your ministry and to repay you for the past 12-15 months of your monthly sermon tapes.” California
“Dear Pastor Mayer, I am going to wrote elder Nelson and tell him how much his ministry has helped me since I became and Adventist 21 years ago. It was hard (extremely) to accept the fact that he retired. I know the time does come for all of us. But I want to tell you how thrilled I was when I listened to your tape “America’s Power Unleashed.” It is wonderful. I know God has chosen you for the events of these last days and to pick up the torch where elder Nelson has left off. You have been handed the blazing light for our time.” Thank you! Oklahoma
“Dear brethren, Silver and Gold have I none to reward you for all these monthly cassettes and E. G. White’s books that are sent to me from time to time. But my earnest prayer is that God in His infinite mercies will bless all of you and grant me the wisdom for spiritual upliftment to work towards attainment of a goal in my spiritual race and enable me see and meet all of you face to face at God’s fee in Heaven Amen…” Nigeria
“Dear Sir, Your books The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist is incredibly revealing, fascinating, a God—blessed eye-opener. I can’t find words to describe it! I am — or should I say “was”— a Roman Catholic. So I can’t be but extremely shocked at the revelation of your books. I thank God on my knees that it came into my hands. And not only that, I thank God that He chose me for this revealing moment when I learned these wonderful things. I want to share a knowledge of this truth with my family, that they too may have the seal of God stamped in their foreheads. Thank you again, and may our blessed Lord and Savior bless you always.” Vankateswar, India
“Dear Pastor and Staff, I enjoy my tapes each month and I thank the Lord you are still preaching the three angels message. I do not hear the three angels message anymore in our church. May the Lord continue to bless you and your staff.” South Carolina
“Dear Pastor, Greeting in Jesus most precious and kind holy name. With thanksgiving and praise to Him for all of His many, many blessings. He has ad still is bestowing upon us all. We want you to know that you are one among all of our real blessings from the Lord by still presenting the truth in it pureness as it is in Jesus. We both, my husband and I shall always be grateful for your faithfulness, also kindness for keeping us informed what is still taking place in our SDA faith or shall I say (Denomination). May God continue His blessing upon you and family also all of your staff. Those that have part in your service as you allow the Lord to use you to serve other in His vineyard. Thinking of you in advance, Yours in Christ.” South Carolina
“Dear Lawrence M Nelson, Your books The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist stirred me so! The timing in which the book arrived was an answer to prayer in which I asked God for wisdom to understand spiritual things. People in my neighborhood were puzzled to know how you got all of our addresses to send the books to us. How can we recognize God’s people in these end times, and where do we go to worship Him on His holy Sabbath? I want to mend my ways with God. I know that the end times are upon us. May God bless you in your endeavor to reach and warn His people….” Mary (Nethal Veramma), India
“Dear Brother, I have received the book you sent entitled: “Maranatha” and I thank you heartily for it. I seize the opportunity to also thank you for all the tapes I have been receiving up to now: We, Mauritians who are listening to them, are growing spiritually strong… May God bestow upon you strength and courage and a long life so as to continue His work…” Mauritius
“Pastor Hal Mayer, Thank you for the wonderful message One Sentence of Scripture is of more value than 10 thousand men’s ideas and arguments. I have it displayed all over so I don’t forget. Thank you again. Unknown location
“Greeting; I am a Pastor. Some time ago I got your books The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist but left it on my shelf for quit a while. Just recently, the Lord directed me to get the books off the shelf and read it. I am repenting for leaving those books on my shelf. I am in 100% agreement with what The Sanctuary made simple and The Antichrist is saying. Now I want to get more of them to get more of them to the hands of others. God bless you for making this books available. I will be asking people to read this book word for word as though their life depended on it. In many ways it does for many years I went along with the verse that says to be in subjection to the higher powers. That is true, but I didn’t think about how important the law of God is, and that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord our God Thank you. Thank you very much.” John, India
“Thank you very much for it (Maranatha). I must confess, I did not pay for it. But I definitely was searching for a copy of it, and was asking many people if they had one so that I could photocopy it. Now I definitely will be reading this year after year along with my Bible.” India
Dear Pastor Nelson and Wife, When I found out you will soon have to stop making the monthly tapes, my eyes were swelled with tears. I know if it could be your way with better health for you and your wife. But the tapes I do have from you are so filled with inspiring counsel and the love in your voice you have for the Lord just makes me draw all my heart closer to our lovely lord Jesus. I thank you and thank you…. Colorado
“We look forward to receiving our monthly tapes. Thank you. We pray for you all, that are stepping out to preach the 3 angels message to this doomed world. May Jesus be very close to you.” Australia
“Dear Elder Lawrence. Several weeks ago I felt led to go to a certain natural foods store in a town near me. While there my husband picked up two small books from the information counter. It was the books The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist . When I discovered it later at home I sat down to read it and did not stop until I had finished reading it all. Everything seemed as clear as day to me. “Of course!” was my response. It seemed that years of study had led me just to the edge of this truth. (This book brought me over the line.) The history and documentation are such a blessing to me. I immediately resolved to keep God’s Sabbath day holy. It Was a joy. But I wondered how my Roman Catholic husband would respond. He is a logic and philosophy professor. He read The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist carefully and agreed with me that with knowledge comes responsibility. So he left his lifetime church immediately. He left the Roman Catholic church to keep all of the commandments of God. (Praise the Lord!) We want to return the inexpressibly great favor that someone gave us by leaving those free books for us to find. Enclosed is my order for more of them for others. Thank you. Thank you, and may the Lord richly reward your work.” Jakkala Marx, India
“Brother Nelson, you had told me to share this tape with someone not of my faith, ‘The Priest, His Confessional and the Church.’ So I went by a lady and her daughter and I played the tape. They were very happy and listened and watched how I displayed the whole packet and she picked them up one by one and looked at it and they promised me to tell others about it. Her daughter said when she goes back to Jamaica, she will tell others around… She likes to read her Bible. She told me she will never ever take the mark of the beast. She goes to church on Sunday. Brother Nelson, I share some of my tapes with Seventh-day Adventist pastors and I told them… they must stand strong. I also send some tapes to Guyana to Elder…” Canada
“Dear Sir, Some time ago I sat along side a road Begging. It was Saturday. A man drove in and just gave me the books called The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist and drove away. I never saw him again. Your books laid around in my room for a while. Then something happened which made me read it. I read it 5 or 6 times. It changed my life . I grew up a Baptist, but there was always something missing deep down inside. I had no rest. After reading your book I searched for a church. I found a small, little church. Now I am a Seventh-day Adventist. I left everything, a large Sunday school, social events, every thing. But I learned about God’s Sabbath, (and His love) and I found peace of mind. Thanks for your books Don’t get tired of doing what’s right. “Snake Charmer,” India
“Thank you for sending your monthly cassette tapes regularly. Really, the messages of the cassette tapes helpful to me to be ready for Jesus’ glorious coming. It is helping in my personal ministry also. Thank you for the book “Maranatha” which you have sent. I got it a few days ago. Reading this I have known many new things which are going to be happen in the last days. It is the book of courage to every God’s people. India
“Dear Pastor and Mrs. Nelson, “Thank you so much for your sermons through the years, very informative of the gospel. We have enjoyed and shared. We have now enjoyed pastor Mayer too. You chose the right man to pick up. There comes a time when the ‘gospel torch’ must be passed on and we are in that age group too… We have a new pastor, but are holding truth yet! as I teach the 1 adult class, with the Lord’s help. I use the KJV and the new pastor uses the NIV. We’ve had some discussions. Getting him Elder Burnside’s book. Hope it helps. Thank you again.” Illinois
“Dear Elder Nelson, I want to write and tell you that I was a Roman Catholic, but it was the book “ The Sanctuary made simple and The Antichrist” which brought me into God’s truth to make me a Seventh-day Adventist. When my husband’s uncle gave him your book I picked it up and I couldn’t stop until I had finished it. I was shocked when I read it. I had known that Bibles were burned by the priests and popes but I was SHOCKED when I read that they had tried to change the law of Gad. I wanted that moment to be faithful to God. Thank you for your books that is true, that opens the eyes of people, who Rome wants to keep in darkness.” Manga, India
Dear Pr. Hal Mayer, Am enclosing an amount of money towards the ministry. I don’t often have any to send (and I would like to). For a long time now have looked forward to receiving the messages on the cassettes from Pastor Nelson. They are always very much appreciated. I am not able to go to church these days and from what I hear from our children, I think the sermons on the cassettes would be more stirring to our hearts and keep us alert to our lack and need of God’s love and mercy in these end days.” Australia
“I write to express my profound gratitude and thanks to you and the ministry for your continuous sending of recorded tape of biblical prophecies and messages to me every month. May God richly bless you and the tape ministry to grow from grace to grace. In the month of August, 2004 I received the book “Maranatha” a devotional book by Ellen G. White. What a wonderful book. It is a book that will keep me and others that received them close to God.” Ghana
“Dear Friends, We have enjoyed Elder Nelson’s tapes for many years and miss him. But we have also been enjoying Hal Mayer’s messages and appreciate the direction he is taking. We are looking forward to more and also the religious liberty updates, and hope it can continue as long as possible. It is a blessing to us and we look forward to each one with great eagerness.” South Dakota
“Dear Pastor, Thank you for your recommendation to read Truth Triumphant. Brad and I are reading it, bit by bit, for one of our worship times. I’ve been reading… and have found it very helpful in understanding what is happening in the world today. What an eye opener! As to what cause some of this agony people are having to put up with…” Oregon
“Dear Friends at ‘Keep the Faith,’ here comes a small love gift to help the ministry! I appreciate the tapes you send once a month. I don’t have a computer; e-mail; CD, or DVD so at 84 years, I’ll use what I have till Jesus comes!” Maine
“We have enjoyed your tapes and feel they are helping us get ready to meet Jesus. He is coming soon! Our prayers are for you, and the good work you are doing. Keep it up.” North Carolina
“I’m glad you will be having CDs. I have a stereo with radio, cassette and CD players. The cassette player quit working and it is hard to find another. I finally got one for $8.00. I’m sure it won’t last long and I was afraid I would miss out on your timely messages. I very much enjoy these tapes even though sometimes my toes get stepped on. When that happens I know the Lord is telling me something through you and I need to change something. Thank you so much for giving us the truth even when it hurts and not trying to soften and weaken the gospel to keep from hurting someone’s feelings. That’s what Jesus wants you to do and I thank you. I miss elder Nelson, but I love you too.” New Mexico
“Dear Pastor, I thank you once again for the tapes you send so faithfully. They are so precious to me.” Florida
“Dear Elder-N-Dean Nelson, We have been blessed they way God has used you in your tape ministry. Our favorite was “Mad Cow” tape. Because of the Present Truth God has presented, we have discontinued all animal products. This February is 2 years now. I think God the way he used you.” Pennsylvania
“I am really grateful for the sermons I am receiving. I am a retired lay preacher also. What I am hearing preached now in the churches many times my stomach is sick to see how the gospel is watered down and twisted. I thank God for that first day when I lay hands on your tapes. I have been playing them over and over for comfort of the old path. I’m sharing them with others in my home and duplicating them and sending them all over.” Canada
“Dear Sir, Your books The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist changed my life for ever, and I am in the process of ordering hundreds more of them! It is the amazing truth, and I have a new vision for my life – to pass out as many of your books as I can, and I believe in doing things big when I do them. I prayed before writing this letter to you. One morning I was sitting on the end of my bed preparing for another day of work. I was still worshiping on Sunday, as I had been doing all my life— between Christian science and Baptist. All of a sudden the Holy Spirit came to me and said for me not to take the car but to take the bus to work. So I gave the car to my wife and I caught the bus. After arriving at my stop I went up the escalator and was about to go out the door when I saw The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist books lying by the exit. I didn’t think anything of it until the Holy spirit said to me “pick up the book and put it into your bag.” I did that and went to work. At lunchtime I began to read the books. I read half of it. Pastor all of my years of Sunday worship and their teachings were proven wrong by your books. I was so excited as I read, that when I got home I finished reading it, and my destiny was fulfilled. I know that the book is true, so now I must share it with others. God led me to become a Seventh-day Adventist. I know that I’m home at last sincerely.” Sidanthapu Anjeneyelu, India
“The last two tapes were fab. Keep this subject coming, that’s what I want to hear, and current issues. I know the past and keep it in mind, we want the book of Daniel and Revelation open, especially Rev. Its for our day, and Jesus time is soon to start! Warn the people, that’s our job. Please send the last two tapes to my Adventist friends…” England
“Was so happy to read the word of new fields of service for Keep the Faith! Pastor Mayer’s tapes are wonderful. May prayers are for you all & that God will bless mightily…” California
“Dear Elder Lawrence M Nelson: Where do I start. I’m a truck driver. I’ve been living just a worldly life for myself. Fatigue is a big weapon. My mind and body have been so exhausted that I guess I couldn’t see the love of God. But one day as I was driving, all of a sudden God came close to me. I just knew it was the presence of God. I didn’t pray. I didn’t confess any sins.(I would do those things later). At that time, I didn’t do “nothing,” but I didn’t resist Him. I let Him come close to me. And my life changed. For the first time, I didn’t resist Him. And he did something in my heart. I made up my mind that from then on, I was going to live for Him. Soon after that, the thought came to me, “Why am I not reading the bible? Then in a dream, I dreamed that I should read in the book of Isaiah. So I started reading it. Soon after that, a book came in the mail called The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist. My wife read it, and gave it to me. We both accept the message of truth in it. I know that God loves me. This past Saturday, we kept our first Sabbath. No more driving the truck on God’s Sabbath. Sweet is the feeling of obedience. Your books The Sanctuary Made Simple and The Antichrist coincided with what I read in the Bible. Sweet is the feeling of obedience. May God bless you!” Subbarho. V., India
“Thanks Elder Nelson for my tapes. Sometimes I have very bad lower back pain and cannot go to church. So on Sabbath I listen to the tapes. Thank you so much.” Louisiana
“I sell some goods from the market and I have a four band radio cassette. Hence I am almost all the times surrounded by youths who come to listen to my radio and the tapes I play. However, due to lack of tapes I only play local gospel music until recently when one visitor from Gweru in Zimbabwe introduced me to one of your tapes and consequently to your ministry. I thank the Lord for that. I am really impressed with the way these friends of mine listen to the radio attentively. Please kindly send me your audio tapes so that the word of God is preached to these youths who do not go to church but fortunately like to listen to my radio attentively almost all the times… Zimbabwe
“We would like to express our gratitude for your biblically-based and straight forward messages! This last tape, the one about “giving a more pointed message than John the Baptist,” was absolutely one of the best!! We must have listened to the tape three times in a row. We really need this type of encouragement and instruction in these last days as it helps spiritually fortify us. We live in such a sin-polluted world that tapes like these are a real help. Keep up the good sermons, we support your ministry. God bless as you continue to preach the undiluted gospel truth.” Oregon
“Many thanks for the audio tapes sent to me monthly. I appreciate the messages, such that when I will be in heaven, it is because you contributed a lot to my spiritual growth.” Zambia
“Pleasure to have this opportunity to communicate to you. I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus. To start with, may I say, God richly bless you for His ministry that you are taking care of. The tapes that you monthly send me are of great impact in changing people’s lives. I really appreciate them and I am seeing the difference from the time I started receiving them… I sincerely believe and trust that by God’s mercies, you will continue sending me spiritual materials and the community I serve in is also benefiting from them.” Zambia
“I want to thank you for your ministry… for all the truth that I have received and I am grateful that God has used your ministry as a vehicle to reach those of us who would’ve never known.” San Antonia, TX
“First we wish to thank brother Nelson for the many wonderful sermons we have received over a long period of time… We have nearly worn out the tapes. We had to separate from the “main structure” for they worship on Sunday, because of the dateline they say.” M, Fiji
“I was very much impress about the lesson and since I started receiving these lessons (cassettes) from October 1st 2003 I have learnt so much from the Bible as well as the past and coming crisis. “Moreover I have been able to share these lessons with my friends so as at now I have five friends whom I have been sharing these lessons on every month since October. (one of them is a pastor of another church). Zambia
“I was once a Muslim, and through your monthly messages I’m touched now. Your messages really converted me and that as I’m saying, I’m a Christian. So you can see yourself that there is still more to be blessed from your teachings.” Malawi
“I am praying for you and your family and the entire team you are working with to see to it that this work progresses. The tapes I recently received have placed me somewhere and with the different vision and unique vision. A vision that have changed my entire life of the way I do things and think. This lead me to study the Desire of Ages on the topic “The Voice in the Wilderness.” These topics (The Forerunner, Once Sentence Principle) in these tapes have change my life and I have become an advisor to my fellow youths. I found this shocking statement in D. Ages page 100-101. “youth is the sowing time. It determines the character of the harvest for this life and for the life to come.” I also studied the book entitled “The Entertainment Syndrom” devastating our youths, where was very strong words to prepare us for the coming crisis.” Zambia
“I am so thankful for the work you are doing of preaching to the whole world and helping so many people understand and know the Bible well. Since I started receiving your tapes, I have learnt quite a lot of things that I never understood… So far, the tapes that you have been sending me have helped me to win more than 75 souls to Christ and this number today has increased the number of our total membership at my church from 345 to 420.” Zambia
“I enjoy your CD’s very much because they are an eye opener. One day I went to church and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It was the first time in twenty years that I heard a sermon like that. I thought that is was about time that we hear proper sermons.” -Edna Abraham
