Hey Fred,

As your brother and friend in the Lord (as well as in the natural), I wanted to thank you for all you do. What better place to bestow honor and praise on another than here?! We in the McKinnon family are so blessed to not only have a wonderful and close family in the natural, but also to know that each and every member of our natural family are also part of a more incredible spiritual family called the body of Christ. It’s awesome to know that we can continue in the coming age!

Your “source of supply” to the body of Christ is awesome, and I am so pleased to see the great strides you have made as a man, husband and father – as well as the ones you have made as a minister and believer.

I so enjoy your newsletters and now your blog site! It’s a wonderful source of supply to me personally. I will continue to lift you and your family up to the Father, and pray that He will continually guide and direct you. I am in faith that you will be blessed more in this year than you have ever dreamed or hoped for. (And I know you are a dreamer!)

Be blessed in all you do, brother.

Your Brother

Rob

Hello Fred, Name mate

Thanks for your message. I also hope for you and yours, but also for all our brothers and sisters in Christ that 2005 will be an amazing year. God is able to do more and show more power and love and miracles, that we can understand and realize and expect and pray for. You can read about my vision on my site http://vision4life.shows.it I really hope that in 2005 God will show me in a very convincing and clarifying way what my path will be to server him in my family, our church, and in my work. It is hard to set priorities, we had hard times with family problems (even among christians) Please pray for us for wisdom and comfort. Pray that God will give me more inspiration and focus (see http://www.kn7000.net/Fred_Mellink).

God Bless, Fred Mellink

Hey Fred…Happy New Year to you and Joy and the kids! As I sit here with my coffee and write, Edward is in Mexico leading a team from his church in Maine in helping a Mexican Church with some building efforts and teaching a “Purpose Driven Life” small group in Spanish. Leigh-Ann is relaxing with her parents in warm Dallas. Melissa, Leon and I are at home trying to recover from terrible colds. The dog is wandering the house wondering why no one will play with him. It really blesses me to see where God has brought you…those beautiful children! And a Godly wife. That’s all a man could really want. Edward and Leigh-Ann are expecting their first child in July. I pray that Melissa will find Mr. Right this year…if you see him down there, please let us know !! I will keep your projects in prayer. Please pray for our family…we are facing some wonderful opportunites and some equally large obstacles. Thanks for keeping in touch. Love you, Jeanne

I appreciate this website so much. I am in love with God and also with music. I love, as you say, to worship with others. I am assistant in a worship group, play keyboards and sing. But I also have written songs that I’m still not sure what to do with and how to do it. I understand what you are saying about taking that grief and the heart of God over the tsunami situation, and interpreting it musically. This is the place where God comes to me with music and words, when there is a need that I am burdened over. He breaks my heart over it in intercessory prayer and then gives me the music. God bless you in your endeavor. The purpose is not for self to have the music I understand. It is for a purpose of ministry, of healing, of understanding, lifting, encouragement, empowering, a way of sharing God’s heart to others.

Also, as you said… your main job before God is to be that Godly husband and father. What an awesome responsibility we have as parents.

You have set out some wonderful goals. Everything good and perfect comes from God above. I will keep you in prayer as you search for the heart of God in your endeavors in 2005.
