Discipline my brother

I am pleading that someone from your team would mentor and disciple my brother Fred McNiel,
5926 Winding Lane Hixson Tennessee 37343. He is cared for by Community options due to his severe autism and mental and emotional issues. He loves his Bible and he loves sports and connecting to people. He is delusional but is smart and is hungry for relationships. I and many many others are praying for him but he desperately needs someone to come along beside him and due to my health and my husband’s and the distance I am not able at this point. My number is 865-387-7026. Feel free to reach out to me I email or text or calling I’m concerning any questions. I will continue to pray thank you so much

God Still Lives

Hi Don,
I am the teacher at the little one-room Seventh-Day Adventist School in Grayling, MI. This year as I was looking for a read aloud, I saw a small stack of God Still Lives in the cupboard at church. Remembering that everyone received a copy at teacher’s convention in Phoenix, I decided to use your book as a Read Aloud. I did not read it ahead of time, I just started reading it aloud to the class. That was this past fall. They loved it. I loved it. It was so real, honest, and miraculous. We finished the book a while before thanksgiving. At Christmas time, after not mentioning the book for some time, I asked the students if they would each like their own copy of your book (there was still a small stack in the cupboard at church, and I am down to 5 students). They all enthusiastically answered, “Yes!” My class is pretty honest. They would not have given that degree of enthusiasm if they didn’t mean it. I dialed it back to one per family since I felt that Kindergarten and 2nd grade younger siblings, probably wouldn’t be reading it to themselves anyway. However, those little students were so disappointed, I think I may go ahead and give those two younger siblings their copy anyway.

I just thought that I would share that we were blessed by your book. (As I was reading I was wondering about your discipleship program. Since I located this website to let you know we were blessed, maybe I’ll find some other resources here.)

May God continue to bless your ministry. If you think about it, consider praying for the student that withdrew just before Thanksgiving. Here parents took her out because they believe in Lunar Sabbaths, and that the earth is flat, and that you should not celebrate any Gregorian holidays, and that the Trinity is a very Catholic doctrine.

Obviously we need to increase enrollment. All children in our church, except one family of homeschoolers who homeschool due to traveling etc, attend our school.

Thank you again! God Bless!

Asked by Rachel Jameson

Praise the Lord! All honor, glory and praise to Him who sits on the throne of heaven.

May God bless you as you lead your students, however few. Each one is a precious child of God!

Book quantity

We just started a small group using “Follow” at my church. I need to order more books, but it’s showing “out of stock” for orders less than a box but in stock for a box of them. Is there any way I can get 25? Also, please pray for our group, that the Holy Spirit is poured out on our churches and community.

Blessings to you all!

Personal Account of Pastor Don

Hello! It’s been 5 years since we met Pastor Don at AUP, and since then, he has brought so many blessings into our lives by sharing Jesus with us. I’m looking for his email or any personal contact where I can message him personally. He’s someone I consider as a father, mentor, and guide in my personal walk with Jesus.

Thank you for answering my inquiry. God bless!

Moving Like Don – Live Like Elijah

Hi there,

Since 2018 I’ve been walking in full surrender to God. And He’s called me to leave my company go into full time Christian ministry since 2024 supporting faithful followers of Jesus and encouraging them to walk worthy in their calling firstly as believers and then fulfilling their God-given purpose on the earth.

For a while, I believe that God has been calling me to move to the US and December 2025 seems to be the time. Everything around me has me has been supporting this move as God has been making ways for my current functions at home to be supported without my involvement. Plus, I believe God has confirmed this move in many dreams that I’ve had, through dreams of another person and in sermons at my church. However, the major elements such as a job opportunity or a work permit haven’t been provided for. Nevertheless, I’m planning to renew my tourist visa tomorrow and move in December with the plan to return to my country in June 2026. We’ll see what God does between now and then. I ask for prayers of provision, protection and favour with God and man and I continue to walk by faith.

My aunt gifted me Don’s book, “Like Live Elijah” just one month ago and after reading his migration story to Canada, I said “oh goodness… Lord, why did you give me this book now.” As a human, everything in my flesh would have loved to receive a job opportunity and migrate under a work visa or green card, but I’ve noticed that God doesn’t make things that simple for me. He often chooses the uncharted or unorthodox path because that’s how He gets the most glory out of my life. Going under my tourist visa and without consistent income, places me in a vulnerable position. If it be God’s will, I also plan to stay with my boyfriend’s parents for the 6 months (I asked him today) and I’m getting the inclination that when I return home in June 2026, it will be to have our wedding in my home country. So I also ask for prayer that if it be God’s will, they will allow me to stay with them over the next 6 months. Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated.

Asked by Britney Sealy

Wow! Sounds like God is calling you! We will be pleased to pray for provision, protection, and favor with God and man for you! Continue to let God lead you! You can trust Him!
