Our guest speaker is Terry Smith from Bemidji who, over a thirty-seven year span worked as a uniformed police officer, a long-haired undercover narcotics agent, an organized crime investigator, a SWAT commander, and a homicide detective.  He began his career with the Bloomington, MN Police Department, then moved on to do thirty years with the  Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA).  During his last seventeen years he ran a squad of homicide investigators for the BCA.  In his book CODE 4 Smith writes about things that happened while he was “protecting and serving.”  Some of them were dangerous, some gut-wrenchingly tragic and some humorous. He speaks with insight about the people he worked with “who could be kind or hard-edged as circumstances demanded” and the toll the policing took on their lives.
In 2001 Terry received the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association honorable mention award as Minnesota Police officer of the Year.

April 2nd, 2022  Justin Hoover

3/31/2022

 

Justin grew up in Northern Minnesota on a hunting and fishing resort.  He enjoyed hunting black bear, deer, grouse and raising hunting dogs. The Lord Jesus radically saved him in college at the age of 21 through the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.  

After graduating from college God called him to pursue his passion for aviation with Mission Aviation Fellowship in Indonesia.  While working in Indonesia as a missions pilot and a software engineer he was given the opportunity to preach in villages. It was through this experience that God confirmed his call as an evangelist to the nations.  

He returned to the United States and completed a Masters of Divinity from Bethel Seminary in St, Paul, Minnesota.  For six years he pastored in Minneapolis before God called him to work with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as a Crusade Director, both in the U.S.A. and internationally. 

Recently the Lord has called him out of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in order to work more with his ministry, Every Nation For Christ, preaching the gospel at evangelistic outreaches.  Justin’s passion is revival, winning souls, and planting churches, both in the U.S.A. and in every nation. 

He currently lives in Bemidji, Minnesota where he enjoys flying airplanes, spending time with family, hunting and anything on the water.

The Bemidji Area Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship America will be meeting on Saturday January 1st at the Beltrami Electric Community Room beginning at 8:00 a.m.  Come early and join in on the worship, testimonies and fellowship with the men and women  for this time of refreshing in the Lord.


​
Our Guest Speaker will be Abraham Hierlmaier from Bemidji.
He writes: I was born  September 1990, the fourth of five kids for my parents. They were believers and have attended the same church in southern Minnesota from when I was about 4 years old to this day. I graduated from Blooming Prairie High School in 2009 and the following fall I started at Riverland Community College (RCC) in there Industrial Maintenance and Machine Repair Program. In the fall of 2012 I completed my program as well as the requirements for transferring to BSU and in January 2013 I moved to Bemidji and began the engineering program.
My story of Christ working in me began when I was about six years old after my whole family was involved in a severe car crash around Christmas time. My injuries included two broken legs and I was afraid I would die. Fortunately my mom was a believer and explained that if we have Jesus in our hearts we don’t have to fear dying. At that time she prayed with me and I asked Jesus to come into my heart and following my recovery I was baptized. 
Of course, when I moved to Bemidji I wanted to continue going to church and the second week I was there I found one that I continued to go to for the next 6 years. First Baptist Church of Bemidji has been a great church for me. As I attended the services and listened to various guests, it never seemed to me that I was going to go overseas to do missions. It wasn’t until a group of men from the church went to India to teach pastors and do outreach that I felt any draw. When they returned with the stories of Gods power transforming lives and deep need that was there; at that point I prayed that God would break my heart for what breaks his.
In 2016 I was able to join a short term group going to Haiti with Country Faith Church through a coworker at Bemidji Aviation Services where I was working in their parts department. This was my first experience with missions and it opened my mind to missions and shortly after that I began looking into an organization called GoCorps. In January 2018 I left the US to serve in West Asia for 2 years with a training farm working with students mostly from Iran. The goal of the farm was to equip the students with an agriculture skill while also training them in scripture and how to be church leaders.
After 2 years in West Asia and returning to the US I committed to serve another year with Avant Ministries which was my original sending organization. As lock downs and travel restrictions came up in 2020 I was unable to return to West Asia and God opened the door to serving in East Africa for a year. In November 2020 I left again to serve a year there and I have seen God work in many ways during my time there. I returned to the US in November 2021 and am currently preparing to serve in a long term position with Avant. Currently I am seeking where God would have me serve and am confident He will make it clear in is time.

Please join us on Saturday January 1st  at 8:00 a.m. for a time of fellowship with fellow Christian men and women.  You will be refreshed and blessed.

Our Guest Speaker will be Jim Landes who resides in Bemidji.  Jim writes the following. “I grew up on a small farm south of the great city of Cass Lake, Minnesota. When I was 6, my parents, with their 5 children, relocated to eastern Pennsylvania.  Dad, a dairy farmer there, felt the call of God to pastor a little Mennonite church in Cass Lake. I was blessed with being raised in a Christian family and never felt the need to be like the world.  After high school I went to university, majoring in electrical engineering.  In 1969 I married my high school sweetheart, worked as a television engineer and later, at several other occupations.  I have two grown children, two  grandchildren and one great grandchild.  Come and be blessed as I share of God’s great goodness and mercy in redeeming me, a lost sinner, filling me with His Spirit and giving me a hope and a future.”

Please join us on Saturday November 6th  at 8:00 a.m. for a time of fellowship with fellow Christian men and women.  You will be refreshed and blessed.
