Pastor A: “Since Dr. Spake
spoke to us here in the Bahamas, I have restructured my church-abolished
Men's fellowship and Women's fellowship, and made one thing--Family Fellowship;
My elders got together, sat around the table and discussed how they are
to run the church. Suddenly all of a sudden gifts are manifesting. Most
important is we are experiencing more of the presence of God in the services
and more love in the body!! All I can say is WOW! Three weeks later, my
church is overflowing and we don’t have enough room!”
Doctor B: “I have been listening to your tapes in the car--there's
so much meat there--how did we ever take it in, and how were you able
to give out so much!! … It is amazing how one can recover in the
Holy Ghost!”
Leader C: “My husband senses the excitement continues
from your visit. It's the first time he has expressed such an interest
… which is quite neat.”
Pastor D: " I knew something was not quite right, but
didn't know what it was. Now I know--and I have to set about restructuring
my church according to the pattern made so clear by Dr. Spake."
Pastor E: "Now I see why it wasn’t working (my church) and
I have to make more than cosmetic changes. When will she (Dr. Spake) be
back? I need help!"
Leader F:" My pastor had to leave his denomination (…)
because the Lord was showing him how to structure his church according
to the book of Acts, and his leadership could not accept the changes he
wanted to make…. Now we are growing by leaps and bounds, and we
get a chance to have a say in the church… we are consulted a lot.
We are happy."
Pastor G: "I knew the pyramid module was wrong but it was all I ever
knew. Now I'm going to do … like what Dr. Spake showed."
Pastor H: "I want all my leadership to hear this (Dr. Spake’s
teachings) so when I make a change from the pyramid to the circular
we'll all be on the same page."
Pastor I: "Wow! This is awesome! No wonder the people are so unhappy
and they don't even know why! I am tired of having people worship me,
and make me like some sort of king. I'm so sick of it. I cannot meet their
needs--only Jesus can!"
Pastor J: "I am very open to this. I know this is from God."
Leader K: "Can you imagine how it would be if we as leaders began
to submit to one another, share resources like facilities, avoid all this
duplication of buildings etc. We could build a real church (people) not
buildings. I'm ready for it.”
Pastor L: "… I am open to this paradigm shift.
Pastor M: “It was life changing.”
