Ten Years and Counting ...

This blog, “Let’s Talk …” isn’t the only communication medium the Weresch’s use to further the spread of the Good News. Recently a website “Paul Weresch Online” has been launched. Also, a newsletter has been going to a mailing list that includes supporters in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Ten years ago this month, after returning from a four day visit with the Weresch’s in Germany, I designed and published the first newsletter showcasing how God has used them through the last several decades. They took me on a whirlwind visit through the territory they had ministered in during the cold war … delivering Bibles, money and medicine behind the Iron Curtain to believers in Eastern Europe ... laboring obediently with a price on their heads. At that time, the mentoring that had begun six years before in Tacoma, Washington came to full bloom and I was sold out to this couple, who through every obstacle had been obedient to the Lord.

Between the periods … Spring 1999 and Spring 2009, Paul’s supporters have received 21 issues of “Der Bote” which loosely translated means “The Messenger” in German.

The Spring 1999 issue was the first time the Weresch’s had more than a single typewritten page for their newsletter, so they provided material for one page … the front … and kindly let me ramble on for three more about our travels during my visit along with a few of the hundreds of pictures taken.

It has been a delight to put together these missals for ten years … a labor of love … love for our Lord and love for Paul and Betty Weresch. After much prodding, we have found a way to link them to this blog and they are available by touching any of the dates in the column to the upper right. You will have access to the very first issue as well as the last three. Possibly, if they are enjoyed by you, the frequent reader, we will prepare and upload all 21.

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

"Do You Have A Mentor?"

The original Mentor is a character in Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. When Odysseus, King of Ithaca went to fight in the Trojan War, he entrusted the care of his kingdom to Mentor. Mentor served as the teacher and overseer of Odysseuss’ son, Telemachus.

The Dictionary defines a mentor as "a trusted counselor or guide." Today, there seems to be much ongoing discussion and debate about the definitions and differences regarding coaching and mentoring. However, all agree that a good mentor is a valued asset.

When I began my Christian walk 15 years ago at the age of 58, God entrusted me with an excellent earthly mentor. While I have known many great Christian men in those years, the Lord knew that I would be most comfortable with a mentor who had been on the cutting edge of His work. That mentor was Paul Weresch. He has been an excellent "trusted counselor and guide".

We have worked together often over the years. I have published his newsletter many years and now he has asked me to write for this endeavor. I am happy to have Paul as a mentor … however, he is not the only mentor I have.

Jesus said, as reported by John in Chapter 14:25-27, "All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor , the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

If you are beginning your Christian walk … it will help to find a good earthly mentor. However, always remember … "God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.’" (Hebrews 13:5-5)

No one could have a better mentor or friend than the original mentor, Christ Jesus!
