Daniel Flemming – Apostolic Bible Institute/Church

Pastor Daniel and Amanda Flemming truly are the epitome of excellence in pastoring. In my entire life, I have never felt so loved by the pastor of my church. I had been helping in ministry with another church for a few years and felt led that my time there had come to an end. I looked and looked for a church to become a member of, but it just never felt right. But, I felt drawn to the church of my childhood and part of my adult life. They recently had received a new pastor so I met with Pastor Daniel & his precious wife, Amanda, after church one Sunday morning. After a long conversation of me telling them my history, basically, with tears in his eyes, Pastor Daniel extended his hand to me and said, “Welcome home, Deb!” I have found those were not empty words. They CONSISTENTLY show love to me and accept me as I am and where I am in this journey. The church already has their same personality traits of being a warm, loving, and friendly church. I watch and see that they are the same with everyone as they give their time to anyone who needs it, for as long as they need it, even if it means being late for, or missing an event entirely. Pastor Daniel truly is a God-like shepherd as he watches and looks carefully after his sheep, and I have seen no favoritism, one sheep over another sheep. They, we, are all loved and cared for alike! Prior to coming here, Pastor Daniel held the highest organizational position in the state in which they moved here from, so he was kind of a big deal, you could say. But, his humility is worn like a cloak, and his wife, Amanda, equally so. They will welcome anyone and everyone to come home, whether they were a member in the past or someone that’s looking for a great church family, who has an INCREDIBLE, loving pastor. Oh, and the icing on the cake? He is the absolutely BEST preacher and delivers God’s Word with clarity and with the powerful anointing of God, while he compassionately reaches for each person individually, and receives them without condemnation. Thank you, Pastor Daniel & Amanda Flemming for being who you are! I love you!

Joshua Gregersen – Cornerstone Church

Pastor Joshua is caring and intentional about building relationships with the people in our congregation. He’s only been with us a little over a year but he already knows most of the congregation well. He takes his role as Shepherd seriously and reaches out to help when anyone is going through something. His sermons are inspiring and Biblically based and he is authentic as he shares them. We’re so grateful to have him as our pastor!

Mike Swecker

Church: Hosanna Church Lakeville

I would like to nominate Pastor Mike. In a nutshell, he is an all around great man! He helped my husband and I through a not-so-fun time in our marriage. Pastor Mike was so very transparent and vulnerable with what he shared with both my husband and I. He did not have to do what he did and yet he shared very personal events that took place in his own life to help us relate to what we were going through in our marriage.

I am still in awe today at how truly compassionate Pastor Mike is for the people in our congregation. It recently came to my attention that Pastor Mike was diagnosed with cancer, I wanted to reach out to him, I made a phone call, left him a message. He called and left me a message back. Again, the man amazes me, the message he left me was to say thank you for reaching out, but then he went on asking me how I was, what was new in my life. He said we should stop by his office after church some day to catch up. He is such a selfless man, truly Pastor Mike is living the way Jesus wants us all to live.

Pastor Mike doesn’t dwell on himself, he is always looking to reach out to the next person. He is a great example of reaching UP to our Lord, reaching IN and using his love/compassion for people to reach OUT to those around him. Thank you KTIS for making this gift possible to Pastors.

Best Regards,
Amy
