Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view
of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and praising to God-this is your spiritual act of
worship.
Romans 12:1
Hello friends and partners of Shiloh Ministries. My name
is David Walls. I am a teacher on staff here at Shiloh.
I have been here 2 years in October serving Christ our
Lord, under Pastors Rocky and Debbie. I will try, in
just a few words, to tell you how wonderful it is to
serve God here at Shiloh by giving you just a little
of a personal testimony.
I must begin by telling you that if not for the wonderful
woman I married I could not do what I do. She has been
patient and longsuffering in our service to God. We both
went to Bible College while working and raising our
children, however, after she acquired her Associates
Degree in Ministry she dropped out so that I could go on
and get my Bachelors. She has never stopped supporting me
in all that God has called us to do.
Before Bible College I studied the Word of God as a workman
unashamed (II Timothy 2:15). I was awakened to the fact that
the Church didn't know or understand a lot of their Bible.
I began to feel the need to tell someone about what the
Holy Spirit had taught me and was teaching me. After
seeking God's counsel, He instructed me to go to Bible
school. This stirred my curiosity ev
en more and I've never
stopped studying the Word of God.
God allowed me to teach a class in churches here and there
over the last 15 years but never enough time to really teach
like I wanted to teach. For a year I traveled for Central
Christian University, teaching and setting up study centers
for various churches all over the country but it was never
enough. Laura and I were even at one church 4 years teaching
and ministering but it never seemed to be quite enough. Yes
the people responded and from our classes other ministries
were started but it seemed as though we were never quite
at the right place. You just know in your spirit man when
it's God and when its not. Well Shiloh is God's place and
I praise Him for sending me here.
Laura and I had been working as Associate Pastors in east
Texas for about a year. God released us and we came back
to the Houston area not knowing what He would have us do.
We went back to Crosby church where we had attended before
we left the area, and were working in an annual outreach
for the church at the Crosby Rodeo grounds. I saw Pastor
Rocky from a distance and was impressed by the Lord to
ask him if I could come out and teach a class. One class
turned into 3 and one day turned into 5. So here I am.
Since the first day, God knit my heart to this ministry.
I have never in my life served with and for two people
with so much faith. Folks I have been walking with the
Lord twenty years and have been around people of God.
People well known and people not so well known. People
of great faith and people with little faith. But never
have I been with two people with faith like these two.
Literally every need is prayed into this place. Sometimes
God takes us to the last day we are almost holding our
breath. But He always comes through. This is truly His work.
We have many needs here at Shiloh. On the
Ministry
Updates page you will find some of them listed. The
only way we get these needs met is by God working through
you. I ask you today to please pray about supporting this
ministry on a monthly basis and to see what God would
have you to do concerning these listed needs.
For Laura and I this is just our reasonable service.
We will continue on here at Shiloh as long as God
allows us. We hope that will be until Jesus returns
for His Church. We will continue to teach the Word
of God and to teach the men of Shiloh that to have
a personal relationship with Jesus is the only way
to find true happiness and joy in your life. I pray
that God bless each and every one of you with abundance,
love, grace and mercy.
"Yours in Christ"
David E. Walls, Sr."
