In addition to the children's outreach event, we had evening services with Les preaching Sunday - Friday. The evening services were perhaps the highlight of the week as Les preached with great depth of understanding of the Scriptures as well as a powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit on his preaching. Our congregation received a wonderful blessing and kept coming out night after night.

The Thelanders are currently responding to God's call to be evangelists. Over the years, we have come to appreciate the tender spirit and pure heart through which the Thelanders minister. They have served as both pastors and evangelists, which affords them the advantage of insight into the unique perspectives of both roles.
Should the Thelanders ministry be of use to you and your local church, we would not hesitate to recommend them to you. They will be a blessing to church members of every age and are endeavoring to bring ministry to the local church in affordable ways.

Marita spoke to the hearts of the women at our retreat with authenticity, vulnerability, and humor. Her teaching was full of insight and encouragement, and the weekend was much appreciated and enjoyed by all!
