Ernest Nullmeyer. How I Triumphed Over Multiple Traumas

Отрывок из книги

Ernie lives and breathes the Word of God and delights in its revelation. He is an extraordinary communicator whose command of the written and spoken word has helped him to witness for his Lord so powerfully for over 60 years. Whether as a radio broadcaster, a preacher, a pastor, a family man or a friend, Ernie has always had two hands in the air reaching up to God and those same two hands reaching out to those in need. As the leader of the Barrie and District Christmas Cheer Association for nearly 30 years, Ernie lived out his faith, helping thousands of less-fortunate men, women and children to celebrate Christmas with food on the table and toys under the tree. He led an army of volunteers to create a living, breathing testament to the words of Jesus “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 19:19) and showed how much he cared for others through sacrificial service and selfless commitment. Rightfully earning the nickname “Mr. Christmas,” Ernie helped spread joy and hope to people who were lonely and in need of help, a position he well understood, as he would often reflect on his own boyhood memories of his family receiving assistance when they were in a time of financial difficulty.
