Know them that labour among You

Beloved, as a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can not express enough my purpose with this blog and my audio podcast, "A Few Words of Faith", which is solely to encourage and edify the beautiful saints of God. This is my ministry and I trust it is truly the will of God; for his word tells me; "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. ~1 Thess 5:11-13. And as I have been called by the Lord to labour among you and be a servant unto you, I too beseech you to know me.... Minister Chris Brewer
Like every man I was born in sin and shapened in iniquity. With no hope and a life pursued by evil, sin and death. A non-commissioned officer in the US military, with knowledge of the world, yet a fool walking in darkness. But when evil consumed me and sought to destroy my career and even my life; this poor man cried...and the Lord heard me, and saved me. It was on one early Saturday morning, March 26th, 1994, after my wife and I were fasting and praying for three entire days in an anointed shut-in service held at our church, The Way of the Cross Church of Christ in Newport News, Va. As we lifted up the name of the Lord with sweet praises and tarried, patiently waiting for the Lord to baptize our souls and fill us with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost; suddenly just like the bible said in the second chapter of Acts; "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting".... And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. ~Acts 2:4
Just like that which was prophesied by the prophets, the Lord poured his spirit upon both me and my wife, and we were saved on the same day; me first and my beautiful wife shortly afterwards, as the word of God says let all all things be done decently and in order. And indeed we spoke in tongues as the spirit of God gave us utterance. What an amazing birth we both shared and we continue to be two souls twain as one. And for several glorious seasons we laboured with the saints of God, contending for the faith that was delivered unto us. And as each season harbored battles, trials and blessings; it was the will of God that we journey on as we received another military assignment and departed the place where we were spiritually born again. And in the ripe harvests of Nebraska, Texas and currently Nevada we laboured unto the Lord, with patience and diligence, as the Lord called this poor man to preach the Gospel unto all, with no respect of persons. So with earnest expectation and hope in the power of God to all that are lost, I accept God's purpose for my life with gladness; and as Paul so eloquently stated, beloved I say unto you; "Let a man so account of me, as of the minister of Christ, and steward of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful". And faithfully I minister unto every listeners, that you all might be uplifted, encourage, delivered and set free...with a "A Few Words of Faith" .
