.."Save me, O God! For the Waters have come up to my neck, I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing...I have come into deep waters, and the floods overflow me..  I am weary of my crying, and my throat is dry.  My eyes fail while I wait for God. Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head. They are mighty who would destroy me. Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it...(Ps 69:1-4)

40 years ago, God sent me among my people, the Amish, to preach Jesus and Him crucified....The Amish, who for generations have left the faith of our forefathers, the Anabaptists...Because of God's Anointing on me, and the Ordnung idol they worshiped, I became the target of their vengeance by the Amish Communities all across America..........

My life, more than my words, brought deep conviction to them. While many came to a saving faith, the bishops from all across America rose up against me...Their deeply ingrained religion was being exposed and began falling apart.

Originally, starting out in the Swiss communities, and after many excommunications later I ended up in the Amish community of Mio, Michigan. This community reflected the polished religion, beyond all other Amish churches in America. Initially, I was blinded by their appearance of holy conduct...While claiming to teach the "New Birth, " their adherence to the Ordnung idol was hidden underneath the facade of teaching the New Birth..

They became known as the leader of the 'so-called' Michigan churches, their pride well hidden in their outward appearance of holy conduct. For 10 years, my life, more than my words, stood in opposition to their deeply hidden religious conduct. In the end, I was quietly shunned and put out of their fellowship--not because I stood against their religious activities, but they deeply feared the Holy Spirit that flowed through me....

The Amish church of Mio, Michigan, was the epitome of the religious spirit found throughout America, having a form of holy conduct, while adhering to their religion 2 Tim 3-5...Not unlike King Saul, who was a humble man and anointed,  and who was initially called by God, ended up at a medium's house of En-Dor...1 Samuel chapter 28..

We, the Amish church, are in a similar condition today!  A clarion call is going out all across America, in particular to the Bishops everywhere to come back--Forsake your Ordnung idol worship, and fall on your knees in repentance, call on God that HE might yet extend mercy in this critical hour.........Daily, I appeal to God for mercy, and to withhold His wrath which we deserve......Thank you, Father God, for remembering the shed Blood of thousands of Anabaptist martyrs before us--in consequence giving us yet this one last opportunity..
