Greetings to all the readers of this Blog,

My name is Paul Yoder. I grew up in an Amish community in Wisconsin but I currently live in Northwest Montana.

I had it on my heart to start a blog page to engage the greater community in central Indiana. We've had a number of great responses from non Amish people.

For those of you who have the Amish on your heart and have been praying for them, we would love to hear what the Lord is saying to you on behalf of the Amish people.

Some of you have wondered why you are receiving the letters from abuse cases within the Amish, what part do you play, and why you are mixed in with them.

We've gotten calls wondering why we just want to trash the Amish name. Why are we sending out mass mailings?

Let me explain. The Amish system, since it began, has been an inward focusing group. They only care about how they look to the outside world. One must follow their rules to a "T" in order to stay in good standing with them. However, because they only care about the outward appearance; when sin came, sexual abuse, physical abuse and everything the Bible defines as "the world" showed up. They have no place to go but to hide it. They have built walls around themselves so that their neighbors only see what they want them to see. Dead religion can never offer redemption. It can only make it look like a good thing from the outside.

If you begin to walk in darkness, you will continue to walk in darkness until The light comes and illuminates the sin.

So, back to the letter. We felt from the Lord that we need to send the letters to everyone, not to trash them, but to call them out publicly and say to them, "LOOK, your sin is dragging you to hell."

We believe its important that their hiding would be no more! The Devil of sin has had his day, and its over in Jesus Name! Ephesians 5;13.

In conclusion, our heart is to see the Amish set free so they would no longer need to hide behind the clothes they wear and by their appearance of something good. But that they would put on the robes that Jesus Gives us, which are His righteousness.

If any of you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and would consider partnering with us to set the captives free, we would love to connect with you.

If any of you want to walk in the freedom and Life of Jesus and have not yet known Him, please reach out. All of us have testimonies of being set free and being made brand new through the blood of Christ. We would love to share with you who the Lord is.

God Loves you all!
