There IS Hope and A Future as we honour faithful spiritual
Leaders and Pioneers
Last night I drove up
to Edmonton to be at People’s church to share in honouring Rev. Dr. Max
Solbrekken and his wife Donna. It was Max’s 80th birthday and
50thyear in gospel ministry.
Max has traveled all over the world in
Healing and evangelism, as well being a pastor and teaching. He has been on
radio and TV. Through his simple faith and bold presentation of the Gospel of
Hope and Healing tens of thousands of lives have been touched. Max has always
been a man who was more interested in following what he felt the Lord was
leading him to do then just doing what would be pleasing to on lookers.
We live
in a world full of followers in the Christian realm but there are very few
leaders. Max has always been a leader. Max like most real leaders may not
always have been understood but I honour him for not quitting or side stepping
the challenges the Lord has brought his way.
As we heard last night Donna has
stepped up to raise the family when Max followed the Lord’s leading him in
traveling the world for the sake of Sharing Hope healing and a future for
people. The family has also sacrificed a lot of time of with Dad not being
there as he helped others around the world.
It was wonderful to share in a time
of honouring a man and his ministry who at 80 is not slowing down too much.
After the formal time, as people came and greeted Bro. Max and Donna, true to
heart and call he was praying over anyone that was there with a need.
Thank you
Max for continuing to be a leader in the Kingdom of the Lord. As long as there
are heart motivated leaders like Max, There IS Hope and A Future.
