    The father of my son-in-law was the pastor that was put in jail for having a Christian School in the 1980’s in North Platte, Nebraska. Through this horrible ordeal, we now have the right for private Christian schools. We are so thankful for the ones who have gone before us and fought for the Christian rights for our generations to come.

    More, more, more!! I studied the Anabaptist stories in church history in college. Can you take your Dad to Switzerland and interview the man who listened to God and brought reconciliation? What a treasure that would be. More history from your Dad Priscilla. How did God build an Amish church revival through your Dad. I can't imagine how hard that was without family support. My parents were married the same year your parents were. What a journey of following God. I can't tell how blessed I feel listening to this story. Such a feeling of hope. God does hear our prayers for revival. When we seek God we find Him p

      I must agree with the last comment please go to Switzerland. Francis & Edith Schaffer had a commune called LaBree Young people could stay for a short time visit ask questions & study, eat, hike with each other. Many came from America they stayed In a hostel with the Shaffers
      hostel living
      Frances Schaffer and C.Everett Coop later wrote a book called “Whatever happened to the human race” Our youth need places they can learn with there peers about the Lord. Our Swiss need to hear & learn from communities that walk with our Lord. Thank you for your thoughtful interview 🙏 Praise God

    Oh my goodness!! I kind of stumbled across this video and it immediately brought back a memory. Priscilla, your dad was part of a reconciliation conference in Pennsylvania that was part of that Anabaptist/Reformed church reconciliation journey years ago. I was there and remember him. I loved listening to his story on this video , but it only scratched the surface of the reconciliation story. I would love to hear more about his journey with that. I think you should do a part two video. This was so good.

    I live near Tampico IL in the area of the Tampico Amish Mennonite community. I’ve heard stories from many years ago how non Amish (English) in this area did the same, torched a school they were trying to establish. I just can’t believe people would do that! We love our Amish Mennonite neighbors! They are a thriving community now!

    My dad was Amish. We are from Indiana. His mom and dad were from Berne/Geneva area but he grew up in Grabil. Berne was definitely more conservative. They left the Amish and most of his siblings are conservative Mennonite. I love learning their history. We are not Amish nor Mennonite. We go to a Church of Christ. Swiss days is coming up in Berne and I love going! It's like a street fair with a parade. I'm hoping to take my five kids for the first time!

    Greetings from Switzerland! Since quite a while we have been watching your videos and enjoyed every one of them. This one is very special to us because we know Geri Keller and have heard of the Reconciliation process. We also visited the Amish Country in Lancaster/Pensylvania some years ago and also the places where the Anabaptists were living and hiding in Switzerland. What a story! Thank you so much for telling your parents story. It is a real blessing to us.

    Yes your parents are still young… Apparently he’s 10 years younger than I am!! My grandfather on my mother side was Mennonite. I never knew whether he was connected with the Amish view or not. He died long before I ever learned the difference. I’m so glad God is using such lovely people access beautiful couple. And they’re younger family is beautiful to. Thank you for sharing your life story with us. Biggest thing I’ve learned at the moment, from this story is to release my children to God. He knows what’s best for each of them. I have a daughter newly diagnosed with breast cancer and a daughter-in-law fighting multiple myeloma. Both are cancerous that could well take their lives. I’m not sure were each is with God, but I know only God can change a heart. And blessings on all of you and your stories.

We have a wonderful pastor/friend that came to Jesus out of Old Order. He has quite a testimony of being delivered from drugs. He pastors a church in Apple Creek.. We have a burden for these beautiful people to be free from the religious spirit. So happy you all found your freedom in Jesus Christ Blessings!

    This brought back memories of the time that I lived in Berne, Indiana. I married a man from there and after a few months in an apartment on Jefferson Street, catty corner from the grocery store, we moved to a farm nestled among Amish farms. It's a beautiful area with beautiful people that were still being harassed by the English. I wish that you had a branch of your church here in the northwest valley suburb of Phoenix. I'd be joining in a heartbeat.

    I know the time frame has been quite a while since your parents had been at Beaver Springs Church, (which I didn't know that they were a part of that church history) it has grown to a very large church, they built a new building along 522, a few miles from the original place, very interesting as we were at that church yesterday. Awesome,
    it sure is a small world.

    Such a wonderful story! My father was called into the ministry way back in 1930. While he was working in a cornfield in Iowa and God called dad by his name name and my unbelieving uncles, his brothers heard it too! He Was ordained in the assemblies of God and Started as an evangelist when he was 18. He married my mother and they pastored churches for 28 years.. I grew up as A PK and Praise God, I'm still serving him today at 78.
    I heard my mom and dad talk about many miracles that took place in their early ministries and after, things you wouldn't believe. I saw some myself.
    I lost my husband 35 years ago. I had no job, I lost the house because I could not make the paymentsBut God took me places I would never dream I would be. I believe he allowed it to free me up to do his plan.
    Our God is so good and so faithful!!! What a joy it is to know we will see our soon coming King!!! Blessings to you all, in Jesus's name!!!!

    Hey Montana Haven! I really enjoyed the stories told by the parents.
    I’m not Amish, Mennonite, or Hutterite but I’ve learned much about them in the past 10’years or so.
    Mostly because God called me as a young boy to smuggle Bibles into closed countries. During the 10 years I took them into China, Vietnam, and Laos young people from Mennonite and Amish families who had been born again and Spirit filled, came over as teams and helped us move almost a million Bibles! Hallelujah.
    They were the hardest working , joy filled young people I have ever seen.
    Praise the Lord!
    I especially liked the Fathers comment in the video about “Hope” and how it is a strong powerful word and not a wistful wish.
    Our Hope is in the Lord!
    I live in White Sulphur Springs, Montana currently and grew up not far from here. There are several Hutterite colonies nearby and the Lord is doing His work among them. One young lady went to Montana Wilderness School of the Bible and is now a missionary. Praise God!
    Blessings on your family.

    I enjoyed this so much! What a testimony! I was so moved by the way he took care of his brothers. And what an amazing story of how God provided the money. I’d love to hear more. And I really enjoyed Joas’ father’s story as well.

    Thanks for that video. Ben is my dad's first cousin. It's a comfort to hear of his journey on this earth. We, too are trying to bravely walk in the truth and ask that you pray the He would reveal His will for us at the right time.

    How precious your parents are, Priscilla! I think you take after both of them, by the way. What a blessing to have such a faithful, caregiving, courageous legacy. I appreciate what your father said about hope being more than a sense of wishing. How true your father's words are about how the religious system can divide families. Beautiful wisdom in the letting loose he mentioned, as well. I feel like I've been to church this evening and I loved sitting under this small bit of your father's teaching. I love that he honored your sweet mother and thanked you all. Thank you very much for this wonderful testimony/interview. May the LORD bless your dear parents and all of you.

    God bless your family. Wonderful testimony of how God worked through your father to bring Christ's salvation among the Amish. I never knew that was happening. My Dad grew up Amish in PA, but became Mennonite, he was a generation older than your parents. My father also went to Switzerland in 2004 to a conference for reconciliation in Zurich. It meant a lot to him also to see the river where Feliz Manz was drowned. God is faithful and remembers the sacrifices made by our ancestors for their faith. I pray our country will turn back to God.
