RSS This BlogTonight I ate dinner with John Bouquet who is also teaching at Word of Life this week. Because his church is located in an area with many Amish people, they support a ministry called Mission to Amish People. John said there are 60-70 former Amish who have come to Christ and now attend the church he pastors. Joe Keim who heads up the ministry was raised Amish and ultimately left the community when he came to Christ. He is now a deacon in the church John pastors. John said, “Ray, the website will blow you away.” And it did. They send 6400 Bible lessons out to Amish families every month. The stories are quite incredible of how God has opened the door to share the good news of God’s free grace with many Amish, especially the young people. This is the sort of niche ministry most of us never know about.

It seemed ironically humorous to me that a web site has been developed for the Amish. Must be those out houses or barns have more connectivity than it initially would appear. I wonder what kind of hit rate they're experiencing, and how many of the hits actually come from the Amish.
In our communities here in Pennsylvania, the Amish are believers... so I suspect that the hit rate from this neck of the woods is really low.
