Matthew D. Helmich: Ministry of Helps Coordinator 

As of July, 2008, I am serving the Lord as Coordinator of the Ministry of Helps. I am assisting senior pastor, Pastora Diana Brevan, who is a worldwide ordained minister who can minister to people worldwide the Word of God. 

 

The following is my Christian testimony

 

When I was thirteen years old, I was invited to Sweet Springs Baptist Church the first time by my next neighbours, which were the Magruders. I attended Sunday School and the Sunday Morning Service with them a few times until they moved to Highway D.

 

Four years later, on Saint Patrick’s Day I came back to Sweet Springs Baptist Church with the Kirby family to a prayer meeting service and a young boy named Nathan Stevenson asked me if I was saved or not. I did not know what saved meant, so I was lost without Christ.

 

Therefore, I attended church for Sunday School, Sunday Morning and Evening serviced and Wednesday Evening Bible Studies and on Friday, April 2nd, 1993, in a revival service with evangelist Brother Bobby Bates preaching I felt God tugging with my heart wanting me to accept His Son, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Therefore, I asked for prayer before the invitation and came to Brother Kenneth Sears, my former pastor, and asked him how to become born again. I listened very carefully and I believed every word and then I prayed and confessed that I was lost and sinner and asked Jesus to forgive of my sins and I believed He died on the cross and rose again the third day out of the grave and confessed my sins, then asked Jesus to save me in Jesus' name Amen.  That evening I got saved.

 

On August 1, 1993 I joined Sweet Springs Baptist Church and was baptized in immersion in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost after the Sunday Evening service.

 

In 1994, I become an attendance taker, choir member, and a usher under my pastor Kenneth Sears.

 

In 1998, under my current pastor Tim Gibson, I continued the things I did under Brother Kenneth Sears and become a helper in Vacation Bible School in June

 

On September 17, 2001, I became Sunday School Secretary until November 28, 2005.

 

In March 2003, I became a helper for the bus ministry.

 

In December 2005, I became a backup Sunday School teacher.

 

I have been a member of this Fellowship since January 14, 2005. I am currently the coordinator of our Ministry of Helps.

 

I will continue to help Pastora Diana Brevan and my home church at Sweet Springs Baptist Church until the Lord comes.
