Not sure what to say?

We miss those Bible Munchies! Are they compiled into a book or CD?

Rev. Dr. Edward F. Watke, Jr. lives on here in Nigeria through the ministry of Family Life Ambassadors Network (FLAN). I can't remember again how the Lord providentially led me to your website. The materials on counselling which I got from the site are mostly what I'm using to minister and train many people in my country and beyond.

I don't know who might be looking back to this page in memory of Brother Watke. I received so many blessings in receiving his emails with a message. I still have some in my inbox and many printed out and even saw and went over several messages from him the other day. What a man with a message! Praise the Lord for his life and ministry. He surely encouraged us in our ministry! Sincerely, Bro Tom RIckard

Great friend! We miss him!bro tom and peggy Rickard

For sure, you have been enjoying what we are longing to enjoy one of these days - the uninterrupted presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. I remember you. Your work is still blessing uncountable number of lives over here. Glory be to the Lord Almighty.

I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. I'm really pained. Just found out of Dr. Edward Watke Jr.'s departure today while looking for materials at Revival in the Home Ministries web site. Trust you're consoled.

I met Bro. Watke in Bolivia many years ago. He was and has been (through his writings) a blessing to me for many years. I can't find his writings on Revival in the Home Ministries. Can someone please let me know how I can find them again. To the family of Bro. Ed.....he is with Jesus now and we are still left here to serve His Lord. Let us continue to carry the torch and spread the good news of the Gospel around the world.

Thanks, Dr. Watke, for your life of example! Bro Tom and Peggy Rickard

Missionary Story

Dr. Watke was CONTINUALLY a blessing to our ministry over the past 25 years! Just starting in a Missionary/Evangelist role, Dr. Watke was such an encouragement as we had sooo many things in common...belief, ministry, family, etc. Many phone calls, a few precious visits, and much encouragements through the "munchies" over the years.... SOOOOO many families were blessed by his counsel, uplifted by his encouragement, and put back together by his books and writings (all pointing to the...
