Our spiritual fathers of the sixties in the great revival of Argentina where shocked when reading Devern's book Unto Full Stature. The discovery that salvation was the beginning of a process and not the end, changed for ever our vision of the church and God's purpose. I had the blessing to meet Devern in his Indianapolis home, what a man of God!!

I briefly met Brother Fromke where he spoke at a convention in Springfield, MO in the early '80s. His ministry was powerful then, and his books have changed my life. My wife of 9 years has just started her first introduction to his books. I pray his ministry will continue through his books for lifetimes to come.

I will always count it a privilege to have know DeVern when I lived in Indianapolis and attended the Broad Ripple Church. His books and his life were and still are an encouragement to me. I look forward to being reunited with him in the new Heaven and new Earth.
