<b><span style="color: red;">Our ANNUAL NO GREATER LOVE MINISTRY KICK-OFF will be held at Community of Faith Church in Marion, Illinois on October 3rd and 4th.</span></b></div>
<br />
This event will be a blast. We will worship, have fellowship, have great barbecue, and demonstrate what the Lord is doing in and through each of us. Make plans NOW to not only attend, but bring other men who are on your heart for the Lord to touch them as well. <br />
<br />

These men will be able to see what others are doing as well. All of us will enjoy and see opportunities for us to join others for ministries that touch our hearts. <br />
<br />
All of you men are very special to me. I have given my life through NGL for 40 years investing in your lives. Now, I am excited about doing this Ministry Kick-Off to be with all of you and see how the Lord is honoring His Word in Acts 6:7. <br />
<br />
NGL has been sowing seeds into your lives and NOW I want to see you “Disciples” multiplied and growing in your walks with our Lord. We look forward to working with each of you throughout the year, in a mentoring role, as we continue to Obey the Great Commission all the way from Sarge in Asia to David Maragni in Marion, Illinois to the down and out. <br />
<br />
Love ya’s and hope to see <u><b>ALL</b></u> of you at the <b><u>NGL KICK-OFF</u></b>!!! <br />
<br />
In His service,<br />
Fred<br />
<br />
<b>PS: </b> This will give us a chance to have a “yearly” checkup to “see, hear, and experience God in each other.”<br />

Soon!<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">Let’s Go Get'tum Guys!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE ANOINTING TO BE UPON EACH ONE OF US TO GET EXCITED AND ENLIST MEN FOR THIS 40TH ANNUAL MARDI GRAS EXPERIENCE. </span></b></div>
<br />
This is the last weekend before the FEBRUARY 17TH DEADLINE for the “Early Bird $50.00 Discount.” After NEXT MONDAY, the donation will go up to $250.00. I am praying for the Lord to use each of you as His spokesmen to get men on board for this life changing experience. <br />
<br />
I know of no place on earth that the Lord will use more, from February 28-March 4th to have the opportunity to share the Love of Jesus than at the Mardi Gras. God <b>ALWAYS</b> meets us there! Don’t miss it and don’t let those you know miss it either. We all will come home leaving more of ourselves behind and holding tightly to the “Rod of God.” I believe the Lord will call forth many men to the harvest fields of the world through this mission. Many ministries have come forth as a result of this Mardi Gras Adventure.<br />
<br />
Sarge, who has spent the last five years in Vietnam, is coming all the way from Vietnam for this last total Mardi Gras Mission to be with all the guys. He will be singing his famous “Amazing Grace medley” and “Mighty Warrior.” He will be manning his treasured “Manhole” cover over by Jack’s Brewery. <br />
<br />
"When we are willing to overcome our fear of people, openly identify with Jesus, and be bold in our confession of Him, we become OVERCOMERS!!" - Ed Cole Revelation 12:11 <br />
<br />
The Lord is calling men for His work and You and I are invited to join Him in the enlistment. See you soon at Williams Blvd Baptist Church in New Orleans on Friday, February 28th!!!!<br />
<br />
Love ya’s and so honored to serve with you,<br />
<br />
Fred<br />

<br />
Let God touch you and come with us!!!! <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">He touched my lips with it and said, “Now you are pronounced ‘not guilty’ because this coal has touched your lips. Your sins are all forgiven.” Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom shall I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go?” Isaiah 6:7-8</span></b><br />
<br />

And I said, “Lord, I’ll go! Send me.” <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>FOR THE “EARLY BIRD SPECIAL”!</b></span></span></div>
<br />
Sign up NOW at <a href="http://www.nogreaterlove.org/">www.nogreaterlove.org</a> and save $50.00 for the Mardi Gras trip of a life time!!!<br />
<br />
Over the last 39 years, we have taken thousands of men to Mardi Gras. Some have been up standing in their lives and communities while others have rough battle scars. Some have a call on their lives and others just want to move forward in their spiritual lives. I have seen God minister to all kinds. <br />
<br />
No Greater Love Ministries reminds me of the Statue of Liberty for Christian men. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."<br />
<br />
God has never given up on me and that is the same commitment I make to EVERY man who is willing to come and fit in with our program. This will be the 40th Mardi Gras Outreach and it will be my last leading this event. I would love to see men present and everyone from the past that you can bring with you.<br />
<br />
There will be plenty of room for everyone!!!! I would like to see 300 mighty men going forth for our Lord!!!<br />
<br />
Love ya’s,<br />
Fred<br />

<br />
A quick note on what is going on at the moment with NGL:<br />
<br />
Dave Munson and I have taught in a Bible School in the Philippines. I have continued to keep up and encourage many of the Alumni. As you know the huge Typhoon there is one of the largest in history. One city, Tacloban, was hit first and utterly wiped out. The winds were 195 mph sustained winds and<br />
gusts of 225 mph. It is a wonder anyone lived. Small children were ripped from their mother's arms.<br />
<br />
One of our Alumni, Richmond Sevillano, is a pastor and is on his way with a large caravan taking supplies to Tacloban. We are going to send relief soon through Pastor Richmond. We do know this will get to the people as he is delivering this part himself.<br />
<br />
I know many of you have seen the pictures of the aftermath on TV. I would like to encourage you to give to help these people at this time before more die without water, food and medical supplies. You can send checks to NGL marked "Typhoon Relief" or do it on Pay Pal which would help us get funds to them quicker. This past Thursday, we sent the first financial help of $500.00 to Pastor Richmond. This will help him replenish what he is on the way with right now.<br />
<br />
Pray also for Pastor Richmond as he personally is involved in taking supplies to these places as there is much looting going on. He said that many have been ransacking the stores that have anything left in them knowing they might be shot by the owners, but seeing that as their only chance to survive.<br />
<br />
No Greater Love is no longer a United States alone ministry. We have invested strongly for the past 33 years in Honduras. We have people now in the Czech Republic and Viet Nam and others in the military oversees. We have been investing in some of these Alumni in the Philippines for over ten years. Shane Bishop is mentoring Pastor Richmond through Facebook. This is an opportunity to lift up the hands of our friends there during this time of their desperate need and opportunity. <br />
<br />
My Secretary Abby and her husband Adam are also collecting the following items to be shipped to the Philippines in the near future... <b>toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, brushes, band-aids, first aid kits, triple antibiotic ointment, deodorant, soap, shampoo, wash cloths and towels, flash lights and batteries</b>. These items are being collected at the NGL Office and the First United Methodist Church of DuQuoin. For more information on donating items contact Abby at nglabby@yahoo.com or leave a message at the NGL Office 618-542-4503 and she will call you back as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Love ya's,<br />
Fred<br />

Hi Mighty Man of God!!!! <br />
<br />
I am excited about our Fall Kick-Off. It will be a good time of Reunion and preparation for our New Year at Mardi Gras and for our personal lives in general. Our Theme will be more about “Legacy.” I am very concerned that most of us never reach the potential and purpose God has designed for us. All of us have flaws and don’t realize how necessary it is for us to live and work in a community of believers to help encourage our good things and hold us accountable for the weaknesses in our lives. We all need each other to produce a product worthy of the Name of Jesus Christ. The Gates of Hell can’t withstand the Kingdom of God, but it can whip the “Lone Ranger” every day of the week.<br />
<br />
Roger Lipe will be sharing about the future on Friday night. We will have praise and worship with the Okies and Jim Rich.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning will be a blast as I show pictures of the past and tell stories how I received the anointing for each part. I will be sharing Saturday morning about the history of the ministry and how I got the anointing for each part. of the things I have learned from others and have shared with many of you through our events, that some of the parts will resonate with you.<br />
<br />
Saturday afternoon I will share the Biblical process for the “Anointing” and then have a laying on of hands and anointing with oil. I believe “the Word will increase and that DISCIPLES WILL MULTIPLY.” There will be enough of God to go around as He is a REWARDER of those who DILIGENTLY seek Him.<br />
<br />
I have played the role of “Elisha” many times getting the anointing from the “Elijah’s” for all the things NGL is known for at this time. NOW I get to play the part of “Elijah” giving double portions to those like “Elisha” that have a heart for His service.<br />
<br />
Love ya,<br />
Fred<br />

<br />
Ecclesiastes 3 says " For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:" I have had many seasons in life and it was difficult to give up each "season" because I didn't know yet what the new "season" was going to be about.<br />
<br />
Season 1: I went through college and seminary and started my first full time pastorate in Pinckneyville, Illinois. Many young people in the area were on drugs and I couldn't help them. My teachers and I were raised back in the day of "Leave it to Beaver" and "Andy Griffith" on TV.<br />
<br />
TIMES THEY WERE A CHANGING: I started studying men like David Wilkerson and how he was seeing drug kids change and I studied his methods and began using them with the kids in Pinckneyville and then on to Carbondale with college kids and then on to Miami to witness to radicals at the National Political Conventions and then to Communist Festivals in East Germany and Cuba. Sammy Tippit and I were hidden out by some Nuns in Bratislava and escaped into Austria. I had used Ezekiel 47 as my game plan starting out where I was and continuing to go out "up to my "knees and the loins and then it becoming a river."<br />
<br />
TIMES THEY WERE A CHANGING: I got home from the trip to Czechoslovakia and felt the Lord saying that I was going to die. I thought that I had finished my Ezekiel 47 journey and this was to be the end. I picked out my grave. Then one day as I was walking in the cemetery I heard that voice again and this time the word was that, yes, I was going to die, but not a physical death, but a death to myself. I heard the verse, "Except a grain of wheat fall in the ground and die, it can never reproduce." I was to die to myself and begin to "put the gospel in the hands of faithful men."<br />
<br />
So NO GREATER LOVE MINISTRIES WAS "BORN" IN 1975. I took Bud Hall with me on my first trip to Mardi Gras. The ministry continued to grow and this next Mardi Gras will be my 40th trip taking faithful men there. Many men have been touched, changed into better men, husbands, fathers and church members and others called into ministries. Our son, Shane, was called at Mardi Gras years ago and the church he pastors now runs about 1800 a weekend.<br />
<br />
I started going to Honduras in 1980 taking one man, Mike Rice, with me. I was studying under a man who had a great work there and my heart bore witness with his work. I went partly because I wanted to stay in touch with "doing the stuff" as well as leading a group of men and watching them as they "did the stuff." The ministry in Honduras grew through the years and I have led many people as we watched the Lord do a might work there in a revival like none I have ever seen before. There came a day when I realized that I was no longer "doing the stuff." I was leading a tour group. I heard the Lord say to "RELEASE IT" and see who was being called out to start their own ministries. There are now about 11 ministries working in Honduras now that came out of that mission outreach.<br />
<br />
After these 40 years of ministry at Mardi Gras, I heard the Lord say to "RELEASE IT" like I did Honduras and that He would raise up different ministries that will do more than was being done up to now. “When the Word increased, the DISCIPLES MULTIPLIED." I feel very sure of this RELEASE OF THE NGL MISSION TRIPS and this frees me to take NGL in whatever direction that He shows. I am excited about that and I am beginning to sense the "juices" flowing again. I will go down to Honduras in October to visit the Honduran men that I have invested in years past. So I am excited to see who will rise up to start their own "work" at Mardi Gras and I am so looking forward to being a "Mentor" to men I have worked with here over the years and the Honduran men I have worked with over the years and the Philippine Alumni I have maintained relations with after teaching those years at Antioch Bible Training Center in Angles City. Yes, I am excited about the future and as the "load" of the EVENTS" is lifted I will be able to enter the next phase of NGL. The ministry will continue and Abby Emling will still work for NGL part time like she does now as this is her calling from the Lord.<br />
<br />
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been with us through the years and this Men's Retreat we will be laying hands on men to go forth under the anointing of the Lord. I believe there will be a "double portion" for many men as surely as Elisha got a DOUBLE PORTION from Elijah. Let's face it, I had about 150 people in my church when I was pastoring years ago. Now, my son, Shane's church is now pushing toward having 2,000 each weekend and will go over it in the coming year. I love to walk with my son each morning as we dream together on what God is doing in his life and church. That ministry of the "Mentor" to men, is what I want to do for this next phase of life.<br />
<br />
Love ya's LOTS!<br />

<br />
CALLING ALL MEN OF GOD!!!!<br />
<br />
This is the time to recruit for the Annual Men's Retreat. We will be preparing for our <b>LAST MARDI GRAS</b> trip in February. The Mardi Gras trip will be the 40th for NGL and our final one. (The Mardi Gras trip is scheduled for Feb. 28 - March 4, 2014).<br />
<br />
The Men's Retreat (scheduled for September 27-28, 2013) will be a time of great fellowship and getting to see guys from different places that we have built relationships with through the years. Even our cars get running sluggish and need a "tune-up," this is our chance to get a "shot in the arm" to get us on track for our lives, families, churches, communities and the world.<br />
<br />
In 1973, I heard a prophecy in Kansas City, MO that has become a key ingredient in the dynamic of NGL. "SEE ME, HEAR ME AND EXPERIENCE ME IN EACH OTHER." That has become a watchword for NGL ever since and continues to be the most important point for me to this day.<br />
<br />
Bring every man you can muster as there will be enough of God to go around. It is always good to be in fellowship with men from different backgrounds, denominations, cultures and worship styles. It allows us to experience "fresh wind" by expanding our ideas of God by seeing the Lord work in ways beyond our little work a day worlds. We can all use a fresh touch from the Lord. I know that I do and am looking forward to being with all of you at the Men's Retreat! Come and bring a friend. Awe shucks, bring an enemy or two also!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Love ya's and look forward to seeing you at the <b>Annual NGL Reunion</b>!!!!<br />

Hi NGL friends,<br />
<br />
I went back to the doctor today. Possibly the places on my left lung are due to the infection with the upper respiratory problems; they will check that again in three months. My thyroid has not gotten worse. I will see the liver doctor July 9th and my sugar level is elevated. Thanks for your prayers. I am feeling better.<br />
<br />
This Friday night is our Advisory Board Meeting. We will go through the evaluations of the Indy 500 mission trip. Then we will look at some ideas for a theme for next year. We will also consider possible changes for next Mardi Gras.<br />
<br />
Love ya’s,<br />

Hi prayer friends,<br />
<br />
Leading up to events, the load seems heavy as I contact people and then hear of some of the trials they are going through. These are men that I have worked with for years and they have been so faithful to the Lord with me in NGL. I am thankful for the opportunity to hear their concerns and share mine with them. We are able to use James 5:16 as we share our concerns with each other and then pray for each other. Hey, that’s what friends do!!! <br />
<br />
So by the time each event rolls around, I feel somewhat overwhelmed and too weak to continue. Then I get to the event and see what great men the Lord has raised up through the ministry and I feel the pleasure of the Lord in such a special way. I have never left an event without realizing what a wonderful God we serve together and how happy it makes Him seeing the faithfulness of such men of God.<br />
<br />
I am still having respiratory problems and will have a ct scan tomorrow and an x-ray on my thyroid. I would appreciate your prayers in that regard. My wife has caught it also and needs your prayers.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Exodus 17:12 says, "But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun." </b></i><br />
<br />
Moses could not have done what was needed without help! I are so grateful for all that has been done to hold up the hands of the ministry. It is God's work, and He has brought you along as a necessary partner to get the work completed! I may not say it enough, but I am truly so grateful for your partnership!<br />
<br />
Thank you for giving up so much to be the hands and feet of Jesus.<br />

Love ya’s,<br />

Hi prayer friends,<br />
<br />
We are preparing for the Indy 500. I have never seen a time that so many of our “leaders” have other legitimate commitments. So this will give more men who have been with us before opportunities to move up in leadership. We will have two camps which will mean having two of everything. I am excited about having a camp at each end of the track. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Right now, we need prayer for the Lord to bring forth more men for this mission opportunity. </li>
<li>On man, from Georgia, just contacted me about his desire to be baptized at Indy. So I called Pastor Eugene at the Baptist church and he will have the baptistery up and running. I believe we will see several men desiring to be baptized. <b>Oh happy day!!!</b></li>
<li>Our Administration staff will meet tomorrow and we need your prayers as we work on staffing our two camps.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Thanks for your love, prayers and support.<br />
<br />
Love ya’s<br />
<br />

Hi Prayer Friends,<br />
<br />
The Indy 500 is coming up May 24-26 in Indianapolis. We have had many obstacles and need your prayers. Due, in part, to mechanical failures, we are behind on enlistment and need for the Lord to stir men’s hearts for this important mission.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Pray for men from the different areas of the country to be stirred and bring others with them.</li>
<li>Pray for the second camp to be secured as problems have arisen with that camp. I plan to go by to talk with them when Kent and I go to Indianapolis.</li>
<li>Pray for Claude Ogden’s wife, Marty, as Claude just passed away a few days ago. Kent Lewis and I will be going over to Indianapolis for the Memorial service. </li>
<li>Our daughter Jill, her husband Craig and our granddaughter just returned from taking Josie back to China to visit her homeland. They promised Josie that when she graduated from the eighth grade that they would take her back to visit. It was wonderful hearing their stories last night. Thank You Lord for being with them on their trip and bringing them home safely.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Love ya’s,<br />
<br />
Fred<br />
THY WILL BE DONE!<br />

<br />
Good morning!<br />
<br />
We have had computer problems at the office and couldn't send out promos for the Indy. So, I haven’t been able to get “feedback” from the different areas. Indy is tough at it’s best as many kids and more grand kids graduate about that time, but more this year due to “’SNOW DAYS.” My computer got a virus and hasn't worked for a few days with e-mail. It cost about $500.00 to get it fixed yesterday. I have been frustrated and tired and old. So I have limited my time with people that I know as I didn't have the energy to spare.<br />
<br />
Our Administration, Dave Munson, Roger Lipe, and I will meet this Friday deciding on how to put the event together using one church to host us or putting one group at a church at the other end of the track. If we have a lot of people, two locations would work well. Decisions need to be made on who will run the camps and so on.<br />
<br />
Pray for the Lord to call forth His laborers for this mission.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your prayers.<br />
<br />
Love ya’s,<br />
Fred<br />

<br />
Hi prayer friends,<br />
<br />
We are trying to prepare for the Indy 500 Outreach. We have had computer problems that wouldn't allow the promos to go out so we are running behind. Please pray for the Lord to intervene in this process as this seems to be an attack from the devil.<br />
<br />
We are wrestling with whether to have the one camp like we had last year or to have a camp at each end of the track which would allow each group to witness on their end of Georgetown Street on Saturday night and meet in the middle for a combined service.<br />
<br />
When I was a boy growing up on a farm in Southern Illinois I would listen to the Indianapolis 500 car race on the radio. I never dreamed that I would not only get to go there, but take hundreds of men through the years to share Jesus at the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”<br />
<br />
No Greater Love Ministries had 242 men at the Mardi Gras in February and the momentum has carried over with many of the men. Brent Alexander, from Christ church, organizes a group of clowns to go over and share Jesus at the St. Patrick’s Day parade in St. Louis. Max Vick continues to lead weekend groups sharing Jesus at events in Tennessee. The Okies are in Honduras concentrating mainly on San Pedro Sula. Sarge and Sue are preparing to return to Vietnam. Marvin and Karen Steinke continue to take groups to Honduras. Sylvia continues to take groups to Honduras. I am so proud of all the ones who have gone out from NGL.<br />
<br />
It continues to be my prayer for the Lord to use each NGL event to “promote” men into His purposes throughout the world, the church and in each family. God honors faithfulness.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your prayers and support,<br />
<br />
Love ya’s<br />
<br />

CALLING ALL MEN OF GOD!!!!!<br />
<br />
It is time to “Rev up your engines” and come with us to the Indy 500, May 24-26. God needs you to come to the Indy this year and to enlist all the men you can to come with you. This year our theme is “How to Keep on Track”. Let’s pray for each other to become all God would have us to become for Him, our families, our churches and our world. I am so thankful for you and your dedication to the Lord and His work through No Greater Love.<br />
<br />
The Bible says, “The fields are white unto harvest, but the laborers are few.” It is our goal to provide opportunities for men to hear the call of God. We will share the basics of the Christian life and help each man realize he can go with Jesus to any country in the world using our principles and methods. Many ministries have risen out of NGL. How will you ever know just how high and far you can fly if you never stretch your wings and get a fresh vision from the Lord.<br />
<br />
People are confused, hopeless and upset about all that is going on today. One can always find God at "WITS END CORNER!" What better time to share JESUS CHRIST as the only hope. This is the easiest day to share Jesus that we have ever had. So let's suit up and go for it!<br />
<br />
Round up all the guys you can and meet us at the Indy 500. It will be a big help if you can get everyone to register on line at (www.nogreaterlove.org) If that’s not possible you may print the application and mail them to Dave Munson as soon as possible. Pre-registration is very important and helps make our event run much smoother. Please use the attached flyer to recruit other men!<br />
<br />
Thanks for your participation and help.<br />
<br />
Because He cares, we go!<br />
<br />

Hi prayer friends,<br />
<br />
Jan and I went out to Rapid City, SD to attend our son in law, Craig’s, retirement ceremony from the Air Force. It was really special and we are proud of his years of service in the military and his medical mission trips to Liberia. Now Jill, Craig and Josie will be staying with us until the 20th when they will take Josie on a trip to visit China for 19 days. She is so excited to get to visit her homeland.<br />
<br />
I need prayer today to get the “ball” rolling for the enlistment for the Indy 500. I have a call in for a second place to house the men for the event. I am waiting for a response. I am asking for “favor” with the pastor and church IF THAT WOULD BE GOD’S WILL. Join with me on that please.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>· Pray for the Lord to stir up laborers for His kingdom work with us at the Indy 500.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>· Pray for the Lord to call forth men from this mission for His purposes.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>· Pray for favor with the police and with the crowds.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>· Pray for the Holy Spirit to come down mightily and that we receive all that we are willing to give Him room to work in our lives.</b><br />
<br />
Thanks and have a blessed day!!<br />
<br />
Love ya’s,<br />
Fred<br />
<br />
Hebrews 10:25 Is my verse for the day! I am going to especially look throughout the day for people I might be able to encourage, especially strangers. It made me smile just thinking about it!!!!<br />

Hi prayer friends,<br />
<br />
Thanks for your prayers for the “Hands of Hope” team led by Troy Benitone in Liberia, Africa. The first group has arrived home and the second group is in full swing there now. <br />
<br />
1. Be in prayer today and tomorrow at 3 pm our time for the Crusade Meetings to start<br />
<br />
2. Be in prayer today and tomorrow at 5 pm our time for the invitations at the Crusade.<br />
<br />
3. Be in prayer at midnight our time for the all night training sessions for those accepting Christ at the Crusade and then for the Baptismal service for all those accepting Christ and going through the all night training session.<br />
<br />
4. Pray for the new churches to be formed.<br />
<br />
5. Be in prayer for those of the team who have had diarrhea and vomiting.<br />
<br />
6. As the work has continued from one year to another in the work there, God has blessed victory on victory, but the devil has taken notice and new levels of anointing are needed for these new levels of evangelism. Pray for the team to grow in their relationship with the Lord to counter the opposition. (Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.)<br />
<br />
God is good!<br />
<br />
In His service,<br />

Hi prayer friends,<br />
<br />
Prayer is urgently needed for the Hands of Hope team in Liberia, Africa. The first group just returned home last night. The second group just got down to Liberia.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
