About
What are you saying “yes” to? M-E-D-I-O-C-R-I-T-Y! At a time of inability to sleep, by His Spirit, this word God spoke to me as I sat on our couch wide awake at 3:00am. Has this ever happened to you? Our loving Savior waking you up, so He can speak deep into your life! I keep hearing, “This is not all there is.” He faithfully reminds me there is more…much more!
Much More Ministries exists to encourage and inspire you to experience much more of Him, and to serve as a speaker for your special event. Much More Ministries is committed to lifting up Christ and helping His Kingdom to come in each life—life as God intends.
While We Wait provides an opportunity for you to interact with us on a monthly basis as we share encouragement and inspirational thoughts as you travel on the narrow road.
“God’s love is immeasurable and He desires to be in relationship with us!”
