Father's Hand Ministries

This is to affirm that I have known Neil Gamble and his wife Dana for sometime. They are absolutely precious gifts of God. Both of them have gone to many places in India and conducted seminars on Saturation church planting. In these seminars, participants have not only learnt about church planting but have come back filled with the zeal of the Lord. Their teaching is biblically based and inspired by the Holy Spirit. In my opinion they are best teachers in the world on these subjects and I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who is interested in seeing God's kingdom grow and multiply. They are also very good at removing the spots and wrinkles from the Bride, if you already have a good church planting program going.

Shalom,

Dear Family in Christ,

Praise be to God for chosing Neil and Dana to be His mighty instruments in order to bring revival in souls and renewal in minds in these last days. They have penetrating messages that challenge the Christians in their walk with God. Their teaching is not regarding merely knowing about God but knowing God intimately. When I heard Neil, what blessed my heart is his personal walk and experience with Christ. My own life was greatly challenged. I have seen that it is easy to teach but difficult to experience what we teach. However, these both are blend together in their ministry. May the Lord continue to reap great harvest as they move from nation to nation!

With you in HIS service,

Neil and Dana Gamble have had a remarkable ministry in many countries bringing believers, including leaders, into a more intimate relationship with God. Their view of discipling is urgently needed, to correct the common error of teaching abstract doctrine without bringing disciples into life-changing, intimate relationship with God. They do not neglect biblical teaching but balance it with an intimacy with God that is born of the Holy Spirit.

To the body of Christ at large;
Greetings to those who are pursuing a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus and seeking to live it out amongst those in your sphere of influence. I want to commend to you the life and message of Neil and Dana Gamble and their work here in the United States and abroad. One thought with that, when you see the oxen working, provide them with the food and shelter necessary to sustain life! Grateful for theirs and your partnership in the Kingdom advance.

Neil and Dana Gamble of Father’s Hand Ministries have worked with us, YWAM Perth, in both India and South Africa. They have run seminars in these countries for local pastors and missionary students. The Gamble’s teaching is both biblically based and relevant to today’s church planting needs. They look at discipleship through the model Jesus lived out, and they themselves model it through their lives not just their teaching. The seminars/teaching target pastors and leaders which lead to a multiplication of the topics covered. Many pastors and leaders are themselves challenged in the ministries they are involved in and how they disciple others. The teaching is meant to spread beyond the audience that attends and has been successful in doing so. Many of the pastors that attend quickly realize the need to see the Gamble’s return at a later date and continue to help in the discipleship process. We highly recommend Father’s Hand Ministries and what they can offer ministries and churches. They are gifted and anointed by God to teach and multiply that what is happening on the earth in the area of church growth and discipleship.
Blessings.

Pastor or ministry director;
This recommendation is just a thank you to Neil Gamble for His ministry in Indonesia this last two years. Neil has been teaching to about 350 Christian leaders in five different cities in Indonesia and he has really helped us to understand the principle of church planting movement by teaching about discipleship, intimacy with God and hearing God’s voice. Neil no only teaches about God’s power but he also shows us what is the power of God and brings the presence of God into our midst. I would recommend Neil and his teaching, mentoring on discipleship and church planting and intimacy to anyone. He has helped us in Indonesia and I do pray that Neil can help other counties and ministries as well.

Dear Pastor,
May the Love of God flood your heart by the Holy Spirit given to you! We invited Neil and Dana Gamble To India and introduced them to many ministries. God does not share his glory with anyone so if you want to keep God's Glory for yourself they are not the ones to invite. If you cannot attend the meetings and the teachings with your staff or church don't invite them. If you are set on producing a ministry involving a wheel where your denomination or yourself are at the center and you are the main drive shaft with spokes going out to the daughter churches and maybe you can become the Bishop or someone of great importance someday they will not add to your ministry. If on the other hand you want to lead by serving your people so they become greater and greater and you become less and less because Jesus is coming alive and growing in them to reach the world around them Neil and Dana are a great choice. If you want to break with tradition, get back to Biblical Christianity, have a Pentecost where the power of God comes down heals the sick, raises the dead, and equips the saints to take their inheritance as sons and daughters of God and cover the land with house churches or groups planted by daughter churches mostly through signs and wonders we recommended Neil and Dana. Here is one of many testimonies. We were with K.M. John in Warangle District of A.P. 2 months after their seminar and heard the testimonies. I recall 20 new house churches had formed. 47 major miracles had occurred through the lay men and women. The key that impressed me was every one felt it there job and privilege to disciple others. The lay people actually believed and practiced the fact that the Lord lived in them and they were kings and priest in this present world and that they had inherited the earth. [Ps 2:8] They were collecting their inheritance as children of God. It was not just the paid staffs job to minister. Saying all this if you do not want to grow yourself they are the wrong selection but if you want to go from glory to glory bring them on. You will get the vine principle where every branch roots where its branches hit the ground and bears fruit sending out new branches to repeat the process. When one looks over the field that has vines everywhere no superstars stand out and that may be hard on our egos. Think through on whether you want a "big wheel" ministry or a vine. It is to late to choose after they leave.

Neil & Dana,
I just had to take the time out to bless you both and to say thanks! I thank God for allowing you to come into the life of Harvest Fire Worship Center and more so mine. This is a time for me in which I am just not satisfied with where I am in God. I shared with you both how busy I have been doing the "right" things but still feel so unfulfilled and hungry for deeper depths and higher heights in God. You have messed me up so badly but I THANK YOU AND THANK GOD even more. Today while I was at lunch, I saw a gentleman entered the restaurant and I was so compelled to tell him that Jesus loves him. He ate so fast and was heading out of there in a jiffy and then the Lord stopped him to order a coleslaw. I got up from my seat and went straight to the cash register where he was standing and told him that Jesus loves him. Can you believe he walked back to the table with me and told me how much he needed to hear that because his Mom was doing open heart surgery as we speak? I got a chance to pray for him and his Mom. For the first time in a long while I feel as if I am beginning to know God! My heart is full of so much gratitude to God for bringing you both to share with us and to you for walking in obedience. Be reassured that your labor is not in vain in the Lord! Thanks again and I LOVE you both!

Neil Gamble has been a tremendous blessing to us in Frontier Missions. His teaching on discipleship and hearing God's voice on a daily basis is having a profound impact on our leaders and church planters. Neil's teaching is accompanied by lot 's of practical demonstrations. He is clearly walking in the power of the Holy Spirit and I can highly recommend this man of God!

Dear brother or sister in Christ,
We would like to recommend to you Brother Neil who has been to us a real inspiration and blessing. he has a prophetic message for the church of Christ and certainly for us in the business of church planting. At the time he first came too visit us we did not know a lot about Him or His previous ministry record all we know is that when he spoke our spirits bore witness that he had been sent of God. His word brought us nearer to the Lord and increased our intimacy with Him. This fruit speaks for the tree as being wise and from the Lord. This last season of travel, He was a mentor and discipler at a grassroots training that we had for very simple church planters. He persevered despite very simple living conditions and diet and being unable to always understand what was being said since we were not able to provide adequate translation. The school was still tremendously blessed and encouraged to hear from the Lord. They stepped out in faith in this area of hearing from God and discovered life changing lessons. His anointing is definitely in the area of the Holy Spirit, Intimacy with the Lord, and making disciples. My husband and myself have also been personally encouraged through His mentoring in these areas.
Blessings,

Thank you for the time, prayer, investment and sacrifice given but particularly for your belief that if we work together to put our piece into God’s plan that God, from the combined effort, brings anointing for his glory and city transformation. I’m grateful for your support… and equally appreciative of your friendship.
Blessings,
Shirley.

IT WAS REALLY GREAT HAVING YOU GUYS COME TO US AND MINISTER THE WORD OF GOD. YOU HAVE IMPARTED SOME THINGS WHICH YOU MOST DEFINITELY NEED TO COME BACK TO INCREASE AND IMPART MORE.

" For those who have never met Brother Neil Gamble, I would like to say something about him. He is a man who hears God's voice and walk accordingly and an excellent discipler in the ways of Christ. He has impacted my life in the way of God in a short time together with him. I wish you too would get an opportunity to meet him and experience the valuable input which he has for our personal spiritual life & the ministry which God has entrusted us"

Blessings.

If you really want to know how to bring the World to experience the ‘love of the Father’ and even for you to experience the same, then I highly recommend you to spend time with Neil and Dana Gamble. They brought freedom and intimacy with Jesus into the lives of my Indian friends and also into my own life.

Dear Neil and Dana,
May the Love of God flood your heart by the Holy Spirit given you!
……………….. …… We love and appreciate you very much; God has launched you into a fantastic ministry. Wherever you go, people get filled with the Holy Spirit, and are able to do the ministry. I have often wondered why so many of our Spirit-filled Christians still do not do great exploits. I simply cannot answer that question to this day, but I do see wherever people are trained, envisioned, and energized through your ministry, they do ministries all out of proportion to who they are or once were before they got filled with the Holy Spirit.
………………..we love you very much, and know God is moving you onto greater and greater exploits.

God Bless you,
Gene Davis
