A message from Jeff and Esther Glaesman...

Personal Testimony of Jeff Glaesman

I was saved on October 3, 1993 after being a member of Temple Baptist Church in El Dorado, KS for over 20 years. My pastor preached a message on the lost coins and how sometimes a pastor needs to “sweep” the church for the lost there. I knew that I was one of those lost coins and accepted Christ as my Savior that day. Since then I have served as deacon and helped in the children and music ministries.

After several years of part-time maintenance and renovation work on my home church, I was introduced to the building ministry by helping with the construction of a baby church in Wichita. The Lord soon burdened my heart to work full-time in the building ministry in order to help churches expand with more souls being saved and more missionaries being sent out. During our 2003 Missions Conference my wife and I surrendered to full-time service. I have been on the road since May of 2004 building churches and serving the Lord in whatever area is needed. It is such a blessing to be able to help others, witness church growth, and souls being saved.

Personal Testimony of Esther Glaesman

I have lived in rural Kansas all of my life. My family attended the local Methodist Church until the preacher declared that the Bible was a book of fairy tales. When I was ten years old my parents searched for a church that believed and preached the Word of God even if that meant driving many miles. Temple Baptist Church in El Dorado has been my church home since 1970. I accepted Christ as Savior at the age of 16. It was at church that I met my husband, Jeff, and where we were married in 1978. I have been active in various children's, ladies, and music ministries over the years.

In our 2003 Missions Conference the Lord gave me the same burden he had previously given my husband to help build Bible preaching churches across the United States. In early 2007 I will join him full-time as we endeavor to encourage believers and help build Bible preaching Baptist churches, enabling more people to have the opportunity to hear the gospel and be saved.

                                                                                                           

Letter From Our Pastor

Dear Pastor,

Temple Baptist Church is excited to send Bro. Jeff Glaesman and his wife, Esther, as our representatives with Cornerstone Baptist Builders. This fine couple has proven to be faithful in service in this local church. They are very dependable and I know will get the job done wherever they go.

Bro. Jeff has been a leader at Temple Baptist Church for many years. Having grown up in the area he has served faithfully in many different aspects of the church. One area in particular that he is very gifted in is construction and maintenance. Bro. Jeff over the years has probably saved Temple Baptist Church $200,000.00 in labor on special projects in which he personally participated and supervised. We hate to lose him and his wife but understand God’s leadership in this matter. I believe Jeff has truly been given this ability by the Lord. According to Scripture this is exactly what God did in Exodus 31 with Bezaleel.

As Bro. Jeff and Esther embark on this new and exciting ministry adventure I pray that you will consider them for support. They will make a fine team in their effort to build up God’s work in America. I am sure they will be a blessing to you and your people. Please pray for them and encourage them as they go on their way.

Thank you for considering Jeff and Esther Glaesman as co-laborers in the field of God’s harvest.

Because of Him,

Pastor Ron K. Jones
