Wings of Business in Reedsport
Reedsport Foursquare will be hosting a Wings of Business Seminar with Dr. Ron and Mariette Kussmaul next Friday through Sunday, June 21-23. Dr. Kussmaul has taught at the church several times in the last few years. For most of the past 35 years, his teaching ministry was concentrated in southern and central Africa with extended tours to Europe and the US.
In 1997 Dr. Kussmaul heard the Lord saying, "Teach my people Biblical principles of finance from my Word." He was also told there was a worldwide recession coming upon the earth and to get his people out of debt preparing them for the future. Wings of Business was birthed from this word and has been taught all over Africa, Europe and now the United States.
Wings of Business is built upon the Ancient Wisdom of the Word of God to teach and guide people into a daily walk of excellence in business and life. These Higher Spiritual Laws of God's Word enable people to rise up and separate themselves from the bondage of debt and develop into the entrepreneurs needed for this hour. Sessions include Debt Destruction, Wealth Creation, and proven principles of launching your own business.
Reedsport Foursquare is located at 2900 Frontage Rd in Reedsport. Services and teaching sessions with Dr. Kussmaul and his wife, Mariette, (an accomplished entrepreneur and author), will be Friday (21st) at 7:00; Saturday (22nd) at 9:30 & 6:30; and Sunday (23rd) at 10:00 and 6:30. For more information call 541-271-4414 or go to the Kussmaul's site
