How did Les, a layman with no formal education or church backing, get a television ministry?
It came about as something that simply unfolded in God's own sovereign grace. There was no formal education, no large church congregation, and no underwriter behind it. He never dreamed it would reach television, yet the Lord has used and blessed it, and funds were provided without asking.
Les explains that two people from different areas of the country suddenly realized he was just a layman with no formal education, no big church congregation behind him, and no one underwriting the program. They asked how a layman ever got such a television ministry. He replied that if they could tell him, then they would both know, because it was something that sort of unfolded in God's own sovereign grace. He never dreamed it would come to this, but the Lord is using it and blessing it. He also notes the ministry has never been in the red, they never asked for money and he never will, and if the funds dry up, so does the program.
