One evening while Ed was in New Zealand, after he had finished ministering to the scheduled group, he was asked to minister to a handful of young people. The next day Ed was asked again to minister to another group of young college-aged people, and what started out at just four or five quickly became 65 or more. We lost count!
The testimonial feedback to Ed is best characterized as astonishment, not only about the words spoken and the accuracy of those words, but also about his stamina to minister to one person after another, after another.
During his trip in Australia, Ed (along with Apostle Pat Sparrow) had the privilege to minister to the Australian and New Zealand national leadership team for a global network of churches; a group of about 30 people.
Feedback from a few of those persons included comments about the freedom, joy and unity Ed and Pat shared in ministering together and how those watching had never seen two people minister in this way before.
