2.3 Who Was Franklin Small?

[Brandon]

The first thing I think, no matter what struggles, hardships or hurdles persistence in following Christ and His calling brings much fruit. If at varying times in his life he would have stopped because of differences or struggles the following move/outpouring would have been missed. I see the same in my own life, and where there can seem to be so many reasons to stop moving forward with His call it because of perseverance and hope that fruit has been harvested.

There are so many crossroads where I see God's fingerprints. From the small everyday sustaining encounters to the major life altering milestones.

I AM CERTAIN and look forward to seeing His continuing work unfold in my life and what unimaginable things will sprout from it.

[Allan]

That no matter what we weaknesses we personally have. God will and does what needs to be done through our life no matter what personality flaws or character issues. Gods kingdom will be revealed..

I have seen the amazing power of God displayed through broken jars of clay again and again.

[Caleb]

As I look at all the changes in Frank Small’s life and ministry, I can see that God was at work through every step including the mistakes and disagreements. Hearing his story of so many changes in his ministry, It gives me comfort knowing that no matter what changes happen in life I can be assured that God is faithful. he will guide me through every storm and work every step to his great plan including the messes in my life. God is forever changing me and growing me to his will with every experience in life, and I can have peace in him.

[Micah]

One of the places that I see the fingerprints of God in my life is in my family’s redemption before I was born. Though I have not seen first hand 180-degree redemption in my life (more so many small redemptions), my parents both came from very broken homes, and now I get to stand as a product of God’s grace and redemption in their lives and I get to be a witness of that redemption.
