The Lord called Brenda DeMarco to the ministry through the Master's Touch Ministry by Apostle Tammy in May of 1999. She was ordained an Evangelist on March 5, 2000. She asked the Lord what the name of the ministry she was to have would be. Shortly thereafter, Scott came in and was cleaning fish. The Lord spoke to her and said...."You catch 'em and He'll clean 'em." Thus the name of the ministry that has reached thousands thus far in such a short time.

The Fishers of Men Ministry was officially licensed by the State of South Carolina on June 1, 2000. Gail Wilkins joined the ministry in late July of 2000 upon the request of Evangelist Brenda with the intentions of being the webmaster. She was ordained into the ministry on September 17th, 2000 as the Elder and continues to let the Lord lead her in the site construction. Judy Convertino joined the ministry in February of 2001 as the Secretary and Treasurer and has been ordained as an officer. She does a wonderful job dealing with Uncle Sam for the non-profit organization.

The Ministry has been so very blessed. We support three missionaries from India on a monthly basis. We have fed the poor and paid rent for the homeless. We have a prayer line open at all times and Counselors ready on request. Many wonderful contributing artists, such as Amy Russell, Pastor Manuel Jiminez, and Rev. Dr. Daniel Karthi Keyan, contribute on a regular basis. The ministry went on line on December 17th, 2000. As of Aug 20, 2001 we had 11,145 visitors. What an awesome God we serve!! He ordained the Ministry and the Founder...He has led us and guided us and we give Him all the glory and honor. Praise your Holy Name Lord Jesus.

This all started with two prophecies (or visions) the Lord gave Evangelist Brenda. We would like to share these with you with the hopes and prayers that if the Lord has called any of you to the Ministry to please heed His call.

The First Vision Recognize My Hand Surely I called you and led you by the hand and have brought you through a rough and stormy way. You can look ahead and see the rolling pastures and a good and pleasant land. Know that My joy is for you, and I am with you in the place of blessings. How often I have assured you that there would be a reward for your faithfulness. You are now at a place where you can already lift up your eyes and look upon it. I have prepared this for you, and I have stood beside you through the times of endurance, and I have smiled, knowing what was in store for you. I have urged you on when you would have given up, because I would not allow you to fail. Love Me more than ever. RECOGNIZE MY HAND in this. It is truly a divine appointment. You can accept it knowing I will be in it. Yes, I will bless and multiply it far beyond what you can see now. Have no fear. Your work is My work, and I am well able to take care of every aspect. 2 Sam. 22:20 The Second Vision Anticipate Surprises Oh My daughter, be obedient. I have purposes for you. Lo, I say, I have purposes... I have a Ministry for you. Look not to any man to open this door. I, myself, open the doors to the places of services which I have in mind for My children. I not only open doors, but more often than otherwise, I CREATE the place of service, and, as it were, plant a new tree in virgin soil. I do not need in any way an already existant plan...I make My own plans, and in order to reach the souls for whom I am concerned, I lead in new paths and down unpaved roads. One Bible example of this is the account of Philip and his witness to the eunuch crossing the desert. (Acts 8:26) Another is the ministry that was opened by the women of Samaria as she became suddenly a missionary to her own towns-people. (John 4:28,29) Be prepared for the unexpected, and anticipate surprises if you deign to follow Me. To change the figure, keep your eye on the baton. I may introduce a sudden change not written in the score... a rest, a hold, a crescendo not indicated in the music.

THE MINISTRY PRAYER Father God, Help me to be faithful in little things like cleaning nets, knowing that they could be your way of preparing me for greater things-like fishing for men. Help me to obey simply and solely "Because You say so." And keep me from thinking that since I have fished a few waters that somehow I know better than You the course my life should take and the place my nets should be dropped. Call me, Lord, out from a shallow faith near the shore, which requires no risk and offers no rewards. Call me to a deeper commitment to You. And when You call, grant that I would be quick in my boat, swift to my oars, and fast with my nets. And I pray, grant me the eyes to see who it is who labors by my side- an awesome and almighty God. Take me to a place where I have worked hard by my own strength and yet ended up with empty nets. Take me there to show me the depths of Your dominion and the net-breaking fullness of Your Power. Keep me ever aware that You are Lord and ever aware that I am a sinful person. And in that knowledge, keep me ever on my knees before You. At your bidding, O Master, I will let down my nets. And at Your bidding I will leave them forever behind. For what You have to offer is infinitely more than all the seas of this world ever could... In Jesus' Name I pray this prayer. Amen.

Poem Dedicated to Brenda for her 44th Birthday From Marlene
What Can I Do?
There are so many problems in the world. What can I do to make things better? I cannot change the world, I cannot fix all the wrongs, sometimes I cannot even fix what is wrong with me. What can I do?
There are so many things wrong with the church. What can I do to make it better? I cannot fix the leaders, I cannot change the heart of anyone other than me, I do not always know what I need to do to fix me. What can I do?
What can I do? I can pray. I can pray for the world, for the church, and pray that God will be glorified and honored in both. I can pray that God will be seen in me so that others will want to follow Him. I can pray for strength to live in such a way as to lead others to Him.
What can I do? I can live what I profess. I can demonstrate that I have been changed. I can share the love and mercy God has shown me with those around me who need love and mercy. I can show everyone I meet that the Spirit of Christ dwells in.
What can I do? I cannot change it all or do it all. But, I can let God change me. Once He changes me, who know what all I can do? He knows. Copyright (c) 2001, Tom Norvell

HEAVEN ON-LINE

There's a land where I go when I need to share
that's not on a map, yet exists everywhere.
A land of names without faces, a curious place.
A modern creation that's called cyberspace.
There's all creation of people with cute little names
Like Pookie, and Sandman and Rosebud and Flames.
Some are just snobs and some are real fun.
And some of them just want to find someone.
But both good and bad they all play a role.
Still each one unique, but part of the whole.
We talk and laugh and wonder why.
We flirt and we hug and sometimes we cry.
We can't be heard and can't be seen.
Yet, there it is, right on our screen.
But all in all the most curious part
Is the power it has to open our heart.
To share with a stranger those things we've concealed.
Which to our closest of friends we'd never reveal.
Our deepest regrets and most troubling fears.
The scars in our life which bring us to tears.
What gives them the power to reach into me
and show me the truths that I never see.
How do they manage to open my eyes
And make me confess the deceit and the lies.
I don't understand this magical spell,
But I know that without it my life would be hell.
This must have been planned by the Creator up above,
Cause there's no place on earth where you'll find as much love.
When I need direction I know I can find
those angels from heaven just waiting online.

WORD OF PROPHECY BY SISTER DOROTHY Sent To Evangelist Brenda

Praise the Lord: How are you this morning, I'm so happy you went to the Lord's website and glad the Lord spoke to you. Jesus gave me that Prophecy when he showed me many fish in the water, also I was catching fish of many sizes and colors.

There was also a stingray big and beautiful with many colors in it. Jesus will show you what he want you to do. In other words we catch the people and Jesus will clean them up, clean up their lives, show them and teach them. We are his vessels as he uses us she shows us what he want us to do.

You the Lord has great plans for you, as he said I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jesus has drawn you with his SPIRIT. Doors will be open to you, things you have asked the Lord for, people you have been praying for you will see them come to Jesus. Restoration to your finances, restoration of family members, people you have not seen you have spoken to about Jesus, they have not turned their ears, they have heard the words you have spoken to them. They act like they don't want to hear but, the word was given to them now they are accountable.

Standfast the Lord will do just what he promised you, he will bring forth every promise. Be of good courage and fear not, remember Jesus said touch not mine anointed and do my PROPHET no harm, people better beware of what they are saying and doing.
