Grafted-In Ministries Asks:
Will Their Blood Be Demanded At Our Hands?
Grafted-In Ministries, run by two Seventh-day
Adventists, Bill and Jo Kuhlmeyer, have a
multiply-pronged support ministry in place. It is
designed to assist and empower the believer "to bloom
wherever he/she is planted."
Bill and Jo have been believers in the Seventh-day
Sabbath since 1978 -- which is when they discovered that,
contrary to the teachings of men, the commandments of
GOD never change. They have built an exhaustive
research center on the internet at
http://www.graftedin2Torah.org , where historical
documents (particularizing the abrogation of GOD'S law
by the Roman church/state) are available for
downloading. Studies, detailing the subtle changes to
the teachings of the Apostles and early followers of
"The Way," show that what we are calling "the church"
today bears no true resemblance to our Messiah's design.
In addition, following the Hebraic model (in which an
intense study of the Scriptures is the highest form of
worship), the Kuhlmeyers have opened their home in
scenic Port Angeles, Washington, on the third weekend of
every month for an intense weekend "retreat" known as a
"Beit Midrash." "Sola Scriptura" is the rule, while food
and sleeping accommodations are provided "potluck"
family style. There is no charge at all for the
weekend -- although, donations would be gratefully
accepted.
After a full weekend retreat, feasting on the Word with
other believers (from various Sabbatarian
denominations), brethren return to their own churches
invigorated, renewed and ready to serve the BODY: they
then empower other believers (to be doers of the Word
and not hearers only) by giving them a living example of
the Messiah working in them. These active fellowships
are a lot -- but they are not all. Besides this direct
interaction, those who live in locations isolated from
other believers are encouraged and uplifted by any one
of 3 e-mail Berean study forums that Bill and Jo run on
the internet.
You can access the first of these through your e-mail by
typing, within the text area, the address to which you
will be sending:
subscribe Feasts@onelist.com
This will subscribe you to a Berean study forum, where
you can examine the validity of the Biblical Shabbats.
Typing the following address in your text area
subscribe Graftedin2Torah@onelist.com
subscribes you to another Berean study forum. This one
is for all those other issues that
denominationalism seems to have taken control
over. Ongoing discussions range from "Methods of
Worship" and "Is Davidic Dance Biblical?" to "What are
our stewardship obligations regarding the Tithe?", etc.
To add to these, Ladies can access a special e-mail
forum for them. They can do this in the same way -- by
typing in the address
subscribe Messianicsisterhood@onelist.com
This forum is "only for women" who desire to discuss
those issues distinguishing a "Biblical Woman."
Members of the forums live in areas such as rural North
America, Japan, Tasmania, Korea and China. They are
primarily Seventh-day Adventists, Church Of God,
Worldwide Church Of God, Messianic Israelites and
Messianic Jews. Truly all members of the BODY must come
to SERVE and nourish the whole BODY if we are to become
strong enough to ward off the attacks from without.
Bill and Jo Kuhlmeyer can be reached at Grafted-In
Ministries, 1459 View Vista Park, Port Angeles, WA,
98362. < graftedin@saintmail.net >
is the e-mail address.
We happily welcome Grafted-In Ministries to our
fellowship and pray that the Eternal will bless Bill
and Jo's efforts to educate His begotten Children -- as
we all continue to learn, grow, and teach each other
the Truth of His Way.
