OVER 4,401,262 PEOPLE PRAYED TO RECEIVE CHRIST IN OUR CRUSADES!
GLORY, ALL GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY!
KELLY BLOMDAHL, CEO of Blomdahl Financial Services in Arlington, Texas said, “ I have known Leroy and Ann Hassler since 1977 and have personally watched his ministry grow from nearly nothing to what it is today, one of the most phenomenally successful soul winning ministries in the world. I was at a Baptist church in Coppell, Texas in 2006 where the altar was full of weeping, repenting people after Leroy gave the invitation when he preached a God-honoring message. In about 1995 he came and spoke to a Sunday school class I taught to teenagers. When he finished people were in tears and 5 people got saved out of about 20 older teenagers who were there that day. I heard him preach at First Baptist in Euless, Texas in the 1980’s. God’s hand and power is obviously on his life and his wife’s also. He preaches just as hard in a small church as a big church. When the Hasslers lived in our Dallas-Fort Worth area Leroy knocked on 34 doors one afternoon in the rain and witnessed to people for Christ! Leroy was dripping wet when he finished! He is a man with a heavy burden for souls and a "do not quit" attitude. The brother of a well-known professional football player said, ‘When Leroy witnessed to him, it seemed like God’s hand was holding him against a wall and he could not even move until Leroy finished telling him about Christ!’ This man had always been able to turn his back and walk away when others tried to tell him about Jesus.”
“When Leroy announced that God had placed it on his heart to reach 2 million people for Christ in 1994, a well known and highly respected Christian leader told him, ‘You never can do that and you cannot get the money to do that!’ Leroy respectfully listened but kept his faith in the living God who has all power and resources to do what ever is in His will! You cannot discourage a God called God anointed man like Brother Hassler. Leroy heard from God and set his entire being to getting on with reaching people for Christ! What the man did not know is that Leroy spent 6 months or more weeping daily and praying for God to use him to reach the lost! The man who said he could not do it or get the money later changed his mind and started financially supporting Hassler Evangelistic Ministries. Hassler Ministries has also helped start over 358 new churches! That is no minor achievement. Leroy takes no credit for anything but gives credit and Glory to God at every opportunity publicly and privately!”
