Testimonials "Thank you for your excellent presentation. It was challenging, insightful and very empowering. As we move into a new season of our small groups, this material will be very helpful. Thanks for giving of yourself so much." Pastor, Campbell, CA (11/96)
"Thank you so much for sending us your study on developing community. After reading through the material, we were able to come up with some ideas to help us. It is an excellent study, and once you have it in print I hope to see it used both in our church and here at the seminary." President, Side-by-Side, Denver Seminary
"Dick, I thank God for who you are, your vulnerability, your honesty, your commitment to the Scripture, and your willingness to invest in us." T.O. (4/89)
"Dick Wulf has been an incredible help to our ministry team over the past two years, helping us understand each other better and work together with greater harmony and effectiveness. The Satanic attack our team experiences as we penetrate parts of the world where the enemy has long been in control sometimes creates a lot of pressure in our midst. Dick has helped us learn how to stand together against the enemy, rather than becoming divided and defeated. His ministry is contributing directly to the world being reached." Director of an outreach ministry to the then-closed world (9/86)
"I wanted to write you and thank you for addressing our group on the weekend. The content of the information you shared is truly enlightening as well as challenging. As I have reviewed the booklet in the past two days after the presentation, I have been particularly impressed with the clarity of the model. "I thought we had a decent handle on small groups but am convinced that the information you shared will radically transform the groups we have and help with the prototyping of all new groups in the future. We certainly use the "leadership of individuals" in a group model. While I have seen the futility of this approach, especially on the health of our group leaders, I really never had a model to supersede it. Your group model is the key to success. "Another part of this presentation that was invaluable was the idea of keeping the purpose clearly in view at all times. In an age where mission statements are the buzz, I think you gave the most concise way to write one I have heard or read. I am even now working through purpose statements with all my groups. 1) Church staff 2) School staff 3) Leadership group 4) Men's prayer group 5) worship team 6) family 7) Accountability Group 8) Children's Ministry 9) Large Sunday Celebration Group. "Another aspect of the workshop that was helpful to me was really seeing the team approach. While I have somehow always operated as a coach instead of just a mutual member, I did not pass on this model. I just baptized a bunch of Jr. Pastors to do my job instead of delegating the work to the church. "I do expect this information as we process it over the next season of our church's life to really help us stay focused on the Lord's mission. I thank you for serving us and bringing this much needed message to our fellowship and the others you serve. "In closing, I would like to encourage you about the presentation itself. First, I felt your communication style is very easy to listen to and very clear. I enjoyed listening to you and felt as if I could have listened endlessly to your content and illustrations. You kept my attention constantly. Secondly, your credibility to the subject material was instantly established. My people were persuaded immediately to want to move in this direction of group leadership. Lastly, the content was phenomenal. While it may have rocked a few boats or paradigms along the way, I believe that the message is as solid biblically and sociologically as can be. Being a type of sociologist myself, I have seen the power of the group to help others. I believe that is why our church has experienced its modicum of success. "Thanks for coming. I think the church needs to hear this message. We need your insight and gifting to help round out the models we are currently using." Pastor, San Jose, CA (11/96) "Now that we are some months from the seminar, I see even more value in it. Our people who attended really got a lot of the concepts. I hear people often commenting, 'It's like Dick Wulf said. . . . ' " Same San Jose Pastor, six months later (5/97)
"I have benefited much from your perceptive insights into understanding God's design and special plan for each person." P.B., Leoti, KS
"A thousand thanks for your day with us this past weekend at our 'Spring Fling' at Golden Bell Ranch. Your two messages were received very well by our group all across the board and I believe they will be a catalyst for (1) further momentum in relationship building within the group, and (2) our new small groups which we are starting this month.... Your role in moving the group ahead was very significant!" Singles Retreat, Denver Church (1987)
"Terry wanted you to know that he had each one of his seniors buy your book Find Yourself - Give Yourself (150 copies) as part of their reading for next semester. Too bad it is not printed in Chinese." Christ's College, Taiwan (1985)
"My pastor husband and I attended the conference you led for President's Day at Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa.... It was encouraging to hear your in-depth sharing and vulnerability. The day was a real blessing!" R.W. (1986)
"Thanks so much for being our speaker for the South Fellowship Mens' Retreat. Your words on the Togethers of Scripture were so timely for us as a church and as a men's ministry." Men's Retreat, Denver Church (3/97)
"You gave us a lot of information that will help shape some of the aspects of our fellowship. Thanks for being so open with us. Even though I didn't have a chance to speak with you during the weekend, I feel like I know you. Personally, I admire your courage; you must be a great dad!" Career Fellowship, South Evangelical Presbyterian Fellowship, Denver (1987)
