Looking Back at 2017
John Haeffele
Founder of The Prodigal One Ministry and Author of the book "Therefore I Have Hope."
I would like to take this opportunity to Praise God for the opportunities he has given me to share our story over the past year.
In 2017 I was invited to speak at over 20 events, asked to become Chairman of the Board of Christian Library International and participate in their Advance the Light dinner in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Along with the speaking engagements I was interviewed by the Peoria Journal Star, Lenka’s List, Love 4 Love Ministry and Speak Up Talk Radio with Pat Rullo.
Through generous friends, copies of “Therefore I Have Hope” were donated to the Peoria County Jail, Pekin Federal Prison and Illinois River Correctional Center.
The highlight of the year was going back to prison. The Berean Prison Ministry allowed me to speak at four services in the Peoria County Jail the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I am excited to see where God leads me in 2018. I don’t know what doors God will open but I know I will follow. May God bless you as much as you have blessed me. May you have a peace filled New Year and whatever you do, do all for the glory of God.
