"If
God can only find one man, that's all He
needs, one man that can fully surrender
to Him. He don't take an army; He never
did use that. He only uses a man"
~William Branham |

Brother
John was such a man and many souls are
eternally affected by the life he lived.
Indeed, it is the very life of Christ,
continually and vividly on display! He
was a man of slight physical stature but
tremendous Christian stature; meek,
humble, sweet, loving and yet strong in
the Holy Ghost. Never once did he
compromise on the Word of God, never
once did he fail to speak the truth, no
matter what the potential consequences.
His greatest joy has been sharing,
studying, preaching and living the
message God sent through His prophet,
William Marrion Branham. Like our Lord
Jesus Christ, Brother John made himself
of no reputation, choosing in all things
to give glory to his God and Savior.
And, like Saint Paul, Bro. Branham and
the many great servants of God that came
throughout the ages, he gave no thought
to his own needs. He took little for
himself and gave all he had for others.
He often said, “You know, I’d do
anything for you!” And it was so. A
loving Holy-Ghost-filled family; a
disciplined, loving and well-instructed
flock of believers; a new church
building established through his
selfless devotion; all stand as a loving
testament to the life of John Jacob
Stemen. Beloved Pastor, Husband, Son,
Father, Grandfather, Friend and Brother
- he will be sorely, terribly missed and
yet, we joyfully release him to the
rewards of Heaven. We shall see him
soon, we believe by faith! |
