Those of you who keep responding who do not know us...we are the Deals. We invite you to come to All Nations Outreach Center this month and see who we really are and how awesome the people of Sulphur Springs are. This will be our first and last response and we will not read the blog again. We know where the blog began and who it is disguised as “morgan Freeman” and God truly loves them as he loves us all. God always loves us it is just our actions that he does not always love. Amen!
We thank those who have responded on our behalf and we appreciate your love for the Lord, us, the people of All Nations and the community of Sulphur Springs. God sees in secret and in public so he has our back. He is good.
We just wanted to respond to the question of why we would leave such a great church. IT IS A GREAT CHURCH and the people are diamonds. To us, there is no other church in Tampa we would want to be at. We have been called there by God for almost 11 years. We are ONLY leaving because God is directing us in a new direction and we have to be obedient. We are going to be missionaries to Costa Rica part time until the vision is completely built and we can reside their for longer periods of time. The vision there is huge. If you want to know more you can come to our last service on August 3rd in the evening. We are excited at what God has done in us and through us in that awesome community that so often gets misjudged. We love you Sulphur Springs. We love the community leaders who have partnered with us to bless the people in so many ways. Thank you community leaders for having a heart for the people. We know that God has even greater things for All Nations. This is just a new beginning.
A new pastor will be selected by the a board of pastors who have served as our board with the Assemblies of God. they have the community of Sulphur Springs as their priority and will do their best to place a man and women there who love God and have a call to the people.
God has been faithful and He is so much bigger than we so often see Him. The vision at All Nations will continue, just under a new head and the work God began will come to completion.
Love you Sulphur Springs. Love you All Nations. Thank you to all of those who have labored with us over the past 11 years. May God bless you and honor you. And THANK YOU JESUS for giving us the privilege of coming to this beautiful place. We know God will give All Nations the best in a pastor so the days that are ahead are truly exciting.
It is unfortunate that the negative responses refuse to give their real names. That is why we have not responded. We are only responding now because We wanted to speak on behalf of the beautiful people we love at ANOC.
God bless you Tampa Bay. We will continue to pray for a mighty move of God in every Bible believing church in the city.
Pastors Steve and Lennette Deal and Family
Why friends of tbo,
I must say this is a class act. The Youth Pastor comes on here and gives you his email and phone number to ask him any questions that you want. The actual pastor comes on here and tells you that they are going to be a missionary and that is why they are leaving.
This is unlike any of the t.v. 6 or other organizations.
Not all churches are bad. I have never even heard of these folks until this post reappeared.
They are not like a Randy & Paula White or Copeland etc. Hiding their agendas or hiding behind their staff with multiple ids/
I posted back a few weeks ago after running a quick check. They are not hiding behind multiple million dollar homes, they do not have multiple shell corporations, they do not have trusts, they do not have multiple blogs of “Sheared Sheep” screaming scandal and there are not multiple lawsuits.
(Matter of fact these people are clean.)
To attack someone without documents proving they are a sham, is wrong. There are no documents showing that this church did anything wrong.
I am sure the attackers will classify my team and I as knowing these people. (We do not know them) As I have stated many times in the past we fight for what is right and defend the “Sheared Sheep”! I must say when I tell you they are clean they are clean.
As Christians we must take on what is wrong and defend what is right. The t.v.6 are wrong but these people have the decency to come on as themselves. Not to defend but to reply.
May I suggest you let them go in peace.
Your friend,
Rippedoff
