Open letter to AFF

Sister Alvear · #1 07-26-2011, 01:29 AM

I am a little upset that OLD PATHS 11 seems to think or at least that is how I understand what he wrote that I am not truthful and someone needs to call me and all the things I get away with on this forum...

I request as a long time member of this forum...since the days of FaithChild if anyone at anytime ever caught me in a lie?

Over the years I have shared our ups and downs, victories and defeats, births and deaths and this forum and many of the members have become friends with me and missions.

We have posted thousands of pictures, our newsletters and shared our life her to help people understand that missionaries are real people...have real passions.

I have shared with you the needs of our people and the mission in general. Both spiritual and natural...told of days of laughter and tears...

Strange how people look at things...Just tonight we had supper with Pastor Robinson from Jayess, Mississippi and he looked over the headquarters church, the projects, and told us how growing up he was always inspired by our visits to his home. (His mother used to fix my hair when I would be in the area)

My life has been and continues to be an open book...

If anyone would like any details names, dates, places of any missionary stores I have ever related I will gladly furnish these things...

I am only human and sure I make millions of mistakes but my whole love is missions...

This is one of Old Paths 11 post..

it was actually a friend of mine actually emailed me a link to this thread. This friend is aware of several of my personal hobbyhorses, which include the ridiculous blaming of the devil for everything that goes wrong in our lives, the ridiculous use of credit cards, the tendency of Christians to rack up tons of debt and then give praise to God for what "He gave them", and last but certainly not least, the fact that Sister Alvear gets away with WAY too much on this forum. No one ever calls her on her stories and someone needs to.

I would like to give a personal invitation to anyone to come visit me, our churches anytime...Some on this forum know me personally and a few that write her or read here have been to Brazil...anyway everyone is invited...my home is open...

I wouldn't sweat it, nobody here takes this guy seriously. He's nothing more than a button pusher. His or her own words make it clear...this was done out of boredom

I haven't been around in a while, quite frankly, things have been abundantly boring in the last few months. But once in a while, I peruse and never find anything I want to jump in on.

Until now.

Gotta make you wonder why out of all the threads this person would choose to pick on a missionary to Brazil, doing the work of the Lord

I am more than sure I have offended people (not by intention) however an expression, a thoughtless word or action but I never have lied or intentionally told something untrue... My life is too exciting to have to sit around and think up something to say or write..and many have shared adventures with me that read or write here...including my blood sister that reads the posts...

Personally, I enjoy reading your posts, Sis. I mean, you're pretty transparent, both here and on Facebook. So, perhaps those singling you out must feel some sort of conviction over something you've said or done. Let that be between that person and God and you just keep on keepin' on working for God...

Those are almost the exact words Brother Alvear told me...

Sister Alvear, This guy is messed up so don't take anything he says as rational. He has the problem - not you!
I tell the young ministers that I teach - Some people were broke when they came to you - You did not break them and YOU cannot fix them.

You did not break this guy - he was broken and messed up when he came on this forum and will be broke and messed up when he leaves it!
People that are always preaching about LIARS - Usually have a major problem with it in their own lives!
People like him disgust me with all their negativity!

God bless you Sister Alvear for all that you do for the Kingdom. Brush this off and keep on keeping on!

well...it is my desire to be a blessing...

Was supposed to go at 9 for bloodwork but Brother Alvear was not feeling well so we are going in the morning early but this after noon we have a heart exam (both of us) and he has a stress test I think it is called and maybe the nurse said they would work me in for one also...
I usually fail those kind of tests...lol....

ThePastorsCoach · #8 07-26-2011, 09:58 AM

You have been and always are a blessing. I am praying for both you and Brother Alvear now.

Sister Alvear · #9 07-26-2011, 09:58 AM

We both had an EKG the other day...the doctor said mine (the results) looked like I wore a pacemaker...well, I don't I told him...anyway he ordered another kind of test today...then tonight have Bible class...love my students so much.
