My name is Dr. Robert E. Hale, and I am the presiding president of Withered Hand Ministries, Inc. I met Dr. Jerry, one of our founders, back in 1997, when we both worked for the same trucking company. He spoke into my life, and I began following his ministry. Later, I joined and became a part of his ministry outreaches, which later stretched into other countries. I also took three years to write his first book, “Ministering the Withered Hand,” which was later rewritten and published as “18 Wheels and Jesus.”
I have a long history of being used by God to speak into leadership. The moniker’ A Minister to the Minister’, which signifies his role as a spiritual guide and mentor to other ministers, was coined during his ministry as an over-the-road trucker.
Under the guidance of the Lord, I established ‘The Unity Line,’ a groundbreaking conference line that allowed people to connect using their cell phones. This innovative platform, which operated seven days a week and featured seven different Ministries, was a resounding success, inspiring hope and faith in all who participated.
Dr. Jerry Hulse, another well-known trucker evangelist, known for his CB call sign handle, “The Guardian Angel,” even held a revival on it that was a mighty work in the LORD! At first, Dr. Jerry didn’t think it was a possibility. But God.
The Unity Line, a testament to our adaptability and growth, evolved into the Call-In Church. This expansion, facilitated by Facebook, allowed a wider audience, including truckers, shut-ins, travelers, and others, to join us for Bible studies and church services, demonstrating our commitment to reaching and serving all God’s people.
During that season, both Dr. Jerry and I were led into congregations where we experienced signs, Wonders, & yes, miracles. Dr. Jerry operates in the gifts of signs and miracles, while I primarily operate in the gift of discernment and words of confirmation. However, if you have the Giver, then you have all the gifts, just as Jesus wants to manifest Himself in you.
I am deeply committed to serving and helping any leadership team that needs assistance. I do not seek personal gain, but I humbly ask for a love offering to support my ministry. As long as the Lord allows, I will come to you, ready to serve and help. Your ministry would be responsible for travel expenses, such as Airplane tickets and lodging. I have slept in several churches over the years, a testament to my selfless dedication to his ministry.
1. Are you having a hard time keeping Pastors?
2. Do your members have a complaining spirit?
3. Is your ministry staff unhappy and upset to the point that something needs to happen?
4. Is the LORD trying to take your church from a social club into a real move of God ministry?
