Thank You
Erma …
I came to LHBC for
many years with my parents starting around the age of
ten. Just before I graduated from college I contacted
Glen and Erma about working for them at the camp
ground for a year. I thought it would be a simple
"yes" since they had known my parents and
me for many years. But it was not to be. Erma said,
"We'll have to pray about it". To be honest
at that time, I was shocked, but looking back I see
the wisdom in her answer. I worked with and for Erma
for over three years before she passed to the highest
rung of the ladder, that all of us are climbing
(Jacob's ladder). Along with greater dedication to
prayer Erma helped me to increase my trust in the
LORD, and rely on Him to bring the solutions to the
"big" problems in my life that He solved
before my birth. Lord, please tell Erma "thank
you" from Christel. Christel Beckley,
Office Manager - (Christel came to LHBC just
before Erma had her operation for the excess spinal
fluid. She required almost constant care while she
learned to walk, write and remember. Christel became
her nurse and teacher, our office manger, and Erma's
and my angel from heaven - Glen Miller)

The first time I
heard Erma speak in the Ladies class at Camp, I was
blessed by her knowledge of deliverance, the
authority I saw as she taught, and her discernment in
deliverance. God had given her a gift that many could
be set free. She would know what the root of the
problem was instantly, and cast out the spirit. Many
people are free today because of her love and
concern. She will be well remembered. Erma had many
gifts but her gift of discerning spirits was one few
people have or use. - Minister Mildred Coffey
- (God has sent Mildred Coffey to be Erma's teaching
replacement for the women's meetings. - Glen

Erma Miller was a
special lady to me. She had a keen sense of
discernment and knew how to pray to help people get
free. I used to call her Mrs. Sandpaper, because she
knew just what to say to challenge me. Her words
might not always feel good, but when I was ready to
surrender; she was more then willing to help pray for
me. - Kevin King, Webmaster for LHBC -
(Kevin came to live with us in California, and when
we decided to move to Arkansas, he asked us,
"Please, can I go too?". So along with Erma
and I came Kevin, who became a very faithful helper;
clearing brush, hauling hundreds of loads of gravel
with the back hoe, working in the office making
tapes, and then one day Erma asked him to come help
her pray for someone, and that is where he found his
Patti. - Glen Miller)

Erma was a classy
lady but she wasn't religious. In all her fineries,
she never held back when it came to rolling up her
sleeves to battle the enemy in someone's life so they
could be set free. She loved the anointing and to
feel the fire of God. She encouraged everyone that
knew her to press towards the mark of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus - and she did so by
example and the life she led. She was a gifted writer
and Bible teacher and the Lord always gave her common
sense examples to illustrate His Kingdom purposes.
God used Erma to nurture and help me develop as a
Christian, as a wife, and as an employee. I had been
saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit only about a
year when the Lord placed Erma in my life in 1979. It
was a privilege to work closely alongside her for
many years. She was an example to me of the love of
Jesus, and invested many hours teaching, training and
praying for me. She never asked anyone to do anything
that she was not willing to do herself. She was not
only my boss and my spiritual mentor, but she was my
friend.- Patti King - (Patti came to
LHBC one week just to keep a friend of hers company
that came for prayer and deliverance, not knowing she
would meet he future husband, Kevin, when Erma called
him in to help pray. Patti has been a vital part of
the deliverance ministry here at LHBC - Glen
