Administration, Elders, Bible Counsel

This would help us because we are only two elders who are working many hours of the day and night to serve you and we are not able to get to all questions and still do our ministry work and family duties, too.

NOT SATISFIED? Send your questions or comments in the simplest, shortest form possible to Elders@UBM1.org (Note: We are doing our best to keep David's hands free to give him the time to work on radio and TV programs, books and other administrative duties.)

You are also welcome to join our semi-weekly Outreach Teleconference Ministry.

Thank you for your consideration.

Love from your servants at UBM.

Dividing the UBM Responsibility
Kaile Hamilton - 08/05/2008
(David's notes in red)

In this dream I saw Brother David and Brother Bob Aicardi preparing for someone whom the Lord was sending to them. The Lord told them to cut a fish up in 15 pieces (dividing up the fishing ministry to elders and other ministers) and portion it to put into two mini-gulfs in the Gulf of Mexico. (Our portion of the big pond with all the fish.) After they divided the fish pieces in the two mini-gulfs, the Lord told them to wait for the person who was coming. I then realized that they were waiting for my mom and me to arrive because when we got there and saw Dave and Bob they knew that we were who they were waiting on the Lord for. (Doris and Kaile came to help us with ideas to make UBM e-mail more efficient and free me up to do other work.) The Lord then brought it to remembrance as the dream ended that the night before my mom and I found out that it was 17 hours and 17 minutes to Dave's house from ours. (17 is the number of preservation through evil. He then showed me that the fish that was cut into 15 pieces by Dave and Bob came out to 17 and since my mom and I were also two it also added up to 17 with the 15 pieces of the fish that brought us together. "17" and "17." (Doris is an Administrative Assistant in areas like financial advice, finding guests for the program and many others. Kaile has been working on transcribing and editing audios into text.)

I then woke up and began to ask the Lord about what it meant and for more confirmation that it was His will for us to go and He gave me 1 Chronicles 27:25-34 about King David delegating his kingdom. {25} And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah: {26} And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: {27} and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: and over the increase of the vineyards for the wine-cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: {28} and over the olive-trees and the sycomore-trees that were in the lowland was Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: {29} and over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: {30} and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. {31} All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's. {32} Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counsellor, a man of understanding, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons: {33} And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend: {34} and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king's host was Joab.

Our ministry is made up of many people who take responsibility for their own gifts and work well but their connection to the public has been too much through my hands. Before Doris and Kaile came to see us I had been thinking of ways to put the public directly in touch with not only the elders but also the department heads, so this is a good confirmation. In a lot of cases the choice for who to contact is relatively easy because they are already doing the work. Although I don't compare myself with Moses, he got some good advice.

{Exo.18:17} And Moses' father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good. {18} Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. {19} Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, and bring thou the causes unto God: {20} and thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. {21} Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: {22} and let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear [the burden] with thee.
