E. Valverde
Ministries
Through the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit and for over half a century in the ministry,
Pastor Efraim Valverde, Sr. has been the author of a
great number of biblically related books and articles.
In them he has dissertated concerning subjects and
truths of supreme importance; and I say “supreme,”
because the spiritual life of the
children of God depend on the knowledge of these truths.
With a special calling that is highly uncommon, this
minister of the Lord Jesus Christ has presented to
God’s people--in singular form--as much in the spoken
message as through his writings, the truths and
mysteries that have been revealed unto him by the Lord
in His Sacred Word, the Holy Bible. At the present and
at worldwide level, the messages that are a product of
this ministry have caused a positive impact in the lives
of many from among “the
people of the saints of the Most High”
(Daniel 7:27).
In
contrast, the ministry and the messages of this man of
God have also provoked great controversy in the minds of
many, specifically, since he has been called of God to
“afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.”
In this ministry, the following biblical declaration has
been fulfilled: “The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the
masters of assemblies, which are given from one
shepherd”
(Ecclesiastes 12:11).
The
main purpose of this ministry has been to confirm the
faithful believers, but also to shake and awaken as many
as it is possible from among a slumbering and blind
religious world; a world where a weak and complacent
Christianity lives “neglecting
so great a salvation” (Hebrews 2:3).
The
description of the author’s ministry provided here is
said with complete certainty since it pertains to my own
father. Inclusively, for the last 25 years of my life,
it has pleased the Lord that as a son I would also have
a direct participation in this special ministry that God
has committed unto my father.

CONVOCATION
"THE VIOLENT"
Those
who have received what I have written, since the Lord
restored my life at the end of last year (1998) after
undergoing three life-threatening medical procedures,
know that I have been insisting that we need more fire
of God's Holy Spirit. Many know that I have been
speaking and writing about "Spiritual
Violence" and how imperative it is for us to lift
ourselves from the mediocrity, passivity and conformity
which prevails among us and which produces bland, boring
routines.
