ABOUT ADDORATION MINISTIES
ADDoration Ministries is essentially a Christian outreach to present Jesus to persons handicapped by ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). It also reaches out to persons of other disorders, such as ADHD, LD (Learning Disabled), autism, bipolar, alcoholism, Asbergers Syndrome, and nervous conditions. It even will reach out to so-called normal persons. Spiritual needs are similar for anybody; however they are greater for disordered persons.
It is presently a one man ministry, by Lester Hemphill, who has been ADD handicapped since childhood, plus a nervous condition. Lester grew up in a Christian family, but had wayward alcohol soaked young adult years. Then Lester had a mid-life conversion that has vastly revealed Jesus's love and power. Lester is a layman (not ordained); however he believes in Martin Luther's concept of "Priesthood of All Believers." You might call ADDoration Ministries a part of The Body of Christ that reaches out to persons with disorders.
ADDoration Ministries is non-denominational and desires to influence persons to just become believers in Christ. If you are curious about Lester's church affiliation, he is United Methodist, but he has some American Baptist background.
Presently ADDoration Ministries is just a web site. However Lester has reflected on other brainstorms, that you can read about in the web page "Vision For ADDoration Ministries." Also there is the web page listing "Plans for other writings" on the web site.
Lester recognizes that a web site has limitations, as for an evangelizing medium. A web site cannot replace face to face meeting, and it can only give information. Any heart conversion must be from an experience elsewhere besides the Internet. But a web site CAN encourage you to pray for God to lead you to the heart conversion.
By the way, the Cloud County Community College Director of Advisement and Counseling is a different man, who also is named Les Hemphill. Interestingly he also is on the board of directors of the Kansas chapter of AHEAD (Association of Higher Education and Disability); therefore he too is involved with ADD persons (probably to a greater extent than I am). The name similarity is coincidence or God-incidence.
