以下是Jim Patch到“最后一支号筒月刊”查验的经过。

很多人以为这是某种异端。相信我，我刚开始也是这么想，直到上次我有幸能够到威斯康辛州的Beaver Dam去查验此事工。我花了一个礼拜的时间与他的家人在一起，并参加他们教会的聚会。我需要知道这个事工到底是否真的是异端，或是接近异端。结果我发现他的事工与异端根本相差太远。我的重点是：末次号筒不是异端。梅尔牧师真的是上帝所重用的仆人。对于刚接触的人来说，他或许听起来像是个宗教狂；但是我发现正好相反，他不是。

我发现他是用上帝的话语﹝英文钦定本﹞在讲道，并且在呼召悔改时毫不含糊。虽然梅尔牧师并不是个完美的人，但他是我所认识唯一绝不在信仰上妥协的牧师。

你可以到许多教会听到关于“你有多好”的讲道，但是你如何会因此而认罪悔改？梅尔牧师传讲的却是悔改的道。他传讲真理，而非某些“好听的话”或耶稣基督宝血的稀释版。

虽然我认同他98%的讲道，他也没有忽视我所不认同的那2%。他会拿出真理，而不会让人迷失。

让我知道哪一个教会几乎每天都有祷告会？我告诉你一个在Beaver Dam的小教会。让我知道哪一个教会是个别地为人代祷？我会告诉你末次号筒事工。那间教会唯一不好的就是它离我家太远﹝译者：Jim Patch住纽泽西﹞，并且是在个非常寒冷的地方。无论如何还是愿上帝祝福他们！

所以现在我告诉那些喜欢批评此事工的人：你们不会了解梅尔牧师和他的事工，直到你真的丢弃你的虚伪并来查验他们的教会、认识他们美好的会众与家人。

Below is Jim Patch’s visit to the Last Trumpet Ministry

Many people think this is some sort of a cult. Believe me, I thought the same thing in the beginning until I had the pleasure of taking a trip to Beaver Dam to check out the ministry. I spent a week with his family and the congregation. I had to find out if the ministry was in fact some sort of cult or close to it. I found his ministry to be so far from being a cult that I began to wonder if the churches I attended before were cults. They were not and that's my point. Pastor Meyer is a true man of God and an original. He may sound like some religious nut to those just beginning to hear his teachings but I found the opposite.

I had to know what he's all about and found that he speaks from the Word of God (the King James Version) and pulls no punches when it comes to a call to repentance. Although Pastor is not a perfect man, he's the only pastor I know who does not compromise his beliefs no matter what sort of opposition comes at him. He sticks to his convictions and that should be admired.

As far as being a cult leader？ No way！

He has never indicated to me that he is a god figure nor do I have to go thru him for remission of sins. That sounds like the Catholic Church to me. The Catholic Church tells you that you must go to your priest for remission of sins then he has to go to his boss and so on and so on until it reaches the Pope which is considered God to the church.

Well, that my friend is a Cult.

Pastor doesn't beg for money but gives his ministry away for FREE. You can't say that about the 99% of churches and so-called Christian organizations in this county. It's mostly about money in these churches and very little about souls.

You can go to these churches and hear a powerful sermon of how good you are, but how do you come to repentance thru that？ Pastor Meyer preaches repentance and God's grace thru repentance. He preaches the truth and not some social gospel or some watered down version of the blood of Jesus.

Although I agree with 98 % of his teachings, he doesn't disregard me for the 2% I don't. He presents the truth and doesn’t stray from it.

Show me a church where there is a prayer meeting almost everyday and I’ll show you a little church in Beaver Dam, WI. Show me a church who prays for each individual request (not just a lump of some altogether) with fervent prayer and I'll show you "Last Trumpet Ministries". The only bad thing I can say about the church is that it's too far from me to attend and it's located in the coldest part of the world. God bless them anyhow！

So I say to those ignorant people who like to criticize the ministry： You have no idea what Pastor Meyer and his ministry is all about until you actually get off your duff and visit his church and meet his wonderful congregation and family.
