Pastor Fellars was my pastor and a personal friend of mine. I would like to clarify a few things for you. NIU did not have any influence regarding the naming of that particular church. NIU does not plant churches either. Timberland began as a group of local Crivitz people, and College students with Pastor Fellars leading the group. Our mother church was Faith Baptist in Pembine, WI. The leadership at Faith told us specifically that we could name the church whatever we wanted. They even allowed some members to aid us in our efforts. <br />Crivitz is a town 45 minutes south of NIU. As you mentioned, Pastor Fellars taught church planting at NIU. What better way to teach church planting than to plant a church nearby and include some of his students? <br />Based on these facts, I believe your question # 4 is misleading and unnecessary.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Enric Lopez Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
