We were both born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in Christian homes. We accepted the Lord as our Savior and had a Holy Ghost experience as young people. We were attending the Assembly of God church in which I was born and raised. Suzie had attended the church since high school. That is where we met and were married on Sept. 7 1968. The Lord started dealing with us on having a closer walk with Him shortly after both my parents were killed in a car accident. We were hungry for God's word but were not being fed where we were. We attended other churches to see if there might be anything there to feed us but to no avail. Brother & Sister Lau (my in-laws) had wanted us to listen to some tapes they had of Bro. William Branham and Bro. Raymond Jackson. After some time we decided to go to their home on Sunday night and listen to their tapes and see if they lined up with the Scriptures. After much prayer ( on their part and on our part) we went to their house and they played Bro. Branham's tape" The Spoken Word is the Original seed". It was an eye opener. Everything he said made more sense than anything that we had heard preached before. We started listening to Brother Branham's & Brother Jackson's tapes every Sunday night. And soon found that we could no longer attend the Assembly of God church. The Lord had dealt with us on the Godhead and baptism in Jesus name. Wanting to be baptized in the true Christian baptism (Acts 2:38) we had planned on attending the 1972 Convention at Faith Assembly to be baptized. But because of circumstances beyond our control we were unable to attend. So we went up to a Message Assembly in Shawano Wisconsin and we were baptized in Jesus's name there. The Lord blessed us with more Truth and we began to grow in revelation and the knowledge of the Lord. We now were alternating meetings in our home and Brother & Sister Lau's home on Sundays, listening to tapes (Brother Jackson's & Brother Branham's). It was mostly just the four of us. A few others attended from time to time.

Now the Lord had dealt much with Brother Lau and showed him that Brother Jackson had the Truth. One dream that stands out in my mind, Dad was paging through the Bible and would stop at a scripture and asked Brother Jackson how he saw it and it would be just the same way the Lord had showed it to Dad. They did this several times and they always saw things the same way. When Dad woke up he knew that Brother Jackson had the Truth. He then had a desire to move here after he retired. But he was waiting on the leading of the Lord.

By the Grace of God we were able to attend the Faith Assembly conventions in 1973 and 1974. Our hearts felt so full while we were here. When the time came to leave, we hated to go. We had never planned on leaving Wisconsin. We loved it there. I had a good job at an educational TV station and we were buying a home. Suzie had started a Knitting Machine business in the basement of our home. The business was starting to pick up and we were perfectly settled. But our hearts yearned for the fellowship and the fresh manna we experienced at convention.

In the spring of 1975 I felt led of the Lord to put a resume together to take with me at convention time. When we came down to the summer convention I put a fleece before the Lord. I then put my application in at the three major TV stations in Louisville and one in Lexington Ky. There were no openings at that time and the economy was in bad shape here. Some of the stations were even down sizing. It seemed as if the door had been closed. So we returned home feeling that maybe it was just a test to see if we would be willing to go. Then in September I received a letter from one of the stations in Louisville, asking me to come for an interview, which I did. From that time on the Lord started moving on the circumstances in our lives to be here. I was hired at the station as a TV engineer (which was an answer to my fleece). That is where I'm still at today. The Lord moved in a miraculous way, for us to sell our house and move down here in four weeks. There were absolutely no doubts in our minds that the Lord was leading us here. He met so many needs in such a short time. By October 30, 1975, we had moved into an apartment, and in April 1976 we were purchasing a house in Jeffersonville, Indiana. June 1976, the Lord made a way for my in-laws (Brother & Sister Lau) to move here also. This thrilled their souls, as it was something they had been praying for, for quit some time. September 1977, Brother Jackson asked if I would take over the tape room at Faith Assembly along with the audiotape ministry. This fulfilled a prophecy that came during our home meetings that the Lord had a work for me to do.

We thank the Lord for the ministry of Brother Jackson. In the time we have been here we have seen Brother Jackson stand strong and firm on God's word, never wavering amongst all the confusion which envelopes this end time message. Brother Jackson has defended Brother Branham's name and upheld his teachings more than any preacher in this end time message today. It is an honor and a privilege to have a part in this ministry. We have witnessed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last few years in our services. It has thrilled our souls for we feel there is a miraculous time coming, in which God will put his bride on display. It is an exciting time to be alive. We are nearing the finish line. We are looking up for our redemption draweth nigh. Praise the Lord! God Bless You! Brother Dan & Sister Sue Berta
