Two of my heroes.  Bruce Howell and Carlos Ecle.  Carlos Ecle is a pastor in the Philippines who broke his back when he was twelve and has not walked since.  That has never stopped him. He is a church planter and a great soul winner.  Ecle actually builds his churches with his bare hands even though he is paralyzed from the waist down.  Brother Howell was challenging the ministry to sacrifice and preached a great message about "Nevertheless..." No matter what my obstacles, I am going to keep on going on.

The platform is quite high and Ecle tried to "walk" up the stairs by himself.  He puts his hands on his feet and is actually walking on his hands.

In this photo they are both screaming, "Nevertheless!"

Then with the entire General Conference looking on, he refused the men who stood ready to help, and by himself walked down the steep steps illustrating for all of us, "Nevertheless."
