Dear friends of Hope For All Fellowship and Tentmaker Ministries,
Some of you must think I disappeared off the face of the earth since our last HOPE E-REPORT (on Bible Translations) back in August. Much has happened since.
The first thing I must share with you—if you have not heard, is that, sadly (for us all), both Michelle and Gary Amirault, founders of Tentmaker Ministries, have gone on to be with the Lord in 2018: Michelle, on July 31, and Gary on November 3. They were loved by countless numbers of people across the world. We greatly miss them.
See our tributes to the Amiraults on the Tentmaker TRIBUTE PAGE which includes a short 3-part video tribute series.
Tentmaker is alive and well . . . Learn more on our updated ABOUT page.
Thank you all for praying for my wife Denise; she has been steadily improving since her 8-day emergency hospitalization in November. Here’s a 1:48 minute VIDEO of that night.
The whole Bible is a love message . . . I’d like to share with you a YouTube comment I received today:
“The whole Bible is a love message; the reflection of God’s own heart. When the message of universal reconciliation is revealed through the Holy Spirit, from genesis to revelation . . . only joy, peace and overflowing love can come forth! Yes, God punishes sin, but His passionate mercy is oh so much greater for all! Amen and halleluhah!
Thank you Gerry for preaching with Gary here in this video. Gary and Michelle, rest in peace, love and joy! Much respect and kind regards, Daniel (from Sweden) :)”
After receiving Daniel’s kind and encouraging comment, I felt I needed to share that video with you along with Gary’s last “ministry” video produced just before Michelle passed in July.
Gary and I share about our Heavenly Father’s unfailing love for all—the Victorious Gospel. We filmed it on Father’s Day during Denise and I’s 5-day visit last June (2018) shortly before Michelle passed in July. Gary asked me to do a video with him on my new book—Hope For All. He thought it was an ideal occasion to highlight God’s Father heart for all people. Our ministry team thought it best to post it on the Tentmaker “About” page as it projects a sense of continuity in Tentmaker’s leadership through our oneness of spirit.
This video is the last “ministry” video Gary did. He produced it in mid-July, 2018 titling it Hell Abuses Children. He focuses on the horrid teaching of the “age of accountability,” showing the tragic results of this terrorizing abuse of children. His deep love and concern for children touched me as he talks.
Note: We have not made this video public with the rest of Tentmaker’s videos because of it’s many references to children and YouTube’s strict policy of deleting any channels it suspects has inappropriate content relative to children. We must be cautious.
“God Is Love” 1 Jn 4:8, 16 “Love Never Fails” 1 Cor 13:8
May you grow in love, joy and peace in God’s unfailing, unending love for you and for all people.
I would love to hear from you!
Gerry Beauchemin

Hi Gerry,
The idea of universal salvation has great appeal to me, and as a former Jehovah’s Witness, I know that there is a widely believed myth about hell, and am not tripped up by that belief.
However, there are a couple of scriptures that interfere with totally buying into “universal salvation”. Perhaps you can provide me with a clearer understanding.
“But who are you, a mere man, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor? And what if God, desiring to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience objects of wrath ready for destruction? And what if He did this to make known the riches of His glory on objects of mercy that He prepared beforehand for glory–” Rom 9:20-23 HCSB
What does Paul mean by “one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?” Additionally, we have
“But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars–their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Rev 21:8 HCSB
As Rev 20:10 points out, the lake of fire represents the final destruction (not torment) of the devil, beast, and false prophet. Why would it not also represent the final destruction of all those listed in Rev 21:8. It’s tempting to assume that that is actually their ungodly spirit that is destroyed, but that isn’t what it says. And there is no indication that there is a resurrection from the lake of fire.
I’m looking forward to your response.
May our Shepherd continue to bless your ministry.
Terry
