About Judy

Judy is a graduate of YWAM (Youth with a Mission-( www.ywam.org) Crossroads Mission Training, where the goal is to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known. Lamplight Ministries, Inc. exists to take God’s message of love in Christ Jesus across the world, especially to nations where the spread of the gospel is outlawed.

With a Master’s Degree in Secondary Reading, Judy taught in both public and Christian schools. To this day she uses her skills to deliver the Word of God to hungry hearts.

Judy was a founder and director of Ladder Creek Youth Ranch (Omega Ranch) in Scott City, Kansas, where over a hundred young people came to the horse camp each week for free and the counselors trusted God for their finances. Judy is also a John Lyons certified natural horse trainer and is a Level 3-4 in Parelli Natural Horsemanship. In her 80's, she delights in riding horses, playing tennis, kayaking, and organic gardening. She has edited or co-written with Jack 27 Scripture-filled books. She continues to provide the Word of God in bite-sized pieces and easy to understand language. She will do somersaults when she hears from you!

Reaching souls for Jesus Christ and making disciples is the heartbeat of Lamplight Ministries, Inc.

Jack Hartman’s Need – God’s Answer

The ministry began in 1983 when Jack was about to go bankrupt and have a nervous breakdown. A friend told him that if he gave his heart to Jesus Christ and immersed himself in the Word of God, the Bible, Jack might not have to go bankrupt.

Jack met Jesus Christ. Jack’s life was changed. He searched the Bible for everything he could find about finances. He put the verses on three by five cards. He carried them with him. He discovered that God owns everything. Jack also discovered that God’s ways are often exactly opposite of man’s ways. Jack learned that living to give, giving as a gift of gratitude back to God, is one of God’s secrets to receiving God’s sufficiency. God’s sufficiency is God’s supply in every area of life.

Jack was able to avoid bankruptcy and pay everyone back. People began to ask Jack what happened, so he began a Bible study with eight people in an upper room of the Northeast Planning Associates, Inc. office (see northeastplanning.com). The Bible study kept growing and had to move to the Holiday Inn, then to the Sheridan Wayfarer, and then to the Southside Junior High School cafeteria (Jack remembers getting mustard on his shirt cuffs from the tables). The next location was Memorial High School. Finally, land was purchased in Bedford, NH; Faith Christian Center had a home. A strong missions’ program was born as well as a Christian elementary school. The fellowship grew to a thousand people worshiping together on Sunday mornings. Jack was the Tuesday night Bible teacher from 1975 until 1989.

Jack was an avid golfer from age 13, when he began as a caddy, to age 81. He made six holes in one!

Trust God for Your Finances Is Born!

The notes from the Bible study became the book, Trust God for Your Finances, published in 1983 (now with over 180,000 copies in print and translated into nine languages). The firm is now under the leadership of Ed Hiers, whom Jack hired when he was 22. The firm, NPA, (www.northeastplanning.com), now employs over 100 people-and is an exemplary leader in the insurance industry. Jack continued mentoring advisors on telephone appointments until 2012. Now he still has select NPA telephone appointments.

Lamplight Ministries, Inc. Is Born!

In 1991 Lamplight Ministries, Inc. was born, when Jack and Judy realized that giving was the core of their publishing company. So many lives were being transformed by Jesus Christ in Jack’s books. The ministry was created to allow people who have been blessed by the message of the gospel and the Word of God in the books to be a part of providing more books free of charge, especially to pastors and leaders in Third World nations. Now Lamplight Ministries, Inc. has 32 topical, Bible-based books written by Jack or Jack and Judy. The books are a bridge to connect the reader with the Lord Jesus Christ and the living instruction manual, the Bible.

Connecting people with Jesus Christ is the focus of Lamplight Ministries, Inc. and subsequently teaching them instruction in righteousness, how to dwell in Christ Jesus and walk with God. The goal, also, is to ignite people to be ministers of the gospel through sharing their faith with others as well as sharing Lamplight books with others.

Jack (1031-2019) and Judy Today

Lamplight continues to ship books to the nations and now provides e-books and audio books as well for pastors, leaders, and all who want to journey in the Word of God.
