In 1986, a group of women at Fellowship Bible Church
in Roswell, Georgia, USA under the direction of Pat Harley
began a ministry to provide excellent Bible teaching
and offer encouragement to women. Within a few years
the Women’s Fellowship Ministry was reaching hundreds
of women weekly.
In 1996, we began to teach the Bible sequentially so
women might better understand the purpose of every book
in God’s Word and clearly see the incredible story of
God’s redemption. This method of Bible study was unique
but the results were dynamic for both new believers and
seasoned students.
In 1999, God began to direct Pat to put the study on
film with the hope of reaching millions with the “big
picture” of God’s Holy Word. As she prayed and God directed,
He began bringing the resources and people needed for
such a huge project.
Eleanor Lewis, Linda Sweeney and Margie Ruether, much
loved Bible teachers for the Women’s Fellowship, joined
Pat to form a teaching team. In 2001 Big Dream Ministries
was formed as a 501(c )3 not-for-profit corporation.
Soon there were over 40 volunteers helping with the music,
legal aspects and hundreds of other necessary details.
Soteria Productions became the production company and
Art VanderVeen and Carrie Ott were hired to write all
the workbooks in conjunction with the teachers.
In 2005 all sixty-six DVDs and eleven workbooks were
completed. Today The Amazing Collection is not only a
popular Bible study among Women’s Ministries, small groups
and individual students in America but also has been
televised on ACCTV in Australia, UCBTV in England, CNLTV
(Russian language) in Russia and 115 other countries
and in Ukraine (Ukraine language), Kingdom Sat (Arabic
language) in the Middle East and North Africa and Shine
TV in New Zealand. The fervent prayers to reach a million
women have been answered with a resounding “YES”!
To God be the glory!
