Well first, A big Happy 78th B’day, Ed. We’ve only met in passing over 20 yrs ago here in Colorado Springs on one of your visits. However, even before that when I first heard a recording of your earlier message at New Life Church probably in the 90s, it so resonated with my heart and affirmed my vision of a church that was essentially ‘stuck in neutral’ with respect to ‘Living Christ’ before the watching world. We’ve been supporters of TOW ever since and ask that God would continue to abundantly bless you and your ministry as you challenge the world to receive and live out His love by transforming lives and nations. God bless you abundantly, Ed Silvoso.

Happiest God-Blessed 78th Birthday to a very special brother in the Lord.
Ed, we will forever be grateful to the Lord for sending you over to our home, (by bike) to disciple us, when you were only given two months to live! The memories of our girls being friends and then our trip to Argentina in 1984 are all highlights in our hearts. We love you, we love your heart for the Lord, we love your family, and we pray God’s greatest blessings in your life.
Much LOVE,

You have given me a life changing experience with the Ekklesia Excelerator course in how I view how Jesus and his disciples reached people through the market place. Thank you and Ruth for being such wonderful examples of living in the glory of our Lord. May we all catch your fire, especially to celebrate the gift you are for your birthday.
May God richly bless you on your birthday. Thank you for inspiring me over many years to believe God for greater things than I can even ask or think. You are a world changer that infects others to do and be likewise. Blessings!

About 2 years ago, my husband and I were invited by Word Alive to join in the Eccelerator class. “Meeting” Ed and sitting under his teaching was transformational for us. Forever, we are grateful to WAIO for the invitation and to Mr. Ed for these teachings. God continue to bless you Ed, as you endeavor to reach the world with Fathers love and the Gospel. Be strong in the Lord, in your body soul and Spirit. We love and respect you. May this birthday be the most memorable of all.

A very Happy Birthday dear Ed, How deeply grateful I am to God for equipping you and entrusting you with His Ekklesia. Your example, teaching and drive for His Kingdom has encouraged me to sow His provision and come back for refills over and over again. You are beyond the energizing bunny. There are no limits!! The Ekklesia Excelerator training is so key to everyone, whether they know it or not. I pray His strength in your soul and spirit. As together, we reach the Nations for Jesus. Enjoy your special day and new journey year ahead.
We wish you a wonderful, joy filled Birthday. What an amazing journey so far with MORE to COME we’re sure. My wife, Treva and I were so honored when you came to our church a few years ago in NC. What a blessing and deposit you made. Thank you for encouraging us not to live on past glory filled pursuits, but to run our race for the present and future. You have made a huge imprint and impact on the lives of many..

Happy Birthday Ed. I have such fond memories of many years of life and ministry with you, trips to Asia, ministry in the South Bay, and countless alone times driving in cars or sitting on porches, talking and sharing together. I am forever grateful and a different man because of that. When I was in Singapore last month sharing with 25 asian business leaders, I taught on thing that have become part of the fabric of my life, and many of them came from you. The influence you have had and are having and will have on this planet is more far reaching than any of us could know. Probably better that way. Someone once said, “perfume is ok to be smelled, but you don’t want to drink it”. Love, David

Happy Birthday Ed, thank you for your ministry to the people of Hong Kong and China and sharing the teaching God gave you that you put into practice. The greatest of which is what is so close to the Lord’s heart, His EKKLESIA.
Thank you for taking time to write it together with Ruth’s help and following the path that God gave you in the trail of the revelations in these books you wrote. Thank you so much and many many more years to be a blessing to many.

Happy Birthday, Ed! Your life and passion for Jesus are so inspiring! I believe we all should live like you as we age chronologically. With the wisdom you have gained and all the Lord has done through you, you have a wealth on all levels to teach others. You are not wasting one ounce of what the Lord has done in and though you. This is very admirable. Thank you for your ministry! and most importantly, how you live! I have just read more details of your life from your family member. It is just what I needed to hear at this stage of my life. Bless you! as words cannot describe how grateful I am for your inspiration of how you faithfully walk with Jesus.

During my time with you, and in the years following, I’ve never been in a room with you and not feel inspired, encouraged, and provoked in my faith, vision, and purpose in life. Rare are those with such a gift of encouragement. You have put fresh vision and empowering strength into Christina and me — and many, many others. Your genuine care and compassion for people has challenged me to step out of comfort and reach out to bless others with the love of God. The Slukas are indebted to you and Ruth for sowing into our lives during formative years. Thank you! We wish you a happy birthday and celebrate you today.

Happy birthday, Ed. You and your wife have been good mentors, examples of faith, certainly with a strong ‘charismatic bent’ in all of my influences, as well as one of but a few people I know on this planet, who truly embody what I call “Obedient Nations” as a much-neglected form of our so-called ‘great commission.’ Thank you so much for all you’ve written in this regard, for your family skills and for continuing to motivate people around the world with your steady stream of great, Word-oriented teaching on the wonders of God’s mighty promises and works!

What a great day to celebrate one of God’s treasures! Indeed, every time I hear you speak, Pastor Ed, I come away blessed and blown away by the deep spiritual insights the Lord downloads to you! And I am so thankful that as I attempt to apply the things I learn, I get to experience so much more joy, freedom and depth in my walk with the Lord! Your example of looking at the gifts God has put in your hands and then pushing forward to partner with what He desires has been inspiring and pushes us to not be afraid to step into the new things He may call us to. May you enjoy many days of wonder as you continue your great journey with the awesome God!

Happy Birthday Ed! You have changed my life, & that is affecting my church, and my community around me. While my body would like me to sit home & “chill” in front of the TV or read a good book, my spirit says, “GO”, so I go out, and with a team of intercessors, we reach out to our first responders to tell them God loves them and people appreciate them & are praying for them. All because you, Ed, convinced us that God doesn’t want us staying in the 4 walls of a building, but the Ekklesia goes out into the community. You are a faithful servant of our Most High God, and He is using you to change the world. God bless you & Ruth and your ‘ohana as you celebrate 78 years of LIFE! I love & appreciate you,

It has truly been a blessing and an honor to watch you over the years and be a part of TOW. My life has been forever changed. You have run your race with excellence. May the Lord continue to increase your strength, wisdom, and vision as you continue to run for His glory.

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”
Psalms 1:1-3 NIV
Dear Ed, it is so exciting to see the word of God fulfilled in your life. Thank you for organizing, so many incredible experience, which draw us closer to Him.

Beloved Ed, you have ministered to me and Alan since we met you in 1998! Your enthusiasm for the Lord and His kingdom, and your faithfulness to speak HIS promises (while we let the Holy Spirit speak to us) have been a source of strength and guidance to us as we have made our home and work Ekklesias!
We were beyond blessed to have lunch with you and Ruth, Ed and Marilyn as we celebrated 50 years of marriage!
May God continue His excellent work in and through your life to His glory and honour!
We love you dearly in the Lord Jesus!

Papa Ed,
Ever since I experienced your ministry, Harvest Evangelism in 1995 at the Ilikai Hotel in Waikiki, my walk with the LORD, evangelism, seeing radical change in our families, workplaces, government and the whole community has never been the same. I feel like I was introduced to a higher dimension for the average Christian. You show us the ways of God and the Holy Spirit, the tools to bring the change. Your devotion & love for JESUS, undying commitment to serve HIM and NO compromise integrity, has empowered me and many others. I love your relationship with Father God and how you model that close and intimate friendship, making it easy to follow your example. No matter how bad the world looks, how hopeless, how overwhelming, how dangerously close to self destructing, you and your ministry with Transform Our World was the ONLY lighthouse I could see, to find my way and have hope and an optimism that “we are hard pressed but not crushed”.You always showed me, but GOD….. and nuff said! I’m immediately reminded that HE is bigger than anything and anybody and HE is partnering with each of us to do the part of praying and HE will do HIS part of the impossible. ONLY GOD could do what none of us can, and only we can pray to move HIS hand to accomplish the impossible. Thank you so much for being there for all of us. I’m so privilege, myself and my family, are so grateful for you! Happy Birthday and many blessings returning to you. Aloha, from Lahaina, Maui and the entire Clark Ohana
Hi Ed! Happy, happy birthday! I celebrate you in who you are, and all the lives you have touched and impacted all over the world, and in the kingdom of God! My love to you and thank you so much for all these years of your support and encouragement with Explicit Movement and the love and encouragement, you have given me personally! Have a beautiful day, and it will be an amazing new season for you! Much love and aloha, Michele

Happy Birthday, Papa Ed!
I’m constantly inspired by your all-in love for our Lord! You have given your heart and soul to serve God, and helped to transform my experience as a child of God. May our Lord bless you specially on your birthday. and extend your Caleb anointing. Amen
Dear Dr. Ed, You have been such an inspiration to my family! We love your teaching, your testimonies and your books! We are grateful that God has extended your life & sphere of influence. We pray that the Lord will fill your cup to overflowing in this next year of life! I bless you with Psalm 91:14-16:
“Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

I’m a little late to this party, but I hope you had the happiest of birthdays, Papa Ed! Big hugs from Pennsylvania.
I hope “better late than never” is acceptable for me to wish you a filial blessing as you continue on after your birthday. Your influence in my life and walk with the Lord (and of course, ministry) is irreplaceable. Very, very little time goes by in which what you have sown into me does not show this influence. Most people can’t say that about anyone they know personally; but because of you, I can, and I’m grateful. So, as I and the rest of the saints here celebrate your years which have touched our lives, the best I can think to pray over you is something that you have said over all of us…that “the best is yet to come”!
Ed, your example has inspired me to begin speaking life over my family, workplace, city and nation. Thank you for teaching us how to come into alignment with God’s redemptive plans for our families, the marketplace and even nations. Happy, blessed 78th birthday!
Happy Birthday Dr. Ed! Thank you for your incredibly supernatural legacy in my life!🔥🔥🔥🎊🎉🎂🎈
Happy Birthday Papa Silvoso! Thank for all your love, widsom, and anointing. You have helped put me on a path with Jesus that produced a long hoped for breakthrough in my marketplace ministry. I am so grateful. It is an honor to partner with you for the kingdom. My family Ekklesia is on the map here in Arcadia, CA.
Happiest birthday blessings to you Ed!
You have accomplished so much In your life and God still has so much more ahead for you! What a blessing and a Christ like example you are to the watching world! Thank you for all you’ve done personally in my family’s lives to lead us closer to Him in every sphere! God bless you today and always!! Love Kimberly & Family
The best is yet to be and my books are so good, I take notes on myself!
Dr Ed! You are a gift to the nations. Happiest and Blessed Birthday to you!
Happy 78th birthday! Thank you for demonstrating with your life what it means to be the authentic and unique facet of God He has placed within from before conception and fulfilling your Kingdom assignment with love, integrity, and inspiration!
Happy Birthday Ed Silvoso
God bless you on your birthday! Thank you for being an inspiration and encouragement to the believers. For sharing your biblical wisdom and for not holding back in spreading what the Lord has revealed to you! May you be blessed a hundred fold for being faithful to God and to the ministry He has entrusted to you.
‘May the God of hope (continue to) fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you might (continue to) overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit’
Rom 15:13
God’s richest blessings to you and your beautiful family dear Ed. You have been an amazing example of obedience to Christ! Praise God, He uses you in HUGE and MIGHTY ways!

Thank you for your contagious love for Jesus, your books, your wisdom, your caring heart & your leadership, Ed. I could go on!!! All have blessed me & continue to churn in my spirit, working in me according to His good pleasure. May I & those that follow me be as fruitful as you have demonstrated in the next few decades of my life – should Jesus tarry!! Happy 78th Birthday
Beloved Ed
HAPPY BirthDay indeed.
Kaye and I have walked with you and Ruth hand in hand for 20+ years. You have outranked us, had more energy in everything especially in Bowling! Your heart full of the love for our father in heaven and HIS Kingdom has given us life and directions for life and service with you. You have been a great friend to me and I will always enjoy our memory setting discussions. We love you more now than ever before papa Ed . The Gang in Raleigh, Sirus the master servant of The Lord Jesus
Blessings, ED!!! The one question that I’ve heard you ask more than any other is: “WHY?” But the next question that you follow it is priceless!!! “WHY NOT!!!??? With love and blessings to you young fellow, Bob
Well first, A big Happy 78th B’day, Ed. We’ve only met in passing over 20 yrs ago here in Colorado Springs on one of your visits. However, even before that when I first heard a recording of your earlier message at New Life Church probably in the 90s, it so resonated with my heart and affirmed my vision of a church that was essentially ‘stuck in neutral’ with respect to ‘Living Christ’ before the watching world. We’ve been supporters of TOW ever since and ask that God would continue to abundantly bless you and your ministry as you challenge the world to receive and live out His love by transforming lives and nations. God bless you abundantly, Ed Silvoso.
Phil & Linda White, Colorado Springs
Dr Ed, happy 78th birthday. May the Lord super bless you with a great year. Thank you for your love and sacrifice for the Kingdom of God. Nancy and I value your relationship. God bless you,
Love, Nancy & Sam Webb
Ed, you help me believe that the impossible dream is possible. Thank you a million times!! Much love, Ryan
Feliz Cumpleanos. Thank you for speaking at our church over 20 years ago when you daughter and family lived here in Stockton.
Blessings
Pastor Bill Cummins

Happy Birthday! Your example of being a father and grandfather, as well as a visionary master-builder is inspirational. You have carved a path that many are presently walking in. Have a great day and a “kingdom mischief ” filled year.
Happy Birthday! Your life, your ministry, your marriage, and your family are living testimony of your faithfulness to God. I see many more blessings coming in the immediate near future. Open your arms to receive all the bounty of love that the Lord Jesus wants to release! Yes and Amen.
Papa Ed, I no longer see church or even my relationship with God the same, because of you! Thank you for being a transformation breeding ground for believers. Happiest birthday! May God do wonders in your golden years, that will make yesterday’s best pale in comparison.
Happy Birthday Mr Silvoso, thanks for inspiring many with your consistency in teachings in ‘making disciples of all nations’ in the market place.
Blessings

Happiest God-Blessed 78th Birthday to a very special brother in the Lord.
Ed, we will forever be grateful to the Lord for sending you over to our home, (by bike) to disciple us, when you were only given two months to live! The memories of our girls being friends and then our trip to Argentina in 1984 are all highlights in our hearts. We love you, we love your heart for the Lord, we love your family, and we pray God’s greatest blessings in your life.
Much LOVE,
The Dauers- Monte & Marci
Happiest Birthday ever Ed Silvoso🎉🎂❣️
You have given me a life changing experience with the Ekklesia Excelerator course in how I view how Jesus and his disciples reached people through the market place. Thank you and Ruth for being such wonderful examples of living in the glory of our Lord. May we all catch your fire, especially to celebrate the gift you are for your birthday.
Love and blessings🙏🏻💞
May God richly bless you on your birthday. Thank you for inspiring me over many years to believe God for greater things than I can even ask or think. You are a world changer that infects others to do and be likewise. Blessings!
About 2 years ago, my husband and I were invited by Word Alive to join in the Eccelerator class. “Meeting” Ed and sitting under his teaching was transformational for us. Forever, we are grateful to WAIO for the invitation and to Mr. Ed for these teachings. God continue to bless you Ed, as you endeavor to reach the world with Fathers love and the Gospel. Be strong in the Lord, in your body soul and Spirit. We love and respect you. May this birthday be the most memorable of all.
Randy and Kathy Salter, New Jersey
Ed, I have so enjoyed and been inspired by the Ekklesia Excelerator. It has opened my eyes more to the church as the Ekklesia and transformation. Thank you for your continued leadership in the Kingdom. Happy 78th Birthday!!
A very Happy Birthday dear Ed, How deeply grateful I am to God for equipping you and entrusting you with His Ekklesia. Your example, teaching and drive for His Kingdom has encouraged me to sow His provision and come back for refills over and over again. You are beyond the energizing bunny. There are no limits!! The Ekklesia Excelerator training is so key to everyone, whether they know it or not. I pray His strength in your soul and spirit. As together, we reach the Nations for Jesus. Enjoy your special day and new journey year ahead.
We wish you a wonderful, joy filled Birthday. What an amazing journey so far with MORE to COME we’re sure. My wife, Treva and I were so honored when you came to our church a few years ago in NC. What a blessing and deposit you made. Thank you for encouraging us not to live on past glory filled pursuits, but to run our race for the present and future. You have made a huge imprint and impact on the lives of many..
Happy 78th birthday Ed! You are such an inspiration! I really enjoyed and learn so much from your books and Ekkesia Excelerator Thank you
Ed, you have been such a blessing—your books, leadership, grace, tender heart, and consistency in encouraging others to reach higher and go further in God’s Kingdom. Many many blessings and happy birthday.
I am so encouraged by Ed, his vigor and vision as I am a senior, working with homeless, refusing to retire! Blessings on your birthday and carry on in His power and strength!
Dear Elder/ Evangelist Ed Silvoso:
Happy Birthday!
I remember you were our camp speaker when I was a teenager attending CCIC in San Jose, California and responding to your altar call.
You are an inspiration and encouragement to many in the kingdom of God!
May God bless you with long life and joy and happiness!
Shalom,
Charles Huang
A glorious birthday to you! May you exult in the Lord’s goodness overflowing in you and from you. We continue to gain strength and encouragement–increased spiritual muscle mass—from you and Ruth, and from your whole family as we watch, listen, and implement the wisdom you impart. We especially relish seeing the younger generation step into their God-given place, proclaiming and living out God’s truth and love.
Happy Birthday Dr. Ed. May God continue to bless you with health, strength and financial security in Jesus’s name
Happy Birthday Ed. I have such fond memories of many years of life and ministry with you, trips to Asia, ministry in the South Bay, and countless alone times driving in cars or sitting on porches, talking and sharing together. I am forever grateful and a different man because of that. When I was in Singapore last month sharing with 25 asian business leaders, I taught on thing that have become part of the fabric of my life, and many of them came from you. The influence you have had and are having and will have on this planet is more far reaching than any of us could know. Probably better that way. Someone once said, “perfume is ok to be smelled, but you don’t want to drink it”. Love, David
We have walked together as transformation partners for nearly 30 years. Other than my parents, no one has been more supportive, instrumental and impacting in my life than you, Ed. Happy 78th Birthday and many more. The best is yet to come!
Papa Silvoso, Feliz Cumpleanos! I have been so blessed through you and Ruth! I was especially blessed to sit between the two of you recently at a leader’s meeting, and I was doubly blessed as you anointed me and then went around the circle and anointed me again. The Presence of God, the Greatest Blessing, has impacted me more deeply to bless all those around me and my neighborhood in San Francisco!
Happy blessed birthday Pr Ed! Thank you for sharing your life, your teachings even to where we are in Malaysia. I sill remember attending a conference where you taught in Sibu, Sarawak. Your passion for Jesus is contagious! May our heavenly Father bless with you excellent health all the days of your life and may He continue to use you in an even greater measure.
Happy birthday to a mighty and highly favored man of God!! My family and I, highly respect and value you so much for being a cargo vessel of the Truth of God’s Word and for passing on what you have received from The Holy Spirit, that still continues to bless and empower many nations, including Thailand and The Philippines. We are praying for you to receive the noblest and best gift from our Lord Jesus, for good health and longevity, and for everything you need and desire, to the glory of God our Father and for the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for the awesome books and teachings that made us understand the Word of God better, and spurred us to be Marketplace Ministers and fullfill our true calling and have Ekklesia everywhere! May God bless you and keep you and continue to make His Face upon you, Sister Ruth, and the whole Silvoso family and your TOW family worldwide.
Dear Dr Ed, many blessings on your 78th birthday. Thank you so very much for being true the call of God upon your life. Your faithfulness has built a powerful testimony and a legacy that has impacted us all in a significant way, as you have shared the revelations that the Lord has given you. My prayer for you is that your eyes will see the fruit of your ministry throughout the earth, and that the Lord will give you the exuberant joy of fulfilment. I salute you and honour you as a general in the work of the Lord God Almighty.
Dearest Ed,
A very happy and blessed birthday to you! Always a great joy and tremendous blessing to listen to you and be around you! God has blessed you with a unique ability to communicate the Gospel in such relevant and practical ways!
May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry as you so faithfully serve Him!
Happy Birthday Ed, thank you for your ministry to the people of Hong Kong and China and sharing the teaching God gave you that you put into practice. The greatest of which is what is so close to the Lord’s heart, His EKKLESIA.
Thank you for taking time to write it together with Ruth’s help and following the path that God gave you in the trail of the revelations in these books you wrote. Thank you so much and many many more years to be a blessing to many.
Happy 78th Birthday Dr. Ed, the best is yet to come!
Ed, ABBA’s parented you well! You therefore have and are parenting from His Well of Life! Thank you for welcoming His invitation to “surrender into Identity” and then steward His ownership and authority all over the world! Well done ABBA, well done Ed!
Happy Birthday, Ed! Your life and passion for Jesus are so inspiring! I believe we all should live like you as we age chronologically. With the wisdom you have gained and all the Lord has done through you, you have a wealth on all levels to teach others. You are not wasting one ounce of what the Lord has done in and though you. This is very admirable. Thank you for your ministry! and most importantly, how you live! I have just read more details of your life from your family member. It is just what I needed to hear at this stage of my life. Bless you! as words cannot describe how grateful I am for your inspiration of how you faithfully walk with Jesus. May the Lord surprisingly bless you with more and deeper of His amazing ways.
We are so blessed to be in the presence of this man of God. I live in Florida and when I knew he was at Word of Life in Fort Myers I was so exited to be able to hear him live. I am so thankful that I wad able to be in his presence. He imbues much hope and love in all his words, so inspirational and all I could say to him was thank you for coming to our state.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU DR. ED , YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION TO MY FAMILY. I’M MOST THANKFUL FOR THE DAY PAS.SUSAN JONES INTRODUCED ME TO TRANSFORM YOUR WORLD, ITS BEEN SUCH A BLESSING. YOUR WISDOM AND DEDICATION HAS REALLY HELPED ME TO HELP OTHER FAMILIES IN MY SHPERE OF INFLUENCE. MAY THE HAND OF THE LORD CONTINUE TO REST HEAVILY UPON YOU, EXPAND YOUR TERRITORIES AND BLESS YOUR FAMILY AS YOU CELEBRATE THIS NEW SEASON OF YOUR LIFE.
Dr. Silvoso, clearly, you are fulfilling the purpose for which you were sent into the world. May the light of God’s countenance continue to shine upon, and through you across the nations.
During my time with you, and in the years following, I’ve never been in a room with you and not feel inspired, encouraged, and provoked in my faith, vision, and purpose in life. Rare are those with such a gift of encouragement. You have put fresh vision and empowering strength into Christina and me — and many, many others. Your genuine care and compassion for people has challenged me to step out of comfort and reach out to bless others with the love of God. The Slukas are indebted to you and Ruth for sowing into our lives during formative years. Thank you! We wish you a happy birthday and celebrate you today.
Happy happy birthday to you Ed!!! I celebrate who you are today and the gift that you are. I’m grateful for the life that you live and the message of transformation – it is such a powerful affirmation for people like me and lights a fire in me to show up in my sphere of influence for God and the people I get to serve. Thank you for inviting me into your life and to spend time with you and the family; I always leave with an impartation of the most important expression of the Ekklesia, the family. I love and appreciate you, happy birthday again and here’s to many many more!!
Happy Birthday! You may not know me but I was introduced to you many years ago when I was a young mother and young Christian. Your words of loving others and serving others were so powerful. Your teachings through the Ekklesia Excelerator were so moving, inspiring, and true. You are a great teacher, who inspires, challenges, and brings understanding to Jesus’s purpose for us here on Earth. Thank you so much for your years of dedication and simply loving us and the world. May the Lord bless you richly for you are a great servant-leader of His. Happy Birthday from Hawaii!
Happy Birthday Ed Silvoso,
You have inspired my family to believe in the unseen yet ever working hand of God and His miracles, His timing, His plans! May you be blessed with many more fruitful and abundant years ahead!
Happy, Happy Birthday! Every day in my life is richer because you are in it Ed. You are a spiritual father to many, an apostolic leader to nations, and an innovator to the Church worldwide. On behalf of myself, my family, and our At Work on Purpose ministry, thank you for inspiring us to the “immeasurably more” that God has in store.
Happy birthday Ptr. Ed…and our God give you more B-days to come!
Happy birthday, Ed. You and your wife have been good mentors, examples of faith, certainly with a strong ‘charismatic bent’ in all of my influences, as well as one of but a few people I know on this planet, who truly embody what I call “Obedient Nations” as a much-neglected form of our so-called ‘great commission.’ Thank you so much for all you’ve written in this regard, for your family skills and for continuing to motivate people around the world with your steady stream of great, Word-oriented teaching on the wonders of God’s mighty promises and works!
Happy Birthday Dr. Ed! It has been such a delight getting to know you and your wonderful family better over the last few months. You truly are an example of a social reformer and someone I admire and look up to immeasurably. I am very much looking forward to the next time we meet! Warmest, Eduardo
Wishing a very anointed and blessed birthday Papa Ed. You have been such an encouragement to me . Your very first prayer and prophetic word to me and as i went thru the prayer tunnel back in 2016 encouraged me so much and was the begaing of the many breakthroughs God had in store for me. And still today keeps me going when I’m facing battles and I feel like giving up. So thank you so very much, I Love You So Very Much Papa Ed!!!
Happy Birthday, Ed,
I love the way you mentor faithfully the next generation of World Changers!
Have a Blessed Birthday!
Happy Birthday to our most beloved spiritual father. Wishing you every blessing for good health and prosperity in all you do. Thank you for your example in ministry, in marriage and in fatherhood. We love you so much.

Gracias por tu vida y ministerio, por todo lo aportado a España, sabiduría y estrategia, también Los viajes hechos con Ruth, visitando y “comiendo” juntos con Ruth, en muchas partes de España y Portugal. Bendecido cumple. Te amamos. Ap. Emilio Sevilla
I think the first time I met you was when you and the Harvest team led an intercessory prayer in the City Hall of Portsmouth, England. Not long after that I attended your seminar that was held in Hong Kong when you introduced your new book “Women, God’s Secret Weapon”.
Happy Birthday to dearest Papa Ed that is charming, talented and inspiring. Thank you for your immense dedication to leading everyone to be the Ekklesia. Wishing you and your loved ones overflowing with Jesus’ abundant and everlasting joy everywhere & everyday!
Happy 78th Birthday Ed! May you be blessed with many more along with good health. You are the so inspirational and spirit lead. I first learned of the Ekklesia through your books and continue to be inspired by all that you do for the kingdom of God. Thank you for leading the way. Thank you for being our spiritual Father..
Happy birthday dear Ed. It is such a blessing to know you. Thank you for modelling what it looks like to be an excellent husband, father and top drawer leader. Our lives are so much better because of you. Our vision has been enlarged by what you see and believe; because of you, maintenance mode just isn’t an option. Keep going please for many years more. Every blessing and much love.

What a great day to celebrate one of God’s treasures! Indeed, every time I hear you speak, Pastor Ed, I come away blessed and blown away by the deep spiritual insights the Lord downloads to you! And I am so thankful that as I attempt to apply the things I learn, I get to experience so much more joy, freedom and depth in my walk with the Lord! Your example of looking at the gifts God has put in your hands and then pushing forward to partner with what He desires has been inspiring and pushes us to not be afraid to step into the new things He may call us to. May you enjoy many days of wonder as you continue your great journey with the awesome God!
Dear Ed,
You have fathered many spiritual children. Your life is an inspiration to many. My life has been changed an enriched by becoming a part of TOW.
May God bless you with many more years of health and strength to continue inspiring others to follow in your footsteps to see the Kingdom come and generations to be brought into the Kingdom.
Love and blessings,
Nancy Esbenshade
Happy Birthday Ed! We are so thankful for your mentorship and friendship in our lives. Clint and I are honored to run with you and Ruth in this season. Praying this will be a season of dreams fulfilled for you!!! Many Blessings and much love! Jen Adams
We love you, Ed & pray huge birthday blessings over you! Your life example, encouragement and friendship is an amazing gift to us! May the years ahead continue to bring refreshing in the midst of running for His Kingdom & glory! Your life & Jesus IN YOU lights up this world!
Love in Christ,
Brent & Kiwi Bielenberg
Happy Birthday Ed! You have changed my life, & that is affecting my church, and my community around me. While my body would like me to sit home & “chill” in front of the TV or read a good book, my spirit says, “GO”, so I go out, and with a team of intercessors, we reach out to our first responders to tell them God loves them and people appreciate them & are praying for them. All because you, Ed, convinced us that God doesn’t want us staying in the 4 walls of a building, but the Ekklesia goes out into the community. You are a faithful servant of our Most High God, and He is using you to change the world. God bless you & Ruth and your ‘ohana as you celebrate 78 years of LIFE! I love & appreciate you,
Happy Birthday to our very special person Ed! May God continue blessing you as you are blessing others! May God’s light continue shining bright upon you and your family for all to see! We love you and have a very blessed day!
Blessings and lots of love,
Michael and Carla
Happy 78th birthday, Grandpa Ed! You are a blessing and inspiration to us. Sending love and warmth from the Philippines.

Happy Birthday Dr. Ed. You have become such a spiritual Father and friend to Jen and I. We have been so blessed by your love of God, love of family and the love you have for your friends. We pray blessings of health over you for this season of your life and longevity to fulfill the calling and mandate that God has given you. We will never be the same having known you and heard your message on the Ekklesia. I pray that we can carry what you have taught and imparted in a way that will honor you and make you proud. We love you dearly. Clint and Jen
HAPPY 78TH BIRTHDAY DR. ED!!! Your teachings and the life you’ve lived, faithful and passionately serving the Lord, your wife and family, have been inspiring. Who would have thought that your “yes” to Jesus would impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across the globe!?! Your Heavenly Father did! It has truly been a blessing and an honor to watch you over the years and be a part of TOW. My life has been forever changed. You have run your race with excellence. May the Lord continue to increase your strength, wisdom, and vision as you continue to run for His glory. May the presence of the Holy Spirit upon your life bring you to new levels of intimacy and Godly fire. On your special day, may you know how much you are loved not merely for what you’ve accomplished, but because of who you are as a beloved son of God. Once again, Happy Birthday Dr. Ed! God bless you, now and always. With love, Asaya A.
Thanks Ed for your input and inspiration to the church in Adelaide on several occasions.

Your ministry to me, my family and all of Hawaii is nothing short of miraculous! Thank you for your ministry to all of us!
Pappa Ed, blessing another year of walking with you and the LORD in ministry to see nations discipled and the Kingdom of GOD advancing across the globe. So thankful for you and Ruth to continue to set an incredible example of a GODLY marriage along with your family legacy of spiritual blessings with your children and grandchildren (loved seeing the grandaugthers on Pentacost night). We love and appreciate the Silvoso house and the 19 years of friendship and look forward to more Holy Ghost “mischief” in the years to come. Love Doug and Leslie Walton

It has been such a joy to partner with you & all of TOW these past years. Looking forward to the more that is to come!
May the Lord bless you and keep you & cause His face to shine upon you all of your days! Happiest of Birthdays to you!
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.”
Psalms 1:1-3 NIV
Dear Ed, it is so exciting to see the word of God fulfilled in your life. Thank you for organizing, so many incredible experience, which draw us closer to Him. Thank you for the amazing experience of Argentina. God’s blessings on you as you continue to serve him and look to an exciting and vibrant future.
Respectfully, yours, Al and Karen Fritz.
Wow! Seven+ decades of bringing God’s Kingdom to Earth! Thank you Ed, I am one of those who have been mightily affected by your (and Ruth’s) ministry. Happy 78th Birthday!
Beloved Ed, you have ministered to me and Alan since we met you in 1998! Your enthusiasm for the Lord and His kingdom, and your faithfulness to speak HIS promises (while we let the Holy Spirit speak to us) have been a source of strength and guidance to us as we have made our home and work Ekklesias!
We were beyond blessed to have lunch with you and Ruth, Ed and Marilyn as we celebrated 50 years of marriage!
May God continue His excellent work in and through your life to His glory and honour!
We love you dearly in the Lord Jesus!
Mary Ellen and Alan
Papa Ed,
Ever since I experienced your ministry, Harvest Evangelism in 1995 at the Ilikai Hotel in Waikiki, my walk with the LORD, evangelism, seeing radical change in our families, workplaces, government and the whole community has never been the same. I feel like I was introduced to a higher dimension for the average Christian. You show us the ways of God and the Holy Spirit, the tools to bring the change. Your devotion & love for JESUS, undying commitment to serve HIM and NO compromise integrity, has empowered me and many others. I love your relationship with Father God and how you model that close and intimate friendship, making it easy to follow your example. No matter how bad the world looks, how hopeless, how overwhelming, how dangerously close to self destructing, you and your ministry with Transform Our World was the ONLY lighthouse I could see, to find my way and have hope and an optimism that “we are hard pressed but not crushed”.You always showed me, but GOD….. and nuff said! I’m immediately reminded that HE is bigger than anything and anybody and HE is partnering with each of us to do the part of praying and HE will do HIS part of the impossible. ONLY GOD could do what none of us can, and only we can pray to move HIS hand to accomplish the impossible. Thank you so much for being there for all of us. I’m so privilege, myself and my family, are so grateful for you! Happy Birthday and many blessings returning to you. Aloha, from Lahaina, Maui and the entire Clark Ohana
Hi Ed! Happy, happy birthday! I celebrate you in who you are, and all the lives you have touched and impacted all over the world, and in the kingdom of God!

Happy Birthday Ed , Thank you for your visit with me and my parents way back in the 70s it has inspired me in ways i did not even know at that time and gave me a heart for missions I have been om more than 10 short term mission trips Many of those trips i Feel have been highlights of my walk with Christ with many more to come
Happy Birthday, Papa Ed!
I’m constantly inspired by your all-in love for our Lord! You have given your heart and soul to serve God, and helped to transform my experience as a child of God. May our Lord bless you specially on your birthday. and extend your Caleb anointing. Amen
Dear Dr. Ed, You have been such an inspiration to my family! We love your teaching, your testimonies and your books! We are grateful that God has extended your life & sphere of influence. We pray that the Lord will fill your cup to overflowing in this next year of life! I bless you with Psalm 91:14-16:
“Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
Bendiciones, Dana Reginato :)
I’m a little late to this party, but I hope you had the happiest of birthdays, Papa Ed! Big hugs from Pennsylvania.
Dear EdDad,
I hope “better late than never” is acceptable for me to wish you a filial blessing as you continue on after your birthday. Your influence in my life and walk with the Lord (and of course, ministry) is irreplaceable. Very, very little time goes by in which what you have sown into me does not show this influence. Most people can’t say that about anyone they know personally; but because of you, I can, and I’m grateful. So, as I and the rest of the saints here celebrate your years which have touched our lives, the best I can think to pray over you is something that you have said over all of us…that “the best is yet to come”!
Love,
HijoDimitri
