Marilyn Hickey Ministries

Marilyn Hickey Ministries is identified in the book through the endorsement of its president, Dr. Marilyn Hickey. Its connection to Don't Leave God Alone is not merely institutional: Hickey describes the book as an experience that personally renewed her determination to press into God, then recommends it as a long-term spiritual impetus for readers who want to continue seeking God until blessing comes.

Leadership and Institutional Identity

Marilyn Hickey Ministries is associated with Marilyn Hickey, who is named as its president. The same endorsement also identifies her as the founding pastor of Orchard Road Christian Center, placing the organization within a pastoral and ministry setting rather than presenting it as a detached publishing or advocacy body. The available evidence does not provide a fuller organizational structure, staff list, geographic scope, or program catalogue, but it clearly establishes Hickey's leadership and her public authority as the ministry's representative.

Hickey's Personal Encounter with the Book

Hickey reports that she read Don't Leave God Alone while traveling in South Africa. Although she says that she had pressed into God throughout her Christian life, the book affected her so strongly that she read it in a single day and could not put it down. Its effect continued into the evening: after reading it, she preached while still energized and inspired by its message. Her testimony therefore functions as more than praise of the book's content; it presents the book as capable of renewing even an experienced Christian minister's spiritual intensity.

Public Recommendation and Intended Effect

Hickey directly challenges readers to read Don't Leave God Alone, describing its influence as a long-term ripple effect and as the push a person's life may need to hold on to God until blessing arrives. This recommendation aligns the ministry with the book's central language of persistence. Prayer is portrayed not as a brief religious duty but as sustained pursuit, especially when an answer has not yet appeared and discouragement might otherwise lead a believer to withdraw.

The book extends that appeal beyond Hickey's individual testimony. It teaches that people who have failed repeatedly in prayer should not hide from God or abandon prayer out of shame, and it presents persistent prayer as an attitude of refusing to accept an apparent refusal. The ministry's endorsement reinforces this pastoral movement from discouragement to renewed action: readers are urged to press forward rather than interpret delay, failure, or spiritual weariness as grounds for giving up.

Ministry, Commitment, and Spiritual Activation

Marilyn Hickey Ministries' role in the book is therefore one of endorsement and activation. Alongside other ministry leaders, it helps frame Don't Leave God Alone as material intended to awaken prayer, not simply explain it. The book argues that persistent prayer can affect personal circumstances, families, cities, nations, and future generations; Hickey's response supplies a ministerial witness to the claim that its message can produce immediate energy and a continuing commitment to seek God.

The book's closing appeal develops the same trajectory into a decision for readers who may not yet know Jesus Christ personally. It invites them to begin an intimate relationship with Him, spend quality time with Him daily, receive forgiveness, and commit themselves to Christian discipleship. The concluding prayer asks the reader to pursue God persistently and to choose not to leave Him alone until blessing comes. Marilyn Hickey Ministries is not presented as the author of that prayer or as the organizer of the appeal, but its endorsement stands within the same evangelistic pattern: teaching becomes testimony, testimony becomes exhortation, and exhortation seeks a concrete response.
