      From a 7 year old -

      Thanks you for the coats you gave me.  Thank you for the stickers, sticker album, the cat tray, the clothes, the iron, the juice and the other stuff.  We really enjoy it.  I like you (Teresa) and Max a lot!  All the stuff was a Jesus gift.  After you left mom held her things like they were her toys or something.
      Love, Neely.

      An E-mail from an emotionally distressed woman in a distant city:

      "Thank you so much for responding.  By the mere fact that you responded shows me that God cares.  Thank you and continue to pray that I will get a miracle."

      From an attorney in Tulsa, OK

      I must say, the more I look at your web page, the more I am impressed. 

      I ended up on your Current Needs page and got touched by John Parker. How is he doing and when is the last time you have talked to him? 
      It is amazing to me that God is in control, and even though to us it looks like things are bleak, he has a plan. I mean if you take John, from the story it sounds like he is adjusting to his new circumstances. 

      That is God's grace and love, being actively displayed on a human level. I also loved the following note.

      Be an active partner with the Holy Spirit - willing for the Spirit to change your agenda and your priorities to line up more with God's desires. 

      So many times I feel like I have an agenda and need to get my priorities done. Wow, that is not serving God that is serving myself. What is important to God might not be getting my car washed, or my grocery shopping done right then. It might be ministering to someone in need. 

      My prayer for this week, is that I will put my priorities aside and let God's priorities take over. I know that you probably have no idea how many lives God has touched through this ministry. I just want to encourage you to keep on doing what you're doing, because in the correct time my eyes were opened for a blessing and you had been obedient to God to be the messenger of that blessing.

      From a student in Minnesota

      Dee,  I want to thank you for your strong Christian presence on the web and giving me hope that there are a few people in this nation that do take God and His Word seriously.

      I found time this morning to look at the page that you referred me too. WOW! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. 

      I know that there are many verses in the Bible on this topic, but I am running short on time and I really want to present a good presentation.

      Thanks a lot, you saved me probably 4-8 hours of work. I don't have a lot of extra time these days. I have a full-time job (Database Administration Manager) and I spend some time each night helping the Somalian war refugee families who are moving to our town.

      My presentation is on the topic of what our "Missions Group" is doing locally. It will be given to our church (3600 members). Thanks again.

      From a ministry in San Antonio

      So many Christian ministries out there have fund raising tactics that are immoral or unethical.  So many people who say they are Christians don't act like it at all. 

      Last October I met with a man who is one of the city leaders of a nationally well known ministry.  This was not in San Antonio.  [This was in regard to getting support for her budding ministry]

      I was told by him that I HAD to create fund raising letters with very sad stories, send them to Pastor's homes (not the church) so his wife would read the letter and then entice her husband to support my ministry.  When I mentioned George Mueller, this Christian leader yelled at me and said if I didn't do that I would not get money. I don't believe God wants me to use manipulation to raise funds. 

      We decided that we wanted this ministry to be based more on the way he fund raised (trusting God), instead of the way the world seems to be fund raising.  I often feel like I am totally alone.  I rarely meet a person who truly trusts in the Lord and is willing to do anything God may call that person to do.  It is therefore really refreshing to meet someone who is putting into practice what the Bible commands us to do.

      Thanks for putting up this web.  Also I am grateful for your e-mails of encouragement.  We have never met, but I feel that you are a friend.
