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. S.W.,Tulsa, OK

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.
B. Marks,
Minnesota

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.
