Comments by others:
  • I had no idea how God would use you to speak to my heart, and the hearts of my daughter, father and loved ones. My daughter started college a year ago and the first year was very difficult for her. She told me often how timely your messages were. My mother passed into His arms on May 2, 2013 and my dad has been touched and comforted by what you've shared. To be God's messenger is an enormous responsibility but you have been an incredible instrument in His orchestra. I will always be in awe how a man I've never met or known could touch my life and the lives of those I love!

  • I have more of a statement than a question. I was not sure where to post this. I wanted to thank this ministry for the several years of encouraging emails. In my current situation I'm not able to go to a local Church. It has been difficult, and I just wanted to share my gratefulness to Pastor Todd's encouragement via those emails. I use to go on Facebook, and I believe the Lord connected me to you folks. I am not able to read each day's message, but when I'm able to I've have many times received exactly what I needed at that time. I have been trying to save them, until I am read. Today I read your devotional about Gideon. It was such try a blessing, I joined the website to post this and ask for specific prayer for healing, to enable me to return to the Mission field. Again thanks for your consistent words of life that you have shared with a stranger, then, and now someone was able to share this. Blessings be upon your future work! David.

  • I have been reading your daily devotionals since 2014 or 2015 but started saving each one in a folder since this one so I could go back and randomly read them. Dion, you and Sylvia have been the beginning of my every day for nearly a decade. You've been there for my lows and lifted my highs even higher. I just wanted to let you know how appreciated you two are by me and the depth in my life you have reached by your obedience to God. With all the love I have.... Thank you.
