Hello sir,<\/p>\n
I talked to you around three and a half years ago. I just want to thank you!<\/p>\n
I grew up an atheist and converted three and a half years ago. Your website was the first step for me to come to faith. I am now training to be a missionary. Without your website, I wouldn’t have been able to get to know God. Thank you for being His hands and feet.<\/p>\n
I would love to come back in contact with you.<\/p>\n
I hope this encouraged you that what you are doing is important.<\/p>\n
Yours faithfully.<\/p>\n\t
Thank you for the encouraging words. I hope you continue to grow in your faith and knowledge of God’s teaching.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
