My Dear Beloved Brother,<\/p>\n
I give greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am from India. Your site provides good sermons and gives me more information. I am learning and also teaching in our congregation. The information you provide is very useful in our spiritual life. Please continue your gospel work.<\/p>\n
Once again, thank you.<\/p>\n\t
I’m glad the efforts here are helping brethren in many places.<\/p>\n\t
I am so grateful for your wonderful reply and so happy for the gospel work you are doing in the Lord’s service. We do not have elders in nearby congregations. This is our main situation, and for this reason, we are not in God’s plan perfectly and without proper teaching of the truth. We have been hearing about elders and their position in the Heavenly Father’s plan.<\/p>\n
God bless each one of us. Once again, thank you.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
