My goodness, I can tell you this my faithful pastor, friend, brother in Christ, you have been the most influential person in my life in regards to pointing me to Jesus Christ. You have taught me to keep my eyes on truth. The absolute importance, authority of God’s word. You have played a major role in helping me to see who I am in Christ. To know Christ and make Him known!

“Wherever you are, be fully there!” This is clearly seen each time you are teaching, every time I have had a conversation with you.

I have been a part of Calvary Chapel for almost 18 years and I want you to know I see commitment from you to the point of pain and thru pain. You and your precious family. THANK YOU!!
Thank you for keeping hope in Christ alive!
God bless you beyond measure!

Hi Pastor Greg,
The Lord encouraged me to share this verse with you after reading it these morning in Acts 5:41-42.The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of the suffering disgrace for the Name (the Cause of Christ). Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is Christ.

In Acts 4 :29 it says,” Now, Lord,consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.”

Greg, these verses express Christ’s character in you!
Since God is for you,Greg, who in this world could possibly be against you? I ask. And if there are some-these people are totally plotting in vain. It’s not you they are against, Greg. It is Someone much bigger than themselves. Woe to them.

May this conference for pastors be a total blessing to you.
The Lord is surrounding me both now and forevermore as I write this.

Pastor Greg, I do not think I would be a Christian had I not heard you that fateful day being interviewed on the radio. That was over 14+ years ago. I praise God for you and what He places on your heart to teach us continually. I pray that we all have ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart to understand the depth of it all. Thank you with all my heart. Blessings & hugs

What encouragement and enlightenment! What a model the apostle Paul is. And keep up the “sacred task” you have been called to pastor Greg. God Bless you!

Excellent letter! I have grown under your teaching and preaching of the death of Jesus on the Cross and what it means. That’s why I can’t sit through certain songs at the beginning of Sunday’s service without tears falling! He did so much, for such as I. What a pitiful thing I am that He should love me and die for me! Thank you for being my Pastor!

Love in Christ,
Barb

P.S. One day the Lord will make a way for my husband to attend services with me. I’m anxiously awaiting that time….but His will be done, not mine.
