Dee Todd Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi everyone, my name is Dee and I am from Dayton, Ohio. I love studying the Bible and yet this is my first on-line study. I am really excited about how God can use this wonderful technology to spread His message all over the world and how we can share in studying the same message together. Thank you Pastor Ralph for your devotion to us as your "sheep" and your love for the Word. Blessing to all! dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 I just want to thank you Pastor Ralph for the joy and comfort you have given to myself and so many others through your wonderful studies. We are all greatly blessed by your efforts and availability to the Lord's will and work. I have been battling Hepatitis C the whole time I have been involved with your studies plus a few years before, ten altogether, and your studies have been a weapon in the fight against this virus. My wife a teacher of 22 years here in South Florida has recently suffered a sudden onset of mental illness that none of us saw coming and we do not know if she will ever be able to teach again, this is a very bad thing. She has been Teacher of the Year three times and has helped literally hundreds of high school kids get through those troubling years and all in the public school forum. My 15 year old son is really suffering as he just can't get his mind or faith around what has happened since Thanksgiving. We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we travel this difficult road and search for God's will in all this. We are planning a move back to California this summer to be closer to family so perhaps one day we will visit your Church, a day I would truly cherish. I will always be praying for your ministry and if the Lord opens a window he has yet to open we will be able to support you financially as this is a work worthy of digging deep into our pockets. I hope all the other saints here realize that people from all over the world can sow and reap the riches you have planted for us with the Lord's help. Again thank you for all you give us.

Evelyn van der Merwe Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi, I'm Evelyn from Welkom in the heart of South Africa. I attend a Free Baptist Church and am very excited about this Bible Study. I've never done a Bible Study this way, never even chatted by computer!

Vickie Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi: I'm Vickie, from New Mexico (yes, that's in the United States for those of you who failed geography! ) This study is going to be great! I think we Christians should all be grounded in the Old Testament. I'm so tired of all the junk that we're being bombarded with constantly on TV and radio, so I'm really looking forward to this study! Like I tell my husband, "Garbage in, garbage out." Time to start putting in some good stuff! (My husband and I and our 4 children attend a 1st Baptist church near our home.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda S. Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi ya'll! I am Linda from Lubbock, TX. This is exciting to be able to study with other Believers from all over the country. Thanks to those who made it possible to use this media to worship the Lord! I have studied Judges and it was one of my favorite studies because there are so many applications for today. I know Gideon will be insightful and inspiring. I am a wife of 31 years, a mother to two grown sons and two daughters-in-law, grandmother to one grandson age 1 and one on the way, teacher of dyslexic students, and a Southern Baptist. What a special way to begin the New Year by studying God's Word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lois Turley Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 My name is Lois. I'm from the beautiful hill country of western Arkansas. I've been involved in Pastor Ralph's Bible studies before. God has used him in a great way to impact my own life. I am excited about the study of Judges. I studied Judges many years ago and was blessed by it. Not long after I signed up for this study, I felt strongly led by the Lord to get involved in another Bible study as well. I almost didn't do the second one, since I felt I couldn't commit to both because of time. But I am thankful that I did. The other study is helping me be in a state of mind to learn what God has for me as Pastor Ralph guides us through the study of Gideon. And God has made a way for me to do both. I know he will give us each just what we individually need as we apply the teaching to our hearts. I have already been blessed this morning as I read the first lesson in the study of Gideon. Looking forward to the blessings, Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia A. Conti Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi. I'm Pat and I'm from Waterloo, Iowa. I first stumbled onto this Bible Study while looking through the internet. I really enjoyed the study on Luke, although I didn't post much. I'm Catholic and I love the Lord. I have several special needs children at home, so it is hard for me to get out on a steady basis. I am grateful to be able to study on line. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
