"I would like to thank you dearly for the free gift of books you sent to me sometime ago. Mere words cannot fully describe how much this gift is worth to me. It suffices only to say that they are additional weapons in my big and insurmountable castle of faith in Jesus Christ OUR Lord. Once again thank you and God less you and the ministry that Jesus himself instituted."
From a Web-site surfer-TANZANIA

"For many years she was an avid listener of Face to Face on her local radio station at Swan Hill. When she became housebound, the weekly radio programme became her church and she never missed listening to it. Even when she became hospitalised in the final months of her life she managed to get the nurses in hospital to tune into Face to Face on Sunday mornings so she could listen to it and be strengthened in her faith.

She told many people about her "church" and spoke highly of the programme and its messages. She was a very organised person having raised eight children plus a foster child so made arrangements in her pre-paid funeral plan to leave some money to Lutheran Media Ministry."
From a Pastor

"I have just today received the free copy of Little Shepherd that I requested for my 5 & 3 year old 'grandies'. I am a born again Christian and I'm praying that these 2 little girls & their parents will be too one day-I just want to say 'thank you' for the lovely book and I pray God will bless you and yours, in Jesus' name."
