Dear Brother Paul,

What a wonderful time we had in worship with you and your family on the 9th of this month. I am still seeing the effects of God's work through your ministry to us. I especially enjoyed your humble spirit as God used you and your family in a wonderful ways.

It is impossible for me to know to what extent your ministry has effected our total congregation. However, I have a specific example of one lady who has been struggling for months with a family problem which she blames herself for. She has told us that it was that service you were here she went to the altar as you asked, "Do you want God to make you different?" There at the altar she was finally able to give Christ this problem and found God faithful to help His children. She has since showed the joy of the Lord again and the confidence that God has everything under control. In response to her obedience she received a call from her estranged married daughter, who lives here in town, that she and her boys will be there for Thanksgiving.

I know I have shared just one example but have heard from several what a great encouragement to the entire congregation your music was as well as the spoken words between the songs.

Thank you again for your ministry. Our people are still asking, "We are going to have them back sometime aren't we?" May God bless you richly is our prayer.

I am In Christ,

John Bouldrey
