Hello John, I want to thank you for your faithfulness to the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. I'm one of the thousands you have blessed. First, I want to apologize to you for my first time meeting you face to face in the SF Bay Area where you came to preach many years ago on behalf of KFAX. I apologize for shaking your hand longer than you wanted me too from a stranger and yet a brother in the Lord. Initially I wanted to give you hug but I know that would not go over well since you don't know me. You have blessed me in ways you could not imagine and I know you hear this very same saying often as I know I'm not the only one who appreciates sound biblical teaching that comes from your preaching and teaching. I'm a pastor of a small church in Milpitas California here in the Bay Area. Agape Bible Christian Fellowship. I've been preaching the gospel for 22 years and when I first started preaching, I was a topical preacher in a Baptist Church. However, the last 21 years from listening to you and changing my preaching is because of you. I love expositional teaching because it is clearly to me, the best way a believer can learn and retain the wonderful truth's that flow from scripture. I pray that God continues to use you for His Glory and I wanted to personally thank you.
Pastor Andre
P.S. I've also attended the Shepherd's Conference back in 2013. I hope to attend again soon, Lord willing.
