121. Marilyn Ryan says...
I just want to say that I am so proud to find a man of God who is willing to stand upon the entire Word of God. This boldness must be from God and a heart that is willing to obey His every command. Your job that God has laid upon your heart will require committment and dedication to the will of God. I will pray that God will continu to give you a Back Bone that will stand in the evil days to do all that He commands you to do. I ask also that people will pray for your protection over you as God covers you with His wings. I just love the Halloween video. Amen Brother...We are finding that Churches are supporting Halloween everywhere and we need to get this message out to everyone who will listen. I did post it on my facebook and I pray that God will just use this video to convict people and draw them back to the reality of Idolatry.

Pastor Jerry's powerpoints and sermon's took our ministry to another level. As a working pastor it is very difficult to put sermons together on a regular basis. Pastor Jerry took all the guess work out of it with timely upbeat sermons and amazing PowerPoints. we bought one of his series DVD that had far more on it that we paid for, and it blessed us tremendously! There are many sermons and PowerPoints that he simply gives away free (unheard of in this day and time) as a result of all the free knowledge we've received our church will tithe 10% of what we take in to Grace B.C.

25. Kevin Elswick says...
Pastor Jerry has been a great help for my ministry. I am a by-vocational pastor. In my vocation I use Power Point Presentations all the time. I took a class on how people lean and found that most people are visual learners. Pastor Jerry’s Power Points are very helpful to teach these messages of God. His down to earth messages and the power that God has given him to write and present them is a blessing to me and then to my church as I share them. I add to them as the Sprit of God gives me so I guess my congregation is getting the best of both of us. I would encourage everyone to use his messages. He is very grounded in his beliefs and seeks to lift up our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
