Hello Pastor Melvin, Greetings to you and to your dear family in Jesus' precious name. Since four / five years I have been studying your messages and getting blessed. Each message you kept on the Sermon Central website is a great blessing to me. I sometimes use some of that stuff in my messages too. Though we didn't see each other you have been my mentor through your messages. I thank God for that and a BIG THANK YOU to you. On a personal note - I am Pastor Divakar Devasahay from India. I have planted and have been pastoring our church for the last 24 years and the church is continually growing in spirit and numbers too. By the grace of God we planted 79 other churches so far in totally unreached Indian regions. Our vision is to plant 110 churches by the year 2015. Please pray and encourage us in the Lord. In His Kingdom service, Divakar Devasahay 8-1-95/1, Pedda Waltair, Visakhapatnam - 530017 IndiaOU -

Pastor Newland, you are the kind of person who comes to mind when I think of today's apostles. You have a passion to build the body of Christ. Thank you for your messages which have encouraged so many others. I think you were one of the very first pastors I read when I came to Sermon chentral many years ago.

May the Lord richly bless you for your visionary contributions. Your facilitation ministry multiplies the ministries of many in both quantity and quality. Your example is worthy of Heb 13:7: "Remember those who led you who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith." May the Lord help us all to do imitate your faith. Blessings, Paul Fritz Ph.D.
