  1. Dear Friend in Christ

    I have just finished reading the lovely and beautiful and wonderful and inspiring and awesome and encouraging testimony and story of Brother Monty and his family and his grandson.
    I too am suffering from physical and psychological and emotional and mental health issues. I will certainly and I will definitely and I will absolutely pray to my Heavenly Abba Father, that He cure and heal Brother Monty from his cancer and also heal and cure his grandson.
    Thank you so very, very much for sharing this lovely and wonderful and beautiful testimony and story of how God is in the business of saving and of rescuing people from an eternity in Hell and in the Lake of Fire and of Brimstone by accepting the free gift of salvation and unmerited grace and forgiveness of God from our sins and from our rebellion towards Him. May God richly bless you and your family and your loved ones and thank you so very, very much from sharing with me Brother Monty’s testimony and story.

    From your dearest and closest
    Brother and Friend in Christ
    Love in Christ’s
    Name
    Brother Costis Chryssopoulos

Then I read your account of your grandson, Monty. Thank you for showing me myself in the mirror and how to get out of the mire in which I found myself.
    I miss my sweetheart, BUT GOD is helping me every day. Thank you!

    1. Thank you….You are very kind, it was a hard to be so honest. Monty is a beautiful blessing and makes all our lives better because he is with us. Jesus never disappoints when we look at him in love and faith; I’m learning this all the time
