I was looking up prayer on the Internet and found your website. I visit it daily, and have signed up for a time to pray on the 24-Hr. Prayerchain. Joy, I thought being a Protestant I can never be a monk. But seeing this website I know I can. Thank you. Justine M. (Vienna, Austria)

Dear all at the PF,

I am interested in becoming a monk and have so since my mid-teens when I was exposed to Monastic life on Caldey Island in South Wales.

My life took a different course and after University and marriage and holding down a full time job, the possibility disappeared. I have always, however, found the contemplative nature of monasticism very attractive. ...I have had an opportunity to re-evaluate my life and would like to participate in something which involves getting closer to God. Towards this end I would like to join the Knights of Prayer ™ which, with the focus on Celtic traditions, is of particular interest to me being, as I am, a Welsh man.

Your brother,

Owain W. (Wales)

I am very excited about your website that I have just found. I have been printing things off your website like mad...I will work on developing a close walk with God again, through an ordered, disciplined daily habit of prayer, readings, and scripture memory verses. I think the whole idea of Lectio Divina is interesting. I had never heard of it, but I am interested in incorporating this into my life as well. ...I also signed up for prayer on Thursdays at 2:00 a.m. (on the 24-Hr. Prayerchain), which is usually break time at my night shift job at the hospital. I think I am one of the only people doing this in South Dakota, from what I could see from your Prayer Warrior Map: U.S.A. Thank you for this, and I will...be sending...for the Monk Certificate and Card.

Sincerely,

Matthew D. (South Dakota)

Great Site! I will heartily recommend this site to my Evangelical brothers and sisters who are curious about monasticism, but find its context within the Roman Catholic Tradition an obstacle.

I am a Born-again Christian who found your site searching the internet for "Protestant Monks" I like all of it. I like the colors used. I like the plan of salvation explained. I like all of the resources: e.g. movies, books, scriptures, radio shows. The website is very easy to use.
It's beautiful. I never realized that there were other Protestants that wanted a monastic lifestyle. (Phoenix, Arizona)

It is a rare sight for me, to see so clear a message of salvation
portrayed in such a simple fashion, as on your web pages. I thank God and praise him for servants such as you.

While I may not be called to the monastic life, I trust that God has a
plan for me, as I'm sure he does for you. So I merely wanted to encourage you in your faith and your work, that God may bless and strengthen both.
God bless you in your ministry.
Mike S. (Canada)
