Dear
Monk Linda,
On
the pages where you mention listening to J.
Vernon McGee and Hank
Hanegraaff on the radio; did you know that you could listen to
them on the internet at oneplace.com any time day or night? It
is a veritable treasury of teaching to those who can't get them on the
radio!
Also,
I wanted to take this time to thank you for giving so much information
on these spiritual giants of the faith! I ordered the documentary
"Obstacle to
Comfort" which tells about George
Mueller and the movie on Hudson Taylor
and it was uplifting to see these men who struggled like we do
and yet prayed through their problems! George Mueller,
in particular, really inspired me to get serious about reading and
studying the Bible! I had no idea that there were people who
actually immersed themselves in the Word like he did! ...it
spoke to my heart because the scripture that Our Lord has brought to
my mind repeatedly is Ephesians 5:26: (I realize that in
context the scripture is speaking about Christ and "the church,"
but surely it could also pertain to our relationship with God! I
mean, who does not need to have their mind "washed with
the water by the word?").
"25 Husbands,
love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself
for her, 26 that He might sanctify and
cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that
He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without
blemish."
This
web site is a blessing to me! Thank you for taking the time to
preview all these sources and then recommending them to us!
Blessings!

5/4/07______________________________________ I have listened again to Brother Lawrence's "Practicing the Presence of God". You are the first Biblically-Evangelical Ministry I have found which is along the same lines without going Roman...I thank God. I have felt a calling toward a change in my walk along your lines for a while and I thank God also to have found you all. My letter to you went out in yesterday's mail... Re: Dr.
McGee's half-hour radio program. Have started the "program" and
think it will be an answer to prayer for direction. I have
created a PDF outlining my personal order of the
day. Psalms sung in Gaelic...(see CDs on their website):

...just a note Re: your chapel
- while I know I can pray and talk to the Lord anywhere -- I
thought your chapel page was so lovely it has actually now inspired me
to convert a small room in my home as a "chapel" and Bible
study area - a place for quiet prayer, meditation and study away
from distractions, sounds and family. I think it helps keep
me from being interrupted or easily pulled to other things because I
shut the door and I'm aware (and family is aware) that I'm in my
prayer closet. I'm still rearranging some furnishings
but it is simple - an arrangement of a central standing Cross, Bible,
candles and for now I've also combined a small blanket rack and cushion
(with chair nearby) into a temporary prayer kneeler (eventually I will
either buy one second-hand or I might take a shot at building my own
in wood).
I don't know how you find and process all this information but it's
wonderful.
Yours in Christ,
Monk Karen (New Jersey)
4/26/07_____________________________________ I'm sorry to say but I have been without a computer
for quite some time. I'm now wireless but, I'm still feeling the
effects of having computer worms, viruses, etc. I currently
am fighting a Trojan and it's causing me a lot of grief, but I'll
keep fighting it. I really love the new site. It's jam
packed with all kinds of interesting & Godly material. I
really love the prayer room
you have.
4/25/07_____________________________________ I love the material on your site, and it makes up for
the difficult 4/20/07_____________________________________
Greetings,
My name is Leona and for years I've said tongue and cheek, "If
only there was such a thing as a Christian Monastery" I would
be there. I have tearfully looked over much of your
website and I believe as you have said...I am a Monk
in my heart. I would like very much to receive your newsletter.
I have labored in prayer for years for something like this...I'm so
happy to see that God has made a place for it on this Earth...a place
where God's people can support and encourage one another and keep
their garments spotless unto that day.
Gods very best to you,
Leona W.

Dear Monk
Preston,
I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I've loved the
new pages,
particularly right now the Monastery
Chapel and Worship
Service pages as I feel it gives (for me at least) another
connection to you all there in Oregon. The Chapel is
beautiful, and I'm happy to add the worship service to my daily
prayer.
Also wanted to say I love you all, and I'm praying for you.
Warmly in Christ,
Monk Karen (New Jersey)
