You know it's God who is sustaining you because - you know you couldn't possibly cope through this yourself.


Bless your whole family's Spirits Sir.

This has broken my heart! When I heard the news last week I cried all day. I attended Harvest from 1980-83 and remember Christopher well. He was the cutest little curly headed blonde boy.
What a sweetheart!

Even though we know where Christopher is - with our Lord Jesus, walking out the grief will be hard. My prayers go with Brittany and Stella, Greg, Cathe and Jonathan.
Know that you are loved!

Many of my friends and family are thinking of you and all of those who are missing your son extra much right now and will be missing him for years to come... Family, friends, loved ones, ministry mates and so on... Asking Jesus for extra strength and grace now and each day the Lord gives you for the rest of your lives... I am so sad, but longing to see how Jesus gently makes something more than beautiful from all of this sadness... I think He has enough sadness and tears to knitt together the most beautiful and spectakular creation ever... One that will have a rippling effect, touching and changing lives, eternally, for the glory of our sweet Lord Jesus... Hey, I feel sad, but I feel comfort in knowing that you are all sweetly resting in the arms or the palm of Jesus... Can't imagine a better place for you, all of you, to be...

So glad you all are continuing to look to Jesus through all of this... This will speak loudly to the peole in the world... This is what they are longing to see, hear, answers and strength that the world just can't offer during times like these and other tradgedies and difficulties also... May you all be used mightily in ways you could never imagine!! Over and over again...!

I am living in Sweden now as I shared earlier when I told you of my dream of having you and your team come here with the Crusades... Just wanted to say it was special to be able to join you via the web during your service on Sunday... It touched my heart to hear you and Jonathan speak... Big of you... A friend here who I tipped to watch felt the same... It was so good to see Don and hear him... I remember him from Bible School when it was up at Twin peeks, but also from Campbell as I went there for a few years when I was living in Santa Cruz... He inspires me, motivates me, encourages me and strengthens me all at the same time... You too of course... but his message meant a lot to me as I am coming out of a dark time from a divorce... My ex got married on Saturday... but I am feeling very strong, walking here with Jesus...

Just wanted to tell you that very close to the same time as you lost your son a friend of mine and I were talking about the Christian walk... I said how I felt Jesus says over and over again in the New Testament that we are called to a life of suffering... That what God calls us to is simple though not always easy... He then said that it is when we are effective for the kingdom that opposition can come... If we don't feel any struggles ever, then maybe be should begin to wonder what kind of a difference we are making in this world, or something like that... Just felt powerful to hear the sad news about Christopher the day after and realize that we were talking about this all just around the time that he went home to Jesus... Sorry for all of these details that you surely don't need to be bombarded with now, but I feel it was good for me to get to share these words with you... Excuse me if I am not being very considerate... Not my intention...

I hope and pray that you team will come next summer already, but realize it probably wont go so fast... I will be praying for extra strength and extra ability to consentrate on your messages and all that you need to do as you mind is surely very pre-occupied right now and will be for a long time to come... So glad to hear for all of that you are going ahead with the crusades that are starting in less than three weeks I think it is...

God bless you in ways only He know how you need and long to blessed and touched both in your own life, but everyone who who's lives are now greatly affected by the loss of Christopher... temporary loss...

A loving Jesus hug to all of you from all of us...

Deborah, "Debbie" Lundin, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden...

There are no words to express the sadness of loosing a child, whether they are young, not so young, or an adult. Our child is our child. I know, I lost two. There is a comfort in knowing that we WILL see them again when we get to heaven. You have been a major figure in my coming back to Jesus, Pastor Greg. I keep you and your family in my prayers.
