"Dear Pastor Jeff,

My name is Chris, and my wife Heather and I have planted a church in New Hampshire called Freedom Church. About a month ago you accepted us in your Pastor's Network and thank you for that. Since joining your network I've been listening to your AIT pod casts. Today at work I was listening to your series on "healing hurts." I was just really blessed by that series and all the other pod casts I've listened to of yours
I'm not a Baptist. My Christian background is congregational and then A/G. I've always considered myself non-denominational and still do. However, in my background whenever "Calvinism" came up it was always spoken of with a negative connotation. God has shown my wife and I the truth of Calvinism and now a lot of scripture that was once confusing now makes perfect sense.
I believe God has introduced me to the preaching of you, Paul Washer, John Piper, John MacArthur, Charles Spurgeon, and others to help our church understand and preach proper doctrine in our church up here in NH. I just wanted say thank you for making your preaching available to us. I don't know what you think of this letter, but let me just try to explain where I'm coming from. I've been a Christian all my life. I've believed myself to be saved since I was 13. I've never heard the doctrine of regeneration until a few months ago. I've never heard of "perseverance of the saints" before recently or the fact that becoming more Godly is a soulful work of the Holy Spirit and not something we try to work in ourselves. All this stuff is so foreign to me, but yet as I learn it amazes me and the Bible makes more and more sense. Let me tell you, churches up here aren't preaching the Bible. My wife and I are so eager to show our community the truth of God's word. I just wanted to
let you know how much your preaching has meant to me. I know you're very busy, so I understand if you don't write back, but I just wanted to let you know. God Bless you and your church."
Chris, New Hampshire

"Dear Bro. Jeff

I had the opportunity to meet you as you preached for our pastors' conference.  I also enjoyed talking to you at lunch that day.  I was so blessed to hear you speak, and your church sent me your materials on The Discovery Class.  I am still young in the ministry, and I am now more then ever in an area where I do not see the Gospel Contended for.  I thank God for your faithfulness to the Faith.  I am committed to the Faith once delivered to the saints - Reformed, Expository, and God glorifying.  Thank you for you help in being an example to me even though it has been from a far. I am watching and learning. I am praying that God will keep you pure and in right standing with Him as you contend for The Faith and lead in church life as a God Glorifying example.  Thanks

Soli Deo Gloria"

"The True Church Conference came at an opportune time. The church where I serve is seeing God's hand at work as we are implementing the truths we have learned. Thanks to God for your service to the body of Christ!"

"Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I have been listening to your worship services and enjoying the ministry of AIT for a month now. I felt compelled to send a note of thanks for the encouragement I have received from your ministry and thank you for being faithful to serve others outside of your church thru your web site. My home church is not the biblical example I see in God's Word or your ministry but pray constantly for God's intervention and trust that He will intervene.

I pray for your ministry as God has given me a burden to do so. May God's blessing be yours to increase your ministry's effectiveness to bring glory to Him and biblical truth and encouragement to other Christians like me. Thanks & God Bless."

"Mr. Noblit, I just arose from giving thanks to our all sufficient God for you and your work for Him. I just finished listening to your message Calvinism - A Cause for Rejoicing? or Concern?
I am a calvinist, Love Spurgeon, Edwards, and the Preaching of Old, and I am also passionate about evangelism. I am a member of a Southern Baptist Church that is adopting some of the emerging or seeker church ways and it grieves me deeply. I am excited to see the movement of truth God is beginning to send through pastors like yourself and also Mr. Washer from Heart Cry. I have for a long time wondered how our denomination could stray so far from the previous statements of faith and run headstrong into such weak doctrinal teaching. However; it appears God is moving and for this I am grateful, but I believe you are right that we need a change of heart in the local church. The task is a big one.. but if it were small, God would not be able to receive the glory due him for accomplishing it! I am confident that through the surrendered and spirit filled preaching of bold men, God can accomplish a work we will all stand amazed at one day.

I have started downloading these sermons you and Mr. Washer offer onto my IPOD and I listen to them while I travel as well as with my wife. They have been a blessing and a protection.

I am praying for your protection and success while seeking God's guidance on how I also might be able to support and participate in the proclamation of these truths. Thank you so much for your faithfulness and boldness.. To God be the Glory !!"

"Thank you, Paul, Jeff, and Matt:
I just wanted to thank you for obeying God in delivering a message to the bride of Christ that is the truth. My heart is broken with anger when I see the weeds growing everywhere; all I want to do is protect and destroy every notion against God's Word. It started with Paul's messages, and now we listen to Jeff and Matt also. God has been doing a work in our families ever since we have been listening to your messages. You guys have no idea how much seed is being spread from your obedient preaching of the truth. It is landing on good soil. Thanks for protecting the bride of Christ. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks."
David,

"A former pastor at FBC Dallas forced the entire church to read through Rick Warren's book as Sunday School curriculum.  Our Pathfinder's class teacher refused saying he'd committed to God to teach nothing but the word of God.  Oh, my soul, the trends in motion even here at this great old church where Truett and Criswell stood preaching like I heard you preach recently.  I weep.  It grieves me so.  This note is to say I'm praying for you pastor - for strength, for protection, for boldness, for gratitude that I heard you preach this message on apostasy, for how it encouraged me, blessed me, that it will resonate throughout Christendom. Amen and amen........you have been a help to us here in Dallas.  Pray for us as we seek God's man to come and be pastor to His people and His church here in this place in downtown Dallas. We don't want to be an emergent or emerging church - this placed emerged a long long time ago preaching Christ and Him crucified, people coming to the Lord by being convicted of the sin in our life - pray for us that we will once again have this kind of leadership to undershepherd our people."

"Dear Mr. Noblit,
First I guess you would like to know who I am.  Well, I am Sarah.  I am nine, almost 10, and I wrote to you to say . . . . THANK YOU so much for your sermons.  I would not like you to write back to me because you need to get on and do God's Holy, Holy, Holy work.  Thank you again.  It does help me.  I feel like wanting to do things for God and just do what His holy Word says.  Amen. God bless you.  P.S.  I will pray that God will help First Baptist Muscle Shoals Alabama.  God bless."
Sarah, London
