  • I would like to send a message to Dion. I want him to know that about 2-3 months ago I couldn’t go to church that Sunday. So instead I logged on to refreshing hope to watch his church. There was a spot for prayer requests and so I asked for prayer for my back problems. I have suffered from severe pain for 18 years never finding out the problem. Nor could doctors help. I have been through it all. Much to my surprise when he prayed for me he used oil. And I don’t know what happened but I began to pray and cry. Now I’m not a crier over prayer but I felt something overwhelming. And after I started a new treatment not involving drugs or surgery. It’s called stem wave. And my back is better than it has been in 18 years!! Praise God. I don’t have constant pain anymore. Dion you might not know that what you do touches people! But it does! I just want to thank you. I have been doing your daily devotions for a couple years. It’s how I start every single day. I don’t often go to your site but that morning changed me! Just wanted to tell you! Praise God for your ministry!

  • Thank you soo much for these devotions. I read them every morning there soo encouraging and i can always relate to.them, God bless xoxo

  • I have more of a statement than a question. I was not sure where to post this. I wanted to thank this ministry for the several years of encouraging emails. In my current situation I'm not able to go to a local Church. It has been difficult, and I just wanted to share my gratefulness to Pastor Todd's encouragement via those emails. I use to go on Facebook, and I believe the Lord connected me to you folks. I am not able to read each day's message, but when I'm able to I've have many times received exactly what I needed at that time. I have been trying to save them, until I am read. Today I read your devotional about Gideon. It was such try a blessing, I joined the website to post this and ask for specific prayer for healing, to enable me to return to the Mission field. Again thanks for your consistent words of life that you have shared with a stranger, then, and now someone was able to share this. Blessings be upon your future work! David.
