A couple of brothers and myself would meet each week and listen to one of your messages and then we would discuss what we heard you preach. I have been pretty much listening to you ever since. I have two of your study bibles (NKJV and NASB). I used to have a series from you where you talked about how you prepare each week. I have since lost that in a fire. All I can really say is that I Praise God for the ministry that God has allowed you to have. May you have many more years of faithful service!! David John,

Since then, My wife and I have seen our two children come to know the Lord, including a son-in-law and now we have 7 grand children to witness too. John's tapes, books, notes, etc., have been a wonderful source for grounding us in the Word (Col. 2:7). My wife and I always said this is a no-nonsense pastor-teacher, who we recall saying, he prepared his messages for God first. That's rare; that's special; that's something real good for the flock to hear!! I've had the joy of visiting GCC on several different occasions (one a Shepherds Conference)and I can say from experience, the proof of John's ministry is seen in God's flock located on Rosco Blvd. Each time I visited there, I saw enthusiastic and informed Christians serving and proclaiming Christ. A truly a gifted teacher with a well grounded army of ministers!! V/r Dave Thank God for such a faithful pastor-teacher in this post-modern, liberal, superficial, tolerant, changing, relevant, user-friendly time...

I was saved in 1980 and started listening to Grace To You shortly after. I'm thankful for his consistency and faithfulness to the teaching of the Word of God. In the mid 80's we used to go up to Word of Life in NY and see him speak. I have his series "The Believer and Sin" that he taught there in 85' and after twenty plus years I still listen to it to help with my struggles with sin.

As a student in college, seeking to serve God in the ministry, you have been used by the Lord in my life in ways that perhaps you'll never be able to know in this side of heaven. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord's service. Your example is great. May the Lord continue gifting you and enabling you to do His work. I look forward to the day when I'll be able to thank you personally. I love you and I am praying for you. - Ivan Thank you so much, Pastor John!

I've listened to John since the 80s and he is always the voice I trust when it comes to handling God's word. It is encouraging to read about a man who has been faithful to the same church for four decades. That is nearly impossible to find these days. May God give John great health and many more years of service. Thanks for posting this. I’ve listened to John since the 80s and he is always the voice I trust when it comes to handling God’s word.
