Encourament from People I've never Met

Modified: 2007-02-25 13:15:06

Today I received one of the most encouraging emails so far from someone that I don't even know. I'm very thankful for the many people who have sent me feedback and thanked me for my website. It fuels my motivation! :) I'm starting to think that God has called me to be a missionary and my mission field being the Internet. I think people can be spiritually impacted by what they read and see online. I want to be someone who points to Jesus as the way.

I used to have this as my signature at NerdHelp.com, maybe I should post it somewhere again:

No Jesus No Peace
