There has been an outpouring of notes and letters of encouragement from preachers and ministries across the country, NBBC members, as well as guests to our website.

We will start posting these notes of support as we receive them, and trust they will be an encouragement for you to read.


Dear Pastor Gomez and Church,

These are difficult times we are living in today, but our great God is not caught off guard. According to Job, nothing happens that is not allowed by God. Though we don't understand, we do trust our God. It is amazing how something unseen by human eye like this virus can bring the whole Earth to a standstill. However, our God who can be seen only by the eye of faith is still in control and has promised "...that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." I believe God.

Thank you very much for your continued support through your prayers and financially. These are tough times for churches, missionaries, and for evangelist. However, we've learned long ago that God is our supply. Though he uses churches and Christians, God is our supply.

I just finished a meeting in Kansas City. I was supposed to be in New Jersey this week, but it was canceled. I was supposed to be in Sanger, Texas next week but it canceled. I was supposed to be in Jackson, Alabama the next week, but it also canceled. I am not complaining, but thankful that God is still watching over us. I know these are tough times for many churches that have debts and little surplus. Yet we must not forget that God is our source of supply for churches also.

Like Gideon of the Old Testament, "I am faint, yet pursuing." The unsaved world needs to stop and think, "if they have trouble handling this, what will they do during the tribulation?" I am grateful that we have God to depend on and trust with our tomorrows.

Dearest Bro. Keith & NWBBC,

Thank you so very much for your monthly support to me for the past "almost" two years. You will never know what a blessing it has been, however, I was married on March 3 and wanted ya'll to know that I am not a widow anymore. Again, many thanks for the help when I needed it most, but if ya'll want to discontinue the support, I will understand.

Love to all!

 

Keith,

Thank you for your love and friendship all these years. You are like a brother to me and I love you and Kim dearly! You are a blessing and an encouragement to me! Please keep in touch! I pray for you both daily-along with Kim's parents.

Hugs and sugars!

Pastor Keith,

Thank you for your testimony that our God is greater than this virus and I'm claiming by Christ's stripes I shall be healed. I wasn't feeling well and had a sudden high temperature for a few days but I am much better now after being blessed by your service. My cough seems less today than yesterday as I'm clearly recovering. God's blessings as you continue to share in Christ's salvation of John 3:16.

Dear Preacher,
As the world loses all their gods of sports, education and money, we get to trust and be strong in the only true God. 

Thank you so much for standing strong for our Lord and for us. We are looking forward to being together with our church family soon!

We are proud to call you our Preacher.

Dear Preacher,

During these current trials, we face I wanted to let you all know how grateful I am to Northwest Bible Baptist Church and all the members.

Since attending Reformers Unanimous, and being saved with you and Steve Szwarga at my kitchen table, I have undergone a change in my life, where I am now filled with the Holy Spirit. Having been baptized at the church and making so many genuine friends, I cannot express enough about the heartfelt emotions of belonging to a church where everyone truly cares about each other. Each and every message I hear from yourself, Pastor Cavanaugh, and guest pastors touch my heart, but most importantly gives me the strength and knowledge to understand scripture for exactly what it says.

Presently I am two months ahead (reading the Bible in a year) of Pastor Hall's schedule. I read, highlight, make asterisks, and journal. Each and every day scripture touches my heart, and presently reading Proverbs I am in awe of the Divine wisdom I receive.

At this time, I will let you all know that each night you, and the entire staff as well as members, are in my prayers. I know that the current trials have presented their challenges. But they are nothing we can't handle and get through.

You sir are right on the money when you say "There is something bigger going on behind this virus." You, Preacher, do not stray or stumble when you speak and stand up for your flock and the Word of God. You also have God on your side, and you too are filled with the Holy Spirit. He recently, like He has done with me, advised "Preacher, pick your battles." The Holy Spirit knows what larger battles lie ahead, and you sir also know. I understand and support you and the staff in prayer.

I want to conclude by letting you and Pastor Cavanaugh know that your messages affect my heart, and therefore my daily life, in so many ways, I cannot begin to thank you enough.

Please forgive my handwriting and punctuation as well as run-on sentences. But, as my dear mother, Dorothy Drish used to say, "Son, there is nothing more cherished than a hand-written letter, note or card."

P.S. I listened to your radio interview! Very well done Preacher!
