From The (E)Mail Box . . .

You have another great set of articles this month. Bob West's Theophilus, Dean Scott's essay on Finances and stewardship, and the special Article by Home-Schooler, Amy Roberts, were just what I wanted this month. Mold Me, Make Me is inspirational. Each article is great. Thanks. - S.G., Lago Vista, TX, USA

It is great to find your site! I will bookmark it right away. - J.A., Germantown, TN, USA

Good morning . . ., I just now visited your Focus On Jesus web site and after browsing the articles, I went to the guest book. There I attempted to sign it. I guess my ignorance shows all too often so I don't know if it registered or not. Anyway as I was entering your web site, I believe that I saw Noah walking out. I could be mistaken but it kinda looked the way he did the last time I saw him . . . . I especially liked Amy's on home schooling . . . . I have never commented on your article you had on the first issue entitled, "Focus on Jesus". I pulled it off and am keeping it to copy for others to read. Of course I will be doing that to other articles but I just wanted you to know that I really did appreciate that one. - J.L., Orlando, FL, USA

Have read about 3/4 of it and the articles are great! Keep em coming! In His love, Dianne, via the Internet

What little we've seen, it is cool! - D.W. & L.W., Ellensburg, WA, USA

You have a lot of good topics that I find very interesting. Keep up the good work. - S.C., Memphis, TN, USA

I would like to get your snail mail material. - G.D., San Antonia, TX, USA

This morning I located this web site because I was reading another newsletter under Freedom's Ring. I thank the Lord for godly people, especially couples and families working together, who want to share their understanding of God's will for our lives that we may live with Him eternally. Thank you for presenting FOCUS ON JESUS and WHY . . . I intend to read the entire contents of this "issue" and will look forward to new material every other month.. - S.G., Lago Vista, TX, USA

Good Stuff! - S.C., Othello, WA, USA

Nice Home Page. Home Page is great! - R.M. vbe.com, USA

I'm all excited about your Focus on Jesus Ministry, but all I have is Email, and that alone takes up too much of my time. Is Focus on Jesus suitable for young readers on Email? God Bless you in the many good things you-all do. Love, - E.T., Clermont, FL, USA

I found the publication delightful in the extreme and intend to visit it often. As soon as the page came up, rather slowly in my elderly computer, I book marked it! I knew immediately it was a place I would love to visit!

- P.M., Haskell, TX, USA

Congratulations! I saw the site listed on the Emmaus email & had a peek. I like what I have seen so far. I have book marked it & will check it out frequently. May our Lord continue to bless your efforts. - B. L., Frenchs Forest NSW, Australia

My comments to the new site: Hooray! This is just great. Art, I remember now where I've heard your name; in The EXAMINER. I have long enjoyed your writings and Bob West's "Theophilus". Praise God for all of you, you have been a great blessing to me and my friends in Topeka. Rest assured you are all doing mighty things for the Lord in this ministry to His children. - A.Y., Topeka, KS, USA

Your support of this ministry determines whether or not it continues. If anything here has blessed you in any way - any contribution by any author, then please continue to support these efforts. You can share in this ministry in several ways. The first and most important is in your prayers. Please pray that this publication will reach each one who needs each message. Next, is to tell friends and acquaintances about Focus On Jesus. If you belong to a discussion or special interest group, request that they look in on this page and bookmark it. If you belong to a rating group, encourage those who do the ratings to check us out also.

You can also support us and share in these efforts by sending us your thoughts, suggestions, questions, notes of encouragement, draft articles, or whatever you are moved to share via email or the comment section of our guest book. Drafts for articles may be sent via email, or ask us for other instructions for direct digital transfer to us.

Another way is by your financial contributions. Focus On Jesus is made possible by the voluntary contributions of our readers. Make checks payable to Disciples Fellowship, and send to: Disciples Fellowship; PO Box 845, LaFayette, GA 30728-0845.

As long as these kinds of support and fellowship with us continues, we believe we are to continue publishing. When they stop, we should stop.

We do not plan to make any strong "pitches" for funds (or any other kind of support) for this ministry. We believe that our Lord has led us to begin it and will move others to support it only as long as it is fulfilling its mission. If we stray from that, we believe that He will stop it. For us, it's that simple.

So if this is a blessing to you or anyone you can share it with, then ask our Lord if you should support this effort, and if so, just how.
