I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for ministering the love of God to me. At a time when I felt alone, rejected, and discouraged, you came alongside me, not asking for anything in return, but reaching out to me with tenderness and compassion when I was hurting inside.

You helped me to get my eyes off myself and my problems and back where they belong... on the Lord! Though there are many aspects to your ministry, during this time you were to me as Barnabas, the son of encouragement.
