NICK EICHER, HOST: Finally today, we end the week with your Listener Feedback.

Becky Manring of Sterling Heights, Michigan, sent this in about our feature story on a church that set out to help members with special needs:

BECKY MANRING: Good morning. I want to thank your report that was on the 11th of March, Mary Jackson’s report on ministering to people with disabilities and bringing it to all of our attention that we have brothers and sisters who have challenges because of different things in their bodies that don’t work the way they are supposed to, and yet they need Christ, they need compassion, and we in the church are to minister to them because they are just as much part of the body as anyone, and they teach us Christ in new ways.

Well Myrna, Lindsay Griffen of Tampa, Florida, sent this note in about your March 12th story on grandparents raising their grandchildren:

LINDSAY GRIFFEN: I listened twice to your story about grand families. Both times I was brought to tears, not because of sadness, but because of pure joy. When little Mercy described her baptism and her favorite song and how she and her grandmother would sing it in the car, you could hear the love and happiness in her voice. It was the most beautiful sound, and you could absolutely feel the goodness of God. It’s stories like this that make your podcast an essential part of my day.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: On March 10th, we had a story about Christians in Thailand. Listener Christine Hayden lives there and had this to say.

CHRISTINE HAYDEN: Hi. This is Christine Hayden in Bangkok, Thailand. We just listened to the podcast about the challenges of evangelism in Thailand. Thanks so much for this report. We have lived in Thailand almost 30 years, ministering in Christian education at International Community School. May listeners continue the prayers for the lovely people here who need Jesus. Thanks again. 

EICHER: Finally, Leta Powell from Cedar Crest, New Mexico, on our February 23rd History Book.

LETA POWELL: I really enjoyed Arsenio Orteza’s piece on Johnny Cash and the concise summary of his life, of his music, and the good times, the bad times, the challenges, the victories. It was just a great piece and I hope you do more of those kind of segments to learn about these people that have passed on but have left their mark on this world. So thank you for that piece about Johnny Cash.

And that’s Listener Feedback for the month of March.
