Dr. Mann, your commitment to biblical preaching and teaching is evident in your consistency in the pulpit. Keep preaching God sees you and people lives are being enriched by your commitment.

Your Cali Connection,

I really have enjoyed and been
enriched by your series on Ezra. I am sure your church feels the same way as I do.

Don't stop running,

Encouraging words. Especially for those of us who are yet under emotional, physical, and spiritual construction ourselves within the body of Christ. We also know that we will be sustained in our ministries by the awesome power of God, as we press forward in all things toward kingdom building. With both of these finished projects, I anticipate what you Pastor Lance, presented in your third point of your outline...."The Celebration"

Counting the days when I'll see you again. Wish you could bring Doc Spoon and McGhee with you. Take care. Love you.
