I just wanted to tell you how much of a blessing your ministry is in my life. You probably don’t remember but I was the girl who asked you about a year ago how I would know if I was called to the ministry. Thank you for taking the time to answer. With university just a year away, there are a lot of uncertainty and reading your answer assured me that my Daddy has a plan for my life and that as He has planned, He will provide.

Hi Bruce,

I gave out the "Jesus Wept" books to my Sunday school kids. Today I received a letter from one single mom who had two kids in my class. She wrote "My Jack stayed up until 2:00 am the other night to read the book "Jesus Wept" from cover to cover. A few days later I was crying because I had to go to the hospital. Well, Jack turned into "preacher boy"!! He was telling me how God loved me and was right there crying with me. He even quoted scripture.

Jack learned so much from the book and he was teaching his sister and myself. I KNOW that God loves me but at times I forget he is right next to me crying with me. Thank you so much for helping all three of us,..." Pretty cool, huh!

Hi Bruce,

English is my second language, so please excuse my mistakes. Thank you for what you did, it changed my life forever. I am living in a small town in South Africa. On 13th April 2004 during my lunch time at home I was channel hopping and there you were on the screen. It was a tape of you when you were speaking at Easter in New Zealand.

I grew up in Christian schools and church all my life and I thought I was an ok person. After listening to you that hour it was a HUGE wake-up call. I know I needed Jesus in my heart and life, and not just going to church.

By chance (maybe not) your book Jesus, Yesterday, Today & Forever was on my desk back at work. I am a librarian and I am always reading something or other. All the other stuff and books now just dropped away and I dove into the Bible and all the Christian books that are at my disposal in the library.

Why am I writing to you? Just to thank you. It is wonderful to view the world around you from this new angle. Thank you.

Dear Bruce,

I just finished reading the book “Jesus Wept”. For me it was truly a journey of rediscovery to the heart and compassion of our loving Savior. Through reading this book, I felt God remind me that there is absolutely nothing that I experience to which He is a stranger and which He doesn't understand. It's almost like He constantly, gently whispers in my ear, "I know, I know." Wow, what a comforting thought! What a wonderful personal Lord! How truly grateful I am for Jesus.

Dear Bruce,

I was recently saved by the grace of my Lord and Master Jesus the Christ. For years I drank myself into a living hell and could not bear the hurt and pain in my life. One night I bought the video set `Matthew' while drinking and as I watched I wept at your brilliant portrayal of the Lord.

I am now in recovery which is a miracle from God and have just read your book “In the Footsteps”. WOW! I smiled with you. I cried with you both in joy and sorrow. I have never been so moved while reading a book in my life and I just wanted to say thank you and God bless you and your ministries.

Dear Bruce,

Just quick note to let you know how the Lord has used your message "Because He Loves You". Last Sunday, as a member of the prayer team, I was asked to pray for a member of our worship band. She has been having some struggles with her husband, who is not a believer. As I prayed for her this week, I knew the Lord asked me to give her my copy of the message that had just come in the mail. I left it on her keyboard on Wed. afternoon, knowing that she would be coming to practice. This a.m. she met me in the parking lot to thank me for giving it to her. She said that she played it on the way home that night and had to pull off the road, she was crying so hard. She knew it was a word just for her from the Lord. I thank the Lord continually for you, and your very inspiring messages.

Bruce,

I have been born again for seven years now…from being a homeless alcoholic to an adopted son of God. When I first came into the kingdom, everything was new to me but I had a hard time shaking my old ideas of who Jesus was. For the first year, I kept envisioning this untouchable that nobody could get to know. A friend from my church lent me "Matthew" during this time period. The second you walked into the lake and spoke to John the Baptist I started weeping. It hit me: this is how Jesus really is. I was in awe the whole time I was watching, I couldn't get enough. It changed the way I read the Bible, my attitude toward prayer, and basically my life.

Bruce,

I want to thank you again for your books and message CD's. I have listened to the CD's of your speaking events over and over again. When I have a morning when going to work just seems to be an impossible task I put in one of your CD's and by the time I arrive I am relaxed and content and so excited to spend another day seeing what God has in store. I am afraid that my faith is rather new and although I am just so thankful every once in awhile I need to be reminded just how wonderful it is to be a child of God. Sometimes I just get bogged down in the everyday world and when I listen to your messages you speak directly to my heart and I just can't help but be renewed, so thank you.

Dear Bruce,

Greetings from Tacoma, Washington--home of the annual Pierce County Prayer Breakfast. My husband has been attending the prayer breakfasts for 20 years. I've been able to attend for the last 10. Through these years we can't remember such a special "presence" of the Lord during the speaker. There was truly a "holy hush" as God was using you to minister in powerful ways.

After the breakfast, we brought "Footsteps" to you to be autographed and talked about our daughter, her discouragement, and asking, "Where was God when.......". After autographing the book, you so graciously told us to go back to the book table and pick up a free copy of "Jesus Wept" for her. We were both overwhelmed and decided to purchase the book to support your ministry and headed back to have you autograph it as well. You wrote a precious message from the Lord to her in the book and we gave it to her that afternoon and told her how it all came about. She was very moved and started reading it. This past year she has been growing closer to the Lord but not without continuing struggles. We learned now that she's recently started going to church again. Praise the Lord!

On your website you so humbly wrote the comment about the Pierce County Annual Prayer Breakfast, "How on earth did I ever get here?" There's no doubt that God brought you to Tacoma on May 7, 2004 for such a time as this. Thank you.

Dear Bruce,

I have just read "In the Footsteps of Jesus" while on holiday in South Africa and was tremendously moved by it. I have been a Christian for 30+ years but your book has given me a real desire to know Jesus in a deeper way. I really appreciated your honesty in the book over your feelings as you made the film - it's encouraging me to trust God more and more.

Hi Bruce.

You rock! I just finished listening to your brilliant CD "Yesterday Today and Forever" and had to tell you how you brought to life Jesus. You have a great gift of expressing Jesus' love and grace. I loved every bit of this masterpiece especially track 8 where "Jesus eyes meet mine and a flood acceptance flows from him (and I am weeping now as I write this) and His are the hands that created me and He knows me and He loves me, He Loves Me, He loves me. Wow it blows my mind.

Dear Bruce,

One Sunday after a Bible class we we went to the Bible Factory Outlet and one of the first books I picked up was "Meeting Jesus". You can not even imagine the effect it had on me. I could not wait to read it again . Once I finished it the second time I gave it to my husband and made him read it immediately. Its next stop was a Christian friend at work. We bought a second copy so we had one we could read while the first was on its travels. I took it in and gave it to a friend at church. It brings such joy, and renewal.

I have requested 10 more copies. Two just aren't enough to send it on its journies fast enough. I have another friend who, although she doesn't know it desperately needs to find Jesus, she gets my copy next. In the meantime one of the people who read the book writes to a couple of men in the service. She said you know this would be a great thing to share with them. What better time to remember that you always have someone who loves you then when you are away from home and family and don't know just what tomorrow may hold. We all need to be reminded that if we aren't right with God then we will always be away from our "family".

So I want to send this little book on to as many people as I can. I'm not a minister. I won't touch thousands of people but maybe if just one or two feels their life is better, their faith is stronger, and they can look up and say Jesus is my savior, then that's a good thing. So thanks Bruce for writing this book, for touching my world and my heart and may you continue to do so everyday.

Dear Bruce,

Recently I was in need of some prayer so I listened to your "We Just Need Jesus" audio. You know Bruce, as cliché as it may sound, no one says it like you do! I receive such peace when I listen to your messages. The Lord uses you to remind us that it is ALL about HIM and he loves us in ways that are beyond our understanding, regardless of circumstance. So, once again, thank you for not being defeated by the ways of the enemy, and for being so open and willing to hear and to share with us the intimacy of your relationship with Him. Glory to God!

Bruce,

I just finished reading again In the Footsteps of Jesus and Jesus Wept and just sit here weeping because of the amazing way He cares for me. So many things you wrote about have touched me in such deep ways. Thanks for sharing your experiences in your books and being such an encouragement to me.

Dear Bruce,

I had been working on a piano/vocal arrangement of Be Still My Soul/ What a Friend We Have In Jesus, however, I was feeling unsettled with it the last time I was asked to minister at the church so set it aside for another piece. After that, I received the CD "I Could Not Love You More" and was so moved and blessed by your narratives. It didn't take long for me to realize that the two segments where you speak of being still (Segments 13 & 15 on the CD) were exactly the message I was wanting to communicate in the arrangement, so I bracketed my solo with those two cuts. It was incredible the way people were moved. First of all, no one clapped and I was THRILLED that they GOT it - everyone was still and quiet and moved at the end. The only way I could describe it when I recovered my own emotional equilibrium was that it was a holy hush. Many people said that they wept through the song. Bruce, the words you spoke drew people to a greater awareness of God's assurance of His love and His call to rest in Him and opened them up to really hear the words of my solo - beginning, "be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side......." Thank you so much.

Dear Bruce,

We write to encourage you in JESUS. My wife and I have been Christians for 43 years and then in March 2003 we discovered your book. We sat in bed reading it together and both started weeping. For the first time in all our Christian lives we were both filled with the love, joy, and compassion of Jesus in a way we never knew before. It continued for weeks resulting in us moving from loving Jesus to "falling in love" with Jesus. What a difference! Since then we have purchased 320 of your books and have put them in every high school and library in the county of Devon. We have been able to witness to so many people because of it. Thank you as you have inspired us to relate to Jesus in a way we never knew before. You have revealed to us Jesus as we never knew Him before--the REAL Jesus! Our love and regards in His precious Name.

Dear Bruce,

I have meant to write you long before. I so enjoyed your books and was privileged to hear you speak in Cape Town once. Your focus on Jesus is so inspiring and it is wonderful that you share it. I bought several copies of In the Footsteps of Jesus to give to friends and the local library, when I recently read an appeal in the Today Christian magazine from a prisoner who has been in prison since 1985 so I sent him a copy also. It has been so appreciated--the guy wrote and said two other prisoners had life changing experiences as he shared it with them. Many there are Afrikaans speaking so it's not just reading the book--they have fellowship as he translates it for them. He explained that a Moslem also asked him if the story was true as he listened in from a distance, so he was able to spend hours with him reading from the Gospels and sharing Jesus and now that Moslem has been set free. Thank you so much, Bruce, for sharing your story and bringing Jesus "to life" for so many.

Last night I got the new "Jesus Wept" book in the mail, as well as the "I Could Not Love You More" CD. I put the CD on and started reading the book. I finished reading the book in under an hour, and wanted to let you know I think it's very good. Who of us has not felt pain in our lives? This book shows us how Jesus had and has painful times whenever sinful choices are made. There were a few parts in the book that made me cry. I thought it was interesting to relate Jesus' weeping back to Adam and Eve and their experience. You made an interesting point that God didn't want death for His creation-- people chose it. I also liked how at the end of the book you shared the idea with readers that eternal life is available through Jesus. 'Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning' could sum up this book.

I just got the "Matthew" DVD in the mail yesterday, and went straight to the crucifixion scene (since it is close to Easter and wanted to see how it was done in this movie), and then I let it play on to the end. I was amazed. It was so different to see Jesus after the resurrection walking with a spring in his step, and smiling. And then at the end where Jesus looks right into the camera - after He talked to His disciples about "the Great Commission". That was great. At the very end, the scene where Jesus is walking away and He turns and with a smile, beckons us to follow Him... for some reason that just struck such a chord with me. I have played that one scene over and over. Who would NOT want to follow this Jesus? Such a simple thing but it is such a blessing. I never saw Jesus portrayed in a way that makes one feel such love from Him and for Him. God bless you.

I cannot believe how blessed I have been this week - friends of mine lent me their set of "Matthew". The way you portrayed Jesus made Him someone you could really love and follow. I've watched the full video four times this week. My mother, whose English is not that good, reads her Polish Bible and Matthew if her favorite Gospel. She watched it and understood every word - what a blessing.

Your visit here really helped me out. You are such a down-to-earth guy who speaks the truth in a way that's easy to understand. I really enjoyed listening to you speak. While you're incredibly funny with your examples, at the same time you are very serious and get to the point. One of your examples was about Jesus at the door with the lamp. You talked about how the picture portrays him with his gentle type gesture standing at the door knocking to them him in. Your explanation of how he is really "banging and scratching" is so true. I never really thought about it like that, but it is so true. It really opened my eyes up to what I am truly missing when I don't give my whole life to God.

Dear Bruce,

Some time ago I wrote to you and followed the advice of your response. To refresh your memory, quite unexpectedly I received the gift of having a private spiritual language enter into my prayer time. I did not ask for it, knew nothing about it, and my church actually teaches against it. I was so scared and I did not understand. I went to one of our elders at church and he told me it was wrong and possibly even from Satan. You can imagine how that confused and upset me. But I am so thankful that out of that fear I wrote to you.

Your letter assured me that what had happened was actually a gift from God and to be cherished. You recommended that I get a book by Jack Hayford-The Beauty of the Spiritual Language-what a blessing it was. It affirmed everything that I was experiencing as being true and freed me from all the condemnation and fear that somehow Satan himself had gained access to my relationship with Jesus and my prayer life with Him.

Also, isn't this just so precious of God to do. To assure me more, I met quite "accidentally" another woman in our church that has privately enjoyed this beautiful blessing for many years. She was encouraging to me. I am now so joyous with something that, until a month ago, I was almost unaware of. I use it often in my private prayer time and feel sure that God is praised and loved through it. Thank you for leading me in the right direction.

Dear Bruce,

I write to you at 4:00 a.m. here in New Hampshire. I had a sense to check in with your web site and I came upon your heartfelt response to the soul from Denmark. As I read your own words I stopped and dropped to my knees and then literally on my face to pray. I look to your writing often because the Lord uses it to show me His ways and lead me and heal my heart. I know that it must be the same for thousands of other brothers and sisters. I'm going to go back and re-read your reply to the soul from Denmark, then pray even more, and then read His Word with fresh excitement as I begin this new day. Thank you and Praise His Precious Name.

Dear Bruce,

I attended one of your In the Footsteps of Jesus Seminars. My life had come crashing down with my marriage breaking up. All I had to do was hold on to Jesus and I knew that in my head, but in time of crisis you need more than head knowledge.

I was deeply touched at the seminar. Quite unexpectedly I might add. I felt that I had been healed on so many levels, not like some magical spell, but in God's Spirit. I experienced the incredible love and acceptance from the Father and I was washed anew and overwhelmed. I had been rejected by man, but the Man of all men said through you, "I have my eyes on you. You matter to me."

The way from here is still unclear, but now I trust that the One who knows the way will lead me. My time now is spent waiting on God, getting to know Him more and reading His Word instead of panicking and trying to "fill the void." To the glory of God I say thank you for being God's instrument.

Bruce,

I read "In the Footsteps of Jesus" some years ago and I don't think my pillows/carpets were dry for weeks, as I cried so much. God used it in such a powerful way to impact my relationship with Him (or LACK of it!). It's the only book I ever remember SOBBING through.

Also, this last Christmas my mom blessed me with "Jesus Yesterday, Today, and Forever". I am a hospital nurse, and I carry it with me to work. The Holy Spirit has used it to spark many conversations. I'm EXCITED about that and believe God is bringing healing to souls as well as bodies, and healing staff more than just the patients! Thank you for your thoughts in this book and thank you also for presenting a Jesus that is real and people can't help but fall in love with. Thank you!

Hi Bruce,

It was so evident that you were a willing vessel of the Holy Spirit as you played the role of JESUS. My husband went to be with the LORD last month (he had cancer and lived longer than the doctor's expected). He loved Jesus, and he'd often watch your videos as he got weaker and weaker... they were such encouragement to him. Bless you Bruce!!!

   Go to Top
         
I just want you to know that you are so very precious in the eyes of Jesus. I know He is because as a silent follower (and prayer partner) of your ministry for the last five years, God has used you mightily in my life and my family and friends. I can't tell you how many smiles you've given to me or how many times the Lord has hugged me through you. There are many times that I've been discouraged until I check your web site or read one of your books, I've even caught you on the radio once, and seen you on TV a couple of times, and that's not even mentioning watching "Matthew." But even more than the movie, it's your life and the way you live it. The Lord has spent a lot of time teaching me how to serve Him and showing me that that is the only thing in life that matters. The only thing that will ever satisfy me is being with Him and sharing Him with others. He has used you as a wonderful example for me and through you, given me that courage to trust Him.

So thank you Bruce Marchiano, for not just being an actor who portrayed the life of Jesus, but for dying to your own life, your own will, your own desires and allowing your life to truly portray the life of Jesus, His will, and His desires. I know I speak for thousands of people when I say that Jesus has used your life to touch and change my life in amazing ways.

On days that you're discouraged, remember that many people around the world, and someone in Oklahoma who you've never even met is praying for you. May God bless you always!

Dear Bruce,

Thank you so much for bringing God's love alive in your book, Jesus, Yesterday, Today, and Forever. My kids love to look at the pictures. They have made Jesus real to them, and I cannot tell you how that is an answer to their mother's many prayers. Visitors who don't know the Lord will pick the book up from my coffee table and page through it. It has led to many conversations about salvation. And no one, myself included, no matter how many times I look at it, can see the pictures of the crucifixion and not be moved to tears of love for our Savior. Thank you!

Bruce:

Laugh at me for saying this because you probably hear it a lot, but you are one brother I hope to meet in heaven. You are so motivating and inspiring in your passion for Jesus at this time when hometown churches are either so lukewarm and going through the motions or so hyped out just for the sake of being hyped out. It is difficult for me and many others I talk with. Your books and your web site keep me motivated and on fire to live for Christ. They are providing me with the substance and the passion I am looking for in leadership. Thank you for your enthusiasm and faithfulness. It means the world to me. Many prayers for the December crusade and for all our new brothers and sisters in Christ. Jesus lives and rules and is worthy of all our praise! Glory to His name!!!

dear bruce,

hello! my name is XXX. i am 18 years old now, currently a student in Bible school. I have wanted to write this for almost 3 years. so i guess i was about 16 years old when you spoke at winter youth celebration in portland, oregon. at the time, i was in the midst of a horribly black depression. i was also in the midst, consequently, of a deep, deep search for joy. i looked everywhere, i looked for books, i studied every verse in the Bible that contained the word "joy", and i asked people (although i was of course pretty cut off from people). i could not seem to find joy. but then I heard you speak and something was captivating to my heart every time you spoke. the 2nd day we had these small seminars, and the one i had chosen was canceled for some reason. so one of the girls from my youth group and i wandered into the main ballroom where you were finishing up your seminar. afterward, with time to kill, you stayed and hung out with the kids just talking and answering their questions. i sat there about 10 rows back, watching you. a couple times you looked at me and just smiled. i'm sure you don't remember. i saw a shimmer in your eyes that i knew was joy. i wanted so much to approach you and ask you "where did you find such joy?" but i was afraid. by the end of winter youth celebration though, i realized that your joy came from your heart knowledge of Jesus Christ!!! it took time but I came out of that depression, and it has never come back. and i experience more and more of His joy every day!! He used you in a mighty way that day to begin my journey out of depression. i was never able to forget the joy of Jesus that i saw in your eyes and heard in your speaking, particularly as i sat numbly in that chair.

so i want to thank you with a great part of my heart, for allowing yourself to be used by the Lord Jesus Christ, to plant seeds in me and probably so many others like me that you would never even know about until you get to heaven. God bless you greatly, and please accept my thanks, and know that there is a little sister in Christ who has that joy in her eyes each day now as well!

God bless you, Bruce!

I just wanted to tell you how much your story touched me. I am an 18 year old girl and I've grown up in church with the overall impression that Jesus was someone like the President, or some prince...distant, important, and too perfect to even SEEM human. But as you spoke, I saw through you a Human of utmost joy and caring. Someone who was really a SOMEONE! You can't imagine how that made me feel. I fell in love with Jesus! Now I can appreciate and understand when people tell me, "Jesus died for me." It's not just a religious phrase--it's the event of a lifetime!

It's my belief that God made you to "bring back" Jesus to us, if you know what I mean. Teenagers especially have a hard time accepting Jesus because He seems so serious and stern and distant, the way others talk about Him. But you, Bruce, I believe, have rejuvenated our fire for the Lord, and it is you that have given me my course in life. I want to be a missionary nurse so I can bring others to the REAL Jesus like you do.

Thanks!

Hi Bruce,

I just got back from being an assistant counselor at a youth camp--you spoke at one of our camps in 2000 or 2001. Friday night there were testimonies from the kids. One of them told about being at the camp when you were there, and you asked if anyone wanted to ask Jesus in his heart. He was one of the ones who responded and then later got baptized. I thought you might like to know that his Christian walk is growing, he's digging deep for God, he has an awesome girlfriend who is also a dynamite Christian, they sharpen each other in the Lord, and on the whole his life is awesome with Jesus even though there are hardships. And his life was hard--gangs, drugs, etc. before that day when he found Christ. Anyway, I wanted you to know that through you, God is truly "setting the captives free."

God bless you!

I just want to say that you are doing such a good, good job. A friend of mine went to one of your meetings here in Johannesburg.

Have a great day, and please keep going.

Thank you for being sensitive to what He was teaching you.

Bruce,

I want to thank you for playing a pivotal role in fulfilling my lifetime dream of becoming a missionary. Here I am in Africa visiting villages, spreading the Good News of Jesus... and it is all because of what I saw in you and heard in your speaking. You gave me the strength to make the changes I needed to make, to be free from fear and insecurity and trust my personal life to the Lord. My life has become so rich as I see so many come to Jesus, and to think, this is something the Lord called me to years ago. Better late than never. God bless you "big time," as you always say!

Bruce, bless you for your faithfulness to our Lord. The 'Matthew' miracle marches on in Utah. A Mormon co-worker of mine desperately wants to know Jesus--the real Jesus, not the Mormon doctrine-distorted Jesus.

Hi Bruce!

You will probably not remember me, but I attended the singles conference you did in May. Bruce, I just would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that day. To describe it, it felt like Jesus was just holding me and just telling me to rest and forget about all that stuff that I carry around, so concerned about. Just to realize that I can truly take control of the things in my life--I don't have to sit around and wait--God has given me everything I need today, and I can life life fully NOW! You have really opened my eyes and I cannot describe the joy and excitement that has taken over from all the doubt and "Woe is me." You've really helped me a lot in my life. I will be praying for you. Thanks!

Thank you for coming to our church, Bruce. I don't often take time to compliment anybody, but let me say this. You are one of the most inspiring men I have ever witnessed, and I have pastored for many years. Your testimony is the pure Gospel--no frills, down to earth, no additions or deletions--something we in the body of Christ need much more of as we have traveled so far in trying so hard. I watched the response of my congregation. Young and old alike, they were all so impacted and have new excitement about Jesus. Personally, I was moved to tears, overwhelmed by God's love for me. It was a fresh revelation (and who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks). Thank you--please come back anytime!

I am 72 years old, and a dear friend gave me a copy of 'Footsteps' with an inscription saying it changed the way she saw God. life, love, and joy, and hoped it would do the same for me. Well, it certainly has, and who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? After all these years of knowing Jesus, my eyes have opened to see Him in a new and real way and I am closer to Him than ever before. Thank you!

Hello,

Bruce, my husband has stumbled onto your program, "In the Footsteps of Jesus," and it has changed our lives. Just to name a few things, he has quit smoking pot and drinking alcohol, and this is a miracle! We have been in a living Hell until now. Another big problem was his anger, which seems to be gone too.   Bruce, I thank you for sharing your life with us.

Dear Bruce,

The best thing that happened to me this year was falling in love with Jesus after watching 'Mathew's Gospel' umpteen times. This led me to Marchiano Ministries where I discovered hidden treasure, through this God has put the drive and purpose back into my life - I cannot thank Him enough.

Dear Bruce,

I just finished reading your new book, “Jesus Wept.”  Wow!  You’ve not only touched His heart yourself, but you’ve given the reader a real glimpse of His heart as well.  I want to immediately suggest to our divorce recovery team that we use this book in our program to help hurting people see and know the heart of Jesus.

Thank you!  Thank you for “Jesus Wept.”  This book will join my three or four other volumes that are never far from my fingertips when I study the Bible.  It will also become a standard Christmas gift to our friends and family.

Dear Bruce,

A blessing such as this past weekend was way over-due for me. I rarely stop long enough to have that kind of experience... I compare it to holding a small child's face in my hands to get them to look at me when I am talking to them, to understand me, to help them settle down. Bruce, you were Jesus' hands this weekend... you held my face to help me focus on Christ and the realness of Him.  I truly needed that stabling to help me hear and understand...to help me settle down.  Thank you!

God bless you dear brother Bruce.  My name is Ana, I'm from Mexico City.  I watched Matthew several years ago, I was a Christian but living as my style of life not as Jesus commanded, but one wonderful day I was watching TV and saw Matthew, I met with my Lord and Savior Jesus again.  Since that day I have walked with Him, He is my Lord and I love Him with all my heart.  God bless you and all of the team who works with you.

Bruce, 
I have been watching your programme In The Footsteps of Jesus on the Australian Christian TV channel. I just want to say what an encouragement you have been.  You glow when you talk about Jesus, Yes you are truly in love and captured by Him.  I have been renewed and revived, Bruce.  Come back to speak here in Sydney, will you please?  Thank you.

Today I was kind of struggling spiritually - "What does the Lord want me to do, as far as sharing the gospel with people?" I really felt pressured about it, and 1 Peter 3:15 was heavy in my mind. So I went online and looked up "What is the best way to share the gospel" on yahoo. I came up with your website - you were giving advice to someone who wanted to know how to share the gospel with his brother who is (or was) dying of cancer. Then I went to your story, because I wanted to know who the person behind the site was - "Why are people sending questions to him?" (I'd seen you in the Book of Acts, but didn't realize it was you) - I just wanted you to know, your story really uplifted me. It made me see how much God loves us and has a plan and purpose for each one of us. Keep it up, man - you're touching lives.

One of the main reasons it is such a joy for me to pray for you and your ministry is because you truly portray the "heart" of Christ is such a simple and pure way. One of the things that saddens me so much is the "form of godliness" that lacks the power thereof that actually enslaves and judges those in the most need of help instead of offering the lost His living water and immeasurable and unconditional love.  It is the REALNESS of your ministry that so touches me.

Bruce, something huge has happened here in Cornwall. England over the weekend.  It was, well, just plain life changing for a few hundred people.  There were tears, there was laughter and more than anything else such a powerful sense of the presence of Father God in every meeting. In one service we went from praise to intimate worship that went on for nearly 2 hours to Bruce’s "shortest sermon ever," to him talking in depth about real and true religion (looking after the widows and orphans), what a wonderful service.  It was so very special. Hearts were softened never to be hardened again, the love of God has flowed into us and is now flowing out of us to a hurting world.  Thanks.

I just wanted to drop a line to say what a blessing Bruce's ministry was at St Nicholas Church, Kemerton, England on Wednesday morning. The message Bruce delivered was "spot on" and we could have listened for another hour had time permitted.  The group from my house church was greatly blessed and we pondered over the message as we met for lunch afterwards.

I returned from the Cheltenham visit from your wonderful ministry here in England in the early hours of this morning.  I was tired but had a smile on my face and in my heart that would melt the North Pole! Thank you, Bruce.

Dear Bruce,

 I expect you get email messages like this every day, but I needed to tell you that your audio messages  take me from the pain of wounds I have received. Each night I select a message, close my eyes and listen to your testimony.  Then I pray out loud to the Lord.  Your ministry is part of my whole armor of God.  Glory to God, in the name of Jesus.

Dear Bruce,

I recently purchased your book Jesus Wept, and I must tell you how it blessed my heart.  This has been a hard year for me.  I'm sure you know nothing ever turns out just like you think it will.  I got sick and was admitted to the hospital for surgery last week and I read your book during my recovery.  God gave you such a message to write in that book.  I never imagined Jesus weeping with me during my hard times.  I never thought about people having "September 11ths" all through their life.  It was such a fresh look at the story of Lazarus and a fresh look at the love of Jesus.  It was just what I needed at the time I needed it. 

 God used your book as a tool in my life to help me rediscover His love for me.  I know God gave you the words but thank you for allowing Him to use you.  You are a blessing, not only to me, but to millions around the world.

Hello Bruce

 Your books are truly, truly a blessing to all - myself included.  Thank you and thank you to Him that uses you as a channel through which to touch the lives of His children that He loves so much.  Jesus Wept touched a very deep chord within me and made me love Him even more.  It makes me want to draw even closer to Him, as close as I possibly can get.
