Email sent to Pastor Vitale on Pastor Appreciaton Day - November 5, 2017:
Dear Pastor,
On this Pastor Appreciation Day, I would like to begin by saying that not a day goes by that I don't thank the Lord for leading me to the LEM website back in 1997. I had no idea that clicking on your website would change my life forever.
Being a spiritual person for most of my life, I could easily have fallen deeper into witchcraft if I hadn't been led to read many of your earlier messages, and I know that it was no coincidence that I asked to transcribe messages for the ministry. God was operating behind the scenes, carefully orchestrating the path for my life. There were many bumps and bruises along the way, and things I had done that I had to confess and repent (many times), but I am thankful for your forgiveness, for giving me a place in the ministry to be a part of the publishing team, and for your faithful preaching twice a week, something I always look forward to, and which has taught me discipline.
I have been blessed by the treasure trove of messages on the website, and I have searched many times for subjects and topics when I need more than just a surface answer to some difficult biblical questions. Your wisdom and knowledge is above and beyond the average minister in the Church, and you have a way of understanding politics with a godly point of view, that it just is so satisfying to be fed the strong meat that Christ needs to grow. You have taught us all how to think deeply about issues and I am so thankful for that.
It is an honor to be a part of the Lord's end-time ministry, and I pray that God blesses you with continued revelation. I truly believe that the Doctrine of Christ is the message of the future, and I am so excited for what is coming next! Thank you from the depths of my heart for your commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the ministry. I deeply appreciate your love and prayers for all of us. I wish I could be there to hug you in person.
Love, R
