11/09/09 Dear Leonard,
Thanks for your ministry
I am the pastor's wife at NWF, (NorthWest Fellowship) and just want to thank you for ministering so truthfully and compassionately to our church yesterday. I have heard wonderful things about God's Word spoken through you. Trey listened to your sermon online this morning and said it was so full of grace and truth and just what many of us need to hear. Thank you! I hope to listen some time today. We have heard great things about you from Joe and are grateful for your life and ministry. We hope to meet you this week.
God bless you!

Thank you very much what you had to say to me, it was very moving and meant a lot to me. If you have looked at my profile you can see I am a very dedicated football player. I was about to fail off of the team and let my entire school down but that next day I was able to pull my grades up to passing and am able to play. Thank you so much again. I can always use prayer just to grow up into the man God wants me to be. I will also give thanks to God for your witness to me and the words he told me through you. Thank you

December 7, 2009 the lowest point thus far of my life. After running into conflicts with work and other issues with relationships; I started feeling worthless and like I didn’t matter to anyone. I started to question my purpose in life. Why am I here? I figured the world could be better off without me or at the least that it wouldn’t miss me. After an almost successful suicide attempt I discovered something. I discovered my true friends and how much I was actually loved by my family. How I never felt so loved and cared for by anyone. I also reunited my relationship with God after He spared my life and gave me yet another chance. I’m thankful to today be alive and to be able to wake up and to put one foot in front of the other and go out and be blinded by the sun light on a beautiful day. To just enjoy the great qualities God has created. “I now know why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed because I know whom I believe and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted in him for that day”. I feel free finally!
Kevin Mast: Feb 17, 2010 (OHIO) -What a man of God! Leonard Evans: It's been an amazing experience getting to know this wonderful Godly man. He is a true example of what being God’s servant is all about. I have had the pleasure of meeting, praying, and going on a mission trip with this man. He shows the love of God every where He goes; I have been so blessed in supporting him over the last 7 years. He has strengthened my walk with Jesus Christ and for that I am forever grateful. God Bless!

Hey Leonard,
My testimony on so far what has happened since I met you and even before and how you have helped me along with my journey.
My whole life, I've been to a handful of churches only when I slept over at a friends place. So going into my adult years and joining the Team, I started to search for God more after realizing from Pastor Dickey the importance of finding out what you believe. Some friends invited us out to church a few times but I only went twice and did not pursue it more. I felt like God was opening doors for me than after I didn't pursue it he would close it and that kept happening for awhile. Than one Team event I was waiting in line to go in the event and a man bumped into me and we started talking, laughing and I shared things with him that I never really shared with anyone else. After he left I felt encouraged more to pursue God. This man’s name was Leonard Evans. And even from the first run in with each other we ran into each other a few more times that night, and every time I left him I
felt encouraged. I look back on that time now and think that God sent him to me because encouragement is exactly what I needed to gain a more hunger for God. When I left that Team seminar I felt more encouraged to pursue God than I ever felt about anything else. Shortly after I was invited to another church and when I went I felt the spirit was in that church. We currently go to church regularly.
I also have repented of my sins, been baptized in the name of Jesus to have all my sins washed away
and now just one more gift and I will be all set.
I thank Leonard for the encouragement which has played a vital role in my journey!
May God bless you real good, Eric Robitaille
Iasi (Jesse) Peña April 15 at 3:15 pm Leonard, how are you? God bless you!
know that you were a blessing for my family; I tell you that God used to tell us something at the right time! it is amazing how God works; Look at how we met, in a third-world country in order to be blessed through you.
know that the word God gave you is because it is true; we came from Mexico with many difficult situations.
These last few days in our marriage here in Canada, we have been going through some crisis but after that prayer, I could express to you the real value of my wife; and besides, I was thinking about giving up the ministry; but something inside me told me that no. So when you prayed and said that my heart wants to serve God as I did in the beginning, even though I had thought to do so, God touched my heart and renewed! And believe me I realized that the service to God is like the "mafias", once you enter you can not go out and feel the passion to serve God anywhere else!
Leonard, I charge you to keep praying so much for me and my family

Leonard,
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! Our God is so amazing, and sometimes it takes life's difficult decisions to make us realize just how amazing he really is! I never got the chance to tell you how much you've meant to me. So I'm going to take the opportunity right now to tell you.....I know God placed you in my life for a reason! During some of my toughest times, you became available to me through His divine plans! You have always been a huge encouragement to me and I will be forever grateful to you for that. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know God has some awesome things in store for you as you embark on a new chapter in your life! I am saddened to see you move, but at the same time very happy for you and excited for your future opportunities!
May God richly bless you!
Darrick
