Praise be to God!

	Praise be to God!
	Praise be to God that you have a page that introduces the gospel to Wikipedians! I am so impressed that you put together this page! I hope you will be continually blessed by God. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline. Sparkling Waters (talk) 15:09, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Haha amen! Gospel for life! May God bless you too in your walk with Him! Jianhui67 ^T★C 15:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

A kitten for you for your gospel page! I really like how you put the gospel forward in a simple, straightforward way. Can I put your gospel page (or something close to it) on my userpage? I really admire it, but I don't want to copy your work.

Elsa Enchanted (talk) 15:21, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for the kitten hehe.. As long as God is glorified and souls are saved day by day, I am already satisfied. Yeah sure you can put it on your userpage. May God bless you too! Jianhui67 ^T★C 15:31, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
