Hello

[anita]

Hi,
I am Anita from Dayton, Ohio.  I am a grandma to three 2 boys and 1 little munchken.  I have been looking for a church or a place to worship whether in person or on the internet.  I am not of any denomination but was raised catholic..
I know Pastor Trent Cole as we used to work together quite a bit at 106.  I was kind of watching TV yesterday and I saw this face on the screen and I thought I know this face so I watched the entire program and then it dawned on me who it was.  I like what I heard and what to find out more.

Well thats wonderful, Anita!

Pastor Cole has a church in Dayton, Ohio and also a ministry online where we do LIVE Bible Studies on paltalk every Tues, and Thurs evenings at 8 PM your time. I hope you will join us for study.

We also have free study material we can send you if you will PM me with your mailing address. He would love for you to have it.

Also, I will let him know about you so that you can get in contact with one another, hows that?

We are so glad you joined us here at GRACE TEACHER Ministries and hope to get to know you better. He is having an upcoming conference in your area that you might want to attend. We would all love to meet you.

Nice to met you.
I am not sure what PM means.
I would love to talk to Pastor Trent Cole

[Christine]

PM means personal message, or private message.

You can send me your mailing address thru my email if you like...goinupru@yahoo.com, and I will make sure you get a study packet.

I talked to Trent this morning and he was so excited when I told him what you had said. He would LOVE to talk with you. I can either give you his cell phone nbr, or you can give me your phone nbr and I will have him call YOU.

He did remember you and is anxious to speak with you.

I am heading down to South Carolina this weekend for about a week to visit my Dad.  I will be with my daughter and two grandsons and the boys don't know their grandpa as well as they would like to.  He knows the kids are coming but he does not know his baby daughter is coming.  I can't wait to see his face .
I have had a few long talks with Pastor Cole and he was always pretty kind with a great sense of humor.  I had no idea that he was a pastor and feel guilty for calling him cole.

Dear Anita,

Trent is a very kind person. He spoke highly of you, so I'm sure that whatever you called him never even phased him, so don't you worry. I know he would love to speak with you...so don't be shy. First and foremost he is just a man who loves to help others understand Gods ways and plans and he is a wonderful teacher.

I hope you have fun on your visit this weekend to your Dad. It sounds like it will be exciting and I wish I could see his face too! Be sure to tell us all about it when you get back, OK?

Your friend,
Christine

I got back from South Carolina and the trip lasted longer then I thought.  I had a wonderful bittersweet time.  My dad is 80 and has heart problems so when I left I was praying that I would see him again.  My dad really enjoyed my grandsons.  My grandsons are 15 and 10 and the last time he saw them the 10 year old was an infant.  My dad is a computer nut as my grandsons are so they spent alot of time on the computers.  My older grandson is into heavy metal and my dad was listening to his music and the conversation that followed had us rolling on the ground laughing.  The boys helped my dad plant his flowers and as a reward he took them to get ice cream.
We drove the scenic way through VA and WV and let's say I loved the vieiws from the moutains but driving down the mountains to go in to this large
 curve left us shaken.  We took 75 back.

Hi Anita,

Glad that you had such an exciting trip and a good time for everyone. Sounds like things went well with your dad and your grandsons and some bonding took place...isn't that wonderful? They will have some terrific memories and so will he.

Hi Anita!
My name is Darryl.
Welcome to our "family"! Boy, you ARE lucky to live in Dayton, where you can attend Pastor Trent's church! He is not all that formal, and I believe that even if you called him TC, he would NOT mind!
I live in Panama City, Florida. There are over 200 churches here, and not ONE of them rightly divides the word of truth! So I study with Pastor Cole on PalTalk every Tuesday and Thursday! I really enjoy it. He is such a god teacher, and so knowledgeable! I count myself lucky to have been found by Christine, my DEAR sister in Christ on the Amazon dot com forums!
I long for fellowship with like minded believers, but I will NOT sacrifice sound doctrine for fellowship.

Once again, welcome. Hope you stay around...... it gets lonely sometimes!

Your Brother in Christ,

Darryl
