Dearest Jim,
First of all, I sincerely appreciate reading your material on fivedoves, as I do with so many others. My heartfelt gratitude for your ministry and stewardship.
I also wanted to thank you for answered prayers, by sharing the Morgan Moringa testimonial video:

I was called to be a local church pastor for 14-years, with a church I've been a member for almost 30 yrs. with the (WCG) worldwide church of God, aka Herbert Armstrong. You probably have heard about its prior reputation as being one of the most legalistic church denominations, rivaling Jehovah Witnesses and Mormon's LDS. Thank God, it was by the grace of God, that our leaders had their eyes opened in 1995.
I became the local church pastor and ordained in 1998. I also had owned a successful I.T. computer business, until I was called to take over the small church in Hawaii. When God called me, I knew in my spirit that God wanted my wife and I to give up our successful business career of almost 21 years, and in the process, lost our income, personal savings, inheritance, retirement savings, property and investments, all for the sake of following and serving Christ...essentially 14-years of spiritual and mental hell, dying to self, brokenness, picking up our crosses to serve our church and serve at a veterans homeless and recovery shelter at the U.S. Barbers Point NAS.
It wasn't until more than a decade ago, that in my search for the truth, I deliberately tried to find out if the "rapture" was a false theology or theory...in essence a fabrication of theological error. That was then. Now, I'm totally convince of the truth, thanks to John Tng and fivedoves; and once again, God opened up my spiritual eyes to the greatest mystery of all, the Bride of Christ. My conversation was nearly parallel to the legalism of Saul of Tarsus. We practiced a modern form of Jewish observances in uber legalism from Sabbath keeping, abstaining from eating unclean foods, observed all of the 7 Levitical feasts/festivals, triple tithing...the whole Pharisaical mentality played almost verbatim in the Gospel narratives. No one can ever imagine, and I can't even share what happened to me as an abandoned orphaned kid and the physical, mental and sexual cruelty I had to endure but that's another story. Now, I'm a born-again, baptized member of the royal family of God's kingdom...there, truly, but the grace of God go I...
To make it short, Jim, the Moringa story I believe is God's answer for my financial stress we've had to endure for the past 7-years. Thanks to you, I signed up as a business partner. But I have to share a story. One of my members has stage-4 breast cancer, tumor growth, bloated stomach and possible renal stress. This past Sunday, Aug. 18, I gave a couple boxes of SuperMix, and shared the story of what a remarkable product that could possibly help her. Then my wife and I prayed for healing and encouragement for the husband to take it to his bedridden ailing wife, whom doctors told her to contact Hospice. Then I clicked on your box, "It's A True Miracle!" which you wrote today, 8/19, Monday. What an enormous joy and confirmation reading the story you shared about Judy Moore, who had the same dreadful disease. Thank you, Jim!
Much love to you, and all my new and beloved friends at fivedoves,
Aloha,
Pastor G (Gary Crowell)
