Your ministry of worship blesses me more than I can say. Being a former member of a Vineyard Church for years, it takes me back to those precious times in God's Presence!  Sometimes I listen all day long to PBN Radio. It seems I Can't get enough of His Presence. Whenever, I am feeling the need for intimacy with our Lord all I have to do is click on Worship Radio and immediately I am drawn into the Presence of God.

God has really touched my husband through your broadcasts! It has given him such a hunger for the Holy Spirit of God that he said, "we have to get back into church" (Vineyard Fellowship). For years you were my only church. Every night we listen while reading emails and such. Now my husband Greg has requested that we add his pic to mine on the listeners page as a way of stating his support as well. So I have attached a recent pic of us both for the update.

Thank you, and God Bless you bunches.

Greg & Lilly Simmons

Hi and thank you. Please excuse my bad English.
Yesterday I remembered how much listening to your radio helped me so much during my most difficult days. Your meditation words helped me heal my heart wounds. "Quiet your mind, don't let those troubled thoughts come in, they are knocking"

I feel better now and of course as a bad ingrate, I don't praise God as I should. I don't want to do this; go back to my old life and bad habits (listening only to mundane music, desiring material things more than spiritual needs and being angry at everything). I need God in my life forever and you guys. Please don't ever leave your mission; reinsidents in sin we need you always to find our way back to God.

Thank You,
Nora LaMotte

Pat & Claudia:
Just wanted to thank you for your ministry. I listen all the time and have since the Holy Spirit led me to your station.

Pat and Claudia, you both have helped me through so much in my life. Thanks again for your beautiful spirit. Just sent a picture to let you know who you are talking with.

Hey Pat & Claudia:
Thought I'd share a picture for the Listeners' Gallery.

Praise Broadcasting Network was greatly Used by G-D to bring about the Victory HE had Promised while my family and I walked through a dark time.  I thank you both, again, for your prayers and encouragement!

And you're right, Pat!  There is an amazing Grace that brings Joy and Peace in the midst of hard times that just isn't logical.  When you don't know where you're going to be living tomorrow, or how you'll feed you family, you're just not suppose to have Joy inside!  But I did!  And it didn't increase after the L-RD Gave us our home.   It didn't increase after HE gave me this Recording Studio... it increased after I realized that HE sustains us no matter what.  THEN, my cup ran over!  Yeshua (Jesus) told us to ask that our joy might be full.  Anyone is happy after the answer comes.  When you ask in Faith... which is abandoning yourself to HIM in total Trust, THEN, your Joy is full!!!  Even before the answer comes!

We love you here at LifeLine Records!

Hey Pat and Claudia,
We "stumbled" across PBN through another website several years ago, and have just loved it!  You talk about bathing the house with the music.  Well, that's a habit we've had for many years.  Our home is a peaceful sanctuary, and having PBN playing is much better than any other offering we have in this area -- no offense to the others.  Our Lord is blessed and glorified with the praise music we fill our home and office with.  We receive the benefit from it all, and are so greatly encouraged by the two of you as you allow Jesus to live His life through you.  In doing so, Jesus keeps our focus and attention on Him with the great anticipation of our future life in Heaven.

There's no better place to be than in the exact center of His will, which is Jesus living in us and through us for His glory.

The attached Photo is my lovely bride Trish, our precious gift from God, Jacob, and me. We got married for better or worse. I couldn't do any better, and Trish couldn't have done any worse,  ha ha ha.

God is so good. I wish there were fireflies in this photo. This self portrait on the camera self timer was taken about this time two years ago [September 2003]. Jacob is now taller than Trish.

You, Claudia, Your Dad, and your entire family are in our prayers. Have a Great day in the Lord.

Lilly is the prayer warrior in this family. She has always been a intercessory prayer warrior--that in one of her callings from G-d. Not me, my prayers are short simple rough around the edges if you know what I mean.

As you grandchild is a special Joy, these are ours and Yes one is named Miracle but that another story of G-D's Love.

But Tell Claudia Lilly is praying for Her and We are believing for a break in all areas.

In Our Prayer John & Lilly Roberts

We are long time listeners of Praise Broadcasting and thought it was time for us to become active member of this mission. We wanted to be part of Pat’s team sending out the message of Christ love for us.

One of my personal favorite scriptures:
REV 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Hi Dear Friends,
Please always know that I don't give up easily. God really has to hit me hard to get me to change tracks. I will always be grateful for your prayers and the love that ya'll have poured out to me and my family. Our God and Father is truly faithful and true to carry us when we cannot walk. He will bring all things together for His Glory…..Right now I must close, so I send my love and prayers to each one, because He is Faithful and on the Throne for all of His children.

Dear Pat & Claudia,
We went to Westchester Medical Center to see my specialist, and then my other doctor who said she is pleased with my progress -- white count down to 7,500 now. That's normal range, but she wants to get the white blood cells down to 2000 & put the Leukemia into Remission. The only problem with that is she says it will be a minimum of two years on Interferon. I will get daily injections 7 days a week. Painful and nasty side effects, but God's grace is good, as well as His provision for the medication. Each shot is $400.00.

Pat, I just can't tell you how much God protects us even when we are not aware of it. The doctor says that other patients on Interferon .02 dose are lying up in bed, not able to function (muscle and joint aches, difficulty walking and moving). Their dosage is only 3 days a week. My dosage is 1.90 seven days a week. I just finished redecorating the house complete with painting, raising 3 floors, new carpet and linoleum, complete new bathroom, tub, shower and all. I only had minor side effects. If God has done so much for me, how much more will He do for you, being in the ministry you are in. We love you all. You have been a mighty blessing to us.

Gary and Cheryl have been there with us almost from the beginning. They have been very special friends who believe in the power of prayer, and the power of Praise and Worship. They have believed in the mission Jesus has given us for so many years, and have been there to lift us up when times were rough.

Jillian and her kids are a blessing to us. Although Jillian is busy with school and work, she still has time to be a prayer warrior for PBN.

Dear Pat & Claudia,
There is no music like what's on your broadcast. We really missed you the three weeks you were not there. Shirley had a heart attack and is doing better. Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks for the tapes you sent. They are medicine to our souls. Keep on keeping on. We love you!
God Bless you and all that you do!!!

Hi Pat and Claudia,
I love your dreams of inner tubing down the River of Life, heavenly "technology", and other details of heaven, which could just as well be true, as not. I love your music, and your view of God. I hope you won't feel guilty when I draw attention to your sarcastic disdain toward "dead Religion". I share it, and I think it is entirely godly and appropriate. How can we get some of the music you play that is not widely distributed? Other people might be interested in that, too. If you don't want to mention it on the air, maybe you could put some info into the Praise Letter.

Peter & Sharon

Dear Pat & Claudia,
I was touched in many ways by your February Praise Letter. I thought about all the hardships you have faced in the last few years. Although it may not be a real comfort, but I believe God has allowed these hardships to keep your hearts tender, not only toward Jesus, but also toward us out here … those whom you minister to every time you go on the air. Most of us are the ones Jesus came for, those who are sick and need the Great Physician. I don't think too many rich people listen to your program. If some do, I pray that God will touch their hearts to support you. I know what you do, you do because of Jesus. But, I just want to say "Thank You" for hanging in there. Know that every trial you face, every decision, every sickness, every storm, debt, every minute you're so tired you wonder how you can wake up and work another day, one of us is facing a trial, decision, sickness, storm, debt, is tired and feels like giving up. Then we hear in our spirit, "Never Give Up." "Give Me your heart my son." "Turn up your stereo full blast and worship Jesus", etc. The Holy Spirit penetrates our hearts and we cry out to Jesus, and we are lifted up and encouraged. Never give up till we can say like Jesus, "It is finished!" Love in Jesus.

Dear Pat & Claudia
This letter is to keep in touch with you. You know about Dawni. We have been unable to keep up communication as we would like, as we basically spend twelve hours a day, seven days a week with her. Life has changed. Please know that every prayer, phone call, letter, note, gift, visit, every hug, every act of love, and every loving thought toward Dawni and us is DEEPLY APPRECIATED! The story is this: On Saturday, Sept. 30, 1995, a beautiful fall day, about 3:30 p.m., Dawni rolled her VW Jetta several times, landing upside down in a corn field. Her right lung collapsed. Her left collar bone was broken (seat belt), and she received what is termed as catastrophic deep brain injury. She was in a coma for basically three months. We were given very little hope either (initially) for her life or (later) for her to ever speak, understand language, see, perceive what she sees, walk, or have any sort of normal life. What a shocking reality check to realize that we are not in charge of our lives! In one moment our plans were canceled and replaced by the unknown. What pain and struggle it has been for all of us to sift through our value system to distill what is stable and solid vs. what is trivial and temporary. The bottom line question has been the character and power of God: i.e., either God is all powerful but cruel, or loving but not all powerful. WRONG! His Word and our past experience say neither of the above is true. He is all powerful. He is also all loving. BUT He is also all wise. Our struggle lies in our short-sightedness. When we do not understand His ways we can trust His character, that He is working in wonderful ways (He promises!) beyond our understanding!

Here is a recent picture of Dawni since her accident over a year ago. She is beginning to look like her old self again (Praise the Lord!). Also, she is trusting God that He is good and has a good plan for her future, and she shares this with other brain injured patients and therapists!

We ask for more faith right now. Her progress is less dramatic now. This is the time for persistent faith, just putting one foot in front of another. We ask for healed eyesight (new glasses don't work), heal tremor in right hand/arm, total function of left side, to walk independently, ability to care for herself, her speech to be habitually clearer, increased attention to others' speech. Thank you so much for your prayers and love!

Pat (her mother)
Aimes, Iowa
(Since writing this, we have been notified by her mother that Dawni's progress has improved substantially. She graduated High School May 25.)

Dear Pat & Claudia
Things are really busy - like always. When are they not? We love our beautiful house& continue to unpack. We have found a church that has some real"umph" in the area of Praise & Worship, also. Just pray that Mark will adjust. He is 14 and says youth is boring. I think it may be he misses his pastor and friends. The enemy had a few things to say about Steve's job, but he is not who we listen to. Jesus is our provider. I am always grateful that you all continue to seek what God wants, and don't give in to earthly ways of doing it.

Hi Pat & Claudia,
Thank you so much for the tape. I really enjoy listening to it. All is OK here. Dick is doing better and seems to be improving more than he was. No more drinking. Praise God for that.Johanna is doing fine. She sends her love to both of you. Pray for our children to be saved, and all of our loved ones. I'm still doing great after my nose surgery to help my breathing. Thank God! Here's a gift to help out. Use it for whatever is needed. We love you both. We are keeping all of you in our prayers.

Dear Claudia and Pat
Praise God for your message in the January Praise Letter. I see exactly what you are saying. Hopefully it will open the eyes of all who read it. God showed us to pray and give only where He directed.
My prayer is for Christians to be good stewards and give where God shows them. I feel that your time is coming for a "breakthrough." You've been faithful, diligent, and trusting God. He NEVER fails us. You will be rewarded and see His faithfulness. Galatians 6:9. I love you.
