Greetings in the name of JESUS!
I have been meaning to sit down & write this ever since the weekend you were here. I wanted you to know that my wife & I were truly blessed by your ministry. I have always known that to tithe was of biblical instruction, but never really understood the principle behind the whole scenario. What I can tell you however is that your message to us that weekend was a confirmation that we are on the right track. First let me say this so you will understand my comments. My wife & I were away from God for 14 yrs. We recently were placed by God in this church back in January of this year. Before you came God had been dealing with me as far back as 2 years about being debt free. In May of last year I canceled all of my retirement to relieve some of the debt that we had. Don't misunderstand, not all debt is gone, but a huge amount was paid down. Since you were here we have paid off another charge account that we had. I could go on & on about how God is moving in our lives, but my main point of this letter is to thank you for coming to our church & allowing the Holy ghost to minister through you. I would ask you to continue to pray for us as we pray for you. We truly hope that sister Carol's father is okay. We will pray for him. As I close this letter, it is with truly extreme gratitude that we thank you. As we know, it is God almighty that allows us these insights into his word. As you have time please write. We look forward to hearing from you. God Bless.

I love your show and prayer. I feel uplifted.
I want to express my joy for the way you love your wife Carol. When I watch you on TV you look at her so adoring, and with so much love. And she in turn. During her recent cancer difficulties, you were so worried and expressed such love and compassion. It is refreshing to see a man hold his wife with such joy and love on TV and it is not for the camera, it is real. When you reach over to touch her arm or shoulder and the love is so strong, it sends out a message of what God's love is all about. Through Christ's eyes and heart to you, and you give to her. I am so happy she is back on the show, I missed her so much. She is such a lovely lady. This is so important to me because of the marriage that went so wrong for me because we were not evenly yoked. Thank you both for the real genuine marital and spiritual love during your show and throughout your ministry. God has blessed you both for your faith. All things through Christ our Saviour

Praise Report: It was such a blessing to have Bro. McSpadden here to minister at our church. His singing is tremendous and the word he brings to the church is one that is on time to see the body of Christ become all that it is supposed to be and more. Bro. Gary's personality and delivery makes it easy for the people to receive and to respond to what God is saying. He gives you a real feeling that he is there to help you and bless your church. Our people were greatly blessed by the word that Bro. Gary preached that morning brought a great release and freedom concerning finances. One lady sowed a $1000 seed after hearing Bro. Gary's message and the very next morning received a check for nearly $5000 totally unexpected. I believe you and your church will be greatly blessed and lifted to a new level through Bro. Gary's ministry.

Gary & Carol, Just got word that my 6 yr old granddaughter is off all medications and is completely symptom free!!! This is nothing short of a miracle. She has experienced almost constant bronchitis, congestion, ear infections, coughing since she was born, and was diagnosed with severe asthma. Since you began praying for her, she has become completely symptom free, healthy and needs no medication, nor breathing treatments. Thank you for your prayers, they have been answered.
God Bless you, Love, Jo

We live in Florida and before it (Hurricane Frances) hit us we prayed for God's protection and when we got back to our home, we had no damage at all. Homes around us were damaged but we were spared. We really thank God for that. We knew he is able to protect us from harm.

Subject: Your Show on Daystar
Dear Gary,
In the last year I have had trouble getting and keeping a job as I have many problems with my arms, hands, elbows and back. I have been very depressed.
Between Thanksgiving I was Channel Surfing on a Saturday night and found your show.
You have changed my life, by teaching me that God is really there, even for me, I was brought up Catholic and believed that God would not accept me back so easily. Although we are still financially stressed, I am at peace with talking to the Lord and really understanding that all I had to do was ask for his help. I still have trouble some days with leaving up to the Lord, but just take time to pray and I seem better. I can't call your prayer line as I cry when I talk about my problems, so if you could, ask them to pray for financial freedom for us ( my husband and I) and for our troops all over the world.
Again, God Bless you for being there when I needed a way to speak to the Lord.
Your music is very uplilfting, but I usually cry cause it means so much to me now.

Praise Report: Gary, My brother died of lung cancer on February 11, 2003, after 3 years of treatment. I had been praying and believing for total healing for him, so when he died I had lots of questions, why didn't God answer my prayers to heal him? Did do all I could do? I was very sad and grief stricken.

Less than 2 weeks later I learned you were going to be in concert in Mobile at the Forest Hill Assembly of God. I had seen you 35 years ago here in Mobile and you touched me so deeply then, I was determined to see you again.

I was so moved by your music, your testimony, your annointing and so joyful from that evening, and it helped me overcome the pain of the loss of my brother and I feel that God sent you to Mobile to help me through my grief. Also allowed me to speak with you and then become part of your team - I have had very little time to grieve since then. Thank you so much, you have deeply touched my life and lifted me above the pain.

The bible verse "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart" is so true, I believe God looked down on me at my time of pain and loss and searched my heart to find a way to return my joy.

Thank you for all you do, all you are,

Love in Christ,
Jo


Dear Gary, I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for helping me find my faith again. I thought it was gone, but apparently it had just gone to sleep for a while. You see, nine months ago I lost my husband after a long battle with cancer. Doctors had to remove his voice box and he couldn't talk, and due to botched surgery his esophagus collapsed and he couldn't eat so he was on a permanent feeding tube and had a permanent trach in his throat. I had to learn to become a nurse to take care of him. It was so hard to work a full time job to keep the household going and take care of him as well, but you have to do what you have to do. Strangely enough, the cancer is not what killed him. He caught his heel on a broken tile in the bathroom and it threw him backward and he hit his head on the sharp corner of the door facing and was dead when he hit the floor. But ever since he died I have been plagued by guilt---did I do enough to take care of him, did I try hard enough to help him get better--could I have prevented him from falling--could I have stopped him from dying! No answers came.. only more tears! My doctor says I am having a delayed reaction to his death and I haven't grieved enough. Now that's the silliest thing I have ever heard! How much more can I cry?!@#! Then last night I pulled your "Back Home Again" cd out and started listening. When I came to "Bring it All To Him", I found my answer at last. I wasn't allowing Jesus to help me through the healing process. I was trying to do it alone. I listened to that song over and over and over again. Then I got down on my knees and gave it all over to Him..and he touched me, and I felt a sense of peace that I haven't felt since Clay died. Thank you for recording that song.
And by the way, I still want to hear you sing "He" one more time!

Hello Gary, I am praising God that I am a 12 year free of cancer child of his. I know God has left me free of this so that I may enjoy the good singing from you, Dino & Wife. I met you first at Farley St. Baptist Church in Waxahachie, Tx. and have since seen you in Branson along with your Sister and Dino. I thank God for wonderful folks like you. God Bless you in your ministry.

Gary,

Thank you for coming and being a part of service last night. We had a teenage boy saved during the service. He had been coming to our youth group for a few weeks. The Lord used your presentation and it was exciting to see visible results. Everyone I have talked to today was really impressed with you and your wonderful wife, Carol.

Hope you made it to Nashville okay! And we prayed that Carol's dad made it through his procedure in Texas. Once again, thank you so much for sharing your talent and gifts with us! God bless you and your ministry.

Faithfully His,

Jim P, Pastor

Praise Report: My nephew found out his cancer is confined to the neck area. Surgery and radiation will be required, but it is believed that a full recovery can be made. Thank you for your prayers.
