" Dearest Brother Gary Rayburn and Bob Wilson,

Greetings in Christ mighty name!
I received the cd tapes a couple of days ago.  Also  the CD Ministry Newsletters and the Tract.  Thank you so much Brother Gary and Bob.  I was so inspired and blessed upon reading all your newsletters and  hearing  all those cds, I really felt the presence of God drawing within me while listening to the beautiful songs  from the cds.  I felt so great and being victorious to hearing  all the  testimonies from you, from bro. Bob Wilson, from Sister Stephanie Wilson and from bro. Tony McMullen.  Truly, God is so good!  I praised God for the great things he has done to your whole lives. Also for the  " ABSOLUTELY FREE" tract.  I have  used it for our  evangelism yesterday there was one  family that was so impressed with  the tract and they asked for more copies from me because  they also want to give some copies of the tract to their unsaved neighbors and  relatives.  Can I have some more of these tools?  I just let my neighbors borrow the 2 cds so they too can know  how great  our Lord Jesus Christ is  in our lives, and they too can become Christians.  Hope you can send more cd for the lost here.  Through these tract and  cd's they will know Jesus in their lives, and many souls will be saved from the darkness world.
 I'm so thankful to you  and to all members of  RIG Ministries for sending these effective tools to reach the lost here in Philippines.
Hope you can visit the Philippines to see our ministries here, to conduct some seminar for the Pastors and Church leaders, to teach us how to become   more   effective soul winners for Christ. We need your help to  reach our country.  We need your prayers for our ministries here.  Specially to our children ministry, a lot of children were abandoned and neglected by their parents.
My prayer is that hopefully we could see each other working hand in hand , and be together with the same purpose of ministry for God's glory, in His perfect time and will.  We will be glad to accommodate you here.  Hope to hear from you soon. Kindly give my best regards to all the saints in RIG MINISTRIES.
thank you for all your prayers.  We will pray for you too. MORE POWER  TO RIG MINISTRIES, always.    Sincerely yours,   LLoyd J. Labus"

"Gary, 

this was one of the better newsletters I have received,  I really enjoyed the story about the pastor with the bird cage,  as well as the story about the boy that brought the umbrella having faith that after the prayer for rain that it indeed would.  Good stuff,  keep up the great work,  you and the ministry continue to be a big blessing in my life,  also,  need more CD's when you get a chance put me on this week's list.  Thanks,  and as always,  blessings from Jenn"

 "Brother Gary,
 
During the past week two boxes of CD*s arrived.  Thank you for keeping me supplied with these excellent ministry tools.  I have been at the Petro on I-85 every weekend this month and the opportunities abound to bless drivers with the RIG Ministries CD*s!  I have often been able to use the Jackie Bowling CD*s as an example of how God can use even the CB as a ministry tool.  I know that God has been working greatly through your expanded services in the new worship center at  RIG Ministries and I praise Him for that.  Keep working and keep looking up!  Our redemption is most certainly drawing nigh!     Brother Larry"

"Dear Rig

I really love God.  I have been in church since I was young.  I really like listening to your cd's. I prayed the sinners prayer on the tract you sent me and  I am living for Jesus and I really want to get saved so I can go to heaven.  I am not the same person I was and if you want to tell people this story I will really appreciate it.  I am 21 years old and I am going to live for the Lord.  If you will please send me a bible and if you want me to pay for it let me know how much it cost.  I really like that song by Joe Arview "the battle of the Lord."   I really like the Tony Mac cd's too.  I am going to try and come to Carmi to the Upper Room service some time.  God is my savior and I am going to try to talk to people about Jesus.  William C."

"Dear Rig Ministries

Please find enclose a donation for your ministry.  I'd so appreciate if you'd send me the tape or cd of "God's Power" by pastor Thurman Scrivner I have a friend who the Dr says has bone cancer, but that's no harder for Jesus to heal than a hang nail, and maybe it isn't bone cancer anyway.  Please don't mistake me, I believe in Drs. but, I believe Jesus is the "Great Physician."  Also I'd like another cd of Donnie Swaggert's "Talking About The Holy Spirit." Thank you so much and God Bless you in 2010.  Elaine"

 

 
Dear Brother,
 Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I have seen your website I am really encouraged. I would like to request for you to come here to  Pakistan to preach the Gospel.  It will be a great honor for me and my team to be your host here in Pakistan.
 I am an organizer to arrange massive crusades and conferences/Seminars all over the Pakistan.  In every crusade 10,000 to 25,000 people come...  Waiting to hear from you ..George in Pakistan

Bob and Gary,
 
Occasionally we all find ourselves feeling a little bit down, not really depressed or teary eyed but somewhat low.  On Friday October 16, 2009, I found myself feeling just that way.  My family and I had been separated by over 4,000 miles for over two weeks and would not be together for another two weeks.  There are families that have been through much worse, but that didn*t relieve my feeling a little lonely at the time. We had been apart before, but not for this long and I truly missed them.
 
Oct. 16th was the second day of a five day trip, flying people in and out of Manokotak, AK for a Moravian Church conference when I stopped in Eek, AK, to pick up nine passengers.  We quickly loaded the luggage and took a few minutes to exchange names and greetings.  Sally Teeluk (Tee-Luck) caught my attention with the bright red jacket she was wearing.  Not because it was red, but because of the logo on front of the upper left shoulder.  It took two looks for me to believe what I was seeing.  There on the jacket was a big red *W* with a green stripe beside it.  The words read *Les Wilson Drilling, Carmi, IL.*  I yelled, *Hey! Do you know Bob Wilson?  I do! My wife, Wendee, is from Carmi and her father, Bill Ward, works for Bob Wilson!*  It came out of my mouth so fast that Sally didn*t have a chance to respond.  I was excited that a little piece of something familiar and close had found me when everything seemed so far away.  It was a great encouragement and reminder that we are never very far from home, a reminder that our friends and family love us and pray for us. 
 
I*m sure that cheering up someone in Western Alaska wasn*t the first thing on your mind when you decided to have those jackets made. But, thanks anyway and never underestimate the affect you can have on others no matter how insignificant your actions may seem.

 Thank you so very much for all that you are doing through RIG Ministries, especially the support that you are providing for truck drivers.
 Last Saturday, at our truck stop chapel, a driver came in who had been driving a truck for 47 years without a chargeable accident.  (I had given him a gospel track earlier in the day and because of that he decided to come to our evening Bible study.)  He said that when he gets home from this trip he is going to retire.  At the end of Bible study I asked him if he knew that he would go to Heaven when he dies.  He said that he knew that he would not go to heaven because he had never invited Christ into his life.  He said that he would like to invite Jesus into his heart.  I had the privilege of leading him in the Sinner*s Prayer.  Of course I gave him a Bible and marked some key Scripture for him, but I was so thankful to have some of your CD*s on hand, which he gratefully received.  I know that the CD*s will be an encouragement to him as he begins his new life in Christ.   LDS in GA
 
love what you are doing
I do the same thing,leaving cd,s @ gas stations  and where I can.  I drive a truck for Pitt Ohio, a city driver so I see the same people  weekly, I just got my first taste of your ministry with   Buddy Farris,       (Loved it ) I had not heard of Buddy but I have passed it on !  I would like your permission  to make and leave your cd,s( @ no cost to anyone).  I have been making tapes and cd,s for years . 1996 when I got saved, and have been mailing tapes and cd s all around the USA.  I have also listen to Tony McMullen, all I can say is wow I  cried with joy when he got SAVED, gave it to a driver I know, he was going through a toll booth just crying and Praising the Lord, she looked @ him like he was  in trouble, he  told me, man I could not talk, just cry!  Ain'T GOD GOOD!!!!!! 
Thanks for what you do and hope I'll be hearing from you.

*Dear Gary, Bob and all the Ministry.
   I praise God for moving your spirits to create Receiving In God Ministries a very fruitful ministry.  It has allowed Christians like me who needed an avenue of releasing upon others the love of God He has shown that He has for all creation.  The thousands of cd*s that I have had the chance to put in the hands of others has been a blessing not only to them but also to my spiritual growth.   I praise all of you for your faithfulness to spread the Good News through your cd ministry.  Enclosed is a love offering to help you continue your good work.  I also could use more cd*s. 
  Love Bob & family*

*Dear Gary

Well, the cd distribution is going well, in fact I have just about ran out again.  The other day, I stopped at the small truck stop not far from where I live and normally I am on the road all week, but we have been a little slow and we came home in the middle of the week and the display was completely empty.  Later that day I got some cd*s down there.  The manager said they really like them.  I thought, we  want to get them out, but we don*t want to run out.  Please find enclosed a donation to help some on the cost.  I wish I could send more.  Keep up the ministry and please send more cd*s.  In Christ, Ted**

* Greetings in the name of our Lord!

Thank you so much for the cd*s they are very faith building.  I know you*re very busy sending out the cd*s, answering letter,praying for the sick & ones who are in dire need.
   But, you*re doing a great job!  Also I enjoy coming down to the live services at Rig Ministries.  I take my friends when I can find someone to ride with me, even though the Lord is always with me.  I too always carry some cd*s with me so, I can listen to God*s word being taught while I*m driving.
   Please receive this offering in the name of our Lord & savior Jesus Christ who made salvation possible for all who will believe.  Bless God*s word and your ministry.   Elaine*

"Hello and thanks for letting your light shine for Jesus!

Thank you for the cd's.  What a blessing they have been for me.  I'm having fun sharing them with others.  I will continue to pray for your ministry.  Again Thank you for all you do for the drivers out here on "That Ole Lonesome Road"  God Bless, Katy

 

 

 
Dear Gary;

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the box of cd*s I received from Rig ministries.  How I came to learn about Rig Ministries I was at my sisters church in Odin Il. Pastor Curt Mathews is the minister there.  It*s a very nice church, lots of wonderful  people filled with the spirit of the Lord.  As I was leaving after the service I noticed these cd*s on the table.  I looked through them and picked out about 7 of them and brought them home.  I listened to them all, my husband and I were so blessed by them.  He got on the website and ask if we could have some more and you sent us a box.  Thank you so much.  We enjoy them, they are so encouraging and uplifting and I have given them away to neighbors, friends, and my church. 
   So I would like to know if you would send me another box?  Sometimes when I get discouraged I put a cd in and listen to it, and it gives me renewed strength to get over what is bothering me.
God bless you and your ministry.  I want to support the ministry as  I can.  Thank you so much for what you do in caring for people and getting the Word of our Lord out there.  Please continue sending me the cd newsletter*s.  I enjoy reading them.  Thanks Again, Jim & Reba*

*Dear Ones in the Lord

Praise the Lord, I am in need of more cd*s where I place them in the ok variety store they are out- as well as in the barber shop and the pawn shop.  I have become a part of the bread ministry in my church and this is another opportunity to give cd*s out along with the bread.  Your new October cd I just received is Desperate People- Desperate Measures,  Powerful!  Please send several of them as well as some of *Rose of Columbine* *Free in Christ.*  Please find enclosed a donation to help this anointed ministry keep on going. 
God Bless Imogene*

"Hi!
We have had the pleasure of listening to some of your cd's.  They are so powerful.  We've heard the one where the little boy calls the radio station about the cow & the calf and how he had to take  care of it and how much he loved it.  If you could send us that cd and maybe some others we would surely appreciate it.  Your ministry is so powerful  we would love to share it with family and friends.  Thanks so much, The Harris Family in Nebraska"

"I want to say thanks for all the hard work you are doing and say that I picked up 3 of your cd's with Tony (Mac) McMullens story.  To tell the truth I stopped at this truck stop with out needing to do so, at first I didn't know why I had stopped or for what until I walked into the store and as I'm walking out there was 3 cd's that someone had left.   I got all 3 cd's got back in my truck and before I stared to roll I put one of the cd's in and I started to go, but I must have put in the wrong cd because later when I heard the other 2 cd's I found out that the one that I put in first was the 2nd part.  Hope that you can keep up the hard work in  helping people like me come to the Lord.   I'm a true believer in GOD but I am not saved, GOD lives in my heart but I am not a Christian.   I am still not there in my life, hope one day soon I can become a good Christian and serve the lord as he wants me to do so.
Thanks for all you do.  Daniel"

"Hooked on your messages!
My brother is an over the road trucker.  He brought home one of your 16 Roses CD *s.  I listened to it and  really liked  it.  There is so many on your web site that I think that I would find  it hard to pick just one.  I am torn between Lost as a Goose in a Snowstorm and the Gospel Music Song Book.  So I*ll let you pick the one you*ll send. 
Dorothy"
 
"Hello out there in RIG Ministries and God Bless
 
In February you sent me some of your CD's. I really enjoyed them and have shared them with many people. I was wondering if you could send me some more.  I'm from Canada and I hope you still send them up  here.            Wonita "
 

Hi
 
I have a friend that has a lot of your cds.  I recently was with him and listened to a few of them.  I would take any and all that you could and would send me.  I am a spiritual person...but have yet to fully commit to Jesus...which I know is wrong...
 I really liked the message that your cds give and the real stories that you share with everyone.
 and yes - my friend is a trucker driver too....he is special...to me....but still waiting to see if I am special to him...but anyways...because of him - I am requesting cds from you.    Thank you  C. J.

 "Hello fellow brothers in Jesus,
 
Could you please send me 2 copies of  Making America Remember, Dr Tim Lee's testimony.
I want to give this to my brother, David a former Marine and a former truck driver.  He has a disease called dystopia
which was caused by contaminated drinking water on a Marine base. The doctors give him just a few short months left to live
but we as followers of Christ know what Jesus can do for him. Would you dear brothers in Christ continue to pray for him everyday in the upper room to know Jesus and be healed.  The thief is trying to destroy him but may Jesus give him life.
 
God bless you all,   Larry"

"Greetings, I found a gospel tract 13 years ago and said my first sinners prayer mostly as an experiment.  Well Jesus doesn't forget when you pray to Him.  It took Him these 13 years and help from many sources, including your cd's, but He finally converted this Atheist.  I am thankful for so much because I have been saved from so much.  keep the cd's coming, I try to use them wisely.  I tell those people that I share them with that they are like a chain letter from God - to order more for themselves.  Every house in America should have a copy of Rose of Columbine, God's Power, & Free In Christ on their table along side the Bible.  Thank you for helping to save me and giving me a way to share "The Good News."  Tim..

 

 "I received ya'lls CD and love them very much.  They are very uplifting.  But I do have a request, on the end of the CD, "The Power of the Holy Spirit" by Bob Wilson, there is a song by Joe, named "Wings of Angels".   I was wondering if ya'll have a complete CD of this  guy named Joe.  I do enjoy the testimonies but I'd also like some CD with all songs on them.  If not, that*s okay, also.   Thank a lot,  Marshall"

"Hello,
I am Wesley.   I am up here at Power of Freedom Ministry in Arkansas.   I am recovering from my past drug addictions.  I used to smoke weed but by the grace of God I have a new want to, to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.  I have a brother in Christ up here and he let me  borrow a CD he has called, "Breaking the Chains that Bind".  It really inspired me and touched my heart.  I will have to give it back soon.  So, I was wondering if there was any way that you might send me a copy so that I can share it with my wife when I graduate my program.  My wife and I live in Arkansas.   So, if you could  please send me a copy of "Breaking the Chains that Bind" and any others that will inspire me and help me lift up our Lord Jesus Christ.   Thank you and God bless you!
Wesley"

"Bro Gary,
Thank you for the CD's especially the Free in Christ, Tony (Mac) McMullen testimony.  My pastor is a home confinement officer.  He is giving the Free in Christ CD's to his inmates; especially two that had committed murder.  Hopefully, the CD's will put them under conviction from the Holy Spirit and they will receive a solution and change their lives.  God bless you for the work you are doing for Christ.
Kathy"

 "Dear Bob, Stephanie and family,
It was truly a blessing to be a part of the opening in your new worship center this past weekend.  You are doing a Kingdom work there that will be a blessing to many in Carmi and around the country.  The unity that was shown is what this country is needing now more than ever before.  I know God is very pleased with what you are doing to return to Him the blessings He has poured out on you.  However, you know that Satan is not pleased with what is going on there.   Be prepared for a battle.  You, your family and your business may be under attack.  God will be there to see you through.   You will be in my prayers.
Your brother in Christ,       Gaylon"

"Dear Chaplain Gary,
Here is a donation in love for the ministry.  I was able to put an extra $25.00 on it because God blessed me with a tax refund!  Praise God!  I truly wish I could have been in Carmi last weekend but I guess I willhave to wait to  get to see the new worship center and meet you, Bob, and Mrs. Wilson when God says it's time  amen!  Thanks for all that you guys are doing for God!  Because of what  God has led you all  to do His people are coming to Him by the thousands!  We are the wealthiest humans on this earth of His because of Good Christians like you.      Thanks!    In Love,    Richard"

"Dear Gary,
I have been so blessed handing out and mailing the CD's you have sent me.  Just recently I was in a shoe store and offered one to the checkout lady.  She said, *We will pass this all around.  There was a young man waiting his turn to check out.  I noticed he was listening to every word.  I said, you look like you would like to  have one of these too.  He stepped forward and said, I am one of them referring to Tony Mac's testimony that I was giving out.  He shared with me how he had been in a gang and shootings and drugs and in prison and was saved.  I told him we needed his testimony on CD. God is using so many people in your ministry.  I need a new supply of Tony Mac's testimony.  I just received your newsletter today with the one "Freedom on H Block".  I also would like some more of Rose of Columbine and the one on commitment.  Enclosed is a little donation to help a little.   I am an 88 year old grandmother but the joy of the Lord is my strength.  My son who is a Chaplain at a truckers chapel in Georgia sent me the first CD that's  how I heard about your ministry.                                                                         Keep producing "gushers" for Christ through RIG Ministries.
                                                                                           Grandma Imogene

 "I have received many of your cds, and they are very uplifting, convicting, powerful, and moving. I recently rededicated my life back to the Lord and I use these and many Orchardville church cd's to uplift and inspire others.....and myself. I seen you had Steve Hutchcraft on here a couple of times. I have his testimony, but Id love to have his other cds.   I also seen you have Rob Greenwalt's testimony, and I would LOVE to have that. Ive been on golf trips and such with Rob and have never heard his testimony.        

 Thank you for your meaningful work. It is a work worth a firm foundation. A foundation of Rock.....not Sand.          God bless you all,   Matt "

"I just listen to the CD your "little" sister testified on and it was as good as the rest. The song you wrote, "Her Heavenly Home", would you email me the words? It really hit home. I thought about my husband who became an angel in heaven on March 22, 2006. I would love to be able to sing it around the house and maybe even get my guitar out again. I really haven't played it much the last 3 or 4 years. Just lost interest. Thanks for being you and letting GOD use you.   Marie"

"Dear Gary,                                                                                                                     
My husband is in a rehab for alcoholism.    One of the gentlemen there was telling my husband about the ministry and shared one of the cd's with us. We enjoyed it so much that we would like some of the music to share with family and friends and fellow parishioners. Our pastor is an Ex- Hell's Angel and has started a bikers ministry called Spoke-N-Word ministries. We have 6 chapters so far, our last being started in Oklahoma. Your story was very interesting and reminded us of how our pastor turned his life over to the Lord.   We wish you much luck in your endeavors and look forward to receiving your music to share.        God Bless Peggy"

Hi Brother

This is Terry from the Petro in Girard, again I want to thank you for allowing us to come on board with you sharing the love of Christ to all who will listen.  I received today the cd's you sent they are a true blessing, drivers are taking them as fast as they are put out, they love them and they have a network across the country where they share them with others. Sometimes drivers will put on our table at the Petro, Gospel material they got in New Mexico or California and pick up some new stuff here in Ohio Praise God!!  I also received your Gospel music song book 1 today but the cd was broken in the envelope. Could you please send another. 

Love in Christ, Rev. Terry Girard, OH.

 

Hi

I picked up a few of your CD*s some time back while delivering chemicals to an ADM Plant in Decatur IL. I would like to get some more of them as they do help when driving longer runs. Also two of the CD*s I had picked up I would like to get multiple copy*s to give to others. Thank You.

The two that I would like multiple copy*s to give out are: Free in Christ- Tony (Mac) McMullen & Great White Throne Judgement -    Dr. Tim Lee.  Thank You!! Steve"

 "Dear our brother Gary

Once again I greet you in Jesus holy name. Praise the Lord. Thanks for the CDs. I am really happy to receive them. This your teaching really helping me to bring many souls for Christ and also I am also growing in the Lord. Brother Gary thanks for your prayers. Here the leper church continues praying for you. Please pray for our daily needs to be met. Pray for leper people medications,cloth, food. Here our children ministry is going well and village ministry going well. Please give our regards to your fellowship and prayer team and your family. May God bless you all.  Much Love and prayer.            Pastor Prakash and Poonam India"

 

"Dear Rig Ministries

Your tract "All this He did for me"  I have read this tract and trust Jesus as my savior, keep you cd ministry coming. Roger"

 Gary,                                     

 Congratulations to you, Bob, Stephanie and all of the folks at Rig Ministries on the dedication of the new chapel. I know that Tony Mac*s message will move the hearts of many---wish I could be there! 

Thank you for the box of CD*s which I received last week. I continue to distribute them to drivers each week through our chapel at the Carnesville Petro. I know that some of the other chaplains from the Carnesville Chapel are now receiving your CD*s and Rig Ministries is really taking hold in this area. I shared a couple of the CD*s with my pastor (Tony Mac*s is one of them) and encouraged him to consider Tony as a special speaker at some point in the future.  Also, my mother, Imogene Taylor, who receives your CD*s has been able to establish some displays for the CD*s in a couple of the stores in downtown Mt. Carmel. When I was home during the Christmas Holidays we ate lunch at Hadley's Cafe and there were your CD*s on display at the front of the restaurant.                                                                                                               

Thanks for the great job that you are doing and for allowing me to be a point of outreach for the ministry.               Larry

 

 

"Gary,  
 I just wanted to thank you and RIG Ministries for doing what you do!  I have been listening to the CDs ever since you sent them to me. I have been feeling GOD tugging on my heart for awhile now.  Being like most(I think), I just ignored it for the most part.
Till last week.  Every CD I listened to hit home for me.  I have the box of CDs next to my passenger seat.  After I listen to one, I place it in my seat organizer till I get back home(I leave those at home for my wife and kids).  Back to what I was saying. I been just reaching into the box and  get the one that falls into my hand. I asked the Lord to give me a sign of what he would have me do.
The next CD I put into the player was Chaplain Jackie's "Missing Heaven by 18 inches'.  I realized That was me.  I had no personal relationship with our Lord. Ever CD since then has seemed like they were just for me(Thank God for Kevin Dunn's msgs).  Sunday morning, I went to the trucker's chapel in Milton,PA. Chaplain  John English gave a message on having Faith in The Lord.
 I gave my life to The Lord.
Again, I want to so thank you for your CDs they are Heaven sent.   Gypsy" 

 
"Gary
God bless you and all you do.  I was just talking to a driver from Michigan on Christmas eve that was stuck, broke down at the truckstop.  He was saying how much he enjoys your cd's and how much they minister to him as a new believer.
Chaplain Mike. Racine,Wi.


Brother Gary"
Hello.  I hope you are well.  I talked to you once on the phone I am a driver that passes out a lot of your cd's & tracts while on the road.  I would like to get 10 copies each of "Free in Christ" " Iris Blue" " Buddy Farris" "Rose of Columbine" and " It started with a Pistol" But it ended with a Bang"  Phil Kidd.  Thank you, you'll have a blessed ministry.  in Christ, Roy"

 

 

 " To Brothers Bob & Gary  and your ministry

I am writing to let you know how great your ministry is received here in Decatur,IL.  I set up this cd stand that holds approximately 35 to 40 cd's & space for tracts.  I never realized the impact it would have at the Pilot Travel Center.  I  have been filling this stand (with the help of Gene another brother)
3 times a weekend that's not counting the cd's that Gene and I leave at other truck stops or give out by hand.  I had one of the mangers at the Pilot tell me that she has had drivers and others who fuel here come and ask her when is the man going to fill the cd stand because sometimes they go faster than we can keep up.  Great testimonies and quality preaching of God's Word put together with music that touches and lifts the spirit.  I am thankful for this opportunity  to be part of this ministry and am enclosing an offering to it.  I would like to give more and pray that God will bless me so I may bless this ministry more than I have.  I pray blessings upon your ministry that the fruit will be great from it.  May God be with you and shine His face upon you and bless you. Amen

Praise be to God for you.   Bob & Gene"

Dear Rig Ministries

We pass your cd's out at flea markets & festivals here in Tennessee.  We find that some people are hungry for the Word and we enjoy being there to talk to them and fellowship with them.  Occasionally we have people to return after listening to the cd's and ask for more.  We had one lady that came to our table and told us she had been looking all over the place for us.  She had picked up one of our cd's and after listening to it had passed it on to her youth pastor.  He let his youth group listen to it and they approached her and begged her to go back and get more.  Praise the Lord for our young people who are interested in God's love and what a difference He can make in our lives.  We had another lady that picked up a cd and came back and told us  her husband was a pastor and wanted more to put in their church library.  The Cd's have allowed us to enjoy Christian fellowship as well as witnessing to others.  We need to be able to to hold each other up in our faith as well as trying to reach others for God's army.  We are soldiers of the cross!  We also get comments about how the person that listen to the cd's just happened to know someone that could be greatly influenced by the messages.  Everyone seems to be passing them on or copying them and passing them out.  Jim has given some of the cd's to a friend who has a prison ministry in Wisconsin.  The Free in Christ cd has greatly influenced some of the prisoners and they keep a copy in the library.  Keep up the good work you are doing for the Lord and keep us in your prayers.  We hope to get  up there soon..  In the meantime we are enjoying passing out the cd's and telling people about God's love.  Love in Christ Jim & Joyce

"Brother Gary

   I wanted to let you know your CD's are wonderful. I have two children a ten year old daughter and a thirteen year old son who love to listen to your Cd's more than anything.  It is such a great  feeling to know my children love Jesus Christ the way they do.    My children  pass your CD's out to everyone they see and talk to them about how good they are.                                   
Especially the Rose of Colombine and 16 Roses.      Thank you so much and God bless you       Cindy"


"I have listened to the Rose of Columbine and would like to have a copy or two to share with our youth group and others.  Also, would like to have both copies of Tony Mac's.  Thanks for your time.   May God continue to bless your wonderful ministry.    Lisa in  KY"

"Hello  Gary
I was listening to the tape of Tony (Mac) "Free in Christ."   It was so moving, and it blessed me profoundly.  I was wondering  how Tony was doing and if he is still in prison?   I would  like to have a tape of his testimony  and I think I saw another one about him?   May God bless you and your work.  A sister in Christ.            Anna  in Texas"

"Hello, my name is Kelli.  One of my co-workers somehow received one of your free CD's called God Is Attracted To Weakness - David Gibbs.  We have passed it around from office to office.  How do  we get more additional sermons?    Thanks Kelli in Texas"

"Hello.
 My name is  Jeremy.  I am also a long hauler.  It is September 9th, 2008.  I'm on my way to  St. Louis and I made a pit stop at the rest area in Illinois on I-24 next to Paducah, Ky and looked down and there was your c.d.'s.  I want to thank you for spreading the joy of CHRIST.   I am a sinner.  I need guidance.   I want to live for GOD.    I have been moved by what RIG is doing and I really enjoy listening to yall's c.d.'s.  I have 6 of them I picked up in Metropolis, IL rest area. I would like to ask if it would be ok if I sent my tithe to you guys so maybe it would help reach more lone rangers like myself.   Thank you" 

 

  "We have given many cd's and tracts away, we always try to give away  "The Road Home New Testament" when we give the cd's and tracts away.    In August we handed out 53 Bibles-54cd's and 54 tracts.  The Lord Saved one driver.  God also allowed me to lead a prisoner to Him In August.   Dr. Tim Lee's message was Inspiring to say the least.  The truckers are enjoying the cd's.   We hope and pray they pass them on to other people.  Keep up the good work for the LORD.       He was, He is, and  He  will always be the Lord and Savior.                           
May God's Blessing be with you,     Chaplain Ron  in KY"


"Hello Brothers in Christ
 This is Terry from the Petro Truck stop in Girard, Ohio at exit 226 0n I-80       I cannot thank you enough for your faithfulness in spreading the Word of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The Cd's you provide are fantastic!  I am getting great feedback from the folks that have picked them up at the Petro and allowed them to minster in their lives.  I Want to  tell you I made copies of "Tony (Mac) testimony" to give out, Wow powerful stuff!  As I have told you our table is by the shower desk and God's material is available 24-7 to whosoever the Spirit draws.  Once again thank you so much for your partnership in this mission.               Love in Christ,  Rev Terry S.  Girard, OH"


"Dear Gary and Rig Ministry greetings in the name above all names  Jesus Christ what a wonderful name!  We are still moving all over this great United States and we are running out of CDs please send us some more so we can continue passing them out still looking  forward to coming by one day God bless and Thanks a lot!!  Nancy and Keith Trucking for Jesus!"

"Gary, 
I know you have sent a few hundred to us,  but we need more...please if you can send me some more,  Garth is passing them out all over the country,  and he does not just lay them down in truckstops,  he hands them to folks.  If possible,  send more, more, more...thanks,   

      P.S.  The Bibles went like hotcakes at Sunday School,  but I like to keep a couple here at home in case youngin's come here and don't have any idea because their parents aren't in church themselves.           Thanks for letting me be a part of this...Jenn"

 "Chaplain Gary,            

I trust that all is well with you and with RIG Ministries.  What a blessing it has been these last several weeks to distribute the RIG Ministries CD's to drivers at the Petro in Carnesville, GA.  I know that the blessing is multiplied each time a driver listens to a CD and passes it along to someone else.  Last weekend I gave a driver who came to Bible study at the chapel five CD's;   I saw him the next day and he said that he stayed up most of the night and listened to all five CD's.   I am writing to request additional CD's if you have them to send.  May God continue to Bless,  Chaplain Larry"

  "Gary,
Thanks for sharing the newsletter! I love the mail bag with all the responses from the ministry!
Just wanted to let you know how much a blessing it is to share your RIG cds and tapes as we put out ours. RIG's cds are the hardest ones to keep in the racks with the way it is presented by the labels as well as the messages. So many ministries just haven't quite a hold of the concept of all ministries working together for the futherance of the Gospel in Christ, they are just missing out on a gigantic blessing. Keep up the good work guys!!!!!!!
Bill in Tenn"

"Hello Mr. Gary                                                                                                                
It's always a blessing to receive your newletters and your cd's. I use them greatly to testify to the lost ones.  Many of my christians friends were touched  by the testimonys and it stirs up their faith for the work of the Lord.  We feel that we are not alone to face the struggle and it give us hope that God is always in control, no matter what happens.  I would like to receive, the cd of Pastor Rob Greenwalt's  testimony   "Saving Grace."   Please, keep going with your great work for the Lord.  It is helping  so many people to see the truth.  May God bless you and all those you work with in this ministry.
Your friend in the Lord                  Joanne Quebec, Canada" 

 I am so glad to have found your web site. I had a tape of Buddy Farris, but not a CD. My wife and I make copies of CD's and pass them out each day.  We used to make tapes, but almost everyone now wants CD's.   Please send us a copy of the following CD's: I Set Before You the Way of Life--Buddy Farris Testimony Are You a Soldier of the Cross--David Gibbs A Faithful Under-Rower--David Gibbs Mules and Marriages--Fred Mooney Thank you so much. It is an answer to prayer as we did not have the equipment to change the tape to CD. We are also anxious to hear the other 3 CD's. Thanks again and may God continually  bless you each and every day as you carry out a ministry for Him.
                                                                                                      Sincerely, Larry

 Hello,                                                                                                                        
I got one of your CDs from my husband who works at the Power Plant in a nearby city. I just wanted to thank you, the CD was a blessing for us. We will pass it to others!  The name of the cd was "The Power of the Holy Spirit."  As I was checking your website, I realized that your ministry has to do with truck drivers. Our neighbor is a truck driver,  a hard working good man, but he does not know the Lord. Are there any CDs that he might enjoy while on the road?      
  Thank you again  Gabriela in Indiana                 May God bless you and reward you for what you are doing.


I am a truck driver, I deliver new trucks all over the US and Canada.  Thank you very much for the cd's.  I appreciate them.  I think it is a wonderful thing you are doing spreading the Word this way.  I will do my very best to place the extras in a place, I hope another individual will pick one up and receive a benefit from it.  I have always believed that especially for nonbelievers and even believers that may be riding the fence, that a personal testimony from someone else just might be the ticket to sparking the interest in what our LORD can and will do in there life as well.  I hope someday to get a load of trucks down your way, so I can stop in and say hello.      Bruce


Oh my goodness, I heard the testimony of Iris Blue at church and after listening too it, gave my life to Christ sincerely. I thought, who could listen to her testimony and not receive salvation.  I've been telling everyone I come in contact with ever since.  I could not buy her cd and was hoping there was a link online to listen to it so I could share that with all my friends and family.  To no avail!
Then I found your website.  And praise God, just had to ask.
I would love to hear other testimonies as well.  I just love Our Lord Jesus and want to share Him with so many others.
Thanks so much for your ministry and I can't wait to hear others you will send. AMAZING!!!
God is so good. I've been praying to share her testimony for a week.  I love how good God is and will answer even our simplest prayers. My life has forever been changed by her testimony and I can't wait to see how God uses it to change others as well.  Have a blessed afternoon and thank you.

"Dear Gary
Your Great work is felt here in Africa.  I have received the M-Bag you have sent, thanks a lot.  In your current newsletter for August you said we should request Pastor Rob Greenwalt's testimony cd.  Please I want to hear it and pass it on to other people here in Africa.  Thank you for sending it to me.  How is the family God puts in your care.                   
                                    Your friend and brother in Christ, Big Dona"

 "Brother Gary,
it's me again, I still have so many people asking for these CD's and many more requests for cassettes and Bibles. The last box is gone again, and I just can't keep them at all. Can you send me more, more, more? They are going all around Kentucky for sure, and farther than that by means of folks I am passing them out to, they are sharing them as well. This is getting kind of big here. Send me a bunch, maybe 50-75 cassettes, I want to take some to the nursing home if you are able to send enough, and for every Bible I pass out, two more kids want one. I have even bought Bibles myself this past week, but they like the "cool bookcover" as well as the personal stories in the little ones you send. Thanks, I am proud to be a part of your ministry, Jennifer"

 Gary,
"Thank you for sending the CD's. I plan to be at the Petro in Carnesville tomorrow and will begin the distribution.  I have already listened to several CD's including the one with your personal testimony.  At some point I would like to get additional copies of your personal testimony CD.  I understand that my mother in Mt. Carmel called you and that you are sending her some CD's as well.  For many years she has been distributing books, tapes and CD's among family members, friends and those in need.  She will be a faithful worker in extending the outreach of your ministry.  She has already forwarded the first CD that I sent to her (the testimony of the man who mistakenly killed his friend) to another family member who is in the Springfield Office of the Illinois State Patrol.  Also, I have already sent "The Rose of Columbine" to my 24 year old daughter in Huntsville, Al and "Great White Throne Judgment" to my older brother in Cincinnati, both of whom need to get right with the Lord.
Thanks again for being faithful to your calling; RIG Ministries is meeting a need and making a difference in the lives of people."
Larry in  Ga.   

"Good Morning! 

Would you please send me some of your Cd's?  My brother loaned me a couple, "The Image of God" and "Free in Christ".  I really enjoyed listening to them. I want more!  I am a Christian, but here lately I have been struggling. I went on a mission trip in February, and it seems like since I've been back the devil has had a hold on me.  I have missed church and I'm not reading my Bible. Your CD's made me think, and I know I have to get back on with God.  I want to be more involved in my church, but I'm attending college to become a nurse and I work full time to support my family.  I am a single mother off two, with a grand baby.  I have guilt, because my life is so busy, I don't find the time I need to get into the word.  Listen to me, I'm rambling on....I just want you to know your CD's put me back into the perspective I need to be in.  Please send me all you can, I enjoy listening to them and I also have a friend that doesn't know our Savior, maybe I can slip a CD in here and there, they might help her too.   Thank You, Julie in Indiana"


"Hello,
I am receiving your cd's and want you to add a friend of mine to your sharing list.  She likes the old time music and testimonies, any you choose to send will be a greatful gift and we need to pray for her to be saved as soon as possible.  Today I listened to Brother Bob Wilson's testimony at the BMF breakfast in California.  Thank you for the blessing and may God bless you and  your ministry"

Jerry in Indiana

"Thank you so much for all the cds you sent, they all are fantastic, especially "This Ones for You" and "Tony {Mac}".  Everyone that I give one to tells me how excellent they are.  I have passed along all you sent to friends and at the truck stops I go to on the northeast coast. They don't stay on the display shelf long and they're gone.  I could use some more of the 2 I mentioned above if possible.  As soon as I'm able I will send you a donation for the wonderful work you're doing.  Also the Joe Arview From the Upper Room was also fantastic. I also have alot of cds from Orchardville, they too are great.  I would love to get a load going that way and visit their church, but we never get out that way.  I learn alot from their cds. I am new at the church I attend and we have a new preacher.  What I don't get there I get from the cds. Driving all night and listening to cds really helps not only to learn but they really give you a super boost spritually.                                              Thanks for all you do and God bless."         Alan

 I would like to thank you for the cd's and Newsletters that I receive, Your songs are a blessing and lifted up my soul.  All the messages on the cd's are a good cure for wounded spirits.  I was saved  30 years ago, and I am still amazed of the love of my Savior for us poor sinners.  You may not know, but here  in Canada, among French speaking people, real Christians are few. It  is so good to hear teachings on the Word of God.   In listening to your  cd's, I laughed and cried, and I praised the Lord for your work.  I will pass them to my friends.  For those who don't speak english, I translate the stories for them.     Please keep up your good work for the Lord. It's a blessing for everyone that have the chance to hear those cd's. May God bless you and your ministry."               Joanne L.  in Canada
Hi Gary!
I Thank God for your ministry! The road is long and at times lonely and your CD's are truly a blessing.  Although it is lonely I am never really alone as my Savior is here with me at all times Praise The Lord !  I pray for you and your ministry and look forward to a time of fellowship  with you soon so that I might impart some very small spiritual blessing among you and receive manifold more grace in return I am sure!!!  The Grace of God be with you all.  Because He Cares for me.  Gary

 Dear Sirs
"What a blessing I  had  to receive your cd's by a Christian lady truck driver by the name of Vanessa  who came to my company here in Canada.  It was an answer to my prayers.  I have already listen to three of the cd's and they make me cry.  You can be sure that all the cd's that I receive will be shared with my friends & family.  We are hungry for the Word of God.  Keep going with your good works for the Lord.  It's working!  Thank you so much for your love, time and your hard work.  Joanne, Quebec, Canada"

Bob & Gary

"Thank you for being  at  the Great American Truck Show in Louisville, KY. this past week.  You touched many hearts whether you realize it or not .  Often times the public does not allow you to know that they need your help and never let you know that just by your being there that they are helped.  Many pass by you taking that blessing with them and you never know it.  Please try to attend next year if you can.
  May God Bless and keep you.  thank you,"  -  Barb S.

Gary & Bob

" Good Morning
I am requesting a cd titled "God is Attracted to Weakness" by Dr. David Gibbs.  I received a copy of this cassette but would like it on cd so  my  family can hear it as well.  A Crete truck driver gave me this  to encourage me and strengthen  me in my daily walk with the Lord.  I told him that today I was praying to God and listening to 88.3(Spirit FM) on the way to work & God showed me a sign.  A Covenant Trucking trailer rolled by that very moment here in St. Cloud,  FL.  I told him about a Pastors story once told in a church  I attended in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  And he asked for a sign from God and this is what he saw at a local diner.  Well from that day on I ask God if I ever get discouraged could I see this as well.  At times when I really need to know that it is His hands he shows me that "Covenant" trailer....Amen
  Well when I got to work I saw another sign which was in the clouds "God Loves You" it was the Christian pilot just above testifying to all who would look up into the heavens that someone loves you and is there to be your Savior....God!
    I really  felt lifted by now from all of these wonderful experiences and knew He was not done just  yet.  That's when Tom came rolling in to drop his load off at my work place.  He told me after we began to talk that he was wondering who he could bless today by giving them this cassette and  finally  was moved by the Holy Spirit to give it to me.  We shared many stories and experiences together and even exchanged phone numbers.  I truly feel he was sent from God as a Brother in Christ to me that evening.  I met a lot of Crete drivers over the course of a year and it was his first time dropping off there....And he lives in Miami, FL.  WOW!!!  He was sent by God!!!  Amen
   Just had to tell you about it and now I am crying from the Joy I feel inside so I will close for now.  God Bless You and your wonderful Ministries." -   Joseph, St. Cloud, FL

"Thank you very much for the large selection of cd's that you sent to me last month.  I think I have listened to all of them at least once.  Many I have listened to multiple times.  I plan to either call you before long or write to ask some questions of you about starting a tape ministry.  We have a dynamic minister at the Missouri St. Church of Christ in West Memphis, Ar.  I plan to talk with him about using some of his sermons to reach into our community and to possibly do something similar to what you do.  Since I still work full time driving I want to proceed with caution and not get in over my head.  I plan to write down many questions I have and get your input as to how to proceed.  I appreciate the fine work you do and I'll pray for your ministry.  Keep up the good work.  Thank You." -   Danny, K

"I want to thank you for all the great cd's and bibles you have sent to our "Truck Stop Ministry"  I have listen to many of the cd's and I am listening to the "Mothers Day Cd now.  My mother passed away when I was 2 1/2 years old.  It didn't bother me when I was young  but the last few years get tough at Christmas and I know I'll see her some day.  It's been a pleasure doing the "Lords business with you..God Bless.,"  Chuck in MO
