I am glad Melissa pointed out that it could be so much easier to stay at the place he has been for the past 16 years! I mean it’s so much more comfortable….. Awe…. but we all know that being comfortable is dangerous! I would also like to make 2 points! Point number 1 – our comments, agreements, disagreements are realy just pointless and uncalled for! it is not us that God speaks to about Pastor Chan, I believe that God is quite big enough to handle this all on his own. Who are we to speak about him and the decisions God is calling him to.
Point 2 – I would like to point out that in the bible how the FALSE PROPHETS were very popular never to be put down, spoke against, or degrated in any way, but it was the TRUE PROPHETS of God that sacrificed and endured the chastisement of the people! So while your forming your opinions about Pastor Chan and his decision take into consideration these two points!

If the congregation wont move for Jesus Christ then the the Pastor must move I mean from the pulpit and the people sometimes the people are stiff necked and hard hearted God will not always strive with man. Apparently the church just sat on the pew of do nothing.
like many do today–be a doer of the work

I have never met Pastor Chan, though I look forward to one day. Listening to his podcasts has transformed my life, 180 degrees. My Christian walk had been stagnant for many years, as I slowly began to idolize my career and my accomplishments. I lost faith in God and the institution we call the “American church”. My life felt hollow and insignificant; I had turned away from my Savior.

But listening to Chan’s sermons has revitalized my relationship with God, and I am on fire for Jesus. I began to re-evaluate every part of my life, from my medical career, my relationship with my family, and my aspirations for the future. I’ve “introduced” him to many of my friends, and we all agree, he is genuine in his faith, and a great teacher. Believe you me, his sermons have helped me let go of all the things our world tells us to love, and I embrace Jesus alone whole heartedly.

Thank you Pastor Chan, keeping doing what you do. To all the nay sayers, we should pray for them.

I hope this message gets to Francis Chan.

Not that this is what your book is all about, but it sort of is. One thing that really touched my heart in your book was that your mother died giving birth to you. You see, I have 7 children all born by c-sections. My 7th baby was a reversal baby (I had my tubes tied after baby #6, then my husband felt convicted to reverse it). One miracle after another happened (too long to tell) but I want to thank you Francis, for sharing that bit of information because, just a few days before I started reading your book, I was really praying about “Should I keep on having children, even if I may die giving birth one day?” That is one of the biggest struggles in my life. But look what God did with you, and He can do the same and greater with my children, even if He chooses to take my life. So, case in point – my decision has been made – Follow Jesus even unto death!

I am writing too much, but I love your book, and I hope someday to be able to meet your wife and children and talk about the miracles God had done for us.

In Christ, Tamara Linkowski
