First of all, congratulations on combining the Protestant commitment to the sole authority of the Scriptures with a respect for the Godly men and women the Catholic Church reveres.  Furthermore, adopting the Monastic traditions into a Protestant belief system in today's society was long overdue.
 
Please include me in your newsletters and emails.  I look forward to becoming a lay Monk and being a part of The Prayer Foundation ™.  Based on your website, I'm truly excited about the Evangelical void your ministry is filling.  As a former Catholic, it is welcoming to see traditions and heroes of Christianity acknowledged in an Evangelical outreach.
God bless you and your Ministry.

Finally, someone who shares my beliefs.                                              Your Plan of Salvation and Statement of Faith are Biblically based and reflect the teachings of the Father.  For several years I have been disillusioned with the contemporary church and have been seeking a more traditional non-secular foundation that believes in the Word of God and the importance of prayer.  Please accept the enclosed donation as I am requesting a Monk Certificate and Card.

I had begun praying the hours last year...  The three daily times of prayer during the day provide time for reflection, praise, and ease the daily stress of the work-a-day world.

God be praised and may he bring joy to you and yours.  Being of Scot-Irish descent, I find your web pages heartening and wonderfully inspiring.   Together in Christ,                                                               John F. (North Carolina)

My name is Brian and I happened upon The Prayer Foundation ™ website several months ago.                                                                          I really feel that finding you was a direct response from God to my prayers.  For a long time, I have felt a strong tug at my heart to be a part of a Christian order, but until now have not been able to find an order in which I could place my heart.  

I have been following the daily prayer outlines you have provided within the site for some time now and have been wonderfully delighted with how they have helped me connect to the Father more and more intensely each day, but even more by having structure in my prayer.  I have been connecting with those around me more deeply and have felt like a more effective witness to the Peace and Joy that the Father promises.

Please accept my check in support of all you are doing, and also for a Monk Certificate & Card so that I may join you in your endeavors.

Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to sharing in God's promises with you.                                                                                  Your brother in Christ,                                                                          Brian S. (Michigan)

Survey:                                                                                                                     
How Found: On the internet by accident, I was looking up Lutheran religious communities.
Liked Best: I like  your lists of books and movies.  I also like the many quotations you have.                                                                             Liked Least: I think you misunderstand the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.
Born-again? Yes.                                                                                   Visit Site: Weekly.
Comments: In many ways it's what I have been looking for.  I am hungry for something spiritually, but all of the Protestant Religious Orders are Anglo-Catholic and that is too Catholic for me.  I am a Protestant who believes in the inerrancy of the Scriptures and it is wonderful to find a monastery that believes that as well.  I like the look and layout of your website.                                                                                                  (Maryland)

Survey:                                                                                                                     
Liked Best: The concept of comprehensive, disciplined, practical Christian monastic life adapted to the present-day world.                 Liked Least: The pale green background (sorry....you asked!) Born-again? Yes.                                                                                   Visit Site: Weekly.                                                                      Comments: Perhaps exactly what I was searching for.  I  say "perhaps" because I first had to thoroughly examine the contents of your website, your Statement of Faith, etc., before getting comfortable here.  Lots of deception out there.

I wanted to tell you all how much I love your website.  I came across it when I was looking for the Saint Patrick's Breastplate prayer.  Your prayer page is excellent and it gave me some great ideas for my prayer times.  The Lord's been working on me about praying more and I'm excited to try some of your suggestions.                                                                                                           God bless you!

Dear Monk Linda,
Do consider Elizabeth Elliot for a write up...I believe there is a movie about her now.
Love your website.
Blessings,

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,                                                            I am writing to tell you that your website is helping to change my life.  I was raised in the church and have been a Christian for many years, but I was a lazy Christian.  I rarely read the Bible, quit going to church because it became too political, and generally only prayed when I wanted something.                   

Several months ago, however, I found your website and made a promise to myself, and God, that I would start the New Year by "Praying the Hours" daily.  I've stuck with it and can honestly say, I'm starting to see a change in myself.  And I know I'm doing something right because I'm now being attacked on all sides by the enemy.                                                                

Even more recently, I've started praying for the prayer requests that come in on the prayer chain page and I feel that my prayers are being heard and making a difference.  My prayer has become so much more than it was before and I feel like I'm actually making a connection with God now.  I've read more of the Bible in the last four weeks than I've read in the last four years, and I truly believe the Holy Spirit is guiding me.

My main purpose in writing is to ask to become a monk in The Prayer Foundation ™ with Postulant status.

I want to thank you for such a great ministry.  I have found so many resources via your website and I really feel like I'm growing in my walk with Christ.  I'm going to start directing others to your Site and I'm also going to start listening to Dr. McGee's radio program in the coming weeks.  Thank you again for all that you do.                                             In Christ,                                                                                                        James G. (Florida)
