    Dear Steve, found your ministry in TH-cam just about 4 months ago. The time I listened to your conversion from protestant to catholic, I almost burst into tears, honestly. God I think sent you to the Catholic faith in order to help the non-Catholics understand how beautiful Roman Catholic Religions is. It’s the true genuine religion of all time. And I believe that our religion is the Word of God and nothing could change that forever; just like any letter of the law that Jesus mentioned to His disciples. Thank you so much for your kind regards to us Filipinos. God keeps and blesses you and your family without end.🙏😇
