ALVIN SLAUGHTER
"I hardly consider myself ever being at a loss for words, but churchletters.net has been an amazing blessing to me in reaching and connecting with friends, colleagues and ministry leaders. Sometimes I use an entire letter that speaks my heart. Other times I use just a phrase that helps me better articulate a letter I personally composed. I use it in letters, emails, and in sending messages to friends on my myspace page. It saves me alot of time in the writing process. Churchletters.net sort of reminds of me of a composer writing a great song for a singer to sing. It's really cool because people love being appreciated and edified. Appreciation always wins over self promotion!"
