It was also nice to have someone in Dubai from the Midwest as I lived in Minnesota for 19 years before moving to Dubai. Originally from Goa, India. My faith was definitely strengthened and I'm more catholic than ever before. I'm a catechist..teaching confirmation class. I will transmit your messages to the teenagers of Dubai. I remember reading the bible for the first time as a teenager..encouraged by a Protestant radio programme. The first thing that happened as a result was that I started to question all the things that Catholics did. No one could answer my questions then..not even the priests. I strayed from the Catholic church and from faith in Christ as an adult but then God brought me back(a la the prodigal son story) to Christ and thanks to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, back to the Catholic faith and have not looked back since. Your messages have firmly rooted me in my church now. I have never been more proud to be catholic. I've taken lots of notes and will be making good use of them whenever I get a chance and as the Spirit leads me. God bless you guys. Jaime Dear Steve and Janet,
I thank God for your presence in Dubai the last two weeks. It was also nice to have someone in Dubai from the Midwest as I lived in Minnesota for 19 years before moving to Dubai.
