The following is a small sampling of the testimonies partners and friends have sent in to our office in recent years: 
You are so correct. Dad and Papa and Mama Goodwin were very close friends. Dad spoke at Papa Goodwin’s funeral and in her last years Mama Goodwin was a member of my church and I had the priviledge of speaking at her funeral. I am sill friends with Charles David although we do not see each other much any more.

Dear Mel, We went to church with the Goodwins when our children were little. We loved it. They were our good friends and tremendous shepherds. They helped us to know how to pastor. Love, Dodie (Dodie Osteen is the Co-Founder of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas now pastored by her son Joel Osteen).
Mel, 
I have enjoyed reading through the great stories of these great spiritual leaders. I had the pleasure of meeting and ministering with Mom Goodwin on several occassions.
The strong current of the Gifts of the Spirit was sometimes unexplainable. Would love to see that flow again.

Dear Brother Mel,
Thank you so very much for your tremendous work in gathering and presenting these awesome materials. I have been particularly blessed by the audio recordings, and especially the demonstrations of the Holy Spirit through Bro. & Sis. Goodwin in tongues and interpretation of tongues.
Although I never met the Goodwins personally, my dear friend Rev. Joe Jordan has shared them with me through his precious recollections of them. I consider it an honor to have been able to learn from Bro. Joe some of the things he learned from the Goodwins, and to receive impartation through him of this rich spiritual heritage.
For over 15 years I have taught Pentecostal/Charismatic History and Heritage in various Bible Colleges and Institutes. Now I am looking forward to sharing the anointed ministry of the Goodwins with my future classes.
Again, thank you Bro. Mel for the awesome contribution you are making to the Body of Christ in general, and Pentecostal/Charismatic believers specifically.
May God's Richest and Best be vitally yours as you fulfill your Divine Destiny!
In Jesus' Love,
Dr. Jefferson K. Thompson

As a young minister, having served one year in pastoral ministry, Bro. Mel's site and e-mails have been a wonderful blessing to me-in encouragement, advice and much more. The Faith message has always appealed to me, but there has, if we are honest, a lot of fluff (and worse!) too. Bro. Mel points us to some wonderful men and women of God and continues in their spiritual legacy as he adresses contemporary ministry, issues and teaching through both Scriputure and a genuine prophetic gifting. Bro. Mel, I know that you are very busy, and appreciate your guidance and support. I hope to see much new content added to your site, but I respect your patience, and wisdom, in speaking only when God releases you to share.

From Great Britain: I would just like to say from the UK what a wonderful ministry Brother Mel has developed. He always appears to find the time to answer an email or encourage or indeed teach, which he is very gifted at.
Thanks Brother for your heart of compassion, and your joy in sharing the treasures you have discovered in the scriptures over the years. I appreciate you so much, sorry for all my questions !!
I have met and been prayed for by many nationally known ministers, but you know what counts at the end of the day - Being genuine.
Brother Mel - as we say in England - Cheers !
love & blessings, Jimmy Bedding Colchester, UK.
From the country of Albania: Hi Brother Mel, I want to tell how much I have been blessed by this ministry of yours through Jesus Christ. Before I found your web site I was in a deep spiritual hunger for hearing a powerful preaching full of the living word. But it seemed that I could not find it. I had heard a lot form Derek Prince's teachings and been blessed a lot and heard David Wilkerson and been really blessed by him but still had a deep hunger for a genuine preaching. So while I was navigating one day in the internet I found your website and how you been blessed by staying with Mom Goodwin whom together with her husband have been in the ministry and had known Smith Wigglesworth from near and that gave me a big assurance that this is really a big thing, a real blessing from the Lord that I was given. First of all I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for his goodness and then I thank Brother Mel Montgomery for giving all these mp3 preachings free to the Body of Christ. I have been and continue to be blessed in a big measure by the goodwins always when I hear them preach. There are three things that I have been blessed. One is that always when Mom Goodwin would speak in tongues a spirit of praise comes to me and I start praising the Lord. Next thing is that by JR Goodwin I have taken a big security of how to recognise the false spirits and how to know that which is truly from the Lord. And the next thing is that whenever the tongues are interpreted by Dad I get a lot of faith by the spoken word of God. I just get it immediately into my spirit and it brings faith mixed with lots of praises. Many times the flesh doesn't like to praise the Lord but since I have heard the Goodwins minister a big freedom of praise and worship has come to me, praise the Lord for His wonderful love given freely to us all.
