My first encounter with Ian Thomas was from a series of taped messages from 1974. I was listening to them  in the early 1990s while driving a truck. I literally played them over and over and over. One day, the light came on! I saw by the Holy Spirit that Christ Himself lived in me and for me. Major Thomas, in that respect, is a spiritual father to me. He continues to this day to teach me through his books and messages. I'm forever grateful to the Lord Jesus for using one so passionately yielded to him in setting me free.

 

 I miss him dearly.
