Dear Greg, I am Carol Ann’s niece, and i have attended the Denver dare2share for a couple years now. The year you had the skit about getting a letter from your friend in hell, and what they would tell you, was my first year. that year really impacted me, the conference kind of displayed all of my flaws and weaknesses out in the open, and that really helped me to make some big changes in the way i was living my life. so first off, i would like to tell you thank you for all that you guys do for teens, you really have made a difference!! Second i wanted to tell you about what happened this year at the Denver conference. When you first told us about the cell phone challenge, my jaw dropped! i was thinking to my self, "you want me to do what?!" but i finally realized that this was a wonderful opportunity to share the G.O.S.P.E.L with some one who other wise i wouldn’t have even thought about share the great news with! So automatically this boy Josh came to my mind, as well as my cousin Meghann’s mind, see we went to homecoming with Josh, and he is a close friend of Meghann’s. Josh has not been raised in a christian home at all, in fact he didn’t believe there was a God.(i told him about dare to share about a month ago, and he was really interested until i told him it was a christian conference, right after i told him that he started making excuses as to why he wouldn’t be able to make it. Meghann and i tried again this weekend and he pretty much brushed us off and said we were full of crud, and he didn’t wanna hear it. hearing that it kind of stung, but we took it and prayed.) Any way back to my story………. so Meghann pulls her phone out to her phone, and it dies when an hour ago it had a full battery. i looked at her and said "don’t worry we can use my phone!" but ironically i wasn’t able to call any of my non-christian friends. Coincidence? i don’t think so! i tried over and over to call Josh, then i thought maybe it was just Josh’s phone, so i tried calling some of my other friends, that really needed to know the truth. Still, it wouldn’t put me through! grrrr i was starting to get quite angry, so i stopped everything, and prayed and asked God to work through me to get to Josh, and the very next time i tried to call Josh i got through, i handed Meghann the phone figuring Josh would be more comfortable talking to Meghann. While she was on the phone, i prayed my heart out!!! praying that God would soften Josh’s heart and help him to be opened! Five minutes later Meghann came over to me (still praying) and she was crying really hard as well as shaking! i had assumed that josh said he didn’t want to hear it once again, but to my surprise Meghann was handing me the phone, because she was crying so hard (happily) that she couldn’t do the sinner’s prayer with Josh! i got a huge smile on my face and took the phone!! but then i started thinking, and i hadn’t prayed the sinners prayer with anyone, and it’s not like there are exact words you have to say in the right order as the right time,……….. so i stopped one last time before talking to Josh and i asked him to give me the words he wanted josh to hear. And over the phone our friend that we figured would never come around became a christian that night ,so excited about Christ and learning more about Christianity! so i want to thank you for bringing that opportunity up for me and Meghann!! we are very thankful!! I’m sorry this is soooooo long, i didn’t intend for it to be this long!! praying that you would touch thousand’s of other teens like you touched Josh and me!! thanks! ashey p.s Meghann says that you need to stop scaring our aunt!!! lol

hey greg, i had so much fun this weekend!!! when u had us call a friend and tell them about the gospel, i called my friend morgan. i messed up so much, i felt like kicking myself, but on the other end, i heard her snifaling, i asked her what was wrong and she just started balling, she told me that she really needed someone to tell her about God because shes going through a really tough time right now, she asked my if she can come with us next year, and i told her that i’d get her a ticket as soon as i could!!! thanks for showing me how to tell others about the gospel!! im only 13, so its kind of hard for me to talk about it to my friends at school, but now im not afraid of being made fun of, bucause i know that in the long run, its ganna help alot of people out, and it feels GREAT!!!! thank you so much!!! and i plan on coming next year with more than 2 of my friends!!! ~danika~

Hey, i saw your post today, and there were a few things i wanted to say… My best friend… Lee, his 3rd anniverary of his death was today, November. You may know of it, in 2003, a boy was trying to retrieve a kitten out from under the clutch while his friend was driving. his friend lost control, and he was ejected. he lived in platteville, and died on highway 85. I live in washington, and so does his parents, and his two little brothers. we didnt get the news until three days later… It is kinda sad without him here, but what can we do… right? and i just want to tell you that i will be in Renton/Seattle on St. Patrick’s Day, for Game Day! Also, My youth pastor is playing the Gospel journey every wednesday, Janeal is great. We are now learning and discussing the video, and it is helping me alot. Next week is "Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again." i think i got that right, so yeah… Cant wait till gameday, thanks for everything!!!! AMBER REID

Greg – I’m staring in almost disbelief – Are you the same Greg Steir from (I think) Grace Church of Arvada who brought kids to Lone Tree Bible Ranch years ago??? I was on staff and remember you – if it is you, but how many Jesus freak "Greg Steir"s from Denver can there be?? Anyway, so I’m an idiot if it’s not you, but if it is, then I knew you when!! So anyway, WAY TO GO - this is an INCREDIBLE thing you’re doing here!!! My 13 year old son (Josh Bailey) is going to the Denver D2S tomorrow and I’m so excited for him! Thanks for letting God use you in a mighty way. Thanks for always reaching out to young people! Keep it up! My prayers are with the event – Anna (Rhoades) Bailey
