  • Father Tom is a blessing! Wonderful lessons. A true blessing!

    So glad we have Father Tom and his easy to grasp lessons. He explains everything in a concise, yet expansive way.

    May his surgeons be skillful and make him well.

    Praying for speedy recoveries and also praying for the Lord to grant him wisdom in his further teachings.
