Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:35:58 -0600WeeblyThu, 25 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-mikeDear Lonesome Road Ministries, I have been picking up your CDs at a truck stop in Tennessee. They have been helping me out as I travel out here on this ole Lonesome Road. I've been picking them up for several years. I would like to know if you could, in any way, send them to my house so I don’t have to search all the truck stops as I travel. God bless, Mike in Mississippi

Mike, God bless you, brother, and yes, we can send them to your house, and you can take them with you and share with others on the road as you travel. When you need more, just holler!
]]>Fri, 19 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-brenda-brendaDear Gary, I just wanted to thank you for all the CD’S you sent me last month. I counted them, and there were 50!! That was such a thoughtful thing to do. I apologize for waiting so long to send you a thank-you note. I now take my CDs to Church with me. I have fixed myself a basket & wrote a note telling anyone who wants one to take one, listen, and then pass them onto others. I have had quite a few tell me how much they have enjoyed them. One man said he was a traveling salesman & took some to pass out on his travels. Thank you again for your generosity, you are an awesome man of God! Love your ministry, Brenda Brenda,

God bless you and thank you for sharing with others! Just let me know when the basket gets low, and we will send you another box to keep it full!]]>Tue, 16 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-robbin1982780Chaplain Gary, I pray this note finds you blessed and highly favored!!!
I've been asked to find the recording of the African American who, through his humility ( I'm nothing and HE's everything) and devotion to GOD (preaching to no audiences), despite all the adversity he encountered during his life (both mom and dad being murdered by an evil slave owner), became the pastor of a megachurch!! I cannot find my copy. Do you have it? I believe it's told by Dr. David Gibbs. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. We want to highlight that recording on our Conference line. Thanks loads!!
Robbin

Robbin, yes, it is on the CD (God is Attracted To Weakness). I have sent it to you, and you. I love this message by Dr. David Gibbs, and we have copies for all who contact us and request a copy. Thanks for sharing it with your congregation.

I hope all is well with you, your ministry, and your family. I have a special request. Maybe you can help me. I am now running for Congress. I'm running to become the next congressional representative for Texas District 35, and so I would love to have your endorsement. I would also love to have the endorsement of pastor Tim Lee if possible. Any ideas you may have to help me, I am totally dedicated to following your lead. With my Christian background, I consider myself to be a part of the remnant. I am a constitutionalist as written, and I believe in this great country! I love America, as you know, the greatest country in the world. I am also very supportive of American capitalism, and I am conservative. I want to see all those things be maintained: Christianity, our constitution, love of country, and the capitalism that we use, which is the economic engine for the world, and also conservatism, because we need to maintain all of this, but anyway, that's me. My platform really is America first, Texas now, so I can be reached at 361-220-6298, and I do have a website, it's www.callawayforcongress.com. God Bless, Vanessa
 
Hey, Vanessa would like to offer all our friends the opportunity to get to know Vanessa Hicks Callaway. We have her testimony on a CD/ Podcast card for you to listen to and get to know Vanessa. Just call us or write to us, and we will send you a copy, or go to our website and go to our podcast page, and search for Vanessa’s Podcast.

I am writing to invite you to come to our Church if possible. You can come and teach us anytime it works for you with your schedule. We can also Zoom with you if you prefer that way. We are a small church in Bujumbura, Burundi, and we continue to grow.  Pastor Augustin

​Pastor Augustin, I admit I had to look up your country. I had never heard of it. Thanks for the invite!
We will have to Zoom sometime!!]]>Thu, 20 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-damonDear Gary, Through your CDs, I was saved back when I was driving trucks. The Rose of Columbine, The Church of Hardee’s, and Tony Mack testimony come to mind. I had to get off the road because of health reasons, and I have now written a book! The Jhenna is now available on Kindle for 6 bucks. I am trying to help people with PTSD. Yes, I am now retired Army and not happy about it. I am going to send you a hundred
bucks! Thanks, Gary, for your testimony. I remember your looking for a sign story. Here’s your Sign,
blood dripping off Jesus' finger, “This One’s for You!” I drove a whole lot of miles on the road, and
you were right there with me in the cab every mile. I also remember your partner, Darrell Spicer. You guys made a great team! Damon.

Hey Damon, yes, I remember you. You drove for McElroy Trucking! So glad to hear how much we helped you out there on that Ole Lonesome Road. Thanks for all your prayers and support over the years. Would love to check out your book and see if it fits in our ministry in any way. Send me a link or a copy if you can.]]>Fri, 14 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-sister-brendaGood Day, Sir! My name is Brenda. I live in Commerce, Ga. I listen to your show at noon on Pure Gospel Radio. This is my worship time of the day. I pray each day continually. I wake up and pray and give thanks. I listen to riding home with Linda on Pure Gospel Radio as I cook dinner. I am asking you for prayers for my son and also some CDs to pass out to family, friends, and my church family. Thank you for your ministry and thank you for being a part of Pure Gospel Radio! I’m praying for you and your ministry and ask you to pray for me and my family, and my Church family! May God continue to bless you and your ministry. Yours truly, Sister Brenda

Sister Brenda, thank you for your continued prayers. We are praying for you and your family, along with the work of your Church, to reach the community! Together we can make a difference!]]>Mon, 10 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-jimDear Lonesome Road Ministries, I just want to thank you for your CDs. I picked one up in a truck stop listened to it and asked Jesus to save me, and He did! I am saved and set free from all my addictions, Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord indeed, Jim! Thank you for your testimony. A box of CDs is in the mail headed your way!]]>Tue, 04 Nov 2025 11:08:08 GMThttps://www.lonesomeroad.org/from-the-ole-mail-bag/from-anonymous1977033Dear Gary, I have been driving for 7 years. I picked up a few CDs along my travels early on. I found yours to be the best. You made each CD a complete package, from jokes to songs, to testimonies, to offering a chance for someone to be saved. I donated in the early years because there was a CD player in the truck. As time went on, a few companies later, CD players became a thing of the past, which you know. I really thought your ministry would fade away. Surprise!!! God has brought you other ways to communicate.
That is AWESOME!!! I’m listening to all the CDs I have, I feel like I am getting to know you and your friends, as you are riding along with me every day in the cab! James Payne is amazing!!! David Gibbs has some incredible stories, The Davenports, Darrell Spicer, and your testimony, although it isn’t a fantastic story. God has done so much for you and brought you so many people to help you. Again, I say that is AWESOME!!! I even had some of your DVDs way back when, you and Joe Arview were doing your TV show. Recently, I learned about Joe’s cancer from one of your CD’s Maybe one of these days I can get out there and meet some of you all. I now drive for Ozark and have a CD player, so please send me as many CDs as you can so I can catch up! Funny thing, I wrote this while on the road and when I got home, you had sent me a package of CDs, Isn’t God amazing!!! Thanks, brother!
Brother, you said a mouthful!! God is amazing!!!! Looking forward to meeting you!
