I am a sophomore at Ohio University. In April I attended the Veritas Forum where you spoke and my life changed. That day I went in to your lecture not knowing it had anything to do with God and the Lord Jesus--in fact I was invited by a Christian at work and we did not even know each others names! When listening I was shocked to hear the logical arguments you presented for there being a god and that Jesus exist. While you gave your testimony on the first night I knew my life would never be the same. Now I finally have true happiness and peace by knowing that the Lord exist and loves me.

I want to thank you for your presentation last Thursday at UMass. It was the first time I had met you after two years of watching you online, and as great and uplifting as the online is, the real thing is extraordinary. The most telling moment of the evening came during the Q & A portion of the debate. At one point, Prof. Antony turned to you and said, "I wonder how you have any friends at all". This moment was extremely revealing, and the reaction of some in the audience and you, Dr. Craig, I thought did more to serve God's purpose that evening than perhaps anything else that was said. And what was your reaction to the comment? Nothing but a truly loving smile fueled by the Holy Spirit that lives in you. This comment had the unintended consequence of demonstrating how authentic Christians respond when persecuted and provided a window into what a relationship with God provides.

Greetings from Shanghai! We met last year when you are here speaking at Fudan University. Some amazing stories happened here after the symposium last year. We were able to follow up some of the interested students from the lectures. Several people who went to your final lecture came to faith afterward. I hope God will use you and your fellows in great ways to empower his work here in China.

I am 36 years old and a full time lecturer in the School of Education at the University of Notre Dame in Sydney, Australia. I am always talking about you and your work, both to my students and colleagues. In early November last year I was given my final result for a Ph.D at Macquarie University. In many ways you have been my main supervisor. When my work seemed to being going nowhere, I immediately looked to you, who you are, the way you present yourself as a Christian and your magnificent debates. It was you Dr. Craig who gave me the strength to finish well. And so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. In January, I lost my mother to breast cancer. I have to tell you that during her battle with cancer, it was your many debates and the way you presented yourself as both a believer and as a scholar that gave my mother so much more strength to continue the fight. She loved your work and especially how you presented the Gospel and done so always as a gentleman. Thank you Dr. Craig, you helped give my mum nearly 3 more years of life, 3 special years that the doctors said she shouldn't have had.

I just want to thank you for taking the time to answer my query concerning the moral argument. I was so shocked to discover that my question was actually chosen. I really liked your answer...so much so that I am even more of a fan of the moral argument than before. I gave some of your writings to an atheist co-worker. After reading your material I think his exact words were, "I couldn't believe it? Every criticism and question I had which my former paster could never answer THIS GUY ANSWERED! It was like he read my mind! He really messed me up, but I think I want to be a Christian now. He removed the biggest obstacle I have long had—thinking that Christianity was blind faith and could not exist in an intelligent mind."
