JANUARY 1999
The Original Father's Love Letter 1999 Sermon Illustration
In January 1999, a PowerPoint sermon illustration called 'Father's Love Letter' was first shared at a local church in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Due to the overwhelming response from the congregation, it was then posted on the Internet at FathersLoveLetter.com
We have re-introduced the original Father's Love Letter video accompanied by Brian Doerksen's song, Faithful Father. In the early days, the limited bandwidth of the Internet could only handle a small Flash version of the video because of the millions of people that visited our website to watch it.
This is the first time we have been able to share it in its entirety on the Internet. The song, 'Faithful Father' is used with permission of Mercy/Vineyard Publishing.
Please note: This version of the Father's Love Letter is not available in a downloadable format or on our 10th Anniversary DVD. If you would like to share it with others, please feel the YouTube link.
