Success Stories from Singles Scene/Spirit &
Life
Dear Publisher:
I should have written LONG before
this, but a lot has been happening in my life!
I joined "nicesingles.com".
The man I married had been looking a lot of different places
and had spent thousands of dollars searching for a compatible
Christian wife. God lead us to each other through your publication.
Now we both are avid readers of the magazine "Mother Earth
News" and that is where we both found your advertisement.
What a blessing! He joined the month before I did.
June of _____he put his ad in and I found it on your web site.
I placed mine the following month. I really didn't expect to
find some one to marry. Just to be friends with or write to!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd find someone
that I'm still so in love with 2 years later!
I joined in July and I scanned all the ads - but wanted one that
DIDN'T ask for height, looks, weight, etc. like you were (excuse
the expression) - "ordering up a piece of meat". I
wanted God to be in charge of the choice.
My husband's ad merely explained how happy he was and a little
about him. And the gift of a smile you can give to others.
We talked on line and sent photos
after a few months. All the things we had in common were amazing.
If we let God do the leading
and let God do the chosing then HE will give us the best. Seek
HIS KINGDOM FIRST and HE will give you the desires of your heart
because all these things will be added on to you! AND HE HAS!!
Thank you for your advertisement.
It really does work and at such a nominal fee that even I could
afford it. Well, worth the price I paid!
May God Bless you this Christmas
Season and all who are searching for that special some one. In
your ad don't give your list of qualifications JUST let God chose
for you! Don't be too specific or you could be losing the love
of your life.
I thank you again and I thank
God most of all.
Sincerely,
Eileen M.

Dear Singles Scene:
My wife and I would like to let you know we met through your
publication and we are wonderfully happy. We have been married
for 18 months and are growing together spiritually, physically
and emotionally every day. We noticed your article "Make
a list of what you want" in the October issue, and that
is exactly what we have done. We enumerated our desires in a
mate, prayed, and gave it to our Father in trust and faith. Everything
we wrote down materialized except more attributes than we thought
we wanted. We cannot think of anyone anywhere who could have
fulfilled that special role of mate other than the one our Father
gave to us. He does know our needs much more than we do.
We thank our Father for His blessing, and also your publication
for being the vehicle to make it all possible.

Dear Ms. Turner
It was a pleasure to receive your letter of introduction to ___.
We spoke briefly on the phone and I wrote. . .Having been a single
parent and self-employed as well as 39 years of age, I could
no longer be classified as demure.. . Nevertheless as some feedback
for your organization, I would like to thank you for this recent
opportunity through an introduction. It is unbelievably difficult
to meet adults (especially opposite sex potential friends) if
one is not interested in "bar scenes". There is great
concern for the single parent about one's own actions serving
as a role model and bringing honorable individuals into contact
with one's children.This surprise letter from you reminded me
that I am not yet willing to close the arena of male/female interaction
in my life. Thank you for allowing me a moment of fantasy and
old feelings to surface.
Sincerely, B.P.
Dear Singles Scene,
This is to tell you that we first wrote then called. Then he
came down to meet me. That was it. He never made it home till
we were married. We married June 19. We are so happy and do everything
together. After we were married, we went to Minnesota to meet
his mom and the rest of his kids. He sold his home and came here
to live with me. We are so happy with each other. No more lonesome
days and nights.

Dear Singles Scene,
A gentleman I met a year ago through your club became a very
good friend, and even though we were limited to phone, video
movies and tapes, we became very special friends. He became very
ill last fall and passed away Jan. 29, and I thank God I was
allowed to have him in my life.
You are a very special lady, Mrs. Turner and I'd like to thank
you.
Pat P. (WA)
Dear Singles Scene,
Please remove my mail box message, but continue my subscription.
I will give the magazine to a friend. God has put a special Christian
man in my life and I praise His Holy name. Thanks for your action
in this matter and thanks for what you're doing in seeking to
help people to find someone special.
F13847
Dear Singles Scene,
My name is Wendy. I've been wanting to tell you that I have met
someone very special through your publication. His name is Blake.
He's so sweet and we will be meeting in person for the first
time Christmas. We talk to each other of the phone every Sunday
night for an hour. I'm very, very happy. He has invited me to
come out to California next summer for a few weeks. I just want
to say thank you.
Wendy (IL)
Dear Singles Scene,
In December my one time only ad was in the issue you gave to
a very fine gentleman. He chose me from all the women in that
paper.
I put a stop to other correspondence once I got his letter. I
am happy to let you know that after corresponding and phone calls
and visits we were married June 14 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
I'm from South Bend, Indiana. God brought us together and put
us together in such a miraculous way. That's nearly 1,000 miles
that was between us. We are so glad that we left our situation
in God's hands. He worked a miracle for us. I was F11177. Now
that I'm married, thanks to your paper being the bridge that
God used to bring us together, I want to help others as I was
helped through your paper. God bless you all.
F. (IN)
Dear Singles Scene,
I have met several most wonderful ladies from your paper. During
this year one will be my new wife. I no longer read the paper.
M9695
Dear Singles Scene,
Thank you for the nice job you did on my Jan./Feb. ad. Your ministry
is a much needed service. I'm already writing one really neat
guy. I'm a lot less lonely now. Thank you from the bottom of
my heart. I don't wish to put in another ad right now. Thanks
again.
J. (OH)
Dear Sandra,
I am a former subscriber to Singles Scene. I first subscribed
in the fall of l991.
I am writing to tell you that I met the most wonderful lady through
your magazine. She is from California and she wrote me in January
this year. I was hesitant at first because I live in Kentucky.
But something about her made me want to try and correspond. I
am so glad that I did because she has been everything I could
have hoped for. She came and visited me in September and we had
a great time together. I am planning to visit her at Christmas
time, which will be the first time I have flown in a plane. I
just wanted to thank you for bringing us together and hope that
if it is God'swill, we can be together the rest of our lives.
S.M.
Dear Singles Scene,
Please remove my ad from your magazine. I have met an extremely
wonderful lady through my ad! She lives just across the river
from me in Indiana. The service you provide to Christian singles
is wonderful! Thank you for your help and may the good Lord continue
to bless your work.
R.L. (KY)
Dear Sandra,
. . . I want to tell you that you are such a gifted writer and
I enjoy and appreciate your articles so much. You have a way
of relating directly to your audience and so clearly and simply
getting your message across. Keep up the excellent work. . .
L.M. (PA)
Dear Sandra,
You're doing a great job. Thanks for your concern and Christian
service. I appreciate Singles Scene. It provides an opportunity
and an outlet for singles to meet and get better acquainted through
mail correspondence.
I've found such an outpouring of concern in Christ from many
of these single women. God has overwhelmingly, tremendously blessed
me through Singles Scene.
They all eventually, after the first initial contact (that's
the most crucial due to the uncertainties), fall in love. But
it's not me they fall in love with, it's rather the Christian
spirit they love.
I'm here, Sandra, like you to help singles discover ways they
can (through a Christ centered,Godly guidance) learn to help
themselves. That's really what Singles Scene does, help singles
(in Christ) learn ways and discover avenues of life where they
can help themselves, through a better and closer understanding
of who God is and what He's about.
Your thoughtful and often timely articles that grace the pages
certainly help. Many of my correspondents have told me this..
.
It must be a good feeling knowing that what you do enhances the
"who" in Christ you are. Continued success and joy
as you share through Singles Scene.
Rod
Dear Sandra,
We wish to thank Singles Scene and you again for bringing Vic
and I together. His ad was in an August issue. I wrote to him
and he answered with a phone call. Then wrote immediately He
lived in Minnesota and I in Florida. We wrote back and forth
and called each other once a month for two years. Finally a couple
of years later we met. Then we flew back and forth for a year
before he asked me to marry him on Valentine's Day 1992. We were
married the 28th of November 1992.
God has been good to us and blessed us greatly. Our love is still
growing. Love and marriage in the golden years does work and
much happiness can be found and shared. No one should live alone
as they grow old and be lonely. Thank God for sending your ad
my way and that I subscribed.
Now I want you to send a single issue to my daughter who is divorced.She
needs to find that special someone to make her life complete.
F11647 (FL)
Dear Singles Scene,
Just a word to thank you for your service and the Lord's Spirit.
My number was F13538 as placed in your paper. The Lord is very
much first place in my heart and life and I couldn't have accepted
anyone who wasn't the same. I met a man from Ohio and we were
married Oct. 16th. He is very much into God's Word and we knew
it was God's will for us to be married almost immediately. We
are very happy and know the Lord has a special ministry for us.
I just wanted to encourage anyone who is praying and believing
for their mate. God has a perfect timetable. I have been alone
14 years, met a lot of so called Christians. It can be discouraging
at times. but we have to keep our focus on Jesus the provider,
not His provision.
My husband had an ad. But he responded to my ad. It was a lot
of change, with moving and job changes, but the Lord does equip
us readily when it is His will. God bless you for all your endeavors
for the singles. There isn't a whole lot of outreach for singles,
sad to say, even through our churches. So God bless you and yours.
A.S. and G. (PA)
Dear Sandra,
Hi! Just wanted to let you know I have found my Mr. Right through
the Personal Introduction Service. He is in Arizona and I will
be moving there soon. I just wanted to thank you very much.
I have gotten a lot of photos and letters and phone calls. But
there is only one for me.
Thanks again and God bless you.
L.B. (KY)
Dear Personal Search,
I decided to drop you folks a line and let you know that God
does work in marvelous ways. My name is J. and I first got your
company's address from Mother Earth News magazine. The magazine
was a gift subscription from a friend at work (he's going to
be best man at my wedding). Kinda fits in considering he was
actually responsible for getting me and my fiance together. My
fiance was coaxed by a friend to join Personal Search also but
didn't expect any results. In fact, she had forgotten she'd joined
any sort of a group. We began corresponding in October.
The distance thing is a disadvantage. She's a professor at a
college in Texas. I live in Idaho. We have found that meeting
through the mail has actually allowed us to get to know each
other on a spiritual level rather than the usual physical orientation.
I really don't think I would have been attracted to her had I
just seen her somewhere - even in church. She put it quite well
once, "We're two kindred spirits that found one another."
Now we're planning our wedding. By the way if you have any idea
how to move someone about 1800 miles, please let me know. We're
trying to plan everything as economically as possible. We are
both thankful to you for your assistance - I feel joining your
club was an investment in our future.
This is quite a God send. We have the same spiritual, moral,
and societal values and enjoy many of the same interests and
hobbies.
Thank you again.
J.N. (ID)
Dear Singles Scene,
Thanks a lot for your paper. I have met a lady in Georgia. When
we first met we knew that we were in love. So I will not need
your paper any more. Thanks a million. I know God had a hand
in this from the very first.
W.D. (MO)
Dear Singles Scene,
My ad was first published in a September issue and the response
was wonderful. I met and corresponded with numerous, very nice
ladies. In late February I received a letter from a lady in Texas
that really moved me. In her letter she described what she needed
and desired and what she was willing to give to make a relationship
successful and rewarding for both of us. Her values and mine
were totally in "sync". She and I had each been praying
for the perfect relationship; one that would be a total commitment.
Needless to say, we are both thanking God for answered prayer.
Please consider this letter as my request to discontinue publishing
my ad effective immediately.
I certainly plan to acknowledge all responses to my ad, but I
am convinced that I have found my "special lady" and
only want to devote all my available time to nurturing this relationship
into long term commitment.
May God continue to bless and prosper you for providing this
valuable service.
JWC (CO)
Dear Singles Scene,
Please remove M--- from your mailing list because, thanks to
your kindly sending me your free introductory issues, he is now
mine! The Lord has blessed us with a love and compassion that
has spanned the 2000 miles between us. After corresponding for
awhile, we finally met earlier this month and are getting married
in two weeks.
It takes a very special man to unconditionally love a woman and
her children and he is truly a very special man.
Thank you for your wonderful service. I have passed your name
and issues on to other special people.
L.B. (TX)
Many thanks to Sandra Turner who seems to have a direct line
from God into my life and has changed many bad indecisions into
the right and Christian decisions, has helped me to turn my anger
into love, sadness to happiness, low self esteem to pride, despair
to hope. May God guide her to help me this coming year through
scripture and her love. May He grant her many blessings. Many
thanks from me in Christian love.
H.M. (ID)
Dear Singles Scene,
I do not need to renew my subscription to Singles Scene as I
have found the man I want to marry through your magazine.
He's from Tennessee and only received one copy of your magazine.
We wrote and called each other for about 8 months, then got together
and fell we are exactly right for each other. Thanks a million.
Keep up the good work.
V.C. and G.K.
Dear editor
Thank you so much for sending me the March/April issue. The front
page article is excellent! Keep up the great, uplifting, Word
of Faith type articles. I sense an anointing on them. We're of
kindred spirits! You didn't by any chance attend Rhema Bible
Training Center did you? If not, you've been taught well somewhere
else. I did.
I pray that somehow you can find some single, Spirit-filled,
Word men that are in, or desire to be in full-time ministry.
Are all the good ones married? Come forth Word men!
Being an ordained lady minister who's very tall and over 50 and
no beauty makes it very challenging for me to find a ministry
help mate. Nothing is too hard for our God, though. . .
I intercede for you and your needed outreach. . . J.L.S. (OR)
Dear Singles Scene,
Please remove my name from your mailing list. I have met a wonderful,
young lady from Missouri and I'm sure we will become man and
wife in a year or so. You provide a needed service for Christian
singles.
J.W.H. (KY)
Dear Singles Scene,
I am writing to thank you very much for your services in the
personal ads that I placed to find a love of my life. My ad was
F12694 from New Jersey! I've been answered by a very nice gentleman
through many correspondence letters and photos. And now living
close together in the same city. We are very happy with many
interests and all thanks to your singles new letter.
Once again I thank you and may God bless everyone on your staff
for my new happiness.
J.V. (NJ)
Dear Singles Scene,
My name is Marsha and my fiance and I would like to write and
let everyone know what a wonderful job Singles Scene has done
for us.
We met through Singles Scene and were basically friends until
last year. I knew that God had D. and I writing for some reason,
but as we got to know each other. Our love for each other grew
more and more. So now we have fallen in love and are planning
to get married May 28. We will be living in Idaho. Please remove
our names from the list.
M.M. (TN)
Dear Singles Scene,
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for helping me
find the perfect mate. I never really believed that marriages
were made in heaven, but I do now. So I really want to encourage
others not to give up because I know you all must also pray for
your subscribers because there's no other way I could have found
this special lady, especially since she lives in the Philippines.
We are both Spirit-filled Christians, and although I wrote many
other ladies, I knew after six months that this lady, Geraldine
A., was the one I was to marry.
We also fell in love so much that I even became a poet and not
only wrote her poetry, but I began being inspired to write inspirational
poetry as well - which has been published in our local newspaper.
Enclosed is a sample which you may print if you like. So thanks
also for unlocking a hidden talent.
We are planning our wedding in July so you can take us off your
mailing list. May God bless all of you.
Ivan Hurley
To my beloved
Oh that my ears could hear and my eyes could only see.
The wonder of you, God's creation for me.
The message is clear and the path is so bright,
We as two stars shall walk in the night.
That we may soon hear, that we may soon see
God's glorious plan for you and for me.
What shall we say other than this. . .
Not our will be done, but it is to be His.
Multitudes in the valley of decision each day
Not knowing God and His own perfect way.
Each must soon hear, each must soon see
That God's plan of salvation is perfect and free.
A sacrifice was needed to atone for our sin
And He sent His Son Jesus, the victory to win
Enduring such shame and bearing much pain,
Once dyinfg for all and rising again.
To open the way for all to receive
An eternity of peace to all who believe.
Safe from all wrath, of judgement, and fear,
His love He will show if to His heart we draw near.
Dear Singles Scene,
I just wanted to write and say your Christian Singles Scene really
does work. I met the most wonderful man through your ads. My
prayers have been answered. There really is a God and He listens.
We met in June of this year and will soon be married. I couldn't
be happier. I want to thank you. Also you are on our prayer list.
If it wasn't for your publication, we would never have met. Thank
you again from the bottom of our hearts. I hope everyone of your
advertisers can be as happy as we are. God works miracles.
J.S. (VA) (
Dear Singles Scene,
I'm writing to ask to you to please remove my personal ad from
your publication for the good reason that I've met a real nice
sister in the Lord only a few miles from my residence here in
Maine. We are compatible, praise God, and are having nice dates
and are moving slowly to a stronger relationship. I will contact
you when this relationship develops fully.
I really appreciate the solid Christian values and articles founded
on the Word of God that you include in your publication.
Your brother in Christ,
K.H.
Dear Singles Scene,
Thank you for your work and your love for Christian singles.
Your magazine is so spiritual. Thank you again. God bless you
deeply. With my love for you all.
D.W. (Burlington, CO)
Dear Singles Scene,
Thanks for sending me the magazine. I hope to be able to subscribe
to Singles Scene soon. Your article, "Is something taking
His place?" really blessed me. Your magazine is the best
one I have ever received for single people. God bless you and
I know He will
DLP (AR)
Dear Singles Scene,
No. Do not renew my subscription. I don't need it. Thanks to
God and your ads. I met my wife. The Lord answers prayer always.
Just wanted you to know. Thanks again. God bless you.
C.W. (M9947)
Dear Singles Scene,
Thank you so much for your wonderful publication. I have really
enjoyed the two copies I have received. As so as I can I will
be subscribing to the Singles Scene. I also find your articles
very uplifting. Please keep up the wonderful work. We single
Christians really need you.
C. W. (PA)
Dear Singles Scene,
Thank you so much for sending me two free sample copies of your
magazine. I do not at this time, feel led to place an ad. But
I will definitely keep the two issues and the other information
you have sent me. I'm glad to know there is a magazine like this
which enables nice Christian people to correspond with each other..
. Thanks for the wonderful service you are providing Christian
singles.
N.T.
Dear Singles Scene,
My one-time ad in Singles Scene brought more than a half dozen
letters, but only one voice mailbox call. That was enough, however.
S. . and I have had a telephone romance going all year and we
will be meeting for the first time within a month. We've gotten
to know each other very well, even had two or three spats over
the phone. When I realized the problem we discussed it and have
not had any trouble since. Our cultural backgrounds are very
different, and we were misunderstanding some things. Now if something
doesn't sound right we ask, "What do you mean?" or
ask, "Why?"
We have talked about literally everything, but both agree we
cannot make any commitments over the phone. There are four or
five areas we have to discuss in depth and in person. I feel
99.9% sure we will be married soon, but we each want the option
of saying, "I don't want to spend the rest of my life with
you."
We are both in our 60's, just 14 months apart in age. We seem
to have a great deal in common, both interested in eating right,
good health, etc. . .
I have told a lot of people about Singles Scene and highly recommend
it. I was in another dating service earlier which was much more
expensive. Also participated in voice mail box matches in the
local paper. Their ads were free, but neither of these service
can hold a candle to Singles Scene. I realize that one has to
be extremely careful, no matter what. You can't vouch for your
advertisers telling the truth.
. . . Thank you for all you have done for me. May God continue
to bless your service/ministry.
A. (FL)
Dear Singles Scene and Personal Search,
I was a member of Personal Search. I did find that special person
from your lists. I asked E.M. to marry me on May 16, and we'll
be married in July or August next year. Relatives around me say
that a long distance relationship can't work. I disagree. We're
proof so far. The main advantage is that you begin to know the
person from a position other than physical. I'm really not sure
I would have pursued this relationship at all had I seen Mary
Ellen in person. I think physical appearance can turn us off
initially and we don't give the situation a second chance. The
first impression is the one which stays with us. Because I've
had such luck please send information to my friend.
J.N. (ID)
Dear Singles Scene,
Thank you for sending me the magazine. I'm praying God will answer
my prayers through your wonderful publication. I've tried other
clubs and they all were a big disappointment. I hope to be able
to subscribe to Singles Scene real soon. God bless and keep you.
J.A. (CA)
Dear Singles Scene,
I secured your address from my daughter in law's sister who had
been corresponding with some of your members. She met a very
nice Christian man through your organization and they have since
been married. I realize she is 20 years my junior but I am interested
in knowing if you have letters from seniors in my age group who
are looking for someone to correspond with. . .
Z. L. (NV)
Dear Singles Scene,
I feel you people have become my friends. Thanks for the work
you're doing. I know God is blessing you. I can tell by your
articles.
Well, I'm still trying to find that someone. My hometown is so
small. I was married a long time to a C/W musician. My heart
was broken when he wanted a divorce to marry a younger woman.
. .
I've only dated once in five years. We met through Singles Scene,
so I'm relying on you to help me find that someone. . .
I have a ministry but need someone to share it with. . .
I know God has someone for each of us, no matter our age. Again
I say thanks for helping lonely people. So many seem to have
forgotten us.
May God bless you richly.
M.R. (OK)
Dear Singles Scene,
Thank you very much for answering my letter and sending me a
free sample of your magazine. I must say, I have never seen a
magazine for singles like it. I mean besides having ads for singles,
it also has interesting articles and facts. It's just fantastic!
When I got my sample I couldn't believe it. I was looking for
a magazine that would cost a lot to subscribe to, and would be
just on singles but your magazine is interesting and fascinating
to read, not boring.
N.S. (MD)
Dear Singles Scene,
I was a former subscriber. Then I met the most wonderful man
through Personal Search. We were married in March 91. He died
on July 27, l992. We only had 16 months together. We loved each
other very much and were so happy. I think your services are
a very good way to meet other singles. Keep up the good work.
Z.J. (WV)
Dear Singles Scene,
I should have written this letter long ago. E.H. or Fort Worth,
and I met through Singles Scene in November . Were were both
happy that God used your publication to bring us together. It
has been a very busy time for both of us. We have closed two
homes and opened one. There has been a lot of moving going on.
You were probably wondering why we did not renew our subscriptions.
Now you know. Thank you very much.
