Dear Pastor Mark,
You do not know me, but God used you to save me. I am 53 years old. I have been a bad person and have done some very bad things all my adult life. Just recently, my sister moved to Texas, where I live. She has been walking with the Lord for some time. She would preach to me every time she saw me, and I would listen. One day, we were eating dinner, and she said I should get baptized. I thought about it in my head. That night, I had a bad experience. Something visited me, and ...
May the Word of Jesus Christ continue to be preached all over the world. I thank God I found your station in Pandora, and I can’t stop list ...
I listen to the podcast on my way to work or whenever I get a chance. It has helped me deal with very difficult times when I had no light. I didn't really think I would enjoy it, but I can't get enough. Everyday situations are addressed with real solutions. Thank you for saving me.
Thank you pastor for being such a wonderful messenger that articulates the Word so precisely.
Hi Pastor. We have not met. I came across your (Return to the Word) sermons and Bible teachings from a Pandora program, and although I do not claim to be any type of biblical scholar, I would like to thank you in particular for teaching what I would consider disciplined sermons on the proper meaning and intent of God's scripture. Also as an added compliment the interjected humor and similes for more emphatic and vivid descriptions in your articulations are especially effective. (I enjoyed the ...
Thank you for the podcast, I listen to it most nigh ...
Your message hit spot on. Thank you. I am also thankful for Return to the Word. Thank you for teaching the Bible and spreading the message far and wide. I am sure I have no earthly idea of what or how many feet, hearts, hands, hours of labor in prayer and study alone, not to mention management, money, tools, techs, toils and troubles inherent in any endeavor, it takes to send out through technology, truth from God.

I am following your videos on YouTube in regards to the book of Daniel. I find your teaching sound and I am being blessed through it.
Hello Pastor Mark! I have listened to your sermons on YouTube. I like them very much and found comfort in them. Also, it brings back memories of when you were a pastor here in Appleton. Will you be putting more teaching on YouTube? I will be listening if you do! Thank you for your ministry, the ministry in the past when you were here, and the ministry which you are doing now. God is good. And He is faithful. We know that! Love in Him, Cathy.
I felt the need to reach out to you as we ground our beliefs on the same basis. I adore your podcast and listen often. The podcast from 05/03/2016 you concluded by asking your listeners to reach out and say hi! So here I am listening for the first time, responding to you years later and saying hi from New York. Thank you, I look forward to the episodes to come. (Comments shortened for length)
Hi Mr. Fontecchio,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. Mostly, I am just so glad (I cannot even really tell you how glad) to have discovered that there are men out there teaching the truth--men like you and Mr. Hixson. We have felt alone for so long. I cannot tell you what it means to me just to know you are there. Thank you for all the material you have available on your website that we can use and learn from. It is a blessing to us. Blessings to you and yours in C ...
Recently I did a search for bible teaching in the form of a podcast on Pandora. I happen[ed] to come upon your podcast "Return to the Word" and knew instantly God led me to the right place. I am very grateful [for] your knowledge and stories. I am a new Christian and have been listening to Billy Graham on Sirius but needed something different. Thank you....
Thanks for the more frequent uploads as of late. Even if only one is saved by your ministering the Gospel of Jesus and sharing studies of God's Word, it is worth it! One is worth the cheers and applause of the angels. You led me to renewing my faith, and my true rebirth in Christ Jesus. Thank you for your dedication and love for God and His commandments! It is flowing from you like a river of living water! God bless and Godspeed, brother!
I have been listening to your sermons via the Pandora App every week (or when there's a new sermon). I appreciate how you don't sugarcoat the Word. I appreciate how you remain humble (acknowledge your sin(s) too). I appreciate how your message doesn't sound like an advert using Christ and salvation as a selling point. I just wanted to really say I appreciate all your work. And thank you. I felt moved to encourage you and I send all my love. Your congregation is blessed. (Comments shortened for ...
Thank you, your ministry has drawn me closer to Christ Jesus.
I just recently found your ministry site. I've enjoyed listening to your sermons. Thankful for all of the teaching on grace. Take Care. God bless you.
Every time I listen to your teaching from the Bible, I gain more insight as to the meaning of the text. The Bible is not just text to be read or listened to, but to be understood in the context of who is speaking, who is being addressed, where is it taking place, time period, etc. These are brought out in your messages. Thank you for the sound doctrine that is being taught at Return to the Word Ministries. The Bible is just as relevant today as it was when it was ...
I came across your radio program and I have been so blessed. I just started listening recently and I believe that God has been trying to get my attention. Your bible teachings have cleared up a lot of things I've had struggles with. I want to grow deeper in God's grace and truth. (Comments shortened for length)
Thank you Pastor Mark Fontecchio for your teachings in the Word of God. I just love it. Happy AND BLESSED NEW YEAR, with your Beautiful fami ...
I really like the preaching/explanation from Pastor Mark! I just found this last week on Pandora search, and I can't stop listening. Praise the Lord!
