Northeast Juvenile Center letters for Pastor Payton after his visit in December:

Dear Rev. Payton,
I appreciate what you told us in your speech. I think it helped me in a way that nobody has helped me. I am writing this because I just am saying thank you so much.
Signed, "B"

Dear Pastor Payton,
I want to thank you for coming out here, you and your helpers (ladies from our Heart2Heart Ministry). It really made me feel good because I've been locked up the past three (3) years during the Christmas holidays and that party made me feel like I was at home again.

The word you gave really had me thinking so I also want to thank you for that because that night I turned around and gave my life to Christ.
So thank you for everything you did. Everyone really appreciated what you did for us.
Signed, "BS"
