The Goodwins set a sterling example of excellence in ministry, in doctrine, in character, and in love. I deeply respect their ministry and the tremendous contribution they made to the Charismatic branch of the Body of Christ.

     The statements published on this website are accurate to the best of my knowledge and research. However, I do not claim to speak for what Mom and Dad Goodwin would approve of or disapprove of if they were still alive.  I think we have to let their writings and recordings speak for them.

     I wish to express my sincere gratitude to:  Dr. Charles Goodwin, Grace Gruver, Dodie Osteen, Rev. Joe Jordan, Rev. Ron Sirkel, and others who prefer to remain nameless, for the information, encouragement, and materials they have provided for this website.

     I'm thankful for the help of the Communications Department of Missouri Southern State University for their technical assistance and advice.

     A special thank you goes to Rev. Don and Beverly Davis.  They tracked down the Goodwin master tapes, and spent countless hours over several years, researching and working with their soundman to index the recordings, filter out the background noise, and put these recordings into a modern format.  It was their vision to make these recordings available to the world, by download, free of charge.  And I count it an honor to be a part of their vision by hosting the Goodwin Collection on this site.  

     Lastly, I thank also Kenneth Copeland Ministries, the late Kenneth Hagin, and the Flower Heritage Pentecostal Museum, for preserving and sharing with me Goodwin ministry materials and records.

     Kind Regards,

     Mel C. Montgomery
