Leonard and Dora Mae are the nicest people, I’m shocked that this happened to them. We will continue to shop at their store and send customers their way.

This man is loving with a Christian spirit. I pray God blessed him abundantly . Ephesians 3:21

My wife and I were just at Leonard's store for the first time this past weekend. We planned to continue being patrons of his store - even more so now after hearing his story.
Take up your plow sir, don't look back!

Leonard, I also live in this area and have been a customer for years! Warm conversations Everytime! Your story has moved me. I am a local family photographer and would love to offer you and your family your very first family portraits. Not allowed to have pictures of your loved ones just breaks my heart. Just know that the Windsor community loves and supports you and your family!!

One thing about Being shunned is You have their Attention, and they’re watching You. Our LORD Will take care of You.

Brother Leonard you didn't get shunned by spiritual leaders, you got shunned buy religious leaders, big difference, we're saved by grace through faith 🙏 God will restore you ten fold in the name of Jesus, the only rule is love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself ❤I love you brother in the name of Jesus

I'm Amish and i approve this message lol Awesome testimony Leonard and always remember, who can stand against us if God is for us !?

[jlmullen]

Thankful for Leonards stance against the hypocrisy in the Amish community. I've known and driven for most of the people that Leonard says he is praying for. I have also been praying and am hopeful to see the Lord move on the hearts of these people we Love. May Jesus Christ be glorified! Hallelujah

[sandramoyer]

May we all strive to be like Leonard and Dora! Life is short, eternity is forever

[ItsJustMeLRB]

This is my area. I’m a customer at their store & friends with him on Facebook. Such kind people!

[tinabest]

This won't stop me from shopping there... prayers of support for them

[robertmiller]

Hey Leonard! Cousin Robert here from northern Indiana, so exciting to see you walk the path of faith in Jesus Christ! Sounds like you’re aware of one of the pitfalls of going through excommunication, and that is bitterness. Blessings!🙏

[andyp]

I'm Amish myself and that Amish community needs to be ashamed of their self righteous ways here in Michigan we're taught let's make sure we don't put our rules in front of God's rules

[tabbylove]

Thank you for helping to share the their story. We live near by, and have passed their store a handful of times, but never made it in. We will be changing that very soon! Looking forward to watching part 2.

[ElwinRansom]

I've known Leonard for years, and had many wonderful conversations with him, but I never knew the 'behind-the-scenes' trials he was going through.
It all makes sense now that he's opened up about his struggles with the laws of the elders in conflict with the gospel of Christ's grace.
God bless him.

[chilidog]

Leonard's the definition of what a Christian should be. To him, the Bible is serious business. He says what he means and does what he says. God bless him and his family.

[jamesesouthwick]

I`m praying for this brother in Christ, that the Lord our God will bless him and his family.

[Kra-rifd]

Please start an online store. I would love to support thus family but I live in Maryland.

[daughterofthekingjesus]

We have known Leonard and Dora Mae for years! My husband witnessed to Leonard and we prayed for them often!

[debpeterson]

I was shunned by a Pentecostal Church in Defiance OHio-of course they didn't call it that, but no one was allowed to call me or talk to me. Very wrong and painful, but Jesus accepts me and has blessed me so many times over since then(2005) THis man is so sweet;I love listening to him and appreciate his scripture quoting-hope he knows about being born again;it's not by works that we are saved. That religious spirit is so evil!
