You are a comedienne who is a Christian comedian. I am proud to tell people you are a Christian comedian when I tell them to watch you on YouTube. There should be more of you. I am so thankful I found you on YouTube, Chonda. Thank you, Lord, and thank you, Chonda. 🙏❤🙏

Chonda, I remember going to San Francisco on a business trip in the 1980's. We were all taken to a restaurant where our people were ordering alcoholic drinks. I ordered a Sprite. Sharon, a lady who was in charge of me while I was there, stood up and called out to me from another table, "Melissa, you can order a real drink! You're 3, 000 miles from home. No one will ever know." I knew I had to take a bold stand. I also stood up and answered, "Well, not only will I know, but the God I serve will see and know, so I will just drink my Sprite!" The others, to my surprise, applauded! And Sharon found a deeper relationship to God, which she still has today.

Just got the book last week - can’t wait to read it!!!

I'm not a Christian but I love how open she is about everything in life through Christianity. Too many people hide their prejudice and negativity behind Christianity. She uses it as a way to bring out her humanity and form deep connections with everyone. Much love <3

Second row piano side was so a blessing to me and sorry I lost it. Have been praying for you since June 2000. God bless you.

I just love you Chonda. You make me laugh when I didn't feel like laughing. Thank you. God is so good.

Thank you for your boldness and not backing down on your relationship with Christ.

Thank you Ms. Chonda. My mom brought me to one of your women's conferences years ago in Denver. Since then, I've raised my children (Tommy and Darren), as well as buried them both, 23 months apart. Darren wasn't given basic healthcare and died because of it, slowly over 8 months. Tommy was beat to death by cops in same city. I don't know what my future holds anymore, but I'm thankful for your laughter. I don't do that much anymore. Thank you, and God bless you.

I had an employer once tell me that I had to quit talking about my faith and about Christ while on the job. I "might" offend people. I came in contact with Senior Citizens daily on this job. Sometimes they were "down in the dumps" or just feeling old, and I tried my best to lift their spirits. I ignored what my boss told me, and prayed openly with those who were hurting, and we talked about Jesus and the hope for a better tomorrow that He has promised. I think I made a difference some days, some days not. Who really knows. But it made smiles happen and that made all the difference. I didn't get fired, either!! Thank you for being such a wonderful influence to so many. Bless you!!
