We did not receive as much feedback on this comic book as we had hoped, but here are some of the submitted reports and responses:
"It is getting a great reception this side." (from Zimbabwe)
"My pastor loves the comics ... The Life Gate cover is by far the favorite." (from South Africa)
"I had my son (15 years) and daughter (10 years) review them. They liked them. My daughter voted the South African one her best." (from Kenya)
"The response is largely optimistic - In the sense of people can see how a comic like this could have a big impact. So people are excited more about what's to come than what they see at the moment. It's good to make people aware of comics and the role they can play in equipping and evangelizing." (from South Africa)
"The comics were moving albeit slowly. I had sold about 50 ... All the comics I sold, I did in churches. All were bought by adults who were buying them for their children." (from Kenya)
"The comic books are not moving like I expected, but I am not bothered. The few that read it gave good comments about it. If it is only one soul I am able to touch through my comics, I feel it is worth it. I thank you for your vision and pray that God will continue to strengthen, encourage and fight your battles for me. I am very grateful. God bless you, Sir!" (from Nigeria)
"I've just read the first issue of Good Shepherd and was very impressed. The standard is high and there is a good mix of styles and stories. I especially liked Willem Samuel's Street Kid. Easy 'reading' with no words - good for illiterate readers. Illustrations tell it all. Just couldn't figure out why page 6 was at the beginning instead of the end. Olusola Akinseye has done a magnificent job in explaining 'The Best Time For The Right Decision'. Enlarged as flip charts this would make a valuable teaching aid. Polycarp Mboya has done a thought provoking piece that illustrates 'the wages of sin'. Very necessary in our AIDS ridden continent. Overall a good read and a beautiful cover. Thank you."
