This story is from 2012. Sadly, in December 2016, the Catholic Church who owns the building, took away Mr Thomas’ access to it. If you search Greg Thomas Minnesota old church, you should find an article about this. He died about 6-7 months later. RIP, Mr Thomas - I believe you were welcomed into heaven hearing these words: “Well done, my good and faithful servant”
It's a shame they only cared about it AFTER everything he did for that long forgotten, beautiful church. They should have just let him be. He was truly saved.
@@shamadayart - It is a shame. After it was repaired, people started making visits to it. The church decided it was a liability. It’s disgusting that they did this. Mr Thomas could only enter if he was escorted by someone from the church.
The thing is, if strangers started going there and someone got hurt, then they could sue the daylights out of the diocese. So the diocese looks petty, but I kinda understand their concern. I was told by an insurance co that I should have coverage for farm fields just in case a trespasser gets hurt. So, I wouldn't want to get sued becuz some stranger decides to go "looking".@@grumpyoldlady_rants
They deemed Mr Thomas a liability but not the priests that hurt all of those children. Instead they moved and hid them. Mr Thomas didn't run or hide, not even from his cancer...he went to God and did what God asked of him. I see it as him doing this for God...not the religion that owns the church.
I'm not Catholic I'm a Christian. Meaning beads or repeating the rosary a million times does nothing for our salvation. Dead saints cannot save us, mother Mary cannot save us. Only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is where we find forgiveness of our sins and saves our souls. Jesus is king of kings and Lord of lords. Romans chapter 10 verse 9 says it all
Yes,me too. Ignore the other comment. People who have to knock down what others believe in are just proving how far from the truth of Jesus they are. May Our Lady touch the hearts of such people and open their minds and hearts.
@tricianobis8338 Jesus said he is the way the truth and the life and no one goes to the father unless they go through him. I'm simply telling people that Jesus is the only way. Clutching some beads, quoting rosaries does nothing for you. Only by Grace of the blood of Christ can we be saved. Otherwise you're putting faith in your performance and efforts.
@H Boy your showing your ignorance right off the bat huh? There is a special place in hell for people like you!! And I am sure Satan has your room all ready for ya.
Mr. Thomas, you needed that Church. And that Church needed YOU! May you be helping our Father with His Heavenly Home with all your loved one's. Blessings to your four legged helper too! ♥️🙏🏼♥️ 🐕
I am the Way the Truth and the Life. John XIV 6 (John 14: 6). Greg Thomas found his Way, his Truth and his Life while doing what Our Lord asked him to do. He didn’t question it or run from it, he embraced His mission that the Lord put before him. Rest In Peace Mr Greg Thomas and May Perpetual Light Shine Upon You. Amen. You have been called Home to Your Eternal Rest after You fulfilled what Our Heavenly Lord asked of You. From a Grateful Catholic in Colorado ❤❤❤
God Bless you Greg. Greg shared his gift of time and his hard work. 🙏 I certainly believe God had a big hand in all of this story. 🙏 Thank you for sharing this story. 🙏
Ive been getting recommended amazing stories such as these we need more like these it would people to keep going and know there is still good in the world!
What a beautiful example of God’s Amazing Grace 😊this man truly has taught me more by his example THAN ALL THE PREACHERS & TEACHERS I have ever met ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
God Bless! A wonderful moving story of Faith & Hope! In the midst of life's struggles. Prayer and never conceding in fear, doubt & worry! Acceptance and surrendering to God directing life's challenges! AMEN!
Every cancer patient needs an old dog friend. When I came home from chemo and would crash in my chair, that snoopy got years of ear rubs from. He either got more rubs or I could simply say, no not today snoopy and he would go lay on his rug by the door. Was like he could read my mind by the tone of my voice.
Somebody threw sand in my eyes😢 This is a prophetic act. Old churches are wells of faith, and they can be dug out afresh. Bless and heal this man of faith Almighty God, and may living waters flow forth from your people there. Mat it become a site of pilgrimage, drawing people of faith, and may healing flow, in Christ's name! Ps where can I give to support this ministry?
What a beat story! God bless this man and may we all find peace in the Lord. All we have to do is knock and he will open the door of his church for you!
Oh God! This truly touched my heart! Im in tears! My God, Jesus & Holy Spirit are absolutely awesome! I love Them with all my heart, my mind and my soul! Thank you for sharing this amazing story and testimony! Thank you!

The power of prayer can bring a miracle.
Yes it truly can🙏🙏🙏🙏
😂😂😂😂 lunatic
More than ever, we need these type of stories.
Amen ❤🙏
After changing the locks He was no longer allowed to enter the church he restored without an escort
@ what?????
Amen!
Thank you lord for blessing this man and all of us I give all praise and glory to my lord Jesus Christ
The Catholic Church took it away and made it so he couldn't be there without an escort. He died 6-7 months later.
God truly works in mysterious ways what a beautiful story
One of the beads of my Rosary every day for Greg, too. Wow. I needed this.

This is by far Thee Best Story I have watched!!
I’m so glad God had you find and restore the church!
He has truly blessed you!
Faith.
Blessings.
In 2016, the church changed the locks as Greg was no longer allowed into the church
Gregg was no longer allowed in the church ..oh wow!!...😢
what, they locked him out after he fixed it?
I will keep this news segment and refer to it every once in a while to see how blessed I am and how lucky I am. Thank you.
You should lookup the rest of the story. It unfortunately doesn't have a happy ending.
It is beautiful how this man carried his cross. May he rest in peace within the kingdom of heaven.
Here it is 6 yrs later and I’m blessed to have seen this random story on RUclips.
God is amazing, and so is this man. What a beautiful story
@H Boy your showing your ignorance right off the bat huh? There is a special place in hell for people like you!! And I am sure Satan has your room all ready for ya.
God gave him cancer then. That’s not anything wonderful.
@@ndgoirish5463No, the Lord healed his cancer. The Lord allowed the spirit of cancer so this man would draw close to Him.
@@ndgoirish5463 WHO REALLY KNOWS WHY ANYTHING HAPPENS WE CAN ONLY BE HERE NOW AND THATS WHAT THIS MAN DID AWESOME.
No, God created the world without plague or death. Adam and Eve gave us sin and death.
He took his eyes of himself and the Lord blessed him with a miracle. Work for the Lord and he will see you through. Hallelujah.
This is a heart warming story. Bless Mr Greg Thomas
What a beautiful story. Praise be to God for healing you. Praise be to Greg for restoring God's house.
Mr. Thomas, you needed that Church.
And that Church needed YOU!
May you be helping our Father with His Heavenly Home with all your loved one's. Blessings to your four legged helper too! ♥️🙏🏼♥️ 🐕
