Yes — Les Feldick personally opens and reads every letter sent to the ministry.
In the clips, Les says, "I personally open every letter, I personally read them at least twice" (Clip 4) and "I'm going to read every single letter" (Clip 1). He also explains that he reads the letters himself and then hands them over to Iris, rather than having a staff member read them first (Clip 3). He describes mail time as the high point of the day.
The provided clips do not connect this question to a specific Bible verse. The question is a ministry-practice question rather than a doctrinal one. The passages Les is teaching in these programs — Romans 11, 2 Corinthians 2, Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 10, and Romans 5 — are the lesson texts, but none of them address whether a ministry leader should personally open and read mail.
Les says every letter is read by him personally. He opens each one, reads it at least twice, and then hands it to Iris. No secretary or staff member reads the mail in his place. He encourages people to write even when they cannot contribute, explaining that the mail is not opened looking for money. He values comments, prayer requests, and questions. While he cannot answer every letter, he does his best to answer direct questions. He also assures viewers that writing or giving will not put them on a junk-mail list.
Yes. Les says, "I am going to read it" and "I'm going to read every single letter" (Clip 1). He says he personally opens every letter and reads them at least twice (Clip 4). Iris also reads the mail, and Les says "it's not just some member of a staff that's reading it, but we read it ourselves" (Clip 3).
Les says the ministry loves to hear "your comments, your prayer requests, your questions, or what have you" (Clip 1). He says people should not hesitate to write even if they cannot send a contribution, since the mail is not opened looking for money (Clip 1). He also says those with direct questions should write, and he will do his best to respond (Clip 4).
Les says, "I wish I could answer every one, but that of course is impossible. I do good just answering the ones that have direct questions" (Clip 4). So he reads everything, but he prioritizes answering letters that contain questions.
Les assures viewers: "You will not get a bunch of junk mail begging for money." If someone sends a contribution, they get a receipt and acknowledgment and "that's it" (Clip 6). He also says the ministry makes no mail appeals and uses the list only for occasional seminar notices (Clip 7).
Les says the ministry has no office and no secretaries, so the 800 number comes into their home. Either his wife Iris answers the phone, or Les answers it himself (Clip 6). He also says they enjoy phone calls as well as letters (Clip 3).
