Discipleship/Evangelism That Works "Today" !!

The most important part of Discipleship is Commitment! Jesus could not have made disciples had they not committed to follow him. The commitment Jesus asked for was simple. Follow me! As people followed him they were discipled. They learned to be imitators of Jesus! The strength of what we teach is also based on commitment! It is not as strong as the 3 year commitment that Jesus required, but it has been proven very effective. We have been able to effectively disciple a couple hundred people over the last 3 years as a result of getting the following commitments! We have found that, if a Christian will commit to write out their testimony and commit to share it daily, that this commitment sets the stage for the Holy Spirit to disciple them! The first thing we challenge people to do in our discipleship teaching is to commit to write their testimony and be a part of a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book or their own Testimony Flyer. The second thing we do is challenge people to carry 2 copies of the Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book or their Testimony Flyers in their hand every time they leave the door of their home and every time they get out of their car. The third thing we do is challenge them to ask the Holy Spirit to help them in the giving away of the Testimony books or Testimony Flyers! The forth thing we do is challenge them to practice what was taught in that session. In session 2, we taught on As You Go: Hear and Obey the Voice of God. The commitment to carry the Testimony Books or Flyers and the Commitment to Hear and Obey the Voice of God, As They Go...is joined with the commitment to ask the Holy Spirit to help them. This sets the stage for the Holy Spirit to be active in their life! If a person is always carrying the Gospel message with them in the form of a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book or Testimony Flyer and always practicing Hearing and Obeying the Voice of God as they go, then they are always trusting in the Holy Spirit to help them! This gives the Holy Spirit total access to all their Time and Daily Life! Sons and Daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God! What we accomplish during our 12 Discipleship Sessions is getting a strong commitment from the person being discipled to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them into Living a Witnessing Lifestyle! When the Holy Spirit comes upon us we will be His Witnesses! Watching the 12 Discipleship Videos is Good, but on their own it is not enough to make a disciple! It is the joining together of the videos and the commitment to write, carry and use your testimony that will help you to be a strong disciple of Jesus!

Depressed Beyond Hope - Real Life Stories Books

There were indications of my father sexually abusing myself and my siblings.
I was always lonely.
I tried drinking to numb the pain.
I was searching for things to fill the hole in my heart, until...

My life started in 1961 in Forest Park, Illinois. My mom and dad lived there while my dad was in dental school. Shortly after my dad was out of dental school we moved to Michigan. He started his dental practice there. But it was short lived as we moved to Wheaton, Illinois just before I started kindergarten.

Around fourth grade my dad was witnessed to by a neighbor. He used the Four Spiritual Laws as his tool to show my dad his need for the Lord in his life. My dad grew up in a Reformed Church. My mom grew up in the Baptist church.

As my dad grew in the Lord he wanted to share this with his family, meaning his girls. I accepted the Lord into my heart in fourth grade. I remember peace coming into my heart. We as a family also started going to church.

As I grew older, there were indications of my father sexually abusing my siblings and myself. I do not remember any of it. I have blocked it out!

There was the constant illness that happened when I was younger. I could not put this behind me. It happened before I was five. You see, I kept getting recurring strep throats. It happened so many times that I had to get my tonsils and adenoids out before I went into kindergarten. This has always been in the back of my mind.

I was not putting God first and trying to fill the empty hole on the inside of myself. I was always lonely. I was searching for things to fill that hole in my heart. So I tried drinking to numb the pain, went into chat rooms, met guys from singles sites, had one night stands such as friends with benefits and got married twice. I kept doing the same things over and over again. I started going to Celebrate Recovery in November 2012. I started going because my husband at the time was going due to his DUI. I figured I could go to support him, but it turned out that I really needed it for myself. I found out that I was codependent. I liked it and was learning so much that I even signed up for the step group.

In this group, God really touched my heart and I realized He really did love me. I saw this through Deuteronomy 31:6, which was a verse in the study. This verse says that God will never leave you nor forsake you. This really touched my heart. I also heard the song Healing Begins by Tenth Avenue North. This helped me to know that God loves me and this let me look at the rest of the stuff in my life.

With step group finishing and knowing I didn’t want to go backwards say into depression, etc. again, I then knew God wanted me to sign up for the School of the Supernatural. It was in this class that I continued to learn how much God loves us and wants a relationship with us. The love of our Father God is the best.

My first husband was verbally abusive and cheated on me. My second husband was a recovering alcoholic. He had tried several different times to stop drinking but could not. It got so bad that I could not trust him anymore. He had gotten a DUI. Then, after three years of not drinking, He started to drink again. He lost our car by getting into an accident. He called me, and I came to get him. He just left the car so he would not be caught with another DUI. He got my two boys involved with his drinking by having them help him get on his motorcycle when drinking. Several times, they found him passed out in the house when they got home from school. At my church my Pastor said that someone that keeps walking out on you (meaning a toxic person), this is God’s protection for you. He also said that if you were abused when younger, you will marry an abuser. These two comments really got me thinking. I can look at both of my marriages now and see that I had a moment before each one that God was talking to me, and He was saying don't do it. But I thought I knew better and went ahead with both marriages.

It was not until I started writing this story that God revealed some things to me. I remember my strep throats that I had when I was younger. God told me to “Google” strep throat and oral sex. This equals Gonorrhea. Gonorrhea can lead to kidney cancer, which my father died of when he was 38. I was 15 at the time. This is not solid proof of this happening, but I cannot look the other way either.

I have forgiven my dad and my two ex-husbands, along with forgiving myself. I can do this because God first loved me and forgave me. It is His love that keeps me going.

Father God has been there all along with me, and it has for sure been a journey. But with knowing Deuteronomy 31:6 (God will never leave you or forsake you), I can go on because my Father is with me.

Father God is the love of my life, my hope when there is none, and a constant in my life. I do not know where I would be without Him.

Friend, if you have dealt with any of the same issues I have dealt with, Father God will help you too! Just ask Him!

I WAS NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE - REAL LIFE STORIES BOOKS

In college, I took the path of having fun.

The van flipped end-over-end.

I had to hit rock bottom before I realized…

I grew up in a Christian home, attending church and hearing about God all my life. At seven, I became a Christian. I was active in church until my senior year of high school. When I took a job at local go-cart track, I usually worked late hours on Saturday evening, which caused me to start the habit of missing church the next morning. In college, I took a path of having fun rather than living for God. I had all but forgotten my spiritual commitment.

On October 2, 1982, a group of friends and I were coming home from the Winnie Texas Rice Festival, when a drunk driver struck our van, clipping off our left front wheel. The van flipped end-over-end. Two of us were thrown from the van. The other person was not injured, but my injuries were severe. The most serious were two crushed vertebrae. My parents were out of town at the time, and the doctors advised them to get to the hospital quickly as I was not expected to live through the night. When my parents arrived, the doctors told them if I did live, I would never walk again. My parents did the only thing they could do; they prayed, asking their friends to pray too. My condition began to stabilize.

During my hospital stay, I prayed and sang to God around the clock. I had to hit rock bottom before I realized my need for God. I cried out to the Lord for my healing, and He heard my prayer.

After my stay in the hospital, I was sent to the rehabilitation center to learn how to walk again. If the physical therapist asked me to do a certain exercise fifty times, I would do it one hundred times. “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.” Matthew 5:41. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity God had given me to totally depend on Him. Today, even though I walk with a slight limp, I am grateful for my recovery - both physically and spiritually. Shepherds have an interesting way of handling wayward sheep. It seems there is always one stubborn sheep that wants to wander off. The shepherd will leave the flock to find and bring the one wayward sheep home. If the sheep continues to wander, the shepherd will actually break the sheep’s leg. The shepherd will then carry the sheep on his shoulder until its leg is healed. During this time, he feeds and cares for the sheep. The sheep becomes one hundred percent dependent on the shepherd.

After that, the sheep never leaves the shepherd’s side again. What appeared at first to be a cruel act was actually very loving. If the shepherd had not disciplined the sheep, its wandering could have destroyed it. God lovingly disciplined me to bring me back to Him. I am thankful to my Savior, Jesus, for my salvation.

In talking to others about my faith, I have discovered there are many Christians who do not read God’s Word daily. I made a personal commitment not to leave my house without reading at least one Bible verse. I schedule my time in the Word every day, so I can be equipped for whatever comes my way that day.

For most of my Christian life, reading God’s Word daily was not a habit. Now, I keep the Bible on my kitchen table as a reminder to read it every morning. I like to challenge people to read the Word by asking them, “Would you leave your house without eating breakfast?” Then I follow with, “Why would you leave without feeding yourself spiritually?” Daily Bible reading will equip you to face the day.

My Life Was Like Murphy’s Law! - Real Life Stories Books

My life was like Murphy’s Law! Anything that could go wrong, would go wrong. Until I found true peace and joy through... Jesus. This is my story:

I am 46 years old and single. I’m sitting here wondering where to begin. My mother and father divorced when I was real young. To this day, I really don’t know why. Those are things that we never asked or talked about. What I do remember, is that my life was never a good one. I grew up very poor and suffered with abuse all my life. My whole life, I always felt that I was never wanted. I always felt that nobody loved me, or I never fit in or belonged. I did have two beautiful children that I loved with all my heart. I always tried to do what was best, but things never worked out the way I wanted them to. I don’t remember anything good in my life. It was confusing, unstable, and very dark. Nothing ever went right and whatever could go wrong, would go wrong. Things would happen to me and I could never understand why. I couldn’t figure out why these stupid things always happened to me. I always knew I was lost. I’ve been lost most of my adult life. I’ve seen some very bad things in my life - like drinking, drugs, and sex. But at that time, I didn’t know how bad I was lost. I wouldn’t wish that path on anyone. I don’t really know when I met Jesus. But I do know Jesus has always been with me. I know that is why I am still alive. Jesus has been walking with me. I grew up in the church. As I got older, church was not what I wanted. It seemed cold. I have been in and out of my current church, Jubilee Worship Center, for quite some time. What I love so much about this church is the love and warmth. As I finish my story, I realize that I am in a comfort zone. I do want to go ahead with God. God has brought peace in my life and joy. I’m looking forward to serving God for the rest of my life. I pray for my son and his family that one day they will come to know Jesus. I will keep praying for him, for myself, and for you. My life was like Murphy’s Law; “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” It was like that until I asked Jesus.

I Was Alive But Not Living - Real Life Stories Books

I was alive but not living. I was looking for love in all the wrong places. I never felt loved from my mother, and my father was not in my life. I thought men loved me but evidently not enough to marry me. By the time I was twenty-three years old, I was a single parent with four kids and no husband. It was hard raising four young kids with no education to fall back on. Some nights there was only enough food for the kids to eat. I cried myself to sleep many nights. I worked long hours making beds and cleaning toilets. We lived in the projects. It was clean and was a good environment for my kids at that time.

The projects later became very dangerous for my kids, and we moved into a two-flat. I immersed myself into the world. I entered a dark place in my life. I started smoking cigarettes and marijuana, drinking, and gambling. I thought I was really living, and God protected me and my kids. I knew of God and His power, but I did not have a relationship with God. I worked hard to provide for my family, and my kids had everything they needed. I loved them unconditionally, and they felt my love. I broke the curse off of my life and my family. I knew God and that He loved me, but I did not have a personal relationship with Him. Yet, He always had his hand on my life and my kids’ life. I thought if I gave up something in the world, I would lose myself.

When my kids were in high school, I met a coworker that owned a two flat. He rented me an apartment. I started selling marijuana and cocaine and using myself as well. I thought I was hiding the drugs from the kids, but they knew. I exposed my kids to drugs. I was making money and was able afford the better things out of life. Selling drugs was a convenience and a pleasure. I made sure my kids received a great education and great jobs.

I met a wonderful man name Ritchell at work. We started dating in 1985. He loved me and my kids. We became a family. My youngest child was very rebellious. He gave me a lot of trouble because of my lifestyle. He went to prison for drug use because of my bad example. I felt so guilty and blamed myself. Ritchell and I got married and became the parents for both of our kids. I was the mother of his kids because they didn’t have a mother figure in their lives. My kids didn’t have a great father figure in their lives, and my husband became that to them as well. We bought property together. He was everything in a man I could ever want.

I started going to church, and I received Christ in my life in 1996. Things in my life were going great. God was really blessing me and my family. My husband also gave his life to Christ, but he didn’t attend church very often. In 2002, my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. We battled that for two years. We lost the battle November 16, 2004.

Two years later, my mother died. I lost my faith in God, and things went downhill from there. I went back to the ways of the world. I started smoking, drinking, and gambling. I started going to the casino daily. I hit rock bottom. I lost my three buildings and my home. I had to work at UPS fulltime to supplement the income that I lost when my husband passed away.

The one thing I had was a praying family that never gave up on me. I had a sovereign God that loved me unconditionally. I returned to God in 2010. I rededicated my life back to Christ and served Him only. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2010, and God healed my body and restored my life. I got to know God in the fellowship of His suffering and made a decision to do His will. God’s love superseded any love that I have ever received. I have learned that God truly loves me. God has blessed me and my family tremendously.

I received a call from my son about his grandson’s health. The doctor stated he would not live through the night. He was nine months old. He had bleeding on his brain, and he had a stroke on his left side. I called the prayer warriors of the church. We went to the hospital daily and prayed for his recovery. He is now three years old. God healed him and made him whole. He is using his left side again. God continues to bless my seeds’ seed, as He stated in the bible. I have seen God work so many miracles. God is awesome. I have learned how to have a true relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ, the anointed one. I am praying for my kids to receive and love Christ and receive salvation.

I Should Have Died - Real Life Stories Books

I did a lot of dumb stuff.

Dad tried to kill me.

I became violent.

I survived four overdoses, alcohol poisoning, and one major accident.

I had a 56-thousand-pound coil fall off my trailer…

I grew up in an abusive home. My father was an alcoholic. My Dad tried to kill me because he felt that I was his last mistake. My dad was killed in a car accident. When I was about 5 or 6 years old, my mom remarried, and this is when I met the man who I would learn to love and relate to as dad.

At first, he was mentally and verbally abusive, and when he drank it wasn't fun. At around the age of 8 years old I started getting abused by four different guys and at the age of 13 to about 15, I was abused by two women. From that point on I became violent and thought life meant having as much sex as possible with any girl that would let me. Everyone that abused me gave me alcohol, and by age 14 I turned to drugs. Throughout my adolescent years I became a very angry person and would often get into fights with school kids. With life’s traumas and a turbulent upbringing, I was not doing well academically or socially and was set back three grades.

I eventually made it to high school. However, I was kicked out of grade 10 for my drunken behavior. I did a lot of dumb stuff during these years and got caught almost every time. At age 17, I was out drinking with friends where I managed to roll my car over going down a hill. The vehicle was miraculously turned completely over, landing back on its wheels and I never spilled a drop. What makes this even more amazing is that there were others who had gone over this hill and didn’t make it. In fact, I lost 5 of my friends over the years whose vehicles went over the exact same hill. I was astonished that I was still alive. At that time, I knew it could not have possibly been me driving.

In 1979, at a New Years Eve dance, I met the love of my life, Diana. In 1981, Diana and I got married. During the first two years of our marriage, I was drunk and high on drugs. My wife deserves a Gold medal as she stuck by me through thick and thin. Diana and I have been married for over 37 years! In 1983, our daughter was born and I knew that I needed help to turn my life around. That’s when I started attending AA meetings and found God for the first time. It was June 15th, 1983 and I found myself at my first AA meeting, hearing them tell me that God actually knows our hurts, He knows our pain and He wants to take it all away because He actually cares.

In 1985, our son was born and then a short time after, my wife and I joined a local church and met some really loving people. It was shortly thereafter, in 1986 that my wife and I gave our hearts to the Lord. Life was going well, however after 17 ½ years of attending AA meetings and going to church, I quit AA, quit going to church, and drifted back into my old worldly life. This was when life took a turn for the worse. Sometime in 2005, my wife and I got into a big fight, and she left for two days. At this time, I went home and took every drug in the house I could find. As I lay there unconscious, in either a vision or dream, I could hear my best friend who died in the early 90’s say, “You have to go back because the Lord has a big plan for your life.” I asked who he was, but he just smiled and told me that I would find out at the appointed time.

From that time on in my life, my wife and I had a small business called DanDee and the South Coast Movers. God is so faithful. In the year 2012, I won a contract with a moving company that was worth well over a million dollars a year. However, the first day I won the contract I went out to celebrate and got very drunk! I spent six and half months getting this contract, only to lose it in less than 10 hours. Around this time, it was early September 2012, where I felt so helpless and full of despair that I decided once again that I wanted to end my life. I took 25 metformin and put a full vile of insulin in my belly. I cried out to God and told Him that if He wanted me it was up to Him now. I drank my last 16oz whiskey and fell asleep. The next morning, I awoke, realizing that I couldn't even accomplish killing myself. I was so done with drinking and dragged myself back into AA. Looking back, from age 16, I had already survived four overdoses, alcohol poisoning and one major car accident. In the winter of 1994 while at work, I had a 56-thousand-pound coil fall off my trailer, and just as I moved a couple of feet, it fell to the ground and landed exactly where I had been standing. I should have died several times in my life, but God had His loving hands upon me.

To continue, I spent the next three years in and out of AA. It was during this time that my friend Dick invited Diana and I to his church. We met some people there that helped change our lives forever. I was invited to a place called the upper room where I learned so much about God. Then I was invited to a place called The Farm, where they were talking about trying to raise a dog from the dead and talking to some dude called Holy Spirit. That night I remember going home and telling my wife, “I ain't never going back, those guys are nuts.” Regardless, something drew me back the following Wednesday. I sat there on my chair, my hands felt like they were on fire. I was starting to see lights behind my ears and all the hair on my body stood on end. A lady who saw me in tears, asked what was wrong, and I told her. She got Rick and Jeremy to come over and talk to me for a while. I felt the love of God come into me. That was the most amazing feeling I had ever experienced. There is no drug, there is no drink, that can ever make you feel that good. From that point on I have been listening to Christian messages and consuming the Word of God. The Lord then started revealing people’s pain to me, and I was able to give words of knowledge and lay hands on them. When I first started praying for people about 3-5% were instantly healed. Three years later, my wife and I opened up our first prayer centre in Dunnville, Ontario. We witnessed many people who were hurt and lonely come and get healed and set free by the grace of God. A year later the Lord directed us to move to Hagersville, Ontario where we opened up a new prayer centre called The Greater Ontario Prayer Centre.

Over the last two and a half years we have witnessed many lives changed, people set free, and over 39 cases of cancer healed plus many other healings. God is great and we give Him all the glory! It has taken 4 ½ years of listening to healing messages every day. In the last year and a half, we have prayed for over 1500 people. Through the use of Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Books, we are able to pray for about 200 more people a month. I can say that I know the LOVE of GOD, and that's what I try to give away all the time. On December 5, 2017, I took my son to his first AA meeting. This impacted my life as well as my son’s greatly. Seeing my son go to AA meetings and the positive changes it had on his life encouraged me tremendously. It made me realize the importance of having Jesus in my life and that I could not do anything without Him! As of this year, 2018, I am 6 years sober and able to see others set free the way God set me Free! Thank you, Jesus, for saving my life, and for setting me free! Blessings all, love ya in Jesus mighty name, amen.

Day of Salvation - Real Life Stories Books

How do I get saved from the curse of the law? How do I get saved from being forever separated from God? How do I get saved from the Fires of Hell?

1. Admit that you have broken God’s Law.
2. Ask God to forgive you.
3. Confess Jesus as the Son of God.
4. Confess that Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
5. Confess that Jesus arose from the dead.

Salvation Testimonies

The Bible says:

For salvation that comes from trusting Christ --- which is what we preach --- is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation. For the Scriptures tell us that no one who believes in Christ will ever be disappointed. Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect; they all have the same Lord who generously gives his riches to all those who ask him for them. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

What Leaders are saying​about using Real Life Stories Books

In the year of 2012, God strategically and divinely connected Pure Gospel Ministries with Step by Step Ministries. God ordained a meeting between myself and Jim Barbarossa, better known as The Shofar Man. I thought I was going to this meeting for the sole purpose of purchasing some Tallits, but God the Master planner and strategist had an extraordinary purpose much bigger than either of us knew at the time. Our church was hosting a One New Man conference, and I was led to invite Jim and Carla to attend. They attended the conference, and a divine connection was instantly made between the two ministries.

Jim invited my wife and myself to one of the Unity Gathering meetings that he and Carla were facilitating. During this meeting, we were introduced to a new concept of believers in 5-fold ministries, working together without competition, personal gain, or agendas to evangelize the world. We were introduced to Step by Step Ministries, which was like no other ministry we had ever come in contact with.

Jim exposed us to the Evangelism Ministry that God downloaded to him and Carla. We were told in these meetings that every believer has a testimony that should be written and shared for the glory of God. We were given free Evangelism Tool

 such as Real Life Stories Volumes 1 and 2. We were strongly encouraged to pray over and distribute these books as we go about our daily lives.  After attending several meetings, Jim asked my wife and I to write our stories to be included in Real Life Stories Volume 3. I immediately wrote mine, but my wife was reluctant and took a while. My wife hesitated because she didn’t think her testimony was significant. This was a big step for both of us.

I Grew Up in the Carnival Business - Christian Testimonies

Have you ever created memories you wish you could forget? I have. My family was in the carnival business for 17 years. I literally grew up in it. My family traveled all the northern states. I worked seven days a week, 16 hours a day, during the summer months for many of my teenage years. Carnival life is very hard on a family. During the school year, my father would be gone five months out of the year while my mother stayed home with my younger brother and me. There were many challenges with my family relationships. I grew up extremely rebellious and making wrong choices in my life. By age 16, I had become a reckless fool.

One night, my brother and I used our parents’ Mustang car and went drinking and driving with our two friends. I was at the wheel when I took a 90-degree turn on a road while speeding at 90 miles an hour. The car flipped and rolled several times, eventually coming to an eerie stop. One of my friends was pinned under the car and critically injured. I do not recall being thrown out of the car, but I landed about 75 feet away from the accident. I woke up, sitting down, leaning against a fence post. That accident should have killed me, but I walked away from it with very minor scratches. My friend ended up at a hospital fighting for his life. My brother and our other friend survived the crash buckled in the car and were fine. The car was totaled.

The accident did not change me. We, as human beings in our own power, cannot change because it is our inborn nature to do what is evil. Fear gripped my heart at the possibility of having been killed in that accident, but I brushed that thought away. Later, I would understand that if I would have been killed then, I would have gone straight to hell, as God was not part of my life. God, the Father, in His infinite foreknowledge knew that I would come to Him, later on in my life at the age of 19. Although some people’s nature is better or more acceptable than others, we are all sinful in the sight of God and come short of His glory. Our only hope is for Him to redeem us though His plan of salvation for mankind. Christian Testimonies.

During my high school senior year, three female friends relentlessly “hammered away” the gospel of Jesus Christ at me with great love. One night, in the solitude of my bedroom, I was lying down in bed. I was tired and worn out from a guilty conscience of all my wrong doings. I was full of shame, sin, and guilt. I slipped off the bed and got on my knees, knowing I needed Jesus Christ in my life. That night, I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins. What a special favor poured out into my heart! After a prayer of salvation, I felt clean, whole, light, joyful, and full of hope of a future. For 10 years, I lived and breathed the Word of God. I could not get enough of His Word, the Bible. I would read two to three hours a night. My nature had changed to be Christ-like. My old ways became foreign to me, and I no longer desired sin. The Lord started using me to talk to others about Him and confront them of their lifestyles. I was encouraging them to come to Christ and then leading them to Christ for salvation. What an honor!

At age 21, I decided to quit dating. For a year and half, I prayed for my future wife and asked the Lord to guide me in my prayer. During my prayer times, I knew she would be of Hispanic descent. One month before I met my life mate, I felt the Lord telling me that I would meet my future wife shortly, and I did! A month later, I met her, and I knew she was to be my wife. Without a doubt, I knew the Lord had given her to me because she was everything that I had prayed for. My wife and I have been serving Jesus together since we met. Our home is a Christian home. Our children and grandchildren enjoy the blessings of a wholesome, loving family, and Christ continues to be the vibrant center of our lives.

For over 40 years now, I have lived a wonderful life in the Lord. He has been my guiding light at all times without fail. It is wonderful to have the freedom to read the Word, pray, and tell others about the eternal life and peace that Jesus Christ can offer. Through the years, it has been an honor and a privilege to have been part of other people’s conversion as they come to Christ, with the assurance of a more wholesome and abundant life here on earth and an exhilarating eternal life later. What a great fulfilling and satisfying life!

I would like to share with you how to have peace, a peace that surpasses anything you may be experiencing. If your life seems to have no meaning and no purpose, try Jesus. He will meet you where you are. Jesus knows who you are and the things you have done. I was in a place at one time in my life that was no good. I allowed Jesus to come into my life and take away the guilt, the shame, and the sin. These are three things that will wear you out quickly. What I am saying is the truth. This is my personal experience with my friend, Jesus Christ, who has made Himself more real to me than life itself. He has been so good for me, despite of all life’s hardships, mistakes, and problems that come at us as part of life itself. He is waiting for you to turn to Him for help. Like He says, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Please turn to Jesus. He will never let you down!
