"My Testimony"

Posted by: Michelle

It was the middle of last year 2005 that i first met christ . at that time

i was really depressed i was caught up in wicca and trying to deal with my

brothers drug abuse and skitzafrenia i was on the verge of commiting

suicide the first thing that got me thinking was a trip we went down to

sydeny and i got to meet my aunty wendy and uncle ron and jess sam and jo

they were really amazing people and they were christians i started

thinking and re thinking about god . when we got back home i was online one

day and down the bottom of my page was a ad that said want to know how

much god loves you? i clicked on the link not very conviced of any of this

and i watched a video, it told me about jesus and about god and choices so

i clicked on a couple more links and started to have a look around the next

day at school we had a motevational speaker now usually the ones we get

up here were pretty ordinary but the

guy was amazing he had been born without arms or legs he had the most

amazing courage he told us that he belived in us and loved us even if

we had never heard that before then after wards we could go talk to him and

give him a hug i had broken down in tears and he held me and i told him

about everything he asked if he could pray for me and we prayed together

after he left i took the leap and decied to accept christ . im sure that if i

hadn;'t of found him i wouldn't be here right now things have changed a

lot and there is still lots of problems but i know with God i can make

it.

Staff: Adam B:

I remember, when I was little I hated going to church. I thought it was boring. Yet every time I would do something “religious” like communion, I would cry. I would always get sad. After my Paster left the church, we basically stopped attending also. It seems as though Satan had a strong hold on me then because I never went to church, or got active with religious things or ever followed God. Yet sometimes, I would think of Him. At that point in my life, I started questioning and doubting about God. Thinking He wasn’t reall, or heaven is fake, or Religions is a thing that is made up by people in this world to get hope. I just doubted and questioned a lot. Thoughts just plagued my mind that God is fake.

But luckily, friends of mine who lived close to me started bringing me to different churches with them. Then they brought me to Daybreak. (The Church I Am With Now) At daybreak, I found a lot of cool and friendly people. But after attending Daybreak for a month or two, I still felt far away from God. I never bothered worshipping or singing either. I then started feeling more and more doubts and questions like never before until I couldn’t stand it any more. So one Sunday, I wanted to ask my youth Paster for help, and I did. He gave me a book to look over that would answer most of my problems. Getting this book “Touch Points for Students” seemed to be the key beginning with a relationship with God.

Finally after several months of searching and questioning and talking with a lot of other Christians, I finally got to know God. Most of my questions were answered and I started growing closer and closer to God yet I never really committed to him yet. One year, the Youth had a fall retreat which is where the youth ministry would go somewhere and spend time with God and have some fun. Never thinking that this would be the biggest point of my life, I went. One night at the retreat, we had a special time with God and we would silently go to stations and read about Jesus and god, pray and would have a chance to do Communion. When I went to the first station and sat down, I cried. I cried so hard, I couldn’t stop. All I could think of while I was crying was how I used to think about God and my relationship that I have with Him now. I cried for longer than an hour w/out stopping. I couldn’t figure out why. Then finally inmidst of my crying, I finally told myself that I need to accept God and need to really live for God. I told myself that I need to live like everyone else- I just looked at other people and at other Christians and their happiness and their relationships with Christ, I knew I never had and I would like the same. Finally after I told myself all of these things, I stopped crying and I went to another Youth Paster, and asked him to pray for me. I told him all I could, but while I was talking, I started crying again. (I felt really bad for him because I don’t think he could hear and understand what I was saying). After we prayed, I did communion and I felt good. After I walked out, I felt really relieved and happy. I now know that God had won over a complete battle over Satan. When I look back, I know that before I really accepted Christ and God, Satan had a hold of me and evertime I got close to God, I would always cry with shame and guilt. But now, I never cry with shame and guilt, I cry with happiness and I now know that I am with god and I am on the right track. Yet right now, even though I am on the road with God, my road will turn and wind a little. I still have severe questions, and those questions come up every single day. But these questions aren’t as bad. These questions now comes with answers. And with these answers I am able to help other people who are going through tough times and questioning too.

If God takes You to it, He'll take You through it"

Your Testimony:

My name is Steve and I am proud today to say that I am a Christian who loves our

lord God with all of my heart and soul; however the road to this moment in my

life would take me on a journey of pain, suffering and anguish that no man

should ever have to endure.

 With my story I hope to encourage young people and some older who are still

fighting the old life they lead to change and find Jesus as their savior so they

may lead a wonderful life as I do today.

From the ages of 15 when I ran away from home to when I turned 30, I had been

shot, stabbed, bashed, involved in most criminal activities and sentenced to

more than 13 years in prison from which I escaped twice. My life was fast, I had

carried a gun for most of this time for protection from other people in my world

and was capable of doing things that today I cannot believe I have done. As a 15

year old boy I was easily influenced and the types of people I had found myself

with were not going to help me aspire to anything great, they would teach me to

steal and fight, both of which were paramount to the life I was leading at the

time.

Over a 15 year period I would go from stealing milk money from people’s door

steps to stealing cars, armed robbery, and accessory to murder. From these

events I was to serve many years in prison with other violent men who taught me

even more things to do wrong.

I was 25 years old and standing in a prison yard looking at the other inmates

interacting when it suddenly hit me that I was just like them, a person with no

future who could quite possibly die in prison if I did not do something about my

life NOW! I made a conscious decision to stay out of trouble, get a job and live

a normal life.

At this time God was not on my mind or my family or anyone else for that matter,

it was still about me, but it was a start. For the next 5 years I stayed away

from all the action and told my friends that I didn't want to be involved in

anything with them that would jeopardize my release from prison. I had started

taking cours!

 es and w

orking in the industrial area of the prison where I learned metal and wood work

skills.

I was finally released from prison and went about fulfilling my goal of doing

the right thing, it was at this time that I had started seeing my fiancé Derise;

she was a breath of fresh air after a few mistakes made along this new path,

nothing too serious or illegal. Derise comes from a Christian family and has

wonderful values and beautiful heart. We started dating and we got very serious

and I knew one day I would marry her, but God had a trip for us to go on first,

Derise had fallen ill with kidney failure and desperately needed a transplant.

We had no available family donors and chances were slim of her getting a second

chance. They had placed her on dialysis and said we had to wait for a donor,

which as we were to find out is a slim to none chance over a 5 year period

because there are so many people waiting. It was at this point that I decided to

get tested to see I would be compatible, we were told this would be a million to

one shot, but we had to try. After three months of needles and testing we had

been given great news, I was compatible.

We were elated but we still had the surgery to deal with, the waiting list was

up to 18 months, so were still worried. Then out of the blue not 4 weeks later

we got a call that an opening had come up and we could have the operation in 5

weeks.

We were excited and scared at the same time. We went to hospital and I went down

to the theatre to have my kidney removed, then Derise was brought down to

receive it. From the moment that kidney was placed inside her body she was well

again and we have never looked back. I went to Derise's room after she had come

out of surgery to see her and hold her hand and I was at that moment I knew

there was a true God and this was His work, I said to her, I want us to go to

church together once we are out of hospital. That is exactly what we did and I

gave my life to Jesus, 2 years on we are still there loving the Lord and his

children.!

  My life

 now is telling people about Jesus and how he can save their lives with faith; I

have a wonderful life and a beautiful fiancé that I cherish. My story is one

that could have gone many ways but with Gods love to back you up you have no

fear, and even if things do go wrong, don't blame God, He is there to love you

.

I would like to dedicate my testimony to a few of the people who have help

change my life to the Lord.

Firstly my fiance Derise, Anthony Whitton, Alison drury, Jamie & Lisa Sharp,

Dave & Tracey Hall

 Thank You everyone, God Bless

How I discovered Gods love

Your Testimony:

I was about 11 years old and afriend of mine called one of our secret girl club

meetings to discuss something important. It turned out that she thought that we

should go to church.After a few months there we had Bible school.I remember

being told the A,B,Cs of salvation .A ask him in your heart Believe He rose from

the grave and C confess your sins. I made another profession at church camp. I

really dont know if I was saved then or not,because I have been through very

sinfull lifestyle and been affiliated with a number of cults. The one thing that

allways bought me ought of them was my belief that the Bible was the truth and

the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit.Ido know thatmy Sunday School teacher Mary

Jane Bailey was used of God to teach me the Bible is the one and only word of

God .I guess Im kind of like the boys in the furnace.Ive been through the fire

and live.Thank the Lord for being so faithful ,and loving me so much that he

didnt give up on me.Vicki Adams
