"Every experience God gives us, every person he puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future only he can see,"

Testimonials :
"I want to thank the Lord for peace. With all the things that was going on around me my mind was in turmoil. The Lord gave me a peace in my spirit that I had never experienced before. Phil 4:7 tells us that God will give us a peace that surpasses all understanding . It's true because I've experienced it."

"I give all the glory to God and thank him for all that he has done. I had been praying for a new truck for around three years. I had wrote down in detail, down to the color, what I wanted in my new truck. I prayed over it daily and as I went about my day I thanked the lord for my truck. I prayed, fasted, sewed seed offerings in faith and believing that I would get my truck. At times it would get hard as my car started to get worse and I would ask the lord when, when will the door be open for me to get my truck? But I would still thank him for it and I had to stand on my faith that I would have my blessing. I truly understand that our time is not the time of the Lords and that he will be there always on time. It has also taught me a better appreciation of my truck that I know only the Lord could have provided me.
Faith,
Sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible."

"I have been a Christian for many, many years. However for at least 20 years I had battled an addiction. I did not think I would ever be free of this addiction. I had tried to break this habit many times and got prayer numerous times but I was still bound .It became such a struggle within. It was like two people living in one body and constantly at war with each other. I wanted to live for God, but at times the desire for this habit would be so strong. This obsession had become a stronghold in my life. When I would give in to this craving it would give me pleasure but afterwards I would be tormented with tremendous guilt.
I finally came to a point in my life where I began to realize I could not continue to live a double life. Something had to give, either I was going to completely surrender my life to Christ and allow him access to every area of my life or I was going to give up Christianity all together. I was so tired of the constant battle within, the lies, the deception and the double life. I began to cry out to God from deep within. I wanted and needed him to intervene. I wanted to be free and completely delivered. I praise God, he heard my cry. During my despair, my pastor preached a message on how a person can be physically free yet imprisoned. He talked about addictions being like chains on a person, they allow you to go so far, but then pull you back reminding you that they are yet attached to you. At the end of that service he did not give the traditional alter call and invite us to come to the alter for prayer. Instead, while we were seated and praying he asked us to lift our hands if we were imprisoned by an addiction. I raised my hand, we prayed and all I know is that God set me free and completely delivered me from this addiction.
Each and every day I am leaning on God, and trusting in Him for the strength to resist the tempter. God has been and is faithful, not allowing me to be tempted beyond what I can bear and providing a way of escape. I am completely confident that God will carry out to completion the work He has begun in me. I now have an intimacy with God that I was missing for so long. I am now free of the guilt and hopelessness, which once overwhelmed me.
I am free today because as John 8:36 states “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

I am currently a senior at college. Last semester I did not qualify for nor could I get a grant for college. I asked my mom and step dad, but they did not plan it in the budget, they were certain I would get a grant. I asked my mom what I was going to do. She kept telling me to wait and see what God was going to do. I waited and on the last day of registration I received a call from my mechanics instructor, who told me to come to the school and register. I told him I did not have the funds to pay, he told me to come anyway. I went thinking this was going to be a wasted trip. Whenever I got to college, the president of the college had “created” a scholarship for me. It covered all my tuition expenses and my books. God supplied my need then and he also blessed me with $1500 dollars worth of brand new tools and a tool box. I did not pay anything for the tools/tool box.
