" Ramon " NOV 2009
Hello, my name is Ramon; I want to thank God for my salvation. I got saved Oct. 3rd 1990. I was involved in drugs, alcohol, and partying. For 15yrs. I was unknowingly ripped off by the devil, not realizing that I was hurting my family, myself, and friends. I was deceived i was lied to i was hurting i was lost I was cheated and I was always drunk, I wigged out on P.C.P. Maybe the last 3 of the 15yrs. that I was ripped off I was in despair. I had no direction I had no purpose in life an my will to live was dying out. But thank God that He looked upon my meaningless and purposeless life and had mercy and compassion on me. Then God sent someone to intervene in my life because all I was doing was messing it all up. the Good News is that God helped me rid myself of the drugs and partying, which was part of the reason I was in such despair, with no purpose and no direction. But then God began to do a work in me, by His Spirit and by His word. I thank God for using me to have impact on those whom I come contact with. My mom and my brother before they passed away said a sinners prayer. My baby brother shortly after I was saved gave his life to God and raised his children in church, in 2007 my nephew along with his wife gave their life to Jesus. God is using me with my friends and family, God is using me with my friends and family, God is done not done with me yet. Who knows what God has in store for me, I patiently wait on Him, and I thank God for my salvation, Amen! Amen!
"Monica" JULY 2009
Hi ! my mane is Monica. I am 1 of 6 kids in my family. the only one who didn't graduate High School, the only one who messed with drugs, and the one who holds the coveted title for getting the belt the most. I I was a big liar through it all trying to never get caught. once I dropped out High School, I took a job at a McDonald's. I got marry when I was 18. Three years later I quit to have my firstborn son. He was six months old when I got saved in 1996. For some crazy reason I thought I was okay before that Life had slowed down being a new mom. I was trying to do good. I thought I was going to Heaven because I wasn't that bad. I had never killed anybody or done hard drugs . Is that all it took me from hell? Come on! What a lie! I would have gone straight to hell! Thank God I got Saved.
God has wonderfully blessed me with four kids. I am so thankful not to carry the guilt and shame of my past sins. Now that my firstborn is a teenager, I thank God I can share Jesus with him. He can be saved from all the heartache sin brings. I want all my kids to be save and know Jesus to be their savior. I might have done things a lot different with my kids if I hadn't gotten saved. Maybe I would say, " Kids are going to do things anyways." And just go with it. Maybe I'd be one of of those "cool" moms and party with my kids and have girlfriends over. So sorry... Not happening! Sin leads to death. I was blessed to escape death and hell. I want better for my kids. Gods giving me patience and wisdom, to raise them. I plan to keep serving God here in Upland.
And if God doesn't do anything else for me, I'll continue to live for him, just because I'm so very grateful that He stepped into my life, and gave me a new start. Praise God! If your not saved: the Devil is real and he's a Liar, he'll give you all kinds of reasons and excuses why you shouldn't become a Christian... yet. But the time is now! Jesus is knocking at the door. He is real. He will change your life if you would only let Him in. If your already saved: Praise God! Keep going Don't look Back The devil will try to lie to you too. He wants you back. Backslider God still loves you. Thank you for letting me share my testimony with you, and taking the time to read it. All Glory to God!
