	My Story By Wayne Franklin	Read
	I married my wife, whom I met at church (Lutheran), 5 years ago when I was 23 years old. She was divorced for the second time, with two children. James was just 12 and Nancy had just turned 10. James's biological father had abandoned my wife while she was still pregnant (he left her to join the Jehovah's Witnesses cult). When she remarried, her new husband adopted James and then had Nancy....

	My Story By Krinda Allen	Read
	As a child, I slept with covers over my head, fearing what lay in wait for me in the dark. This was no childhood fear of monsters under the bed or witches in the closet. This was mortal terror for what I knew first hand was out there. In my family, the demons were not imagined. They were real.My mother read tarot cards over each of us when we were born, to see whether our future held bad omens...

	My Story By Jack Donnelly	Read
	My testimony wouldn't be complete without some background history so let me begin back in the 1980 time frame. I was employed by GTE when I attended a Billy Graham Crusade in Tampa Florida. Several of my employees had been witnessing to me and loaning me tapes but I rarely listened to them. I had attended Sunday school when I was young but my parents didn't attend church or claim to be...

	My Story By William Minall	Read
	It was 1965 when I met the girl of my life, my wife Bette. She was a Christian, but I was not. We met while directing a play for a children's theatre group. Although I was lost in sin, I knew there was something missing, something that I could not fill no matter how hard I tried. Well, Bette was a wonderful girl, she told me about Jesus and what a difference He could make in my life it I would...

	My Story By Joyce Lindsey	Read
	I acknowledged our Lord and Savior 8 years ago at the age of 47. I was very pig-headed about this at first, and it is interesting to see how the Lord does work through people in your life. My sister came to live with me after both my sons left home, so I was by myself. Rita was (she passed away 1 1/2 years ago) a Christian but really never showed me the gospel, but she did take me to church with...

	My Story By Peggy Curl	Read
	There was once a time when I did a lot of run'in and gun'in, doing things that today I'm not so proud of. On top of it all I added drugs and alcohol to my madness. I remember one day walking past the bathroom mirror and not even recognizing the person looking back at me. It was a shell of a woman that I did not know. I got close to the face and stared into her eyes and saw the most empty sorrow...

	My Salvation Testimony By Sophie Bunce	Read
	"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His lovingkindness endures forever." I was brought up in the Methodist church but never remember hearing the gospel until I was twelve years old. First Methodist was having a revival and the speaker talked about Jesus' sufferings on the cross for me. I heard my Saviour calling me for the first time that night, and I walked the aisle. I was the only one...

	My Salvation Story By Graham Bishop	Read
	Before becoming a Christian, I used to think that 'heaven' was some place in another dimension somewhere, that you automatically got zapped into when you die! I wasn't an atheist, but on the other hand I wasn't a Christian either. At the time, I was very much into Science Fiction and got hooked on the theories of Erich von Daeniken (was God an astronaut). At the time, I didn't realise just how...

	My Personal Story By Billy Mack	Read
	When I was 12 yrs old I was taken from my Father while he was at work. My Mom just came early to school and got me out of school and told me to come home and pack my things because we're moving. I really didn't know what was going on, so I did as my mother told me. When we got to the house I went up into my room and there was nothing really in there. Just some of my scattered belongings all over...

	My Personal Salvation Story By Annie Vincent	Read
	I was raised as a Catholic and attended Catholic schools up to the age of 11. I loved God as best as I knew how. I wanted to be a nun because I thought that was the way to be holy and close to God. I was intrigued by the pomp and circumstance of the Catholic Church traditions and felt that being close to God was to try to keep all the commandments and practice the traditions of the church to the...

	My Salvation Testimony By Doug Spencer	Read
	I became a Christian at the age of 9 years. God has been so very faithful to me since that wonderful moment. I wish that I had been as responsible during all of these years, but even so His grace and mercy have always been so perfect. There are a million or more facets to my growth as a Christian, but as I seek the Lord's Spirit for the purpose of this letter, I write as His hand leads me. I...

	My Testimony By George Nazar	Read
	I hope this testimony gives glory to God and shows what the Lord can do with a yielded heart. Rejection expresses itself in many different ways; some people turn on themselves, feel they are useless, worthless and not good for anything - and in extreme cases, commit suicide. Some become aggressive and take it out on others through manipulation and control and in extreme cases also commit...

	My Personal Testimony By Eberechukwu Oji	Read
	Oji Eberechukwu is my name. I am a Nigerian engineer and I live and work in Nigeria. I pray that my personal testimony would encourage you and show you the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ. For someone brought up in a Christian family, the turn of my life in the University is something that cannot be easily explained. The only possible explanation is as in Ephesians 2:2: The devil works in...

	My Personal Testimony By Angela Whitehead	Read
	As a child I recall getting on my knees every night as my mother would pray with me. I also recall childhood memories due to circumstances and experiences which left me feeling hurt, rejected and unloved. I grew up with a poor self-esteem, feeling that I had to win the approval of others. I realize how Satan had sown tares in my garden at such a young age. Matthew 13:27-28 says, 'So the servants...

	My Personal Testimony By Catherine Boivin	Read
	-- Given at my Water Baptism, September 1996 -- I had first become a Christian about 17 years ago due to my Mom and Dad's faithful prayers and spiritual guidance. But once I married and our family expanded there no longer seemed to be time for the Lord. I still belonged to the Catholic Church but I lacked a strong Christian fellowship, and I was not involved in any Bible Study group or...

	My Testimony By Linda Adams	Read
	I grew up in a house with an alcoholic father. I learned when I was older that it is very common for children of alcoholics to try to become as invisible as possible, which I did for many years. He was also abusive, and for one reason or another so was my mother. My father hit and my mother would lock us out of the house when we misbehaved, sometimes all night. I remember I was about 5 the first...

	My Story By Susan Strutz	Read
	Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to Father, except by Me." (John 14:6) I was invited to the Harvest Banquet by my friends and neighbors, Fred and Beth. Fred worked with my ex-husband and brought a woman over to our house to meet me. Well, she stayed while the guys went out about their business and we got along famously. She had been a truck driver and met Fred...

	My Testimony By Jason Dalnoki	Read
	My grade two teacher used to tell our class about God's love and how we were all brothers and sisters, yet he was physically abusing me. The abuses that he gave me made me think this was God's way of telling me he loved me. I wanted nothing to do with God because of this. My fears of authority quickly turned into hate, which then turned into rage. At the age of sixteen my mother kicked me out...

	Testimony By David McConnell	Read
	There was a young man whose life started out a bit rough. At the age of two his father passed away from cancer. At the age of six his mother remarried. It was not long before the abuse started. No matter how hard he tried to please his new dad, he just could not seem to. Ashamed of what his stepfather was doing to him, he kept his secret quiet from his mother. The mother was also being...

	My Personal Salvation Story By Chris Hallgren	Read
	As a child and a young adult, I was very active in the First Methodist Church of DeKalb, Illinois. I had a special relationship with the minister, Bill White, all the way through catechism. In a childish way, I was very close to Jesus. I served as the president of the Methodist Youth Fellowship for Northern Illinois in high school. We were active in integrating the black Methodist churches with...

	My Story By Sharon Ellington	Read
	I was raised above two bars, Rathskillers and the Clipper. My mother held down two jobs to support us and never went on welfare. If cleanliness is next to Godliness, then our home missed the mark. Mealtimes, bedtimes, and structure were not present in my life. I didn't learn the value of brushing my teeth, cleaning my room, washing my hair, or any of those simple tasks so many children take for...

	My Personal Salvation Testimony By Scott Hurd	Read
	I used to feel reluctant to share my testimony because I didn't think it was particularly interesting or relevant to others. I was raised in a Christian home, and my mother was the embodiment of everything I have come to know a Christian should be - sincere, loving, patient, tolerant, strong, sympathetic, faithful, vigilant, prayerful, one who acted out her faith in her everyday living....

	My Story By Lon Wong	Read
	I accepted Christ when I was 16 years old. I came from a non-Christian family and for some reason, in grade 10, I decided to check out a church. I was your typical everyday nice guy. School was never a problem for me, I had awesome friends, no real financial concerns, and all the freedom a kid could want at my age. I did whatever I wanted to do, felt blessed, and was thankful. I was always out,...

	My Personal Salvation Testimony By Ed Bons	Read
	God got a hold of my life about 30 years ago. It was during the Jesus People revolution and a lot of young people were looking for meaning to life. I was one of them. I looked in many places and ultimately thought the meaning rested in the use of drugs. I even remember the time we offered a homosexual a way out of his predicament, through the use of marijuana. We fervently "evangelized" this guy,...

	My Testimony By Monty Hardy	Read
	I grew up on a farm and enjoyed working on the farm. We went to a rural, traditional, dead church. We went to church when Mom and Dad felt like going. I remember Dad always giving me and Mom a dollar to put in the offering plate as it went by. I learned very little in church since it didn't have any significance to me nor my parents. I was, however, very close to my parents. I was one of the...

	My Personal Salvation Testimony By Gilbert Nigh	Read
	I was brought up going to a mainline church with my family. We attended faithfully, but it never really had any impact on me. The main objective seemed to be enduring through to the end of the hour and about all I got out of 12 years in Sunday School was knowing the names of a few books of the Bible. Probably a lot of the blame for that rests on me. When I got to the teenage years I stopped going...

	Personal Testimony By Donovan Abshire	Read
	My name is Donovan Louis Abshire. I am 28 years old, and I am a Christian. My wife Holly and I have been married for about 5 and a half years, and we have 3 children - Evan (6) and Kaitlin (4) and Erin (6 months). I am a member of a local nondenominational church, and I have been attending there for close to 4 years now. This is my personal testimony, and the path I've walked for the first 28...

	My Personal Salvation Story By Yuen Cheng	Read
	I was raised in a traditional Chinese family with a Christian Mother. Since Dad married a Christian against his parents' warning, my Mom suffered a great deal for her faith (attacks from my Dad's relatives). As a result, she was almost always bedridden when we were young (up till I was 7 years old, and I am the oldest of 5 kids. She had 5 kids in 6 years.). In spite of all that she has...

	My Personal Salvation Testimony By Ruth McMillan Mayfield	Read
	"The Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword; piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12) I was brought up Roman Catholic but my parents were not devout. Consequently I did not take much stock in their religion, either. I have always had a keen...

	My Personal Testimony By Andrew Caldwell	Read
	I was a child raised in a nominally Christian home in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. My parents and I went to a large evangelical church every Sunday, and I would participate in Sunday School and other church activities. I cannot remember a time where we ever did not go to church . in fact, there are times when I can even remember glimpses of being in the church nursery as a toddler. I was...

	His Grace and Love Saved My Life ... (My Personal Salvation Story) By Natasha Nadeau	Read
	When I was two years old, my Father left our family, leaving my mother to provide for both my brother and myself. My mother raised us in her Muslim faith. My brother and I never felt accepted in the world because we where so young and our father left us -- we were the only two white children in the family (my mom is from Georgetown, Guyana, and she has a dark complexion, along with her entire...

	My Testimony By Craig Cole	Read
	I was raised in a church-going family. However, religion to me was Sunday morning at church only and it was never brought home. My parents also let their children be rather autonomous. So at age twelve, I decided that church was not for me and I opted out from going on Sundays. I attended public schools in a small northwest college town and excelled in math and science. I learned the laws of...

	When I was six years old, my parents divorced and my mother and sister and I moved to Texas. My mother took my sister and me to church every Sunday.The other children and I attended Sunday School while the adults went to the service in the chapel. In Sunday school, we learned about the typical Bible stories: Samson and Delilah, Daniel and the Lions' Den, David and Goliath, etc. One Sunday, our...

	My Story By David Love	Read
	For reasons I don't always understand, I have put off this moment far too often. Bits and pieces have come to me over the last year or two, and I feel it's best to try to put these words down before time runs out.I grew up in a home with only a little bit of religion, and no knowledge of what a relationship with God or Jesus Christ was like. As a small child, I went to a Roman Catholic school,...

	My Personal Testimony By David Elgueta	Read
	I was born on March 17, 1966. My parents are and were Christians before I was born. My mother came to the Lord in the 50's and during that time it was very hard to be a Protestant in Chile, a country governed by the Catholic Church. Protestants were persecuted and discriminated by Catholic Church and society. When my father fell in love with my mother he didn't know the Lord. He started to go...
