Share Your Testimony

A whole new way of life

I was brought up in a 'sort' of Christian. In other words my parents made my brothers and I go to church on Sunday, but didn't go themselves. What I learned in church though stuck.

Six years ago, many years later my husband and I were on a Christian holiday called Spring Harvest. 6,000 Christians in one holiday camp. In the first day I kept getting the same Bible reading from Luke 18.18 'Sell everything and follow me'. I spoke to my husband about it and his response was that he had felt we were being called to do His work for some time. Then asked me to turn the TV back on.

We prayed with our Deacon and his wife to show us how to go forward, stating You show us where and we'll go, as long as it isn't with children.

We put our house on the market (well He did say sell everything) and tried for several places without any luck. Out of the blue we got an email from a person in Ukraine 'We would love to have you, when are you coming?' To this day, neither he not we know where he got ouor details from.

A friend who has a daughter working in Russia told us 'You'll have a lot of problems getting a visa. It took me nearly a year when I went to visit my daughter.' He was shocked and surprised when we told him we already had our visa and our air tickets.

While in Ukraine we had a phone call from our Estate Agent telling us they had an offer for our house. We felt comfortable in Ukraine and felt that the house sale was our sign that this was the place. We came out here perminantly five years ago, working with children, by the way. Never challenge God by saying 'As long as it's not ....'

We quickly realised that the person we had come to work with only wanted out money and for us to shut up and stay out of the way. By the time I told him to get lost we had bought a house, but been tricked out of all our money, plus some more.

We are now registerd as a charity here and in England and have two Ukrainian children living with us (can't take any more full time as the law changed just before we were going to take in our third and we are now considered too old). We also have four children from the local Internat (children's home) at weekends and sometimes when they have school holidays. We also help about 42 children in the local town of Brovary to stay off the streets and keep families together.

We originally saw this as a five year committment, but now it is a life times commitment. We will eventually be buried here in the village of Knyazhichi, but we hope that won't be for a long time yet, but as with everything else, this will be up to the Boss upstairs.

The picture below is the kids we have with us (Albina is missing as she didn't come this particular weekend)

SAVED BY JESUS

Fri, 02 May 2008 20:22:14 GMT

T.I.M.E. --- aka Tariq Abubaker was born in Jerusalem on March 3, 1979. T.I.M.E. Was brought to the United States at three years old by his mother. He grew up in Los Angeles California and struggled to pursue the dream God the father gave him as a little child. Time was born a Muslim and battled the controversy of 2000 years of religion and Islam. At twenty one years old T.I.M.E. gave his life to Jesus Christ and to the sole purpose of spreading the gospel throughout the world. He is going to release his first gospel hip-hop album titled 'Purity' march 3, 2008. His hit single 'Saved By Jesus' is only one impression of the true God given talent that accompanies this true and powerful prophet. All praises and glory to the savior Jesus Christ. We all have an opportunity to turn our life over to the king of kings and experience the true love of a father who loves all his children.

T.I.M.E. has broken the baracade of the secular industry with his music. The music industry is afraid to be real about the Word of the Lord because the fear of low record sales – on the other hand, So Blessed Entertainment plans on showing everyone otherwise.

delivered on a mission trip

the day i was born, my biological father Mark walked into the room, took one look at me, then walked back out. I've never seen him my entire life. I'm 16 now. I have a stepdad who has stepped up to the plate and has taken a role as the father in my life. but i couldn't let go of Mark. After all, he was my father. For 15 years, i've had this feeling burried deep inside me that if i wasn't born everything wouldvé been okay. He stayed for 2 years for my sisiter. but he left the day i was born. It hurt to think about him, but i'm okay. I'm in Managua, Nicaragua on a missions trip right now, and we had a deliverance service last night (april 3, 2008) at Hosana (the main church in Managua.). No one in the group knew of my dad and what he did. at the end the service, during altar call, i broke down crying. the group started praying for me, even though they didn't know what they were praying about. I felt like this huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders and i felt good. all the hatred that i had harbored for him was gone. i was happy for the first time in years. I feel this peace in my soul like verything is going to be fine. so,
i hope you can relate to my story or my past and see that God will move in a mighty way, even if you seem lost.

Healing

I was born with a condition known as Hydrocephalis.. When I was 3 years old I was diagnosed with a brain Tumor, doctors removed the tumor but I quickly developed complications and they had to place tubes in my head. I spent the next 13 years in and out of hospitals on average of once a year for major shunt revisions or replacements.

When I was 15 I began attending an Apostolic church and was baptized in the name of Jesus. When I was 17 I was prayed for in faith during a healing service in Racine, WI. Since that time I have not had a single operation for shunt and/or brain related problems.

I am a walking testimony of the healing power of God and faith in the name of Jesus.

Finding that at which I so seek.

Hi it is me again yes Bree the one with out a computer of her own . You might ask do you believe in god? I say yes , But if you asked me that question in 2005 and 2006 I would have said not sure, but also those would be the years I would soon find god, and know now that what my heart so needed now has been filled with the one true god, and always will be for ever. A path worth taking even if it was the hardest road I had to go on by my self for I didn't grow up with a family who new god at the moment it is me and my mom and sister believe in some thing not sure what but I do think my mom might be starting to believe but not agreeing with all the view points of it such as she believes we were not all born in sin. well got to go God Bless from Bree
