My name is Henry and was raised as a Roman Catholic, attended 8 full years of Catholic parochial school and went through the sacraments as a child. Religion was very important to me as I was taught that Heaven and hell was based on how I lived my life. When I attended a youth conference in Gatlinburg, TN., I was exposed to the Bible for the first time in my life. Great Bible expositors taught me that "being saved" was NOT based upon my good works, but my trust in The Son of God who already accomplished the work in my stead. I prayed to receive Christ on 12/31/1974. I never have regretted my decision. No, it hasn't been an easy life since 28 years ago, but I do have a peace in my heart that I never had before. God Bless you in your quest and let me know your personal testimony. Revelation 12:11 - "And they overcame him who had the power of death by the Blood of The Lamb and by the words of their testimony." |

Dear Henry, I am responding to your letter thank you for being interested in hearing my testimony!:)Growing up as a child our family did not go to church or had anything to do with the word of God.I found out about this new life from a family that moved into our neighborhood. I was very inquisitive and wanted to get to know what it was all about so I befriended the girls that were my age and the two of them explained in detail all about Jesus and that He had died on the cross for our sins and that if I asked Him into my heart to change me I would be born again. I thought they were not telling me the truth because I never even heard of Jesus Christ. I just knew that they were different than the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. I found out that their dad was an evangilist and went out and preached of Jesus Christ and what He had done for all of us. I really started feeling kind of a loneliness that I never knew before but I still did not understand what it meant to be born again.Well, I started going to church with my friend which was also a different world that was just totally amazing to me. Are you sure you want to hear my testimony? My name is Cathy | ||||||
