  "When I was six years old my dad had pasted away. I thought that my life was over,but with my family and the prayers I got through it. It still hurts, because your dad is dead, but with God you can get through it. I remembered all the good things, my dad did for me. He would pick me and my sister up from school, help us with are homework. But the one thing that I will always and cherish about my dad is that he was a very good family/christian man. The best. He would always take us to church. No matter what. He was always there for people. He taught my sister and I the good stuff from wrong.I love my dad for doing all those thing. And teaching us discipline. Without both of my parent stressing those morals on me I don't think i would be the young lady that I am today. i thank God for having them in my life even though my dad is dead. I would like to thank them, but especially My savior Jesus Christ. " - Camille
 
  "When I was 8 years old, my dad passed away. That sent my world into turmoil. I spent weeks, months, not talking about what happened. I figured that if i didn't talk about it, everything would be better and I'd get my dad back. I did not know that, it wouldn't work. eventually, through the love and support of my family, I began to heal. Looking back, I still miss my dad. I still want him back and I still wish that we could be together again. . . We will be together again. I just remind myself that God does everything for a reason. Someday I will see him again. Until then. . . Te amo mucho daddy " - Stacey
 
  "I'm very thankful to have a father in my life. The father is not only the spiritual leader of the home, but he is also the one that provides for the family in countless ways and is the one who carries some of the heaviest responsibilities. My father, Karl Watson, has put up with me and everything I've got myself into, even though he had problems of his own. He always makes sure I have everything I need to be comfortable an protects me from evil when I cannot see it myself. Even though I cannot see what he's protecting me from the first time, I later on realize what he's doing, which reminds me of something that God does for each and everyone of us. So I thank the Lord again for putting my father in my life, because I really cannot imagine having someone else in his place. :) " - Dominique
 
  "God loves us all so much! He died for us all! I thank you for your encouragement throuhg E-prayer. God answer prayers in a very special way. My brothers, be strong in the Lord always. He will never leave you or forsake you. " - Annonymous
 
  When I was a boy I was blessed to grow in A Loving Home Surrounded By Positive Brothers, Sisters & a Loving Mother. As a kid I was influenced by many gospel artists & around 6 years old I cried to a song named "Lean On Me" By Kirk Franklin. And when I was a kid I didn't know why I was crying to the song & my Mom told me it was the Anointing, & from then on my Mom always told me I would be doing something for the Lord but I didn't believe it. But now that I'm older & looked back over my life I see she was right & now understand that there is no higher calling then to worship God. So I want to thank God for giving me the right Mom because she has always encouraged me & kept me in prayer to do what is right! God Bless :) - Jeremy
 
  As a little child, I did not have a higher dream than my family to be reunited with my dad. He left for the United States just months before my second birthday. But I've been truly blessed to have had my dad! Despite his lack of presence over all those years, he didn't fail to provide for our needs and wants even until now that we are together. He taught me how to be strong and how to stand firm in what I believe is right. Although I admit, what may seem right to me sometimes, well, was actually wrong. And OUR father in heaven promised; "I have told you these things so that in me you will have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" John 16:33

A special thanks to all of the Fathers out there! - Charmaine
 
 

He has done great thing bless his holly name...every single one of you heard about the hearthquake in haiti. how so many people have lost so much. my family's home is in the west and as you all know, the west was the epicenter of the hearthquake...well, let me tell you something about our family home: this home was a garden of prayer always, i grew up in this house with the prayers of my uncle who was a pastor. every morning he would wake us up to sing and pray giving thanks to God for adding another morning to our lives...sure we were not the prrfect family, but i can tell you this; we were the family that prays, that gives glory to God no matter what the circumstaces are...that's why i beleive our family home did stay up during this hearthquake not because it is the most sofisticated, the best designed house in the area,while all the houses on the whole block surrounding it fell flat on the ground, but because it is a house base on the rock...faith+prayer+praise=shaken, but we shall never fall, for we are standing on the rock=JESUS

I thank God that I'm still here this day and it's not by my own good but, by God's grace. When I was nearly killed by a bullet and was shot at, I thank God that God was my shield. I could have been dead and gone this day but God kept me here FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS! I'm not what I used to be and all this time, it's been God's work in me!!! -Quavon
 
 

About a Month and a Half ago one of my friends little sisters had an accident on her bicycle. She cut her Two of her fingers and the doctors said that they would have to remove partial of the two fingers, because of her age. I went into immediate prayer and God turned the whole situation around and she still has all her fingers. Don't ever think that God is not listening.

I used to have such a messed up childhood filled with violence with my parents. Things wouldn't go right with my used to be friends. I never thought about how bad mt life was till I look back on it now. I started praying and attending a youth group and I started hearing God speak to me. in the past I barley believed in him and now I realize, The Lord can even Fix the scars others cant see; He can patch hearts and warm souls; He will wipe your tears and lift your troubles; He will talk to you and Embrace you; He is our God and we are his people ♥

 

We are here to be his people and his followers.We must always show his Love to the world through ourselves and apply the teachings of the bible to our lives.We must always believe in the power of prayer and in the power of God.


We must believe in ourselves as his people to light the candles around the world.


we must guide the rest of his people to his undying light.


To his love, His mercy, His kingdom.


My brothers and sister let us all love God and the world he's given us.
May we spread his Joy and glory to all ends of the earth. This is a lesson forever learned. God bless

I had the privilege of being born and raised in an Adventist house hold. For many years my whole life revolved around the church and its activities. My father being an evangelist in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Canada made sure that I accompany him as often as possible to his meetings, seminars and speaking engagements. I remember spending whole Saturdays at the church or at some ones house just listening to them discussing the Bible and Ellen G. White writings. But deep inside me all I wanted to do was get out and play with my friends.


I had great faith and I believe in God with all my heart but I had no interest in really knowing about the Bible. I had many answered prayers that are just amazing but I had little knowledge of what the Bible had to say about God answering my prayers.


In 1996 my father was called back to Canada to work in the literature ministry. By this time I was 12 years old and I knew very little about the Adventist faith (I am referring to deep knowledge not just superficial) but I was attending Church often. I noticed how it didn’t matter to anyone that I didn’t know anything as long as I was coming to church, even though some people really did not wanted me in church and they made sure I knew it (I was a trouble maker).


In 1998 we arrive to Cicero Illinois. Things here were more liberal that in the Dominican Republic. For the first time I saw women wearing pants in the church and wearing jewelry, I saw how anyone was allow to go to the pulpit no matter how they were dressed (casual, sport and such). I was in shocked; I saw how the culture affects the interpretation of the Bible if we could call it that. Needless to say that I became a cultural Adventist more than I already was, I was just following other men thoughts and not my own. I was tremendously affected by the culture both in the church and outside. I began to doubt my faith not the Christian faith but the Adventist message. I began to wonder why the Sabbath and the why of the other doctrine that we don’t have in common with other denomination. I began to think that I could be a good Christian and still have what I called a good time, until I saw a passage from the 1 timothy 4:1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

 

In 2004 when I started to date the woman who became my spouse, I began to realize how far away from my roots I had gone. I never actually got out of the church but I was in the world just the same. Dating Marleny I started to walk back towards Jesus and I can really say that she not only helped me but inspired me to do so.


In 2005 I married Marleny and I soon realized that I was empty inside. My walk with Jesus need more than just expecting Him to do something for me, in Him I have found joy. (I am cutting a lot to keep this short). Then I had the opportunity to asked God what it was that I needed to do to have a more meaningful relationship with Him. Them someone gave me a DVD from Amazing Facts, and I found their website and began to recognize some of the truth that I grew up listening to. It was amazing!


In 2008 I went to Amazing facts center for evangelism and came back on fire for the lord, I started calling my friends and offering Bible studies and soon 8 Bible studies are being held, almost every day of the week . It is amazing what the Lord will do for you once you asked Him with an open heart to give you and use you.
I was given a bible study to a person that I’ve met while I was transporting her to the store in my taxi. She looked tired and appeared not interested in the Bible study, but I could not understand why she called me and continue to come if she was not interested. So I asked her what was happening, she told me that she was sick, that she could not sleep, had diabetes and was taking about 10 different pills and that’s why she was drowsy all the time. At that moment I realize that I could not minister to her spiritual needs without ministering to her physical needs and that was the case for all my Bible study. I looked at the example of Jesus and how He would first heal the people and then called them to follow HIM. I read many quotes from the spirit of prophesy about the need for medical evangelism. I remember praying with all my heart for God to allow me to help people with their health and teach them to follow Him as well. I knew that God is all powerful and that if it will bring Glory to His name He would impart me the knowledge to do just that. Almost immediately I was introduced to Chip Ministry, a health improvement program run by an Adventist Doctor, I did my best to work and coordinate but it looked like that was not Gods plan. But I knew he had answered my prayers, so I continue to research and read. I was disappointed on the fact that in order to make a move forward it was a struggle. So I decided that if I was to do something I need to step deeper in faith and expand my horizons.


For years I was listening to different Christian radio shows such as “ask the pastor”, “open forum” and such and I remember getting angry at the none biblical answers they would give to the callers and wonder why was there not an actual Adventist radio station that could do so. I research and found some Adventist stations but only on the internet or not in the state and only once a week. I found “voice of prophesy “at 5am to 5:30 am but very few people are up by that time.


I asked God to give me the opportunity to have a radio program to actually give Bible at a time where people are up. I remember thinking that it was impossible since you need to be rich to do that. Soon after that my father got an invitation from an Adventist from Chicago Hispanic church. He invited my father to preach for 30 minutes in his radio program that air once a week every Sunday for one hour.


Afterward I told my father to find out how much and how can we start something like that. We spoke with the General Manager of the station and came out with a contract for 1 hour a day everyday Monday-Friday from 8-9 in the morning radio dial AM850. We invested what little we had for our mortgage and expenses and agreed to pay weekly for the rest. It’s been almost 4 month on the air but the Lord is working. We had a vast audience that follows the word every morning and we also have been giving many seminars on the weekend which is why I have not been in church lately.


The seminars are mostly about health and the Bible, (so God did answered my prayers) there are wonderful testimonies of people with high blood pressure, diabetes and digestive problem the lord is working powerfully and we continue to work for the lord. There have been numerous Bible studies being held and personal visits made to help families in their time of needs.


It has not been easy, but God is leading. There are tremendous needs, but we are trusting God. I will write a prayer request with them later but in the mean time please, please keep us in prayers, don’t forget to asked God how you could help further His Ministry.


The conclusion of all this is, God can transform your life and make you useful if only you would ask whole heartedly.


May God bless all of you brothers and sisters.

 

- Jose
