Pastor Frank Oessenich
I have known the Lord Jesus Christ since my teen years, but only since following Him in answer to a call to full time service has the truth of a favorite verse in Psalms become real.
Psalms 16:11 says it all
" Thou wilt shew me the path of life; in thy presence is fulness of Joy; at thy right hand are pleasure for evermore.

 

Pastor Tommy Tennison
The first seventeen years of my life were spent with sparse church attendance and no knowledge of Christ. Then, through the witness of my aunt and the prompting of the Holy Spirit, I trusted Christ as my personal Savior while in basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. It was in October 1973 during Sunday evening chapel service on base that I gave my life to Christ. I base my eternal salvation upon John 3:16, Romans 6:23, John 1:12 and I John 5:11-12.

I grew up going to a Bible believing church and hearing God’s Word preached. At the same time I grew up enjoying the world and what it had to offer.  I began to realize that everything I did never truly brought me joy and fulfillment. Every pleasure seemed to be temporary and I knew I was missing something.  It was in high school while I was involved with my youth group that I started to question whether or not I had truly ever placed my trust in Christ and asked Him to forgive me of my sins.  It seemed like every day I would ask myself “what if I’m not saved” and finally I had to get an answer. So I went to my youth pastor’s home one night and he opened God’s Word. He asked me if I believed what the Word of God said concerning everything from Creation to Calvary to Heaven.  I said yes and he shared with me Ephesians 2:8&9, “ For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works lest, any man should boast.”  He told me that salvation was not anything I do to attain it, but what Christ has done on the cross for all of us.  All I have to do is place my faith and trust in Christ and ask Him to forgive me of my sins and He will save me.  So on July 30th, 1996 at seventeen years of age, I knelt down beside my youth pastor’s couch and asked Christ to forgive me and to save me from my sins.I am so thankful today for my personal relationship with my Heavenly Father and the joy I have because of what Christ has done for me.   

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”  Galatians 2:20

Hi! I'm a 19 year old who has been fortunate to grow up [and still live] in a Christian home.  My family and I went to church on Sundays, read the Bible, and prayed before meals and before going to bed.  I was "baptized" as an infant and made a "profession of faith" at the age of 8.  I continued to attend Sunday school and learned the facts of Christianity.  I thought I was a Christian.  However, I was deceived.  I professed to be a Christian with my mouth, but my actions showed otherwise.  I lived solely for myself, concerned only with how I could fulfill my fleshly lusts.  Instead of being a true believer, I was a make believer.

My teen years have been so out of tune with what the Bible describes as genuine faith.  I worshipped academics, music, sports, shopping, and so many more things, none of which dealt with God's Word.  Conviction, discontentment, and guilt haunted me to the point that I "asked Jesus into my heart" more times than I could ever count.  But, there was never any change.

Everything did change just three months ago.  I was on Christmas break spending a week with my brother, James, as he finished up his winter quarter at UCLA.  One Tuesday night, around 8 PM, James asked me what God had been teaching me.  I was speechless.  I didn't know what to say because it wasn't until then that I realized I hadn't been living a Christian life.  It became clear to me that I hadn't accepted the undeserved gift of salvation; that gift given to fulfill the purpose for which I was created - namely to glorify God.  It was that night that my life came to a glorious moment of understanding.  I realized that I had always believed the facts of Christianity, but had never submitted my life to the Lordship of Christ.  So, I finally did.  Through God's awesome grace, I submitted my life to Jesus Christ and His Word.

As I continue to be exposed to sound Biblical, I have new desires, new hopes, and a new hatred toward sin.  The facts of Easter and the cross on which Jesus died have been transformed from facts to faith.  I have begun to love and fear the Lord and I have found Jesus to be more than satisfying.

I am writing to you to let you know I became born again 5 years ago; I was reading the Bible and going to church. Our Pastor was telling us how Jesus can save us. One night I was sleeping when I heard my name being called. Each night went by and the same thing happened, God's Spirit was working on me. One of the nights my name was so loud that it woke me up. But I did not see anything. So I said, "Here I am Lord." From that night on I never heard my name again. As I was reading the Bible, I got to the Book of Revelation and read how this earth will be destroyed someday. From that point on I had made up my mind that I didn't want to be left behind. So I prayed to God. I said God forgive me of my sins I know I am a sinner I would like to be with you. Then I asked Jesus to come into my heart. That moment I prayed, I felt God's Spirit change me.

Hi. My name is Tammy. I attended church with my mother when I was a child and never really payed any attention, nor care about it. When I was old enough to decide if I wanted to go on my own, I chose the wrong direction. Just about a year ago, I had a near death experience. I think that was when I realized that I would not make it to heaven if I were to die. I also realized that I wasn't being a good mother to my children, for I was not properly teaching them about the most important thing, GOD! I found a church that I absoluetly LOVE now and I am learning about the Word of God! WOW, I can't even begin to tell you how my life has changed! I am happy now, everything has turned around for me. I know that all the blessings in my life are because I have gave my self to the Lord. My children enjoy learning about Jesus too. I feel so very blessed to have found Him and I will continue to follow our Lord. I actively try to let the people I love know how important it is to find God in their life. God bless you all. Thank the Lord Jesus for helping me become the person I was meant to be.
