IMPACT STORIES AND TESTIMONIES
“I accepted Jesus into my heart today. My grandfather and uncle preached and played in the band at church. I was tremendously inspired at worship today because not only do I love music, I loved each of the songs we sang, and I was excited to join in o the congas. I am thankful for this time and moment in my life to participate in something so special, and it means a lot. I am inspired to start writing music again, but this time, Gospel music.” Johnny
“God has always been in my home but always forced out until recently when I lost my mother and sister and the health problems of my grandparents. I have found God and let Him in! I accepted Jesus into my heart today. I felt a chain break in my heart, and my shoulders are lighter. I still struggle with “why,” but I believe I am loved and forgiven. I have found acceptance! I have started waking up and expressing gratitude even in sad times. God has used my trials to draw me closer to Him, and I am grateful.” Gianna
“This is the first church, and my fifth and only time I have ever attended any church. I am very grateful for Dr. Bill and everyone who has come to help on his team. It has been an uplifting and positive part of my journey here. Thank you!” Gage
“Today was a fresh reassurance that I needed as I was having a little doubt about my purpose in my life and if I was in the right place or if God still had His hand on me. I grew up in church and know He will never leave me. It is I who left Him. But today reminded me that I will leave the 99 for just one, and I am that one. Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.” Frankie
This service brought me back to the center again. It is why I couldn’t continue living how I was and how powerful and merciful Papa is. He has never let me down, and He always answers my prayers. I prayed the prayer of salvation, and I am truly grateful.” Jimmy
“God is so good. I accepted Jesus into my heart. Thank you so much for coming here today. I really needed it.” Matt
“Today’s service touched my heart deeply. The powerful emotions came flooding out in my tears – things I have buried deep within me because it hurts to face all I have done. I now feel hopeful again and safe in this special place today. Thank you, Dr. Bill.” Marci
“I am thankful for the Lord, a second chance, a thousandth chance to claim Him as my Father. I gave my heart to Christ today. I left Him, walked away, and even doubted him as my Father, yet here He is today, still creating and performing miracles in my life – three beautiful and amazing healthy children, sobriety, a good man, and amazing healthy friends. The Lord does wonders.” Mary
