At the age of 34 years in great distress I knelt beside my bed and cried out to the Lord for help, to stop the suffering in my life. I asked the Lord to take my life, to use me to do something, anything with with. The Lord touched me in a most wonderful way. The Lord put it into my heart to buy a Bible, as I started to read it, the words were so alive to me. It showed me what a sinner I was and that Jesus had died on the cross for my sins. It showed me God's love for me. I have been saved for 23 years. I now serve the Lord in telling others of the love of God for them and how they can know by faith, in the Lord Jesus that their sins can be forgiven.
