Testimony One:
The best night ( the most enjoyable) for me was Friday night. After God had told me that that night we needed to take up an offering, I could feel His presents SO thick and tangible in the front I told God I wasn't going to leave the front and that He would have to move me if He didn't want me to stay.
Thank God that He let me stay! Anyways, that night in worship was so incredible! I believe God gave me a glimpse of HOW MUCH HE LOVED ME and it was so UNBELIEVABLE! The only thing i could do to worship Him was weep and say, I LOVE YOU! That's it, and the word He gave me through the whole thing was "Passion" and later He explained to me that He is SO passionately in love with me!
And for once I was able to say it back and mean it with my WHOLE heart! So anyways, Friday night was awesome, and then came Saturday morning! I am pretty sure that was the hardest morning of my life! God asked me to choose between Him or ALL the people I love, my plans to be a mommy and wife someday, and all of the promises that He has given me.
I knew that i knew that I had to choose Him, after seeing the incredible love that He has towards me, I would be a fool to turn Him down, even if that means putting all of my "other lovers" and desires down. Broken hearted, I went and laid all of that down. It felt as if someone took a knife a just stabbed me, even thought i knew that it needed to be done. But praise God that that pain didn't last forever. Now He has given me this new freedom and love for Him that i would have never known if I held on to the flesh in me. So now my prayer is that every morning i would deny myself, pick up my cross, and follow Him. Praise the Lord!

Testimony from the Trumpet of
On the first day I just didn’t know what to expect. I was going to try to be open minded. When the preaching started it was about a stage in my life I was going through. Pastor Henry preached about wanting friends and putting them in God’s place. How we pray for friends to talk to and to hang out with instead of being with God. I would pray for friends and when he told me that, I realized that I was looking in the wrong place for a friend, and that was the first day.
The second day only 3 of us showed up for the morning Bible reading; Josh, Spencer, and me. We were told to listen because God had something for us. I was like what ever, yet in my mind I wanted to believe. Finally the end came and we were brought up to the pulpit and one of the guys read to us from Mark 9. It was about the transfiguration on the mountain between Jesus and two of the disciples. Pastor Henry told us that God wanted to do something similar to us.
We went for a break and then we came back, Pastor Henry told us about the night before and what happened when they prayed during the night for several hours. He looked at me and asked me “What are you doing?” Pastor Henry addressed me directly and said that I have a call on my life to be a Pastor, so “Why am I not acting on it?” He said, “You have friends that are in drugs, alcohol and having sex and you’re not doing anything about it.”
For the remainder of the evening I just kept thinking about what he told me, my heart was really moved. Then during prayer time at the end Pastor Henry called me up while he was praying for a young man and told me that this was the kind of people that I would be preaching to when I became a Pastor. Then I went into tears because I have always had a burden for the youth and I won’t ever forget that evening and how close it moved my heart. God met me personally and made me see things around me differently.
