God personally came to me firstly in a dream and then a vision, over 20 years ago when I was living life to the max and enjoying all the entertainment industry had to offer. I was involved in all sorts and if you ever mentioned God, he was never on my radar - why would he be?....I was super happy living my life and everything that came with it: I had money, fame and a reputation. I thought I had everything..............BUT I WAS WRONG !
God revealed himself to me and showed me that my life was a lie and it was empty of the reality of his love. When I awoke from the dream I couldn't explain at the time but I knew that the room I was in was filled with an overwhelming presence of love. On the bedroom wall I was able to see visualLy, the whole planet of the earth and a Voice spoke within me and said: "if there was unconditional love on the earth it would be perfect but it isn't - you need ME ? Jesus Christ . My life was changed forever at that moment. Check out my testimony Pastors Story, for more details about my life changing experience .
david Rhule - Church pastor
As a young girl I attended Sunday school and joined the church choir when I became a teenager. I became a Sunday school teacher but was STILL unaware that you can have a living/personal relationship with Jesus.
When my husband David Newman met in London we then moved to Colchester in 1995 with just two suitcases to our name - not knowing where we were going and what would happen to us.
David would often tell me about his Christian life he would read the Bible to me and explain that to know God you first had to ask for his forgiveness. The barrier of sin stood in the way.
David prayed that Jesus would save me to receive his gift of salvation, I said the prayer to ask Jesus to forgive me and come into my life and he did , I wanted instant results nothing less than a miracle would have convinced me that God was as real as David told me. I asked God to give me a sign that he wanted me as one of his own and he did I am born again of his Holy Sprit and I live to serve him .Come and receive his love for you his love is for real I know that now to be true.
MICHEAL ATENYA - pastor & EVANGELIST
God is good. The Lord has been gracious unto me by translating me from idolatry, new age ideology, witchcraft and satanism into the Kingdom of God. Raised in a predominantly Christian household, I was seduced by the devil into darkness so gross it took the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to deliver me and bring me home again. I was deep into the Kabbalah, ceremonial magic, Buddhism, necromancy (mediumship), and many others. I was self destructing experimenting with various drugs. I was blinded to the point that I was recruiting for the devil. In all this, I was not satisfied. I was being drawn into deeper darkness until the day the Lord delivered me. I have tasted some of the powers of darkness but nothing compares to having the Power of God (The Holy Spirit) living in me. The Lord has since been growing me in grace and has brought me a long way. I am grateful to Jesus for his mercy and love. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift (Jesus Christ) unto the world.
