My Testimony
Lord, Where do I even begin? I'm originally from Long Beach California, and this is a little about me. From birth God has had his hands on me. My mother became sick at the age of 13 with miningitis and was left mentally disabled. When she became pregnant with me no one had any clue. Everyone just thought she was gaining weight. One evening she, I assume, felt the need to relieve herself and out I came, yes in the toilet. I can only imagine the surprise everyone got that night. Because of my mother's disability, legal gaurdianship was given to my Aunt and Uncle whom I came to know as my parents. From the age of 7 to the age of 12 I was molested by my father. I would run away from home and sleep on benches until the police would bring me back home. Because I would run away I was locked into my room with no clothes and no furniture. There were times when I would get into trouble and be placed into the garage until I "learned a lesson" and there were other times when my brother and my lil sis would pass food to me under the door. I would get into trouble all the time in school and in fairness to my mother, she just thought I was a bad kid and didn't know what to do with me. Not saying those methods were good methods of discipline by any means. After I was taken out of my home (because in everyone's eyes I was just a bad kid) I was placed into foster care and group homes. When I was 13 i was scheduled to return home. I couldnt go back to what I was living through so I told the truth to my house Parent who became like a surrogate mother to me. In that year my life went through so much. My foster mother Natalie Jones was taken out of that home and sent to another. In time we lost all contact. I never felt so alone. I was bounced from home to home. I finally ended up in Perris California. At 14 I ran away from the group home and it was at that time that I joined a gang. They became my family and I wasnt alone anymore. I started selling weed and then Cocaine. I was protected and had a family. Almost 15, I had my first apt. I hired crack heads to enroll me into school and the schools either didn't care or just didn't notice because everytime there was a school meeting I had different parents there. Some black, some white and some Mexican. LOL I'm Mexican. I also found at the age of 15 three other things. Alcohol, girls and Juvi. Because I had so much anger and hurt in me I got into so may fights. I found that when I drank I no longer had fear and was able to say whatever i wanted. I also knew that never again would any man ever hurt me. But when you combine alcohol and emotion, violence tends to come about as well. It didn't matter to me who you were. If you were a teacher, friend, girlfriend or even the police I had no problem hitting you in the mouth if I felt it. I found myself in and out of Juvi and looking back it amazes me that never did anyone ever ask where my parents were. Believe it or not I did always have a huge passion for the homeless and would feed them and give money and clothes to them. I got made fun of for that from my "homies". But I just couldnt help myself. I eventualy graduated from High school and left calif with blessing from my "family". I had met a girl in school and after we graduated we moved to Milan Missouri. I had never dealt with any kind of racism at all but man, it was all that you could imagine. For some reason, everyone thought I was black and i would laugh at them when they would say something ignorant. I started making fun of them and how ignorant they were. They didnt know what a hispanic male was! lol. So of course I fought all the time. I drank all the time too. Eventually I lost that girl and my son. After I lost her I was stuck in a state where I didn't know anyone. So I did what I knew. I started selling weed and then Meth and kept right on drinking. I got into fights with skin heads and got shot in the arm and stabbed in the chest and arm. I was so lost. But even through all that I still had a caring spirit for others. I tried to help everyone I could with whatever. The Devil really had me but Jesus came and grabbed me. I was invited to church by someone I had actually sold drugs to and for whatever reason I went with her. As soon as I walked in I could feel the presence of God. (I didnt know that at the time) I can remember hearing loud screams as I cried and didn't even realize I was crying. I remember the screams scared me because no one was screaming. I remember leaving church and shaking Paster Bart Hadaways' hand and him looking right into my eyes saying to me "when you're ready I'm here for you" and him holding my hand staring right into my eyes. Well little did I know that I would need him because I found myself homeless. The most amazing thing to me was thst the church opened thier arms and homes to me. God had sent Himself through Pastor Bart and my Brother and Sister in Christ- Steve and Joy Orwig. I still carry the things they taught me in my life today. But even though again God had His hands on me, He knew it wasn't my time yet. I changed my life for a while but then for whatever reason started partying and getting with this girl or that girl. I eventualy left MO and went to Terre Haute Indiana where I had found my Foster Mother Natalie Jones. I got there and man my life was on a slow roll to hell. I drank even more and bounced from relationship to relationship. I was in and out of Jail so much that when I would walk down the street the police would say hello to me by name thats how much contact they had with me. Even though I had known God I never gave anything to him. So I was still filled with anger and rage. And that anger and rage would fall upon anyone in my life. I could be your bestfriend or worst enemy. If I was someone's boyfriend I would sabotage that relationship through my anger and rage. I was so insecure. You see what I was looking for wasnt ever what I was finding because I wasnt looking with the eyes of Christ I was looking with my own eyes. While I was in Jail one time I started going to church services and there I met Brother Bob and Sister Tina. We became really close and when I got out they gave me a place to live with them. I started going to Church with them at Kings Highway Tabernacle in Terre Haute Indiana. ( Now Kings Highway Family Worship Center )There again the church accepted me and I felt that love that I had never known again. I lived with them and their family for a little while and eventually got my own place.I got a Job at a tv station that led to a job at a Mortgage Company. The devil was setting me up and I didnt even know it. Again God knew it wasnt my time yet. I started making A LOT of money. I bought 2 houses in less than a year. Bought 2 cars and of course now that I was making all this money I was something, so I had to let everyone know and back in the bars I went. For a year and a half I did nothing but party and fly here and there. But I guess I figured out you couldnt be someone sitting in jail and made sure I didnt do anything to go to jail. I eventuly started thinking, "if I can make all this money here in little ole Terre Haute Indiana how much more could I make in a larger market where the houses were worth three times more than here?" So I sent my resumes' out and dont you know I got a Job offer in none other than Missouri. So I moved to St Louis and now I was really someone. I had a beautiful home, three cars, money in the bank, no kids and single. Life was good!! Or so I thought. My first weekend there... Yep got into a fight and went to jail. 2 months later I left a mortgage convention, went to a club, met a girl, was asked to dance, I danced then got hit in the back of my head and I did what I trained myself to do. I turned around got to fighting, and he ran out the door I ran after him, caught him, hurt him extremly bad and went to jail. This happened within 3 months of arriving in St louis. I was facing 65 years. I eventually recieved 5 years for the crime and off to prison I went. I spent three years in Missouri Dept. of Corrections. In that three years I did not go to church. Not because I was mad at God because I had no one to blame but me. It was because i didnt want to face Him. I actually didn't let anyone know I was in prison. While in prison I helped people get their GED and once in a while I would get into dicussions about God. While in prison I got into a fight and was stabbed yet again, this time in my back. When it says you will reap what you sow it means in all you do. all I got out of prison was that this wasnt going to beat me. I was sent to a halfway house because I had no family and I lost everything I had. On my way to the Halfway house I stopped at a gas station and begged for a job and got it. When I got to the halfway house they said I had to get a job. I said I already had one and when I told them where they didnt believe me because this man has never hired anyone from the Reality House In Colombia Mo. But he hired me. (yep, again God had His hand on me) within 2 weeks I got an apt. I bought some suits from the goodwill and sent my resume out and ended up in Washington Mo. Again God knew I wasnt ready just yet, almost, but not yet. I had to give myself some more misery. I moved to Washington Mo with a girl I had met in Columbia. She was from Wash Mo. We were having a baby so it made sense. I was back in the Mortgage business making good money again. I bought a house and was having the baby. Little did I know that I had gotten someone else pregnant in Columbia. Long story short, i had two women pregnant at the same time. Lord was that HELL!! My daughter was born first in columbia and then 3 months later came my son in Washington. I was making good money, so I bought a new home. i went to court over my daughetr and eventualy got sole custody of her. My girlfriend and I broke up because we both knew we were not right for each other. But before that could happen, we got pregnant again. We still felt it best to end the relationship and off again I was. I was out every chance I could. I hired a nanny for my daughter just for that reason. I again bounced from relationship to relationship. Eventually I decided I needed to sell my house because it was way too much for just my daughter and I. I sold my house and looked for an apt. I found two that I really liked. They were in the same complex. One was at the end of the road and it was larger and the second was on the top of the hill and was smaller. the larger one would be ready in a couple weeks but the smaller one was available then. I had to get a place soon because my house was scheduled to close. So in a haste, i took the smaller one. Little did I know thats what Gods plan was all along. My next door neighbor was a muslim. He sold drugs and was a gang member and can you believe this? he lived in Terre haute Indiana the same time I did but we didnt know each other. however, his family knew my Foster Mothers family. We got pretty close during that time. One day he made a comment that I had a calling on my life, which I acknowleged but also let him know he did as well. Neither of us could see what was about to happen. A few weeks later after a night of partying, I stumbled to my door and saw Kenny and his wife and kids all dressed up. I asked them where they were going and they said church. Kennys wife had a Christian background but wasnt going to church for a while either. When they got back I asked them how church was. The change in them was evident. I could see the love that I once knew all over them. The next Saturday they asked me if I wanted to go and I said, "Sure, I'll check it out." I went, and its been me and God ever since. Ive had some set backs for sure but nothing like I did before. We started our Minister training and that was going good. But see, the Devil knew that God had a plan and that plan was powerful. Souls would be won through Christ in us. We were attacked almost instantly together. Kenny only being 26 had a stroke and his whole left side was paralyzed. I stopped breathing and ended up being life flighted from the local hospital to a trauma hospital in st louis. Kenny was in one Hospital and I was in another. The only thing I kept thinking of was the word GOD had given me so many years back. "He who seeks me at midnight dies at 1130." I was scared. I was diagnosed with a lung disease and began Chemo. For almost 6 months I fought that cancer and God again had his hands on me. I'm now healed by the blood of Christ Jesus. Kenny has made a full recovery as well. You see, we no longer serve the devil and we never belonged to him. We were always Gods Children. Only He is in control of all things and there are no accidents with Christ. Saved by Grace was givin to use on the way back from praying with the homeless in St Louis. This ministry is ordained by Christ. Rev Kenny nor I have control of this ministry. We are servants for Christ. It is the mission of Christ to bring those that are living or have lived, a life such as ours. Its by the Grace of God that both of us have lived to serve God. If you know of a church that is in need of revival or has many young people or just needs to revive the church by hearing our stories, tell your Pastor, Minister,or Church Leader to email us. We have a message not only based on our life but on what the word says. If you need prayer message us that. The God we serve is the great I AM not the GREAT I WAS!!! Nothing is too big for Him even if its too big for us. Ephesians chapter 2 verses 4&5: But because of His great love for us God, who is rich with Mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by GRACE you are alive!!!

So Like I said tonight I had such an awsome testimony today and that I would share it with you all so here it goes. Bare with me because I tend to get a little excited when i write.

First the back ground... I and a friend Rev Kenny Reed heard the Lord speak to us very clearly to go Minister, love and feed the Homeless in St louis. And this is how Saved By Grace Ministries came to be. I remember when Kenny and I both got to the city and met with Rev Rice of New Life Shelter how scared I… Continue

I am serving as a Pastor here in Gojra city and surrounding village areas from last 8 years. From last 2 years we are running an awesome project called Bible village reader. Under this project we are training young Christian boys and girls as future leaders of Christian community. We are training them how to read URDU Bible Clear and laud to their families and communities. Till now we have 35 young students those are under training. We are printing Bible tracts and distributing them to the lost people and distributing Free Urdu Bibles to the deserving people those have none. You will be surprised to know that here in our areas even believers don't have bible copies at their homes to study; they have to wait till Sunday to hear the word of God. So our Church tries our best to bless these deserving people with the Bible copies. We are trying to reach out as many souls we can with the word of God. Please always remember us in your prayers. We will appreciate your Love and prayers.I really lke your wonderfull work that you are doing i want to work with you i can do translation englsih to urdu and punjabi so that herein paksitan chrsitian people may read them and grow in their faith. it will be a wonderfull blessing for all of us. i am looking forward for you kind response, GBU
Your in Christ,
