As a young boy growing up in a dysfunctional home, Jim Lines knew nothing about Jesus. It wasn’t until he met a loving, middle-aged couple, who were compassionate enough to take him under their wings and take him to church, that Jim truly understood the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Today, Jim shares with us his testimony and invites us to ask ourselves how Christ’s love compels us to live intentionally in pursuit of Him.

I Have Decided | How an Apple Juice Run Led to an Encounter with Jesus with Larry Richardson
October 2, 2023
Larry Richardson grew up knowing very little about a personal relationship with Jesus. While he attended Catholic Mass regularly, went through catechism, and even served as an altar boy, he believed that his baptism as a baby was his ticket to heaven. But, as an adult, Larry wrestled with questions like, “Is God real?” “Who is He?” and, “Do heaven and hell really exist?” And, while God met him in his questioning in an unexpected way, it wasn’t until later in life that he began to truly grow in his pursuit of life in Christ.

I Have Decided | From the Citrus Groves of Florida to the War Zones of Angola with Lois Zigrang
September 18, 2023
Growing up in an affluent family in New Jersey, Lois knew a world where importance and success were found in flashy things that money could buy. But, even though her parents owned the biggest house and the best car in town, Lois knew those things didn’t lead to happiness. When Lois was a teenager, she witnessed her mother become radically transformed by Jesus, and she wanted that same joy! After making the decision to follow Christ, Lois went to study at a Christian college, where she met her husband, Walt. It wasn’t long before they sensed God calling them to the mission field, and eventually they relocated to the African country of Angola. Through most of their time in Angola, Lois and Walt lived in a war zone. And, though the days were often difficult, Lois ultimately learned that God is faithful. Check out Lois’ memoir, “Who Me? Following God’s Missionary Call to the War Zones of Communist Angola,” here: https://a.co/d/iWKZmJz Do you want to publicly celebrate the work that God is doing in your life?
