Pastor Jose's Testimony

For many years, I did the common thing we do looking for happiness, a place to fit in and belong. I did the sex, drugs, alcohol, and rock & roll, you name it I did it. But all of this brought me short-lived happiness. I wanted to fill that void in my life that none of the above could fill on a permanent level. Until one day I found Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior something, I thought I would never do. In the bible, Revelation 3:20 it says, “Here I am” I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me”

That door is the door to your heart, accept Him. Ask Jesus Christ to dwell in your heart and you will see the difference He will make in your life. I am not telling you it is going to be easy, but you have Him by your side 24/7, for He said “I’ll never leave you or for sake you” He is faithful.

You will have Him to lean on. I thought I was such a sinner that Jesus would not want anything to do with me and would not forgive my sins. I was dead wrong. He loved me and forgave me. Now my life is dedicated to Him, thanks to His forgiveness, mercy and grace I am serving Him.

God Bless Pastor Jose

Betsy's Testimony

Dated: September 1, 2003

I will talk about my past just a little because it is like many other people with drugs etc. I was a juvenile delinquent, and I left my home at the age of 14 years old and made my life as I thought it should be. I lived in the streets of New York, Brooklyn, Jamaica, Queens and the Bronx. I worked in bars as a barmaid and as a Go-Go Girl which is what we use to call it years ago. Today they call it something else. I knew what it was to drink anyone under the table or take drugs like there was no tomorrow. I hang out with the bad and the good. I knew what it was to take from others. I knew what it was to run from the cops and to fight them like a man would fight a man. My mother had no choice but to put a warrant for my arrest. I was on parole for three years and she was afraid that I would kill someone or someone would kill me. So the courts gave her a choice, and my mother decided to leave Brooklyn and move to Puerto Rico because she wanted her daughter home.

In the year, 2002 God told me to see a doctor. To make a long story short, I did and I found out that I had cancer. I did not know how much faith I had until I turned myself completely to the Lord. By doing so, He has completely healed me. Hallelujah Praise the Lord!!

God has blessed me with my life and a wonderful man who is the Pastor of Holy Ground Christian Fellowship and Paid in Full Motorcycle Ministry here in Buena Park, California. He has also made me wealthy by giving me a Christian family whom I love.

I have one desire in my heart and I pray that God allows me to stay alive until I see and ask a special person for his forgiveness but I have not been able to find him. If not I have peace because I know God has forgiven me.

Give God a chance to reveal Himself to you because He loves you so much that He gave his only Son for you. (John 3:16) my favorite scripture.

God Bless you,
