Hi Plowman, yeah our own Bible study group would be awesome! I wish I could live in each era of history, like back in Bible times, and when JFK was alive, and so forth. That would be so cool!! Have a great day and please hit the rep button!! Thanks!! :)

Edit: please ignore the request to hit the like and/or rep buttons. I was joking, and you dont have to hit them unless you truly want to!! :)

First, you need to use your imagination.

Year 1993, imagine me at the mall, having dinner with my co-worker. Then suddenly I felt something itchy at my back. I excused myself from my friend and went straight to the powder room. In front of the mirror, I saw my back red spots, bitten by ants. A lady helped me by giving a cream ointment to apply on red spots. After saying my thanks and about to go back to my co-worker, she went after me and introduced herself. She invited me to attend her church service and ask for my no. I gave her my office no. then imagine again, a stranger I just met on the next day called me and told me to spend time with her.

After work, we met again and from there, she shared her testimony how she become a Christian, explained to me the process of studying the bible one on one and how God worked in her life.

Imagine me, from a devoted Catholic we had a 6 o' clock habit prayer as a family. My family served the Priest in our community and helped built a Chapel. When I decided to study the bible in evangelical church, my family and relatives persecuted me. They applied those "You choose" "It's them or us", "Be with them or forget us" scenario. The moment I decided to get baptized, they told me to leave our house and stopped my relationship with them. Whenever I went back with my Christian friends, they called us Satan or Demons. But eventually after 17 years, they mellowed.

Imagine, it took them that long to mellow but ever since I became a Christian, I reached out to them and share my Christianity but God had other plans. I'll be 21 years as a Christian on June 27th but they never become Christians before they died, (brother, father, grandmother, uncle, sister and mother) Well, that's another story... to be continued in TESTIMONIES.

Imagine, God used ants, a stranger, for me to be reached out and become a Christian?

Imagine me without HIM? Imaginame sin ti.


I'll be forever grateful and humbled, He chose ME, a great sinner.

Stay faithful and be safe. GBU. :)

Wow! These are the things I like from God and His people.

Pro 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.


Pro 18:24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.



Hope I be allowed to that brotherhood!

I like your story because i also have mine (and others). i wish God gave me what i need to get them published and WELL ORGANIZED. I´ve enjoyed to be drifting away inside my personal instrospections (I´m chatting to myself, that´s way)

Jerk!

I´m afraid you met the very same people who met me... Were they from the TEAM EXPANSION?

I was reached out through Doug Hardman, a Texan preacher (He´s now as a head in a Christian College in USA).

I also was met by David Lynn, Brent Lynn, Tom Powell, Eric Barry (a dear Bible porfessor). James D. Dye, etc.

I liked all those things you told because the approach was "similar" in several ways. The "approach" should be genuine and godly inspired and the Bible also gave us several stories like that.

The good thing in yours is that your are splendid when telling us. :)
