Stories of Faith - God at Work Today
English Translation of Testimony from Mexico:

Opening prayer: pastor
Lord I give you thanks. Your word says that you are the same today as yesterday,
the same throughout the centuries. Your compassion and love does not change
Lord.

To the people:
It is my hope that you are hearing this recording, whatever part of the world you are
in, whatever situation you find yourself in. That today we can place ourselves in His
love  - a love that restores, a love that embraces, a love that gives us a new
beginning. His love has changed the lives of millions around the world. His love does
not stop. His love is here for you today. It doesn’t matter about your condition or
social status, your education status, or your nationality.

The Lord loves you. He gave new life to the Samaritan woman. He gave hope to and
forgave the thief hung on the cross next to Jesus. He gave new birth to Nicodemus.
He gave new life and dignity to the prostitute. God’s love embraces. His love
transforms every life regardless of the condition. The Lord loves you and wants to
come in to your heart. He wants to give you new life. The Lord is speaking to you
today through your testimonies and through your lives that have been restored
through Him. His word invites you. If today you hear His voice, harden not your
hearts, because – this is the day of salvation!

TESTIMONY #1
Thanks be to God forever – all the glory and honor are His. My testimony is for the
glory of God. He chose me through His great mercy to declare what He had done in
my life. My life has been changed since His word has been on my lips and in my
heart.

The Lord is present in each and every moment of my life. I invite Him into my heart
and follow Him every day. My Father is love – my hope is in Him. I remember the day
that I bought my Bible. I wanted to know God. I already knew that He died for me and
for us. I put myself to read the Bible, but I would read it a while and then leave it
alone for a while. Years passed. My boss at my work did not share my desire to
invite my co-workers to read the Bible together. He did not know if we were going
elsewhere just “to have fun” or whether we were simply taking a break.  Later, I was
called to my boss’s office. Upon arrival, I saw great joy in his face, and he asked me
this question: “Do you believe that we are all God’s children?” I answered, “Yes.”
And then he said, “In order to be a child of God, you must first invite Jesus Christ
into your heart to be your Lord and Savior.” And then the best part came – I
received a call on my cell phone. It was my wife. She asked me if I wanted to go to
Church. I said “Let’s go!”

The Pastor asked me if I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I said, “Yes.”
At that moment, I felt God’s presence. What a blessing! The burdens of many of the
trials I had been facing were lifted. I had been having problems in my marriage and
family, and I was feeling totally unstable. But with God there is nothing that,
together, He and I cannot handle.

God was also saying to my heart, “I want you and your wife to attend the prayer
meetings.” My wife and I were having so many problems, but we attended the
meetings with God’s help. We learned that He was there, seeking us – waiting for us
– it was God.

I thank God for dying on the cross for me and for shedding His blood for the
forgiveness of my sins. Now all the honor and glory are His. I say to you, therefore, if
you hear my testimony – wherever you are – if you have any problem – give it to
God. Give Him all your burdens and cares. He loves you, will listen to you and will
deliver you. Remember that Jesus loves you and is there for you in any and every
moment of your life.

TESTIMONY #2

Right now I would like to share about the condition of my life before I knew God and
how He transformed my life and home. I grew up with a lack of parents – with a lack
of love. I met my husband in a strange way. My marriage was a common marriage.
There was nothing really that distinguished us from everyone else. Our marriage
had its peaks and valleys, but there were more valleys than peaks. And soon our
love for each other was less and less. One day God called me into His presence. I
wanted to listen to Him, just to listen to His word. But I remember that it was only
seconds from listening to His beautiful voice – my hands were raised, but almost
with no effort and with a thousand problems on my mind. But I wrapped my arms
around God’s shoulders. It was then that God entered my life, my soul, and
transformed me. He made me a promise by His word, and He said to me, “You and
your home will be saved, and He kept His promise.” Now, my husband also is saved,
and our marriage has changed. In our home, God alone reigns, love, peace,
patience, happiness, loyalty, hope, trust, communication, humility - kindness that
only God can give to a Christian marriage. Now, we form part of the family of God –
the most beautiful privilege – that no one had ever given us before.

Today, you are listening to my testimony. I invite you to come and be part of the
family of God. God loves you and simply wants a heart that is willing to love Him too.
You can do it – you are able to – God wants you to love Him. Don’t wait - now is time
to come into God’s presence and tell Him that you accept Him as your only Lord and
Savior and your only God. May God bless you.  










TESTIMONY #3

Patiently wait on the Lord. His is my Rock.  He is my hope of salvation.

I’d like to share with you a little bit about my experience with finding Jesus. Many
times we meet God within the places of our own hearts.

When I was young I was a soldier. The one important thing I lacked was a good
friend. One day when I was in danger, I met a fellow soldier. I asked him to come to
my aid. He said I should ask God. I remember those moments in which God became
present to me through the Scriptures. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ.

God had gifted me with a wonderful and beautiful wife. But eventually our marriage
began to have many valleys. We were on the verge of divorce. I was looking for
explanations. I wanted to know why – why me – why these things were happening.
Many times you can find answers to questions within your own heart. And the main
place that God speaks to us is through the heart. I found God in the Bread of Life
Community when my wife accompanied me. He is still in my heart today. I realized
that I needed Him. And I found that “answer” in my own heart. Open your eyes and
your heart and your mind – to the glory of what God has done. My marriage is
forging ahead, only lacking children. In my work, I am not allowed to share my
Christian life with others. I asked God for help with this. And God reminded me of His
word that says, “If your hand prevents you from doing right, cut it off. It is better to
enter the kingdom of God with one hand than to have both and be rejected.”

You are hearing my testimony. If you are searching for answers to questions in your
life, the only place you will find explanations and answers is through inviting God
into your heart. Open your heart and allow Jesus Christ to come in.

-------------
Lord, you continue to restore lives as you did when you walked the streets of
Jerusalem. Your eyes remember every nation, every continent, searching for hearts
to spread your Word and your love.  May everyone here today experience new life
through your son Jesus Christ.  Amen.
