Testimonials

I have been a member of New Life Christian Ministries since 2001. As a child, I attended church in Waco, Texas, and my parents would take me several days a week. As I grew older, I figured I went to church enough as a child and started to drift away. I later went on to the Navy, traveled the world, and eventually settled in Richmond, VA. I met my friend, Rodriek Brown, in Richmond. Back then, we drank, did drugs, basically everything sinners do. Brown was my first friend in Virginia, but we had a misunderstanding and eventually lost contact. Two years later, I came across Brown, and he asked me to take him to the cleaners. On the car ride there, Brown told me about his church and the goodness of God. I was not trying to hear anything he said and just wanted to drop him off at the cleaners, so I did. 

Months later, I saw him again, and he was different. It was an aura around him as he continued to tell me about Jesus. Brown asked me to come to this church, New Life, and I did. I have been here since. 

I eventually married my wife, who joined the church with my three girls. I was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. First, I became a Deacon, then a minister, and now I am an ordained Elder. Since I rededicated myself to the Lord, I am healed and blessed. I became a homeowner, own a business, and most importantly, am a child of God, and his spirit dwelleth within me. Joining New Life has taught me so much, and it let me know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. There is a heaven and a hell, and Jesus is still in the miracle-working business. Amen!
