My initial reason for calling into and participating on The Southern California Connection Prayer Line Ministry was because my friend, Gwen Shorter, invited me. She was very excited about it, so, wanting to support her, I called in. But like the men of Samaria told the woman, “Now we believe, not because of thy saying:. . .”, I have found a blessing in listening to the Biblically inspiring messages, the powerful testimonies, and the prayers that reach toward the throne of grace. Every time I listen in, its like being at the old-fashioned Camp Meetings of my youth, worshiping with the saints of the Most High.

Please do make this prayer line a part of your daily devotion as you study the Word of God. You can only be blessed. In this short testimony I can promise you, the half has not been told. Maranatha!

The prayer line has been the greatest blessing in my life since my husband passed away in 2009. What I really miss is the deep Bible studies Bud & I had every day. He was a deep thinker when it came to God’s Word & the Spirit of Prophecy. The prayer line has helped to fill that void in my life. I’ve met old friends on the line & made new friends, too. Having like believers to pray with you & to help encourage you is a special gift from the Lord. The speakers have shared important messages with us that keep us focused on our goal of heaven. I am looking forward to the Special Resurrection & to meeting all of you on this prayer line. Stay focused on Jesus.

I have been blessed since Sis Pat Charles invited to listen on the prayer line. I am very inspired with the different speakers especially those pertaining to the end of time. I keep in my prayers always the leaders, Sis. Shorter, and all the speakers. I ask God to help me to listen and understand, and invite others to tune in. May the Lord Bless Us and Keep us faithful. Amen.

Since joining the Central Filipino Prayer Line, it has been so encouraging. I was in a back-slidden condition and had stopped going to church. The church I had joined changed and just wasn’t the same church. The prayer line helped my sort things out. It showed me that there are still people wanting that old-time religion – the way things used to be in the SDA Church.

The prayer line is so inspiring and enlightening. I have contacted all my friends and relatives. Sometimes I have 2 phones going at the same time to hook up my friends to the prayer line. These messages are good for the soul. Before the calls, I get on the phone and call people to remind them to get on the line. So many out there are struggling and this prayer line just brings joy to your heart. It even beats Oprah Winfrey and the talk shows!

By the way I’m going back to church and getting stronger day by day and its helping me to grow in my spiritual relationship with Christ. Its one thing to be religious, but we must be spiritual. This ministry is a joy – its just a joy!
