Testimonies

Att: Sister Gwen Shorter,

I would like to thank you for taking the time and accepting the responsibility to manage this prayer line. It has been a blessing for my wife and myself over the last several weeks that we have been listening and participating on the calls. I was able to listen to Jeff Wehr give his presentation on the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation that is just wonderful. Brother Wehr has such a way of articulating prophecy that makes it so simple and easy to understand like no other.

The prayer request and testomonial tug at our heart as we hear the needs of our church members for themselves and their families. It really made me realize again and again we preceive our problems to be insurmountable until we listen to others. God is such a good, loving and gracious God. Again, I want to thank you for all you are doing. I pray God will continue to bless and strengthen you in the work you are doing.

God Bless,

Rupert & Marilyn Salmon, Washington

I have been tremendously blessed by the messages on the Prayer Line esp. the ones on spiritualism. I have been inspired, moved and blessed and sharing it with everyone I meet. I am especially thankful to hear the calls later on in the day on the call back & listen number. Thank God for my new prayer family. It is such an encouragement.

The prayer line has opened my mind and increased my knowledge especially in health! Dr. Williams presentations has really blessed my soul. Thank God for the recorded conference calls – so I can listen later when I miss them. I thank God for allowing the Women’s Ministry to bring this ministry to us, which has been such a rich blessing.

“I have found the prayer line to be a true blessing in my life. Whenever time allows, it is comforting to know I can call in to the prayer line, hear an uplifting message and receive a blessing.”

Hello,

I am Sister Melba G. and I would like to share my testimony with you all. Sis. Gwen Shorter had asked me to send one and I was not sure as what I wanted say. I have been blessed tremendously with the prayer line and I am excited to share any information about the California Connection Women ministry prayer line with anyone I meet in my daily walk.

The Lord has been definitely pruning me for his vineyard. I have been reluctant, but I am coming along day by day and only because of his grace and mercy. As of December 2009 of last year I became a widow. So I have really learned to cling to God’s promises in searching out and retaining the widows promises in his Word and believe me they have seen me through many trials in the last several months. The faith walk is truly amazing – because our sweet Jesus is always on time to give you comfort. I am looking forward to addressing the widows needs in my local church – although this prayer line ministry definitely addresses many needs and in a marvelous way.

I am asking the Lord to daily guide me and give me holy boldness with his word in sharing with others. So please continue to pray for me. And yes, as he states in his word – to make a way for us to escape and if we will only hold on and keep the faith.

Below I have added some comments from a ministry that I get monthly letters of encouragement and would like to share it with everyone. “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18

Do you have a vision of a finished work? If there is ever to be a finished work, at some point in time there must be a finished work of grace in your home and in your church and in sister churches throughout the world. Many Adventists have lost their vision of a finished work. According to the text just quoted, they will perish because they will never arrive at a spiritual destination for which they are not aiming, planning and working. The work of grace does not accomplish your salvation without your cooperation (See Phil. 2: 12, 13.) We are living in the harvestime, the future which Ellen White saw in vision when “the true time of trial, of test, or proving… God has a people, and they will be a tried people, but the people will be humble. They are under the guidance of the Holy one in thought, in word, in deed.” lbid.

May the Lord bless and keep you all,

Sis. Melba G., Texas

My name is Christine and I have been listening in to your daily conference calls on-and-off for about a year now. Unfortunately, due to my schedule not being very flexible, I’m only able to listen in live on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings. However, I am so thankful that I am able to call in at a later time and listen to all pre-recorded messages. I am also thankful to whomever has taken the time to make the website and carefully list all messages on a day-to-day basis.

I truly want to tell you that the Lord is blessing in ways which you don’t know and I want to encourage you to keep up what you are doing. Just remember though, Satan is not happy, therefore, don’t be surprised if conference officials start coming down on you. And if they already have, just know it’s because you are doing a great work for the Lord and many people are coming to “a knowledge of the truth”.

Having said all that, I wanted to share how blessed I have been by the messages of Jim Hornung, Dr. Williams, Bill Hughes, Dave Westbrook, Ron Neifert, Gordon, Buster, Amy, Gwyn and so many others. It’s truly like going to different churches that have special guest speakers without having to drive an hour or two to go listen to them.

By the way, I was wondering if you could get James Luke from nhtlh.com to be another speaker of the Medical Missionary work(he is very balanced) as well as David Gates for “current events’ and possibly Jan Marcussen?

God Bless to all moderators and speakers. May the peace of Jesus be with you all.

Christine, California
