[E]xperience

I became a Christian when I was a kid but lost my way when I became an adult. I was going through a rough abusive marriage and ask God of help get out of this and He spoke to me. I starting going back to church and went to the alter and cried out and got baptize that same day. Ever since I gave myself to the Lord, and my life has change tremendously for the been even if life throw me some curb balls I know who to call on and trust.

I served as a Sunday School Secretary and as a Deaconess at Salvation Temple Church. I taught me how to pray and read and study my word. My ex-husband was the Pastor’s Armor Bearer and I got to travel with the Bishop and first lady to different events and how to be a powerful speaker and love God’s people.

The church is located in Binghamton, NY , and I cooked and serve and deliver food to the elderly or to local resident in the area. I became their secretary for the church and keeping file and records in order.

I was under a lot of different leaders and I feel in my heart that I learned a lot from Salvation Temple Church and I do owe my good teaching from them. Now I am and Elder of my own church which is call, Abide in the Truth Ministries, Inc.

Like I said earlier that I learned so much from Salvation Temple Church. I learned to pray, study and read my word. How to lead and be led by some powerful people of God.

I come to realize that I am a good listener and that help me to do things that I normally would not do and it brought me out of my shell.

i was told to tell my experience I had at the big corporate conference and I seen how God used me and how he came down in me and spoke to His people. After all that I had people come up to me and told me that I was preaching and the Bishop had tears and his eyes because he seen the glory of God on me.

The first experience that I had was that I want to jump in front of a fast moving car to end my life but it did not happen.

My dream of a happy marriage and thinking that I had one cause me to self doubt myself with everything.

When I was a twelve years old I was raped and everybody blame me for this and it was by a grown man.
