Prayer for Gene Bass - (June 25, 2008)
On June 17th we sent a prayer request for Gene Bass who suffered with a Brain Tumor. Gene was operated on June 18 and the doctors said it would be the tumor was revealed the surgeons said the about 4 to 5 hours long operation. After opening Gene's skull and the tumor was revealed, the surgeons said the tumor appeared to fall out into their hands. The surgery lasted about one hour, Gene was in the ICU, and the following day he was place in a private room with all tubes removed. Gene suffered no ill effects. All faculties were normal. He will need to have x-ray treatment. He now is at home and living as normal life as can be. Praise the Lord for this miracle . Thank you for the prayers. Gene also sends his thanks to everyone..

Anwer To Your Prayers for Healing - (June 18, 2008)
I want to thank you so much for your prayers in behalf of Rusell Tope. I requested prayer for him a few days ago. He has been improving every day from a medical condition, which he wasn’t expected to live, and he is also showing positive emotional changes. The Lord intervened also to remove the obstacles so he could be taking to a hospital where they could give him much better medical care with very good specialists on his condition. His family is very hopeful about his recovery now and is also very thankful for the prayers offered for him. I praise the Lord for his power, his mercy, and for people like you who are moving the hand that moves the world through your prayers! Chely Dicken

New Job - (June 16, 2008)
Last month I requested prayer from the prayer team and many loving friends, so that God would provide me a new job. My employer was pressuring me to work on the Sabbath, even though when I was hired 7 years ago they had assured me they could work around it. An employee that I supervised had a second job on the weekends. When she threatened to quit if she had to work on the May 31st Sabbath, my boss forced me to choose between scheduling her or myself on that day. I was distraught, because I need the job! However, I told my boss my conscience would not allow me to schedule myself. She proceeded to tell me that I had no choice and that she was very upset with the way I had handled the situation. I told her I understood her position and I was not angry. I told her I cared about her; I had known her for 14 years. Although I was distressed on the inside, I said nothing more. We stepped into the main office where she checked the mail. She handed me a small red envelope, which appeared to be a card-addressed to my attention. I opened it and it was a thank you card from someone else who works in my field-thanking me (apologetically) for something that I had done for her six months prior! The Holy Spirit told me to keep the card. The next week I contacted this woman and went to see her, to thank her for the card-it had lifted my spirits. We talked for a while, she told me she loved her job and she gave me her bosses’ phone number, suggesting I call her. I waited several days to call. I called her on a Thursday-she said she had no openings, but would like me to send her a resume. She received the resume on Monday of the next week. She had received a notice from one of her managers on Friday, the day after I had spoken to her. I interviewed on the phone on Tuesday, in person on Thursday-she processed my information on Friday-checking my references. It is Monday Morning-today I have to pass the drug test-then the job is mine at the salary I need. I will be turning my notice in today-Thank you Jesus and thank you all for your prayers! God is good!

Help I Did Not See! - (June 12, 2008)
God has been truly good to me, out of the darkness; He opened doors for me that only He could. I have almost finished university and my son is in second year at Medical School, and a daughter, while I now visit my mother every other weekend end, supported from very small earnings! I sometimes wonder how it all happens. I have also started paying my tithes although sometimes I find that it sometimes become a real struggle. Nevertheless, I remember God's promises and I do my part to the extent that I find I am encouraging my friends to do the same. Recently I got an unexpected promotion at work although I do not yet know what the salary as I am not yet told what the compensation package is. However, I trust that God will cause my boss to be fair when it comes to the compensation & work.

New Perceptions - Dwight Nelson - (June 8, 2008)
Just last week our homeowners' association and local area began receiving 3ABN with our cable company, after years of prayer and contact. I had called you requesting New Perceptions as I used to watch it weekly on Sky Angel. This morning (Sunday 11 Eastern) I watched and sobbed. Three years of weekly Bible study with neighbors using your DVD's, and now they can watch you themselves, and especially Dwight Nelson on Sunday mornings. I am so very, very grateful to Jesus, and you. Please don't delete this message, but forward on to the other pastors and staff. As a prayer warrior I say Praise the Lord!!

Thank You - (May 22, 2008)
Dear 3ABN staff, I would like to thank you for praying for me. I was able to pass the Toel IBT exam. It is only through God's mercy that I passed it. Thank you also for praying for healing for a VIP patient. She is better now but please continue to pray that she will stay pain free. I bring back all the praise and glory to our Lord.

Answered Prayer - (May 10, 2008)
About two months ago, I asked for your prayers for my daughter Dee, who I believe was in a relationship not sanctioned by God. Very manipulative and painful for her and us as a family as we watched her suffer. Well, God is indeed a JUST GOD. As we all prayed earnestly for her deliverance the Lord intervened and ended it three weeks ago. It was the most peaceful separation I have ever seen. She is completing her post graduate in teaching studies in June and said, mum, "I am not ready for a boyfriend, please pray that I will be closer drawn to Jesus.” Please continue to pray for her and us as a family and the young people around the world.

Miracle in My Life - (May 7, 2008)
I am a prayer warrior and have been for some days now but already I can see the changes that are happening in my life! God gave me a family, the most beautiful that one can hope for, you, pastors and staff of the 3ABN and you Sisters and Brothers warriors and many others with whom I hade already had the honor of being in touch. I am not alone anymore! I can serve the Lord! I can finally give all my love to many and receive from them a hundred times more! Praise Jesus for away went my fears; off went my solitude and despair! What a bless 3ABN has been to me! I will never stop to thank Jesus and you all for what you have given to me! A special thanks, I have to make to Pastor Hal and all the prayer warriors that have written to me and give me a loving welcome that touched my heart! And I found too a new friend and sister in Christ, a woman of my same age, very sweet that had made a request prayer, her name is Down and I want to tank her to for her kindness hoping to see her soon here in Egypt where I am been leaving from a long time now. Seen that our prayers are being heard is a blessing and an incommensurable joy! Praise to the Lord! God bless you all! Lucia

Set Free - (April 26, 2008)
I began my search for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit several years ago after hearing a sermon by Ken Cox on "Why people do not receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit" This whetted my appetite for a 2-year search. I did not search Sister White's books, as I had never heard our church speak of it. Whenever I spoke to anyone in the church about it they always stated that you receive it at water baptism. Through my study, I learned that this was not always the case. At that time, my life was filled with anger about the past and I struggled with an eating disorder undiagnosed of Binge Eating Disorder. As a dietitetian this was very difficult for me as I did not look the part of a dietitian. It also grieved my spirit, as I knew I was not glorifying my Jesus by my eating habits. I continued my search for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. One night Clarence, my husband, was doing his favorite hobby of channel surfing when he came across Dennis Smith on 3ABN and I heard him talk about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I immediately told him to stop and we listened. We purchased his tapes from you and took this message to our Sabbath School group and we began a 3-year study of all Pastor Dennis's books on this subject. We continued to pray for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit daily. I still struggled with emotional eating and an addiction to the TV. I noticed that God had cleaned up the majority of my small sins, but these two addictions remained. I did not understand how if I asked for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit then I should receive all the power within me that God used to raise Jesus from the dead, then why would I still have these two addictions. We went to Peru last year on a mission trip and Tracy Smith a nurse from Apopka, Florida introduced me to Pastor Nick Zampir from the Winter Springs SDA Church in Longwood through his website Tap into God's Power. We began to listen to his CD's and study his booklet "Tap into God's Power" A few weeks ago I took my Sabbath School group to experience Nick Zamfir's church in Longwood, Florida. He teaches about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and anoints people to receive Him. We were going down to be anointed by him. One of our groups Anita had been anointed by Tracy in September asking only for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, she was given this and God healed her back, which had been troubling her for over 10 years. She had a slipped disk in her back, which was totally healed. Today she joined our church by profession of faith. So anyways, I took the rest of my group up to the Orlando area to experience the same thing. I asked to be anointed to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. There were times I felt like I had it, experiences I wrote about in "God the Lighthouse and the People,” but there were times I did not think I had the Holy Spirit living inside of me. When I went, Satan did everything he could to prevent me from receiving the anointing because he knew that once I knew the power that was in me, his reign over me would be history. Pastor Nick walked over 70 people through this experience and all received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. One thing he spoke about was something I totally took to heart. He stated that if you had forgiven someone and Satan kept bringing up the hurts to you that you could ask God and He would remove those old tapes. I asked God to remove the old tapes that made me run to food instead of Him. He was true to His word. I have been set free from something I have struggled with for over 40 years. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I was so blessed by Shelly's book Exalting His Word. I have shared the concept with my son who struggles from a spirit of fear. Blessings to you on 3 ABN. Keep up the good work. Donna Dunbar R.D.,L.D.

God Has Provided My Needs and More - (April 21, 2008)
God expects us to bring all our needs before him. He knows before we even know ourselves what we need, and he already has a plan on how to provide that need. I was able to get a new mini SUV in 2006 and a new home in 2007 after 5 years of unemployment. I just kept asking and in the end, he provided. Now, I need to go back to work so I can build my gardens to provide good food for myself and those in need. I have a job waiting for me in Latin America with Oracle. I just need to pass the job interview. I have worked for them in the past, so they do have a record of my work. Perhaps God has another job in mind, but I need to start working by Friday 25 April 2008. I also tithe faithfully what God gives me and so many missionaries depend on the flow for the work in the field. I have heard so many stories how God has used the tithe that I gladly returned. He is providing, few people can buy a home with only 4 months of income. My home is full of light, a beautiful view of the mountains of Panama, with granite counter tops and wood floors. Hot water anytime I want it. What more could you ask?

Victory - (April 19, 2008)
I have been suffering from a low self-esteem for many years now. I would even be afraid to share my faith with someone else but I would like to thank God for helping me to overcome this period of slump. I am not fully recovered but I believe that since God has brought me thus far, He will take me to the very end.

Lazarus Miracle of Today of My Daughter!!! - (March 26, 2008)
My daughter resides in another state and is a grown adult with two children. My daughter was doing some shopping, and all of a sudden, she passed out in the store & stopped breathing. An individual ran and assisted her with CPR, until an ambulance arrived. We never found out who that person was. I believe it was definitely an angel! My daughter was put on life-support in ICU, for three days! I called 3ABN Pastoral Dept. and let this situation be presented to our heavenly king; to him (Jesus) our gracious lord and redeemer...taking these petitions to holy Jehovah ...My daughter was taken off the man-made life-support systems and touched by The True LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM! My daughter has been given another chance, as I tell her. Her life has been restored! As Christ Jesus shared with Lazarus’s physical restoration, it is done for His Father’s GLORY! AMEN...AMEN...What a miraculous sign and testimony for so many--even for all the hospital staff, the rescue and ambulance soldiers, the police, etc. I have the privilege and honor to share this miracle with so many! I have my daughter! I have CHRIST JESUS as THE LIVING LORD: of my heart, my mind, my body and my soul...AMEN.

No More Demon Attacks - (March 9, 2008)
About a month ago, I requested special prayer because I was being harassed by demonic forces during my sleep. Well, the Lord has truly delivered me and for that I'm very grateful. So I wish to thank you for your prayers.

Praise Report - (March 5, 2008)
Hello, I applied to be a prayer warrior very recently.

Thank You Lord to do even something small for You Jesus is such a blessing. Thank you Lord.

God Has Not Left Me. - (February 16, 2008)
Today I had a severe attack of fear and hopeless terror, I suffer from a mild personality disorder, caused by past abuse and circumstance, and I have been rejected from churches and left with no self-esteem or anything. God has been so wonderful to me. I was not born into the sda church, I am waiting to be baptized and become a member. I have to wait, I attended the church today, all the children were being vested as pathfinders--I had faced my darkest demons, and ha given them to God. The hardest thing has been to forgive myself. I realized that I had sinned and I repented. I try not to go back. Today I suddenly felt deep despair and terror; I felt so unworthy and felt that I could never belong there or anywhere else--I felt dirty and unclean. I had told the prayer line I was planning to commit suicide. I had done it once before and failed. I didn’t want to go there again, because the pain is unbearable. The man prayed and it helped make all this stuff go away. God loves me too, Jesus died for me too, I praise my GOD and I am kept by His beautiful Grace only, He is my Abba too. If the entire world rejects me, so be it, I cling to Jesus and humbly thank Him. LORD I’m nothing without You. In You I am beautiful too.

Saved Through Your Program - (January 22, 2008)
I have never been religious but I was miraculously saved using one of your TV channels here in Kenya on 19th Jan 2008 at night. I have prayed, and I believe that will be strong in the Lord forever and ever amen.

God Is Good - (January 9, 2008)
I have always wanted to go to real-estate school. However, I did not have the funds. Well on Sunday, I received a newspaper, and there were classes that are free. I called and they said yes the classes are free but I would have to go to class on Sabbath. Nevertheless, saints I was not having it, so I called friends and I called back the school; they told me I could take classes on Sunday. But the matter was to start class I had to have 99.00 for the book the lady told me come on in anyway and they would work out the payments with me. God stood for me because he gave me the faith to stand for him. God is Good and faithful. Please keep me in prayer for wisdom, God promised he would give it to me. Keep standing for the Lord, because the prayers of the righteous avail much....

Praise Report for the Mitcheff Sisters - (January 9, 2008)
I always enjoy watching the Mitcheff sisters in the kitchen. They are a blessing to me; I learn about healthy meals, I laugh because of their clean fun and humor in the kitchen. Praise God for the Mitcheff sisters.

I Made It! - (January 7, 2008)
Hello, Prayer Warriors. Well, God got me through to the last semester of school. I was in a tough spot but God got me out. I'm really glad, but I still have another tough semester ahead and soon after look for a job, start a career and then who knows what's next. I'm glad I made it this far. I pray I don't lose sight of God and will stay focused. So I'm going to be praying and if you have a little bit of time, maybe you could toss a little in prayer for me. Seriously though, thank you to all the Prayer Warriors who prayed for me and sent me encouragement. I appreciate it more than you know.

Thank You To Cheri Peters - (December 31, 2007)
Dear 3ABN staff, Please pass on my words of thanks to Cheri Peters for her amazing program. It's funny, how in some way or another I have found a way to relate in just about all of the episodes from this season thus far. At least the ones I have watched. I just want to say thank you for continuing to broadcast, "Celebrating Life In Recovery," this truly is a ministry that reaches in places we do not even understand. I never even knew this program existed until I stumbled upon it once this year, and now I try to watch it every week. I also want to thank Cheri for bravely sharing her testimony in "Miracle From The Streets," this book combined with her program have begun to change my life in an amazing way. A way that I can't describe right now. I would love to speak with Cheri in person someday, and thank her personally but I know she is busy as you all are. Keep up the great work and may God bless 3ABN in 2008. Many thanks. Ashley

Praise God for 3abn!!! - (December 22, 2007)
Through an absolute miracle of God, and after three years of down turns beyond belief, my sister, Christina, and I were able to buy our Grandparent's home and moved in July 1st of 2007! Grandpa helped his father build it, and it houses memories of Love so Dear to us that I wake in the night still in awe!

Only by the Grace and Mercies of God could we be getting the totally awe-inspiring programming! Glory to God for His ever-Present Faithfulness! With Joy for being able to receive the three Angels message! Lynn

An Early Love-Wrapped Christmas Present I Just Got - (December 18, 2007)
I have always been touched and uplifted by Kelly Mowrer's music through the years - and I never ever thought that she would one-day offer to play the piano and speak at my small church. I was very happy when I knew it because each music that I've heard her play had always resonated down deep within me - not just because of the beautiful way she did it but because of the message in the song and because she played from her heart. I've watched her radiate with joy every time she was at the piano - while playing and even when speaking. So we've been emailing to each other before she came - and I told her she would be a great Christmas gift to me this year. Her presence brought joy not only to others, but also especially to me. I have been out of work for 4 months now due to an injured ligament in my left knee and because of over-compensating work of the right knee and due to the extreme cold weather; I have been experiencing severe discomfort to the point that I will undergo MRI of the right knee this coming Thursday afternoon. I really am a cheerful person and have been living an active life, but I am becoming despondent and have been trying to keep away from my world with out telling anyone about my feelings - but Kelly's presence and tight hugs and music cheered me up - like a friend I've always known - her laughter and joy gave me encouragement - she was God-sent to me as a priceless Christmas gift. Not only that, I saw and heard her read from the Bible this afternoon on this station and I also read her life's story in your January issue of 3ABN World. I finally burst into tears--I know these are tears of healing even before I undergo a possible operation on my other knee. God gives me the best gifts in life. I cannot thank Him enough for Kelly. She is flying home to PA today but her music will keep me company. God bless her and her family! You are blessed to have her on your ministry!

I Dare You To Step in A Thrift Store - (December 15, 2007)
Children often dare each other, and adults do too. As a child, you might actually go through with the dare, to prove you're "not afraid," of the consequences. However, as the years go by, and we become "adults," we also become more cautious. We're "afraid," of what people might think of us, and our reputation will be tarnished. My husband Gary and I have been volunteers at 3ABN'S thrift store for a few months, now, called the "Browse Around. It's amazing how many people he and I have come across that actually are afraid to step into a thrift store. Why? Because they don't want anyone to think they're "in need," of any thing. They don't want to be labeled as "lower income,” and can only purchase less expensive merchandize. I'm aware that most thrift stores do make some kind of profit, even those that are tending to the less fortunate. However, there might be some things you don't know about thrift stores. 3ABN's thrift store, The Browse Around, has a special purpose, a special mission. We're not only there as volunteers to raise money for children in need, but to MINISTER to the needs of the community, whether it be merchandize-wise, or spiritual; all sales go for this purpose, and we are a non-profit organization. Our volunteers are hard-working men and women. They believe in relieving the pains and sorrows of others, through encouragement, kind words, and good service. We give Bible Studies, and offer prayer. It's not unusual to stay past closing time, to talk to those needing answers to their questions. Many have lost loved ones and friends, have lost their jobs, or are in a financial crisis. Some come into the store, with their limbs amputated, and wearing oxygen tubes. However, through all the apparent gloom and doom, comes hope; hope that someone actually cares to hear their concerns, their disappointments, and their heart-breaking trials. And when they leave our store, they feel like heaven has come down, and answered their prayers. They feel "whole," again, and are praising God, when they step outside The Browse Around. Often, we hear the words, "I LOVE THIS PLACE!” At the end of the day, the volunteers go home, praising God that THEY have been so greatly blessed, through ministering God's word to a tender soul, deeply in need of God's love. As a volunteer myself, I look at God's tired children, and see the transformation of desperation to salvation! Oh, the amazing love of God, to be a part in all this! Those are just a few things you might not know about The Browse Around thrift store; things you might not know about people that are hurting, and are in need of God's love and grace. But there's one last thing in particular that you might not be aware of. It is not unusual at all, to have customers in our store that are very financially secure. The last couple of weeks, I've had people asking me about a safe. They wanted the safe for valuables, and gold coins. Often, these customers tell me they find things in our thrift store, and other thrift stores as well, that they cannot find at expensive stores. You find many items that are in excellent condition, and are absolutely beautiful for your home, unlike any thing else department stores have to offer. However, those that have come in the Browse Around have said they have not been in any thrift store like ours; they say there's something "different," about it. Friends, there IS something different about the Browse Around. We pray before entering its doors; we pray for God's grace, His wisdom, words, and guidance in leading souls to Him. We pray that God will bring in the rich and the poor, the educated and the non-educated to hear the words that God has given particularly for them. So, I dare you to step into a thrift store, especially The Browse Around. Look around, and see what God is trying to tell you. Yes, you will see the needy, but you will also see reality. And the reality is: Jesus is everywhere, especially among the less fortunate. When you go into a thrift store, remember that although Jesus was the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and all that exists, he had no place to call His own, and were dependent upon the hospitality of others. He would not have been ashamed to step into a thrift store. So, instead of worrying about what others might think of you entering such a store, remember that Jesus never looked at any place too lowly for His presence. Jesus was a blessing everywhere He went, and that's the way we should be.

Thank God for All His Blessings - (December 7, 2007)
I would like to give almighty God thanks for all He has done for me during this year; He has kept me in blessed health and was so good to me I want to give him praise and glory. I am a Adventist sister in the Cayman islands and I attend the seventh day Adventist church in Georgetown

God Smaked! - (December 3, 2007)
One year ago I went to my mother’s home after selling my home. While there, she asked me to finish painting her house, but within a short time I needed to move the two story scaffolding from the ground and a large plank came lose from the top falling down and hitting me on top of my head. Over the next two months I went to a bone cracker 3 times and got X-rays and a cat scan the first of 3 visits to the emergency room but nothing was found. Doctors were rude and mean to me treating me like a drug addict yet I knew that something was really wrong. When I got a clinic to order MRI's it was found that C6 was shattered! I got the surgery that fused C4,5,and 6 and spent the next year resting up and watching 3ABN and learned that I had lost my love of GOD and lost my way as well. I recovered completely and now am walking with my eyes on the lord thanks to the truth given on your station. My prayers include you.

Thanks Alot for 3abn for What Isaw Through Inernet - (December 1, 2007)
First of all I thank Good for what is doing for his people, through 3abn all over the world ,especially I myself. I saw wonderful things through internet about 3abn. I am sorry because I can’t tell what I saw or read in internet about 3abn, because of my poor English. I am looking forward to inform me more about.

Thanks To God & 3abn Warrior Team - (November 20, 2007)
I take this opportunity to express my thanks to God who has seen me through difficulties time in my Life during the entire period when I was unemployment while pursuing my MBA Education. Secondly, I thank 3ABN for accepting to join in prayer seeking sessions that have opened my doors for success and God has answered my prayers as I sent the request for your consideration. I requested that God should open door for me to finish my thesis, pay my school fee, secure employment, and give my daddy good health. I am very happy that God has answered all these requests. I have graduated and have my MBA degree. I managed to defend and pay the entire school fee balance that was outstanding. Besides, God has given me an employment with Mount Meru University as a Lecturer. My daddy's health has improved quite well. I am still asking you to remember him in your prayer for God will do wonders as He has done already. Thanks to God and for 3ABN for helping me see that I still have a Christian family that I can belong in moment of happiness and sadness.

Baptism - (November 19, 2007)
One year ago November 2006, I was invited along with other members of my family to visit Lithonia SDA Church, here in Atlanta Georgia, to hear our cousin Pastor Ivor Meyers speak. This was my first time attending an SDA Church. The message was compelling, and the warmth of the people was so welcoming that I never left. Last Sabbath November17, my cousin Sharon and I were baptized and became members of the Lithonia Seventh Day Adventist Church with our families watching! I am so thankful to God for His presence in my life and for giving me a heart tender enough to receive His truth and making me obedient to His will and His guidance.

Prayer Is Power - God Is Listening - (November 19, 2007)
This is a copy of the testimony I gave to 3 churches that were praying for my brother PRAYER IS POWER - GOD IS LISTENING In October 17, 2006, we received the news that my brother (father of 3) was in the hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil in critical condition. The doctors had no idea what kind of bacteria was rapidly taking over his entire lungs. Several tests were done and in a matter of days, Cleverson was transferred to the intensive care unit and breathing through a machine. On October 18, my mother went to Brazil and at the airport I said to her: “Mom, I’ll be going to Sao Paulo tomorrow.” I am not taking the kids because their passport is not ready. She replied: “You have never left your girls before; I can not believe that you will have the courage to go without them.” The next day, I departed from Richmond Airport to NY and Sao Paulo. The night before my trip, just before I went to bed I heard this phrase in my head: “Just believe, just believe and he will be cured.” I was teaching the cradle roll the week before about Jairus’ daughter and how he approached Jesus for help and when his servant said: “Master, please do not bother Jesus anymore. Your daughter is dead.” Jesus said to him: “Wait, just believe and she will be cured.” I was telling Robert about these thoughts that night, and just before he came to bed, while he was brushing his teeth he had this thought in his head: “Daisy’s prayers will be answered.” I was so happy when I heard this. This gave me so much faith that God was going to take care of my brother. The next morning, my mother came to pick me up at the airport in Sao Paulo. She said that Cleverson was in critical condition and was not awake most of the time since he was heavily sedated. We went to Cleverson’s house to drop off the luggage and when I went to the shower; my mom received a phone call from Thais, Cleverson’s wife. She said: Jeni, please come soon. The group of doctors taking care of Cleverson would like to speak with the family. I said to mom: “Please go, I will meet you later”. I got a taxi cab and when I arrived at the hospital; my mom was waiting for me at the reception. She took me to the reception on the 9th floor. There we found Thais with three of Cleverson’s doctors. I will never forget the look on her face as she had just received some news. My mom asked: What is it Thais? What is going on with Cleverson? With a look of terror and tears rolling down her face, she said: It is Leukemia. My mom said: Oh my GOD…. As I was watching this scene right before my eyes, I could not stop thinking about the miracles that God has made in our lives. I pointed to the doctors and said: Thais, mom… these doctors are instruments in God’s hands. This is what they have diagnosed today. God can move mountains, for God everything is possible. God is the One holding Cleverson's life in His hands. Please remember the miracles in our lives… In 2004, Robert went to work one morning and came back with a lump on his shoulder that wasn’t there in the morning. Two days later we went to the Fairfax hospital for an ultrasound when expecting our second baby, and found out that there was a 90% chance of having a baby with Down syndrome. We put our knees on the floor and prayed to God. “Dear Father, we give everything to you. Our lives, our babies, our dog, house, everything that we have. God, one miracle seems to be a lot to ask, but 2 miracles, seem almost impossible. We come to you in prayer asking for your mercy and compassion. Please let Robert and Christiana be okay. A few days later, Robert’s biopsy results showed a benign tumor. A few days later after a CVS test, the doctors called to let us know that Christiana would not have Down syndrome, but there was a 50% chance of heart surgery just after her birth. We continued to pray and ask for prayers and give all to God. Christiana was born on Nov 4th 2004 at the Fairfax hospital. After several tests at the intensive care unit, they told us that she is a normal baby. Robert had a few biopsies done, and all of them came negative for cancer. His doctor told me after one of the surgeries that he had and while I was still pregnant with Christiana that it was hard to believe that it was not cancer since the cells were so well defined… Cleverson was anointed on Saturday morning, October 21st. Two days after my arrival. The doctors were afraid to start the treatment since this was going to lower his immune system. They were treating his lungs infection with antibiotics. There was a little bleeding in one of the lungs, too. Since there was a slight improvement the week before with no further changes, they decided to start the chemo. One of the doctors said that it was "everything or nothing...", but they could not wait any longer since the cancer was spreading too quickly. After a week in Brazil praying and fasting with my mom and 2 sisters that arrived from Richmond and Boston, Cleverson was in stable condition, but in critical condition. The doctors said that this was a miracle that he survived another week. Cleverson was very sedated all week, but there were moments that he wanted to open his eyes and look at us. Every visit hour at noon and 8 pm, I would be the last one to enter the room after my mom and Thais and would stay for 10 to 15 minutes. I kept talking to him about his kids and how beautiful they are and about things that they were doing during that day. I would also pray at night for him to have a calm night with no pain. I kept telling him that God is power and that he needed to give in to the Lord and ask Him to go back to his little ones and his wife. I kept saying almost every day: “Cleverson, I am sure you are going to walk out of this room”. Just ask God to go back home to your family.” Three to four days later after the chemo, Cleverson’s body started to swell up and his face, hands and legs were getting very big. My mom was in tears when she told me that she wasn’t sure if she could go into Cleverson’s room. The pain that she was facing for watching her son laying helpless, unable to speak or move his legs or hands on that bed was so great that she was afraid she would pass out in the room. I said: “Mom, I understand how you feel and I’ll be praying and will ask others to pray for you, too. You and Thais are very important pieces in Cleverson’s salvation and cure”. On my last day in Brazil, 10/26/06, I spent all day at the hospital praying. I was anxious to see my brother and at the same time nervous for I had to tell him I was departing. What a hard day it was for me to leave him when he was still under such critical condition and not able to really see me and could barely open his eyes. At the time of the visit, I was holding Cleverson’s hand and saying that I needed to get back to Isabella, Christiana & Robert, but that my prayers would be with him. I said that God is omnipresent and is everywhere. My prayers here and in Brazil are the same. God is with everyone at the same time and knows our needs and prayers before we ask. I asked God for a word of comfort in prayer before I opened my Bible and just before I saw my brother to say goodbye. I closed my eyes and opened the Bible on Psalms 6. It talks about the suffering and prayers of King David and forgiveness:" There were days that we could see the tears on Cleverson’s face. He had been crying. He was not conscious most of the time, but he could hear us and if stimulated, answer with his eyes and slightly move his hands. I though about his tears, and how much he was suffering physically and emotionally. Until this day, every verse I found in the Bible was saying that God was listening our prayers and our cry, but when I read Psalm 6; "For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication. The Lord will “receive my prayer." I cried for the first time since he went to the hospital. My sisters went to a Seventh Day Adventist open house to buy some books and were so deeply sad and in need of hearing something from God that day. They bought a morning meditation book and opened it on this day, 10/26/06 (the same day I found a message in the Bible about King David, Psalms 6) and the title of the message that day was “God Listens”. Pastor Bullion wrote about King David and his infirmity and suffering. He made some comparisons about some people in our days suffering from cancer and like David we sometimes ask “My soul also is greatly troubled, But You O Lord – how long? Return, O Lord, deliver-me!”. David was not different than you and me. There are moments that we vacillate and our patience reaches the limit and we get discouraged and ask the same question: “Until when Oh God… almost doubting in face of the circumstances. What impressed this Pastor the most about Psalms 6 was not the pain or suffering or afflictions and adversities that King David faced, but the extraordinary way that the Psalmist ended this Psalm: “The Lord heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.” He said that God always listens. It may seem like it is taking a long time. It may give you the impression that He will not help us, but He always listens. He is listening to you this very moment. This way, claim like the psalmist: “Return O Lord, deliver me! Oh, free my soul and save me by your grace.” Just before I left the room I said: “Cleverson, give your path to the Lord and trust Him”. I also sang a song that his little girl and I like very much that says: "Life passes so fast and everything that life brings... I don't fear the future, because God is with me. The world can fall apart; I have peace in my heart..." After this song, I felt his hand holding my hand tight. It was so hard to say goodbye. A friend called to let me know that while she was going to church to pray for Cleverson the day before my trip, she prayed that the pastor would send a message that would comfort our family. That day, the pastor spoke about the miracles in the past that were performed by the prophets. He said that in the past, they cured people in the name of Jesus. Today, we are Jesus’ prophets, the Church. With our prayers and faith, many are cured and saved. When I was at the airport, there were so many people waiting at the reception area at our gate. It was a very busy day. I was sitting on the first row of chairs when I noticed that a woman from the last row across the hall stoop up and walked towards me. She asked me a question about the connection flight in NY and said that she was a little nervous. Her husband was working on an assignment for 2 years in the US and that he found out that he had cancer. He had already scheduled 8 sessions of chemo and she had to leave her 2 teenager daughters in order to stay with her husband and support him in this difficult moment of his life. I let her know about my 2 girls, too and everything that has happened to my brother and about the power of prayer... She was so thankful for the words of comfort and could not believe that we had such similar stories. She said: “You know, I believe that God had put us together today. I really needed to hear some words of comfort… Thank you. When I entered the plane, I could not believe who was sitting next to me, a Seventh Day Adventist friend from one the Richmond Churches. Marden started talking to me about the reason why he was in Brazil. His sister had passed away with cancer. We started talking about God and faith and Marden brought up some conversations he had with some pastors in his town about the prophets in the past being able to cure in the name of Jesus. He asked me: “Daisy - Who are God’s prophets today?” “We are, the Church... “ I could not believe that he repeated the same words that my friend said the day before my trip. I truly felt the presence of God in my life that day. I was so devastated for leaving Brazil, but when I heard this, I said to Marden: “This is no coincidence”. I felt that I should continue having faith and hope and that God had a plan for Cleverson. On November 6th, just 2 weeks after the chemo, it was one of the miracles that only God can do... Cleverson showed improvement, his lungs “were clear” and the doctors had decided to remove his respirator, but he still needed an oxygen mask. He spoke briefly over the phone with me. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life! They decided to transfer Cleverson to another hospital more specialized in cases of Leukemia. Unfortunately, just after this move, he was presenting a persistent fever and they started to run tests to find out if he had any infection or any other problems. They found an infection on his neck, where the catheter was placed for the blood transfusion. I called Pastor Ed and Cheryl of the Vienna Church in Northern Virginia and 2 pastors in Richmond to ask for prayers for his fever and infection. I also sent all my dear friends and family an e-mail message asking for prayers. My 2 sisters, Lyllian from Boston and Joyce from Richmond and I were praying with our husbands and our kids that night several times and fasting. I heard that the kids of our dear friends were praying, too... GOD is "so Wonderful and Almighty"! He is "Good and Benevolent and has so much Compassion"! My mom called from the hospital in tears. The night before, my brother was feeling very sick, still had a 103 to 104 fever. While she was putting wet cold towels on his face, he said: "Mom, the last key will unlock and everything will be finished." It was late when she called Thais, his wife, to come to the hospital immediately. The next morning, after having fever since he was transferred to the new hospital a week before, Cleverson woke up with no fever. The doctor came to the room and gave my mom the news that his spine was producing good cells and the exams showed that his lungs were clear. He was still using the oxygen mask, but the lung capacity was around 90% or higher. This was truly a miracle and God's will. Cleverson needed a lot of prayers still, and we thanked all families for all their LOVE and we have no words to express how "THANKFULL" we are... His body had still a long way to go to produce good cells and the emotional part would also play a big role on his recovery. They were planning to tell him about his sickness in the near future. My mom said the next day that Cleverson had some fluid in his lungs. It's because that he was staying in bed too long. They had been walking him to the bathroom and helping him shower. He was also doing physical therapy. My mom also said that he was a little agitated and hadn't slept well for 2 nights. The night before, she asked him if he wanted to pray. He said yes. After being away from The church for so many years, Cleverson prayed to Jesus. On November 11, just after a few days from being away from the intensive care his doctors decided to bring him back to the intensive care unit to monitor him better since he had an infection, water in his lungs and fever. Before he went to the intensive care, he asked my mom to pray for him. He also asked to pray earlier that morning. Mom told me that he sang a song that we used to sing when we were little "God is so good". Five days later, Cleverson's good cells, Leucocitos (white cells), increased in number. His doctors expressed that his recovery was amazing! Thais and my mom answered: "God is amazing! Glory, glory, glory!" Cleverson still had water in his lungs and the doctors decided to tell him that he has Leukemia. He did not ask any questions or made any comments. My mom said that he was calm and seemed to be in peace. Thais mentioned later that he was a little confused with all of this... Thais asked him to have faith and pray to God to give him faith. He said that in the beginning, during his staying at the intensive care with the respirator, he used to cry thinking that he would never see his kids again. Isn't God Wonderful? Today he is able to speak and open his heart. Five days later, Cleverson was transferred out of the intensive care and a day later he had some special visitors... Victoria (6), Alexandre and Gabriel (3) went to see daddy! What a wonderful picture this must have been... Cleverson waited for sooo long for this moment! God is so AMAZING and WONDERFUL! We won't get tired of saying this over and over again! "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Mathew 7:7 "But Jesus looked at them and said to them: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Mathew 19:26 Our family is so thankful for all the prayers. We could truly feel the presence of God in our lives and are so grateful for all the miracles that He has done. We've been learning so much with all of this... It is a time for a lot of reflection, prayer and closeness with God. It is a time for being thankful for all the help that He has sent us through so many people that prayed and are praying for Cleverson. It is a time to be thankful for all the prayers that have been answered, for all the obstacles that he had helped Cleverson overcome. 12/02 - Something so special happened this week. Cleverson was allowed to go home. He was spending time with his family before he had to return to the hospital the following week for a new session of chemotherapy. This treatment should last around 6 months. 12/12 - God’s Love is so Great and has no Limits… Cleverson’s recovery amazed the doctors and everyone watching him each day… There were days at the intensive care when one doctor said: “Only a miracle can save him”. Another week passes and they say: “He only has a 20% chance of living”. After a couple of weeks he is moved out of the intensive care. After a week, he is back to the intensive care again. Two weeks later he is home, spending time with his family. Today, he is at the hospital for treatment with a new hope. He hopes to see his kids, family and friends again. We trust in God and give everything to Him. We pray that Cleverson continues to give everything to Him. We pray that God continues to bless you and all the Church family praying for Cleverson. May all of our prayers be received by God as a sweet perfume. May He accept all of our prayers. 01/29 - Cleverson was going to the hospital every week to have his blood checked. I found out that they had to stop the chemotherapy before the treatment was over. The medicine given just before the treatment was affecting his heart. 01/22 - I spoke to Cleverson a few times land he seemed tired and discouraged. I was telling him that I went to a company meeting in Orlando last week and met a man with an interesting story. Our group took a van to go to dinner. I noticed that the driver was speaking in Portuguese on the radio with another colleague. We started speaking in Portuguese. He is from Sao Paulo. He has been living in the US for 3 months. He is a lawyer and was working for the Federal Justice in Brazil. When going to work one morning, he was kidnapped and put in the trunk of his own car. The kidnappers kept him in the car while driving him in a highway from 7 am to 6 pm. After this, they drove off the road to the woods and shot him on the chest. This man passed out and the kidnappers left the scene thinking that he was dead. Later, he woke up bleeding and unable to move his legs. In the middle of the dark, he tried really hard to get to the road where he could see from a distance the lights from the cars passing by. He dragged himself slowly and finally made it to the road where he waived his hand, but no one would stop... He thought to himself: "I am going to die here..." Suddenly, a guy in a motorcycle stopped and asked his name. He said "Ricardo". This man said: "Ricardo, you are not going to die! You came all the way from the middle of the woods to this road to ask for help. If you were able to drag yourself way here, you are not going to die, Ricardo. My name is Ricardo, too. You are going to be okay." He passed out and woke up with the ambulance and the police taking him to the hospital. He asked about this guy, but no one heard or saw him. Ricardo was in coma for 17 days, but with a lot of prayers from friends and people that heard his story, he is now alive. He has 2 kids and decided to change his life and came here to work. I told Ricardo that he was “born again” and that anyone can see that God has a plan for him. I believed that God had a plan for Cleverson, too. On May 29, 2007, Cleverson was admitted to the intensive care with an infection and extremely low blood pressure. After some tests, he was diagnosed with gallstones. He was having some uncomfortable pain in the abdomen for a while. Cleverson had his gallbladder and some large stones removed. His recovery was a point of concern since he was still trying to recover from his last chemo. His immune system was very low. He had been receiving more blood transfusions and platelets (cells that can be used to control bleeding). He was also going through a lot of pain. Again we asked our dear pastors, family and friends for prayers. Lat June, after recovering from surgery and with the treatment being over, Cleverson went home to his family. For the first time since everything started, he was allowed to eat fruits and vegetables. He said that he couldn’t wait to eat a good fresh salad with lettuce and tomatoes. Once, a dear friend that gave Robert and I Bible studies said that faith is like this: It’s like being in a small plane, flying in a middle of the night with a huge thunder storm and lightning. There is no visibility outside, it is so clouded. You are afraid and there is nothing else you can do, but to trust the instruments… It is scary… but you know that your only chance is to “trust” the instruments so you can go home. The same is with life. We don’t know the future, and this leave us anxious many times and scared, but we know that if we “trust” in God, he can take control of our life and guide us to where we need to go. Dear Friends, I know that God has a plan for each one of you, too. Our friends’ prayers have been impacting Cleverson’s life and his family’s life during this difficult journey. Our prayer is that He blesses your lives immensely. Let’s pray for each other. It is AMAZING what God can do when we pray! “May the glory of the Lord endure forever; May the Lord rejoice in His works. He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I’ll sing praise to my God while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet to HimI’ll be glad in the Lord.” Psalm 104: 31-34

To God Be the Glory - (November 18, 2007)

THAN YOU JESUS! To God Be The Glory

Finding Your Purpose in Life - (October 23, 2007)
I've been a Seventh-day Adventist Christian for 40 years. Often, I have heard many Christians of different denominations say they don't feel a "real purpose," in life; they don't feel they have any special talents, or any attributes that would be a blessing to anyone. They feel you must have a famous name, or be endowed with noticeable, dynamic talents, such as singing, preaching, or speaking. And, so it goes, these people that could be used as vessels for God sit on the side-lines watching others do God's work. Life goes on, and in their "autumn years," they look back and feel they haven't accomplished anything. It's true that many people are shy or of a more quiet spirit, and it is a bit more difficult to be as aggressive as others in forwarding the gospel. That's where my testimony comes in. While growing up, I was VERY SHY. I was more of an "observer," as a dear friend told me. I watched, and listened to the way others treated each other. As I watched relationships mend, or unravel, I learned a great deal about people. I learned what makes them hurt, or sad; angry, or lovable. I also learned that no matter how bad things get in your own life, lending a helping hand, or a sympathetic ear can save someone's very soul. I'm a volunteer Science teacher for our Christian school in Thompsonville, Illinois, and my husband and I are volunteers for Three Angel's Broadcasting's thrift shop, "Browse Around." When life gets rough, or the world seems to "turn on you," reaching out to others in need, dispels the entire world's problems, and lifts your eyes toward heaven. In touching other's lives, you forget about yourself, and remember what you're here for; what your purpose is; YOU'RE HERE TO BE A PART OF THE FAMIILY OF GOD! God is lonely, and He wants YOU there!!! And, not only does He want YOUR company, He wants you to bring others WITH YOU! Volunteering to teach, and work at the Browse Around is one of the biggest blessings God has ever given me in my lifetime. To be a part in giving children a Christian education, and to reach out at the Browse Around to help those in need, has been incredibly rewarding. I've learned that one person CAN really make a difference!! I have no special title; I have no famous name; but, I am WILLING to be used by God in whichever way He sees fit. Knowing that I'm a child of the heavenly King, makes me special, and that is enough. And, if I start feeling sorry for myself, I make homemade pumpkin pies, banana nut bread, and homemade vegetable soup, then, I distribute my goodies to my loved ones, and those in need. At times, I might write letters, or send cards, to encourage others. There are so many simple things we can do, that will be a HUGE blessing to those around us! You don't have to move mountains, or part the Red Sea, to be of help to others. Ask God what He will have you to do, and He will definitely show you! God wants His children to be happy, and we're our happiest when we're serving Him, and helping our brothers in sisters in this life! I'm happy living a simple, but busy life for God. I'm happy in reaching out to others, and seeing their joy, knowing that someone really does care. Those rewards are far better than any title, or any amount of money. I'm so grateful that God has helped me realize that I truly do have a purpose in this life, and it is to be a blessing to my brothers and sisters here on earth, and to relieve the pain and sorrow of others. You DON'T have to have any degree, or talent for that; with a prayerful heart, God will grant you a giving, loving heart, NATURALLY!!! Regardless of who you are, your occupation or your background, God can use YOU! My testimony to the world here and the world soon to come is: Be diligent in serving the Lord, and reaching out to others; your reward will be a hundredfold. I'm proof of that. And by the way, when you delve into the work of God, the shyness begins to melt away; you might remain "reserved," somewhat, but your love for Jesus, and what he has done for you, can no longer be hidden within, and you tell your story to the whole world. Rosemary

Thank You Prayer Warriors! - (October 15, 2007)

Miracle - (October 9, 2007)
The Lord helped me find a lost car key at a beach in Antigua. Lenox, Wilson

God Had Shed His Light - (September 26, 2007)
I grew up Christian, and still am, but if this makes sense--I never truly received or felt that great feeling of receiving the Jesus as my LORD and Savior. I was baptized as well, religion was a part of my life, but not as major as it is now. I think about God in everything, and I'm also glad I do and glad that it is a big part of my life now. I'll never forget the time I found my first Bible. I knew we had a Bible in the house somewhere and I would look for it but I could never find it and i got frustrated..and kind of upset also. Then I remember I was looking for it one day and I was just about to give up. I stood in the living room, looking into the dining room thinking of where else it could be. Then I turned my head and looked at the china cabinet we had in the dining room..I saw something shining and glittering out of a drawer that was just cracked open and I wondered what it was..it looked silvery almost. It was kind of unusual considering that those drawers are rarely open. So then I walked over to see what it was and I looked into the drawer and found the precious Bible gleaming right at me. It was amazing because it was as though God had shed his light on it to catch my attention. I praise Him, I'm so grateful to have had that experience because it was like he was there. Showing me the way to him for me to follow, as he still does.

My Mom - (September 25, 2007)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all for your prayers and support during this time. This has been one of the longest and most exhausting weeks in my life. However I cannot complain, because my mom is here! To recap, the surgery on Tuesday went very well. The surgery began at 8 a.m. and by 9:25 a.m. Dr. Appel was talking to us about it. He said it was amazing, that the cancer was as freestanding as something could be in your body. He said he literally could put his hand around it and cup it. The nodule, as he called it, was very small. He said it had not had the opportunity to get itself “rooted” into any other parts of her body! He felt very confidant that he was able to get it all. After he said all of this, tears of joy filled my eyes, as I could hear the exact words I personally spoke to the Lord asking Him to keep the cancer contained and not to let it spread or attach itself to any other organs or parts of her body. Even better news, the cancer was not in a lymph node as originally thought, but rather it was in a nerve nodule! This is great news because the nerve is not a transporter, so the cancer truly was contained!!!!! God is so GOOD!!!!!! He did say microscopic cancerous cells could still be in her body and we will only know that once we see the new films. To this I ask that you continue to pray with me, that all of the cancer is GONE!!! With All My Love, Leti

Thanks for Successful Surgery - (September 25, 2007)
About two weeks ago, I requested prayers for my sister's brain tumor surgery. The initial surgery did not succeed because she went into seizures. After a week of anti-seizure meds, they went in again yesterday. It is over and she is recovering without problems. While we are relieved for that, we still pray that she will yet acknowledge the Lord's hand in her ordeal. Thanks for the prayer line. Ken

The Hand of God Through the Note Pad - (September 18, 2007)
I support a lot of meetings as part of my job. So this particular meeting was very important. It was a two day meeting. At the end of the first day of the meeting I packed everything into the car. As I was driving to work the second day of the meeting, I realized that the note pad that I wrote the meeting minutes and the action items in was not in the car. I called my husband and asked him to look for it and bring for me at the meeting. My husband looked everywhere in the house and the note pad was no where to be found. I looked everywhere in the car and in the conference room but it was not there. I can almost hear my boss' voice ringing in my head "Donna, take detailed and copious notes. This is a very important meeting." I got to work at 7:15 in order to set up for the next meeting since it was a two day meeting. The work day starts at 8AM. So the parking lot was empty when I got there. Then I thought "well, maybe the note book fell on the ground as I was loading my car yesterday." So I parked my car looked through the empty parking lot and there was no notebook. I did not see how I could have lost the note pad. I was to the point of tears because my job was on the line. I asked the Lord for help. "Lord I really need your help here. I need to find that note pad, so please help me". I went inside and made preparation for the upcoming meeting. It was about 11:00AM when I left to go pick up lunch for the attendees. I was really to the point of tears at this point. I said Lord "I need to find this note pad. I don't know where else to look for it but you do. I need to find the note pad, Lord. You have to come through for me now. Thank you, Lord, for coming through for me." I was still talking to the Lord as I was compelled to look forward, and in between two cars there was the note pad face down on the ground. That day I saw the hand of the Lord as visibly as I am seeing this computer in front of me. It was like when Peter was release from jail by the Angel and he thought he was dreaming. The parking lot was empty with no cars and I looked for that note pad but did not find it but found it when the parking lot was full of cars. The Lord is involved in every aspect of His children's lives. If it is important to you, you better believe that it is important to the Lord. Praise His holy name. Donna, Torrence

A Miracle ! - (September 14, 2007)
My Step daughter Christina Hutton was in a head on car crash a week ago last Saturday night. She was placed on life support systems with little to no chance of surviving it much less even surviving the crash itself. We prayed over her and Our Seventh-day Adventist Minister and an Elder from our church anointed her with oil. Within 24 hours she began to show improvement and in 48 hours she was taken off life suppor, thriving on her own. She is now in the trauma unit in Lakeland where she remains in guarded condition and continues to show improvement. We are asking for every one to continue to pray as our Lord and savior is alive and working miracles today. We are also asking for financial prayers as this has taken its toll on our family but, we will continue to leave these things in God’s hands thank you all and God Bless. Charles and Jeaneen Downey

God Answers Prayers... - (August 27, 2007)
I would like thank God for prayers answered for my husband, Robert. He was not able to sleep well for a couple of weeks with so much pain after a shoulder surgery. Last week, after requesting prayers from the 3ABN prayer warriors and prayers from friends and family, he was able to sleep almost every night without pain. GOD BLESS YOU! Daisy

Praise God - (August 16, 2007)
I ask you to pray for my husband when we found out he had prostate cancer. Well he chose to have the procedure Cryocare, where they freeze the cancer. We got to the hospital at 6:30 this morning and we were back home at 11:30. The Dr said everything went good. Thanks so much for your prayers and the prayer warriors. We serve a mighty God. Magalene McIntyre

Witness - (August 14, 2007)
I am staying in Puna, India. By God's grace I am working as a teacher in Seventh-day Adventist school. One day a mother came with her two daughters and told her problems. And she also said that she had seen 3abn. After fasting prayer, again she came and witnessed that the long years of 15 years of hardships from her husband, now he stopped everyday beating her. For the first time her children are studying nicely and one of her daughter got prizes in competitions. Now they need Bible study. So every Saturday I am telling them about God. But I don’t know proper Hindi language, so please pray for me so that I can give the messages to many.

Amazing By True - (July 31, 2007)
I was brought up by Seventh Day Adventist parents. I married a non-Adventist and backslide for the last 20 years or so. BUT thanks to 3abn, I praise God for this channel I am now going back to church and through 3abn it has strengthened my faith in the Lord. I would also like to mention here I love 3abn; I go to sleep in front of the TV watching 3abn. Here is something amazing that happen--I would like to share even my 12 year old son noticed. Our power unit was showing 9 units for the last 7 days. We always use 3 units per day but somehow even though I was watching 3abn till the early hours of the morning even if I fall asleep and the channel is on we still have our power supply. When my son checked the power unit we realized that we where using only 1 unit or less than that. You know what my son said, mum it’s because you always watch 3abn. Praise God he is an awesome God. Love you all at 3abn. Elsie Haru

Testimony - (July 31, 2007)
I was born in San Francisco, Ca. and became very familiar with the streets and how to handle myself by the age of 14. Drugs were a familiar part of my life, usually washed down with a beer or wine. Three of my brothers and sisters were constantly in trouble with the law and if we were to add the number of years in jail it would equal 55. I was deeply involved with drugs, and thought nothing of drinking a bottle or two of wine with dinner most of my life. I was deeply involved with the mafia, hells angels, and several underground groups. At age 62 I went in for a physical and was diagnosed with a serious heart condition, otherwise known as clogged arteries. The doctors wanted to do a 5-way bypass and I resisted to the end. I looked feverishly on line for an alternative and found a place called Weimar Institute and a new start program that could reverse my condition. I called Weimar and spoke with Dr.Ing, who advised me to get up there right away and go through the program. When I told my wife and family they thought I had flipped out, because the Cardiologist said with the amount of weight lifting I was doing at the gym I was lucky I didn’t drop dead of a heart attack and did not think I had a choice but to go through the surgery. After visiting UC Davis Medical center and talking with 5 cardiologists about my condition, they advised me to proceed with the surgery. Jan 3, 2003 I underwent a five way bypass. I thought this was the end of my days. My entire family gathered at the hospital to wish me good luck, while others bid me goodbye. I woke up two days later with my arms and legs sliced from one end to the other. Later doctors told me they needed veins and arteries to do the bypass. After the bypass I began my long road back to being able to walk and take care of myself. With my wife Cindy by my side, I knew I was going to be okay. I started drinking alcohol immediately after surgery. Drugs and alcohol were a poor mix, and became very aware of this with daily hallucinations, i.e., walls opening and rats and rodents of all types crawling in and out, all of this I kept to myself. One day while sitting on the side of my bed at our new house in Grass Valley I began to cry, Cindy asked what is the matter. I told her I couldn’t go on living like I was living. I was scared to death with diabetes, high blood pressure, over weight, I couldn’t sleep, angry most of the time and the truth be known I was a drunk. She said what about that place you told me about, Weimar? We called and spoke with Cynthia for a short time. We jumped into the car and drove to Weimar within the next hour. We signed up for what we thought was going to be an 18 day retreat to see if I could reverse all these conditions I had accumulated as a result of all the foods I ate and alcohol . We drove home and were excited about our decision to go to Weimar and take the Newstart program. Fortunately we had the money, which was to be used for our 25th wedding anniversary party. We had plans to invite everyone we knew to attend our party and witness our exchanging of vows. None the less we used our money for a new lease on life. On August 14, 2005 we arrived at Weimar and where introduced to our new living quarters for the next 18 days. I was excited and wanted to go for a walk right away. That excitement passed quickly when I realized that it was about 105 degrees. I was so out of shape and overweight the walk was torture. Every bone and muscle in my body ached from not being used for such a long time. Monday morning was indoctrination and as I recall they drew our blood and did a urinalysis. The next day they put me on a tread mill and Dr Orlich had me walking faster than I had ever walked. He said I wasn’t in that bad of shape for a guy in my condition. We had cooking classes, morning worship with a guy I thought for sure was much too happy, his name is Pastor John. In the morning we would have stretching classes and a good walk to loosen up then at 6:45 am breakfast. I noticed something quite unique about all the staff they seemed so calm, loving, caring and peaceful. When we went to Dr Orlich’s office, he would always ask if he could pray with us. At massage they wanted to pray with us, everywhere we went people wanted to pray. We thought this was great and became very aware of how special Weimar and our stay was going to be. After three days on the program I stopped taking my diabetes meds, Dr. Orlich said that I no longer needed them. Three days later I stopped two high blood pressure meds. This was amazing to me, after all when I arrived my blood pressure was 155/96 or very close to that. At the time I stopped taking the BP meds it was consistently around 128/77. My blood pressure has been consistently normal since I went through the Newstart program. As I continued walking and eating a proper diet, the excess weight began to melt away. By the end of 18 days I lost 20lbs or more. My last bit of alcohol was August the 14th 2005, and was also the last time I ate any kind of animal product. I became a Vegan at Weimar and remain the same today. I have lost a total of 55 lbs, have more energy than when I was a young man, look better than ever and can actually walk several miles per day without panting. Before we left Weimar I asked if there was a way we could learn more about the Bible. Dr. Orlich said he would have someone get in touch with us. Stephanie Jaeger was our Bible study partner for the next two months. She and Dr. Orlich suggested we attend a “Revelation Promises Hope,” seminar led by evangelist Brian McMahon. After the seminar we were baptized and all of a sudden all the pieces began to fit together, we realized God was calling us in a way that was so profound. My life has been one beautiful event after another. My health and business have gotten better. My wife Cindy and I attended “Marriage Encounter” and are now able to communicate in a much more loving and caring way. We are truly blessed and owe a great deal to Weimar, the Newstart program, and the staff that made our stay an experience of a lifetime. I would recommend the Newstart program to anyone who has any type of health condition. I found that most health issues can be overcome by following the principles that Weimar teaches. By following the Newstart program, I regained my health and hope for a long and happy life. I am willing to discuss my experience with anyone who wishes. I can be reached at the following: Danny, this is the short version. God Bless Ron Giannoni 916-223-1806 ron@rcg-realestate.com

12 Minutes To Get in Line - (July 5, 2007)
In April/May of 2007, I sent in an emergency prayer request for my daughter who attended a University in Washington DC. Mandy (my daughter) received news that she was not going to march with her class in May of 2007. She was devastated when she heard the news. Mandy called me, and we talked about it and began to pray with each other on the phone that God will make a way out of no way. I began making several calls to the school to get a clearer understanding as to why she may not march. After being on the phone with the school, and doing what I could from home (Alabama), day after day, I knew it was time to bring out the heavy artillery. I called on the one man army, "GOD." It was God's plan for me to go to Washington DC a week before graduation, and meet the department of the Chairs face to face, as well as the Head Dean of the school, and any other individual that was connected to this situation. After my arrival, I began to search out individuals that God had guided me to speak with. Those that I spoke to were giving me all negative responses. Every time a staff member (including the secretary) would answer "NO" or "it is not possible for her to do this", it was like piercing our hearts over and over. I paused several times thorough out each day, when we didn't know what to do or what to say. I repeatedly reminded my Heavenly Father according to His word, all we had to do was ask, believe and walk on Faith as if it was already done. My heart was aching for my daughter, and I knew that she was running low on "faith fuel," however she continued to persevere. Somehow I knew in my heart that she was going to march, but I didn't know how. The only thing I was sure about was my "FAITH." On May 12th the day of graduation, we were still getting "NO" answers. My prayers were constantly going up during the days and nights. I began to plea for guidance; and reminding him of his promises. On this day, May 12, 2007 we decided to make one last attempt. Mandy and I went to The Head Dean of the University, who others considered very hard and difficult. We started over by sharing with him about the situation. To our surprise, he was a very caring and empathizing person. By this time it was 11:50am, and the graduates had to be in line by 12:30pm., and there we sat (my daughter and me) in his office waiting for a positive response from him. To our disappointment just like everyone else we spoke with, the Deans words to us were "NO"; however in the same breath he stated that she would need a cap and gown if she was going to march. My daughter stated to him that she knew of one of the alumnus who graduated last year, and perhaps they would have their cap and gown. He answered "you do?" I asked the Dean what he was trying to say. His response, "Well if she had a cap and gown..." (He didn't finish his sentence-we were somewhat puzzled). My only question to him was could she march? He looked at his watch and mentioned it is about 12:00 noon and she must be in line at 12:30. We (daughter and I) did not hesitate, we left out of his office so fast, and lightning couldn't catch us. At 12:18pm Mandy was putting on her cap and gown. By 12:30 she was in line ready to march with her class of 2007. Oh how we both rejoiced. Watching God's one man army in action was amazing. This experience has definitely increased our faith, and has made us look forward to marching in "God's Army." My dear friends at 3ABN, and all the prayer warriors, my daughter and I thank you so much for your prayers. Our God is an awesome God! Amanda & Mandy

Thank God for All These Miracles - (June 28, 2007)
I just want to praise and thank God for all the testimonies on this site and the ones not posted. I came here with a heavy heart, as I am unemployed and running out of savings. I am totally encouraged by the faith people have in the most tragic of circumstances. It is truly a blessing for me to draw comfort from reading of the trust in God of people who've come through far worse than me. I also want to give a praise update on my own earlier testimony from March 18, 2006, when a rental car agency was trying to lie about me damaging a car. They harassed me for months; changing the amount of money they wanted, refusing to sign any documents, etc. If it wasn't for God first, and the prayers and support of my family, I almost accepted responsibility and paid the money just to be done with them. The Holy Spirit was in my mother to call and stop me right at the moment as I was writing a check, to say don't give in, have faith. To make a long story short, I kept everything legal on my end, even when they threatened to send to collections. I sent them a legal statement to cease contact under the law unless they could provide something legal, and they backed off and it's been a year. I had to reread my own testimony to remind me that God has and will always provide (jobs, etc.) in His time. Please, everyone continue to be encouraged and thank you so much for sharing these testimonies. Love, Kelvin Posey.

Trust in the Lord With All Thine Heart - (June 19, 2007)
On June 15, 2007 I was laying in my bed thanking God for who He is and what He has done in my life and what He is doing in my life. Right now, I’m being tried in the fire, praying that I come out as pure gold. I have been unemployed for 9 months. I have been on several interviews but all the jobs required me to work on the Sabbath. I would ask the employers could I have 24 hrs off from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset and they would all tell me they could not guarantee that to me. So I had to turn the job down, trusting My Heavenly Master that He would provide my rent, my food, and my utilities, and at the end of the month. I don’t know what is going to happen but My Living God shows up on His time. So on the 15th of this month at 11:26am while I was thanking God, I got a phone call from a Cardiologist Office telling me that they have two positions that they would like to offer me. So I asked Mrs. Martin does either one of these jobs required you to work on the week-ends and she said NO I then stated that if they did , I would need at-least 24 hrs off from Friday sun-set to Saturday sun-set. She then said she just had to ask me was I Sabbath keeper and I told her YES. She then stated to me that she was also a Sabbath keeper and then I told her that was the reason why I don’t have a job yet and she then stated that God will honor me for that. She then told me that she wanted me to come into the office that Friday at 3:00 pm to interview for the job. When I got into the office she asked me what position I wanted and I told her that my resume show that I am qualified for both of the positions she then told me she wanted me to take a 10 key test. She stated to me that the test will tell me that I did ok and not to worry that no one has ever gotten a great score on the test. After taking the test she looked at my scores and said Oh My!!! No body has ever gotten a score like this. She then proceeded to say that it will take two weeks before the Human resources would call for me.

Prayer Answered - (June 6, 2007)

My Vision - (May 28, 2007)
Dear Friends at 3ABN: Last December, I dreamed that I was standing on a beach preaching to the sea---many peoples, kindred, nations and tongues. My Bible glowed with a brilliant light and grew to the size of a mountain. The Bible changed to the two tablets and I heard God say to me: "Keep the message simple. Tell them about My Law."

Praise Report From Paul - (May 3, 2007)
I ask for prayer a while back for Paul as he was having health problems. Just got a report back from him.

God Saved My Life - (April 20, 2007)
On June 17th 2006 I retired from the work force. On the 19th of June, I could have died from a fall off a ladder. I was going down towards a cement step. My back and head was going to hit the cement first. I said "God, please don't let me land on my back". I opened my eyes and I was rotating to an upright position and hit the ground on my two feet. I did spend 24 hrs in the hospital. God does answer you and keeps you safe. It is a total miracle that I am alive. Mel Smith

My Son - (April 19, 2007)
Thank you, my prayers have been answered my son is now working. He is happy. I know I have prayed for other things but as we know God does everything at his own time.

My Journey Living With Hiv - (April 10, 2007)
I may never remember the exact details or the specifics of that day but I can still feel and remember every heartbeat and every breath so clearly, as if I was back in that small tiny office with tattered sofas. That very moment when he put the brown envelope in my hands, I could almost feel my heart beating faster and louder. This was going to be the turning point of my entire life and the rest of my future lay in the content of a small brown envelope. I always ask myself how my life would have turned out had those results said otherwise but I guess I’ll never know the answer to that question, the only answer I did have was that I was HIV positive and there was nothing anyone in this whole world could do to change that. I honestly do not remember anything that happened after I read those results; all I remember was getting in the taxi and going home. Everything after that, I only remember in bits and peaces. The shock was so deep that it did not allow me to cry instead it made me numb. I never thought I would ever get used to the idea of having this disease living inside me for the rest of my life nor did I ever imagine that one day I would be writing this and telling people how the experience has changed my life for the better. If I could, I would go over all the details that led to those results but I have somehow convinced myself that the when and where is not as important as the actual happening. Who gave it to me and when I got it, really did not matter because I realized that dwelling on things I could not change was affecting my progress in changing the things that I could change. Believe me, I spent sleepless night trying to figure out the why’s, when’s and who’s and all that it did was leave me with hate for who’s, regrets for the when’s and depression for the why’s. It was a long bumpy ride to get to where I am today, at times I cry when I think about the ride, but God saw me through and brought me to the point where I was able to forgive myself for my past mistakes and to a point where I learned to appreciate my life and being a beloved child of God. You see, going through each and every detail of my experience living with HIV for the past 3 years is not nearly as exciting as the details on how I got through it, even though I am still living with it; I now see it in a different perspective than I did the day I found out I had it. I was baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist church on the 10th March of this year and giving my life, surrendering and humbling myself before God was the greatest gift I could have ever given myself. HE reminded me that I needed not to be afraid of what is to come because through HIM I am saved. HE would never forsake nor neglect me when I need HIM. Accepting God into my life was excepting new life, a life free of sickness and pain, a life free of worry and anxiety. Through my faith, I have found peace, through my faith I have found hope. Because I believe in God’s miracles, HE has promised me eternal life. Because I believe, HE has given me everlasting happiness. I fear nothing of what the world throws at my direction because I know I have the Lord’s protection on my side. I will however, not claim to be at total peace with what I have; after all I am still human. Had I a choice, I would have chosen not to have this disease because I too; want to be a mother one day without worrying about how my health will be affected. However, even when that thought crosses my mind, God will once again intervene and ask me if I do not believe that HE could give me that chance. I have so much faith in God and his abilities I honestly do believe that anything is possible. Is HE not the same God who created the heaven and earth? Is he not the same God who walked on water and brought Lazarus to life? I always ask., why then do I question his power to heal me completely, On the up side, if those results had turned out negative, I would have never come to know God the way I do now. I would have not had the opportunity to let people know of HIS Greatness had I not gone through this experience. Because of this disease, I am stronger than I have ever been in my life, I see beyond yesterday and today. I see a future worth looking forward to. And as I always say if Satan has plans to test me and to try to bring me down then let him try. The peace that I have found through God by far supersedes anything and everything Satan has to offer me. Even if there could be a cure for the virus, he might as well keep it because I would rather be sick and closer to God than be cured and have the devil possess my soul. By Charmaine Myeni Seventh Day Adventist Edenvale (South Africa)

Job/Green Card - (April 1, 2007)
I want to thank God for answering my prayers and the prayers you made on behalf about my green card and my work schedule to get my 8-5pm schedule back. My manager knows that I am in school at night and I have a part time job that I go to for me to take care of my sister and relatives who are sick back at home with HIV. She also knows that I am a seventh day Adventist and I do not work after sunset on Fridays. Then she gave me a schedule of 11am-8pm that I have never worked for the 2 years that I have been with the company and she gave my schedule to new people who just got hired. So I told the devil that he is a liar and I claimed my schedule back in the name of Jesus because I am still in school and I doing good I have A's in all my classes and I was not going to drop a month before the semester is over because of this new schedule. So I even registered for summer school and I said Faith is the substance of things hoped for then evidence of things not seen and I started thanking God for giving me my schedule back and even promoting me to a better job and move me away from the department with this manager. And God answered our prayers in advance. And also I received a letter from immigration that I am eligible to get my residence and green card and that's another answered prayer so my green card is in the mail. Thank you Prisca.....sweetylavhoo4@yahoo.com

Answered Prayer Request - (March 19, 2007)
I thank and praise God most of all for the answered prayer, concerning the request I asked for my sister-in-law's heart operation in Australia last 13th of March. Thanks for the prayer warrior team. I believe that there is always power in prayer. The Family was very happy of the result of the operation and they realize how the love and concern of God and His people no matter whom they are. My in-laws are non Adventist and they feel that Adventist people are really close to God and that our God never fails anyone I praise the Lord for that and I hope one day they will be able to find a way to know more about our Lord especially my husband who is not an Adventist. Again thanks for everything. All my prayer to all of you and may God bless your work forever so that His coming will be here soon. God bless...Ennie

Miracle in My Life - (March 19, 2007)
Today is my first day requesting prayer from you. I am a strong believer in miracle through prayer. I have been through many obstacles in life but God has always been there. I am 41 yrs old. I like to share an experience with you all. This gives me a great privilege. Couple yrs ago I started to have problems at my work because I used to fall asleep behind my Computer board. I am a Telephone Operator. My co-workers, supervisors discriminated me cause of my weight, laugh, made fun of me. They made me cry so many times. I did not know what was happening to me but I even started to gain weight. I went from 130 to 368lbs. Going through this all I did was pray and asked God to do something. One day as I did my appraisal for my work with my supervisor and a senior person of my dept. They told me it’s their words against mine. There’s nothing I could do and they don't need anyone like me on board. So no matter what I did and they will see to it that I’m fired. I have a very good file and they know it. They looked me in the eyes and said laughing not even that will help you. I just walked off in tears. I said "God if this is what you want you know best. Teach me to go forward" About 2 wks. Later, the manager came in and I was called in for a meeting, with my supervisor, the senior and manager. The manager started "Leticia we Manager, board of directors and union members have come to a decision on your case. We looked over your files and seeing you have been with the company for 14yrs and have never been in problem, rude or gossip or better said not trouble. We held a meeting and upon talking to different people who spoke so good about you and saying that no matter how people talk about you and hurt you. You still help them and are there when they need you. We have decided to help you and give you 6mths to check with a Doctor to see what is wrong. Not to worry you will still be paid during this period. Not necessary for you to work just deal with your health problem. My supervisor and senior just looked at me. I just cried and said Thank you God have sent His angels to help me." I always believed angels were in heaven but this made me believe that angels are on earth. I went to check with the doctors and many turned me down because they said I was too fat. I need to stop eating so much; I knew this was not true. My husband put a great deal of interest in me and stood by me giving me strength. I met my husband about a year before I was going to be fired. He was unemployed but with the love and attention he gave me. Made me realize that material things meant nothing. I have only one child who is 21 was then in his last year of high school, my dad was getting a surgery at that same time so had no one to tell. So I kept this to myself Oni and I continued looking for a doctor. It took me 3mths till finally a Doctor accepted my case and after talking to us he said Lety you need to seek help abroad or you have only 3mths to live. There is no help here in Belize for you. I started to cry because where will I get the finance to do this. Anyway did not give up. I asked God “What do you want from me." The doctor helped made contact for me in Miami "Jackson Memorial” but now I did not have visa to travel. So I took $400.00 and went to the bank to pay for visa for myself and Oni (common law husband) I said aloud he laugh now God you do the rest, what happens it’s up to you. Eventually a lady from the hospital called me from Miami's hospital she was so nice to me as if she knew me forever. I explained to her my situation even about the visa and that yes my insurance from my work is helping and has already booked a flight but I have no visa. My flight was booked for a Wednesday and this was Friday. Anyway, I just kept on saying God you work now. I laugh when my husband said "You are putting God through hell” I said no, no if I’m to go he'll open the way. Well, he did we got our visa Tuesday evening and we fly on Wednesday. My Miami experience arrangements was that I stay with my cousin. I did not have much money. To be honest I had only $4500.00us. When we got to Miami my cousin just dumped us in a hotel not far from the Hospital. After that day not to be seen again. My husband and I were lost cause was the first time in the U.S.A. But we got around. We were getting discouraged especially after we were given a list of test and seminars to do because they referred me to do Gastric by pass surgery for obese people. I was diagnosed with severe sleep daphnia. Everything else was good no diabetes, pressure normal etc. the sleep test doctor gave me a very sad news that surgery cannot be done cause I'll need to sleep with a cpap machine to help oxygen into my body, this will be for 2mths the least. I told her I'm not from Miami and can't afford to just fly. Any way we went to the hotel and talk. I called back home and told them I'm coming back home the following day because I was low on cash and wont be able to afford hotel and medical exp. My aunt called my cousin in Miami and spoke to her. Staying at her home was one of the worst experiences we have ever had but we came through. One day for and appointment the doctor said "Lety we see the interest in you to get help so we have decided to do surgery on you but there is no guarantee out or you can go back home and live for at least 3mths. " Know what I did turn to her and said "You know what God has brought me so far and if I turn back I can't say I tried now it's my turn. If God wants me home let it be on the surgery table, let him decide." I did my surgery and was out after 6 long hours not for me but my mom and husband who were waiting out side. When they saw the male nurse came out and said everything went great. I saw the doctor the following day. She hugs me and said "You are my miracle patient, your faith is big." She walked away. The beauty after my surgery was that one day I realize that I'm back, I need to love those that have hurt me no matter what." This helped me so much. I'm 3yrs out of surgery back at work and still working on my weight. I'm 190lbs now. I'm still helping and being good to people. Thank God some co-workers would ask me "how can you still be nice and helpful to people that have hurt you and made you suffer and cry?" I just smile and said "God knows best." Now I have asked for prayer for my son. I teach my son to pray. We were grown in believing that a family who prays together stays together and also that everything is prayer for us. Now my now husband also learned to believe in God and Miracles. My mom and Dad grew this way. Glad to share my experience with you. Sorry it was so long but I had to share. the lesson I learn was we need to trust God with all our might and leave it to him, he knows when to do things.and he is there always by your side no matter what. Love always and God bless Leticia Cuellar Belize City

Prayer Saved My Life - (March 19, 2007)
July 10, 2006 I returned home from church after spending the entire day worshiping. I was not ill never diagnosed with high blood pressure. Fell ill that night lost all consciousness, heart stopped beating, no pulse, was rushed to the hospital, after several weeks of intense pain it was discovered that I has a ruptured brain aneurysm. They did surgery 1 month after and today I am alive and well, doing the Lord's work. It's a very long story I would love to share in its entirety.

Praise God for Hispanic 3abn Witness - (March 9, 2007)
My wife and I are AFCOE graduates and have been Bible workers in SE Colorado for the past 8 months. One of our many interests has been a Hispanic family: Jose & Esther Velez. Esther has watched 26 lectures from Stephen Bohr's Genesis series in Spanish. She speaks very broken English and it is not easy for us to communicate. Two weeks ago, we installed a 3ABN satellite dish system. Jose says with a smile that she has not cooked supper for him since. Tonight Esther shared that she accepts every thing that she has seen and asked if we had a Spanish pastor. She also said she would like to join our church. Praise God and the wonderful media resources we have available. Do you have suggestions for a way in which we can connect her with a Spanish-speaking pastor? We will be leaving CO to return to our home in Tennessee and we are anxious to seal Esther's decisions. Linden Lawrence

Finding Out the Truth About the Sabbath - (March 5, 2007)
It was a Sunday morning this past December, that I discovered the truth about the Sabbath. I had received a complimentary copy of the book, "Ten Commandments Twice Removed,” many months before I actually was compelled to pick-up the book and read it. I have listened to Dr. Charles Stanley In-Touch Sermon, as I normally do and my son was playing around some boxes I had laying around in my bedroom. He was curious and looking around all the mounds of papers, I had in my storage boxes. I walked by and saw the book of the "Ten Commandments Twice Removed and felt compelled to pick it up and began reading one of the chapters in the middle of the book, which discussed the issue of the Sabbath and what day of the week it really is supposed to be practiced.
