Here are several testimonies of individuals we are working with, bringing hope of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob into their lives for a better tomorrow:
Michael R:
Before I came to know God as my redeemer, my life was a mess. I had filled it with all kinds of sin: alcohol, adultery and speaking evil of others along with many others.
I heard of the men's shelter and I was allowed to come into the program. There, I started reading the Bible and praying. I asked God to forgive me of my sins and he did. My life is turned around, I am feeling so much better and my health is improving.
I have found peace in my heart and I find joy in working and being useful. It is on my heart to help people. I have a new foundation for my life in Christ and He gives me a sense of purpose and hope. I have had the great joy of being baptized in the name of Yeshua HaMashiah (Jesus the Christ)
I want to serve God with my life and with my music. My desire is to learn the Word of God and to live according to His word like with Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
I am grateful for Gene and the men’s shelter.
Alexander:
My whole life has been one of searching for pleasures and sin. When I was 27 I became an alcoholic. My life became a living hell and I was continuously drunk. I was arrested and placed in jail. After I got out of jail, there was no change and I continued to drink and live in sin.
I got involved in adultery and my wife left me. It was not long after that I was arrested again and put in jail and there I realized there was no hope and no help. Then I thought about God and what I had heard that that He has never forsaken us. I prayed, crying out to God, asking Him to forgive me and the sins in my life. God forgave me and I felt a peace and a calm.
When I was released, I asked Gene and Sasha (one of the men helping Gene in the street ministry) and they told me about the men’s shelter. They allowed me to come live there. God is performing miracles and I am in reconciliation with my wife and I want to restore our family. I am free from alcohol and cigarettes. I give praise to our Savior Yeshua. I want to devote my life to serve Him.
