I listen to your podcast sometimes while driving to work and used to watch it on my laptop while cooking dinner. Being back today was an amazing experience. I raised my hand when you asked if anyone was having troubles without having any idea that fellow members would come put their arms around me and pray, and I completely broke down. My husband and I have been struggling through fertility treatments without success so far and its been a very emotional time for me, so when you opened up to Samuel and spoke of Hannah I couldn’t help but believe that you were speaking straight to me. It’s truly amazing the power of God and when he really shows himself to you in your life. I’m sad I’ve not been attending for so long but today is the first day of a forever for me. I will be attending Wednesday and Sunday services from here on out. I loved everything about being there, the music, the inspiration, the warm fellow church goers around me. Thank you for being such a lasting presence with me even though I haven’t been there physically in so long.” - Annonymus Our Annual Valentine’s Dinner Fundraiser is right around the corner!
