Touching Testimonies
Some interesting people and testimonies Malcolm 20 Malcolm saw the need for forgiveness and saw it was a pure gift. Haven 15 Haven even looked better. Emone 18 Girl, I got saved and it is the best feeling in the world. Hope you soon do the same. Darius 15 He seemed determined. Beverly 22 Beverly got the whole picture
Jasmine 22 Jasmine saw the need and saw the answer.
Freddy 22 Freddy did not realize when he arrived at this event that his eternity would change. Sandra 31 Every church we know of is looking for someone like Sandra. Lupe 35 Her testimony sounds a little arrogant, but Lupe was very humble.
Matthew 17 This was either the start of God’s conviction or a new life in Christ.
Marisol 14 We asked what she was going to tell her friends.
Crystal 23 Man 45 The Lord may have touched an unwilling heart. Chelsey 13 Chelsey, while only 13, was carring a burden. Gloria 27 Gloria was a new person, but it was not a change she made, but God made it in her. That is her proof for the rest of her life that she was saved that day. Edgar 18 We should all tell our brothers and sisters. Regain that initial excitement. Caren 40 Dan 17 I like the way Dan put it. He got saved THROUGH all his sins. Charlotte 15 Jesus gave me the desire to tell someone I was saved from my sins and I going to heaven. Charolette knew who she needed to tell. Alejandro 28 I just know that Jesus can forgave me and gave a new life. I called on Jesus and just got saved. Alejandro had confidence in what Jesus did for him Boy 10-11 Boy said he was already saved. We gave him a tract and told him to give it to one of his friends who was not saved. He paused for moment, then turned to his mother wide eyed and said, "Murphy!" She nodded her head in agreement. Everyone knows of someone who needs to hear how Jesus saves from destruction and gives life. Church in Fort Worth A pastor came by the booth 5 or 6 years ago and saw what we were doing. He copied the idea to be and used at his Fall Festival (Halloween replacement). They stopped by this year to tell us they have seen many, many children and parents saved. Pastor and his wife were very thankful to the Lord. Teen Student Many bus loads of students came to the Texas State Fair. One boy was already saved. He said a teacher gave them a project for class to take some pictures of a booth or exhibit and work-up a presentation for class. He said he was going to explain how we used the 3 Doors and the booth to tell people how to be saved. Good for him. There is always another way to get the job done. Adela 52 Adela wanted to see how to be Born Again Mary Ann 42 Yes, that is what she put down. We kind of like that wording. "Safed" sounds like saved and safe. Jose 11 He was sent to get permission from his parents to hear the Gospel. 2 hours later he came with the whole family. Father, mother and 3 children asked the Lord to save them. Good job Jose. Sam 22 Good for Sam! Paul 57 It was his time to see it and the Lord did His job. Yesunia 26 Those of us that are already saved, know what she is talking about. Seferino 32 Deserrae 24 Carrie 37 Yesunia 26 Gabriel 17 Natalie 13 Kevin 14 Nathaly 20 Lizette 19 Briana 14 Deserrae 24 Reuben 45 Sin and guilt is an awful thing to carry around. Claudia 38 Claudia was mixing her Spanish and English, but was not confused about what happened. Indira 12 Isn't it something that a child of 12 can feel relieved of sin? Estrella 41 I wonder how long she had been looking for it. Hermelinda 36 Everyone gets a God-given joy when they meet Jesus. Isaac 16 Isaac understood! Karen 20 Karen knew where she was formerly going. Mary June 17 Not just received the Saviour, but FULLY! Lady (55+) who was certain she was lost "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher (not a sermonizer, but a lay witness)?" Romans 10:14 New Car Sales Manager Katlyn 15 Teen girls can be very expressive. Jacqueline 43 She was doubtful to start with, but wanted to know more. She got it. Olga, Jessica She told her mother how to be born again and as Olga prayed, Jessica did, too. Elsa 57 Elsa was skeptical, but wanted to hear how to be born again. After hearing she commented "What a beautiful story". She prayed and asked the Lord to save her and told Pat, "What a beautiful prayer". Erin Erin certainly understood what happened to her. Madison Bryant 41 This is the testimony of almost everyone who sees their sin forgiven and their Saviour livin'. Lisa 38 Lisa had taken Jesus for granted, now she has taken Him as her Personal Saviour. Falcon 17 Very profound for a 17 year old. Jeanette 22 It did not take much to show Jeanette, she was like a person waiting for a airplane: packed, and standing at the gate. Kristina 22 Kristina got her arms around what is difficult for many. The fact of being saved from all sin in the past and even those in the future. Not the commission of them but the judgment. Dale 14 Loreleen 18 I felt chills praying to Jesus. I've been born. Thank you Jesus. Amen Loreleen's father was with her. He had already been saved. As soon as the question was asked if they wanted to see it how to be saved, he immedi-ately said yes, knowing his daughter was not saved. Andrew 17 I listened to him explain about the reason we cannot save ourselves and must allow Jesus to be accepted as our personal Saviour. I have been saved. Andrew was walking around taking pictures and when he took mine I tried to charge him for it. Then we got in the groove and got him seated. Derek 12 - with older person I asked Jesus for a home in Heaven. Lacie 15 I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and let Him know that I want Him in my heart. Lacie knew what she needed. Raquel 58 I felt something - Whooo! When Raquel was trying to write on the back of her decision card what had happened to her, we said, "You just asked Jesus to save you, what happened to you when you did that?" She said, "I felt something, WHOOOO!" We told her to write that down and she did. We know salvation is not emotion, but it is a change that is experienced.
Austin 11 Pat had an 11 year old boy come by the booth who saw the 3 doors and wanted to know what "born again" meant. Since we don't seat children 12 and under for a witness without their parent's permission, Pat told him the story while he stood outside the booth. He listened closely, the whole time tightly clutching one or several dollars in his hand. She did not extend a prayer because of his age (the one thing that can get us kicked out of an event immediately is an irate parent). He left and in 10 minutes was back with a picture he had won at a dart game. He showed Pat. It was a picture whose likeness many assign to Jesus. You don't know what an impact this had on us. He had gone to play this dart game with dozens of pictures (Sponge Bob, Batman, Tweety Bird, etc) to win and he chose Jesus. It is doubtful he had heard much about Him prior to Pat's witness, but somehow and for some reason, he wanted THAT picture. He was very proud of it and assumed we would be, also. He then asked a question, we have never heard before (and we have heard 99.9% of them). He asked Pat, "Have you been into Jesus since you were a kid?" It seemed that he was wanting to know if it was possible that kids could be "into Jesus" or maybe wondering if he was the only kid who was "into Jesus". Pat was stunned! No one had ever asked that . She told him NO, but at the age of 28 she did get into Jesus when she got saved. She talked and then he walked off with his Jesus picture. The whole thing was so sweet and innocent; we have talked about it for days. It seemed that somehow, God got a hold of his imagination and gave him something that we cannot comprehend. One thing for sure, even after people leave the booth, the Spirit is still working. Laura 27 I accepted Jesus as my Saviour and was forgiven for my sins. Laura was sure about forgiveness. Tzi Tzi 13 All my sins have been forgiven for my past and future. Tzi Tzi seemed very earnest. Asked all the right questions. She was with her sister and mother. All 3 asked the Lord to save them. Koby 13 God let me go of all my sins. Koby and teens his age, even some younger, seem to express themselves in remarkable ways. Rosa 68 I believe in Jesus and now I know I am saved. Rosa seems to have found what she was looking for. Adelio 10 I felt like God went in my heart. Adelio was with his family, who all asked the Lord to save them. He seems to be another one of those kids with a unique way of saying what happened. Kristen 14 I prayed to God to repent of my sins so He could save me and I could have eternal life in Heaven with God. Kristen obviously had the seed planted and watered before coming to the both. Juan 37 I have been forgiven for my sin and I am saved. Juan realized he was a sinner and was forgiven. Lydia 19 Jesus made me feel good about myself and after prayer I felt relieved. Lydia had reason to not feel good, but when sin leaves, relief comes. Elias 12 (with parent) I prayed to always be in His hands. Elias was just 12, but knew of his need for eternal protection. Maria 38 Cristo me Perdono Maria was pardoned by Christ. Kyle 13 I trusted that Christ came down from heaven and died on the cross to pay for my sins. Kyle was only 13, but he got the message. Karen 50 Jesus came in my heart. Karen had some difficulties in expressing herself during the witness, but she was definite about salvation. She was also with her grandson who made a profession, too. Veronica adult Veronica was saved with her children. America 13 America got what her name's sake needs. A cure for sin. Blanca 23 Blanca expresses that from that moment on, she knows where she is going. Chris 6 Chris was with his mother. When she finished writing her testimony on the back of the decision card, he said he wanted to write something, too. He drew a cross and wrote, "God is good." Adelina 42 There is no freedom like being free of the imprisonment that you caused yourself. Irma 44 Irma knew she was saved and by whom. Steve 10 Steve was with his family. He knew his sins were gone. Mari 17 Knowing Jesus! Eric 15 Eric was grateful for us and the Lord. Glenda 20 Joel 27 Michael 19 God accepts every life given to Jesus. Jennifer 20 Cuauhtemoc 20 Eric 14 Eric knew he was rid of his sins. Nathan 18 What can take the place of Forgiveness??? Sandra over 21 Sandra saw it. Felisa 30 Don't know if Felisa got saved, but she was warned that an insincere prayer will not save. Juan 31 Juan did not mince his words, he was looking and we showed him thoroughly Sandra 16 Vanessa 31 Vanessa seemed to see things differently. Joe 24 Salvation is a great help for all of life. Laura 18 Juan 14 Juan was like the sailor who overheard the location of the buried treasure, then after the other mariners left, stayed on to receive the everlasting treasure himself. Phyllis 65 Jesus 22 Angelia
23 It is good to understand it. We hope Angelia actually got it. Logan 15 We thought these words were troubling for a 15 year old. Kendra 17 Erin 22 We feel most readers would be surprised how often this happens. Virginia 60 Most would be surprised how often this does not happened for people of this age. Hannah 18 It is difficult sometimes to realize that there are many at the age of 18 who would like to start their lives over. Sandra 48 Roberto 40
