Carl Giordano’s Testimony Before Congress

By Carl Giordano

In testimony not schedule by Congress but definitely planned by the Lord, Carl gave an unusual testimony.  This testimony shows how God works when he has a willing, obedient servant.  Does God speak to his servants today? Does God enable what he wants to happen?  Learn the answers to these questions in Carl's testimony.


Eternity in the Heart of Sydney

By Nigel A. Chapman

What was the meaning of the single word that up to 2 billion people saw linger on Sydney's Harbor Bridge after the Year 2000 New Year's Eve fireworks faded out?  Why, out of all the New Year's celebrations broadcast around the clock that day, did this one make you stop and think?


BREAKING POINT

By Vivienne Tsouris

The true story of dramatic release from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) a story of cruel and debilitating spiritual oppression but also the wonder of receiving release and redemption through God's love and grace into the situation, leading to newness of life. A powerful presentation in contemporary dance choreographed and performed by Vivienne Tsouris, which has ministered to many afflicted sufferers "A sermon in dance".


BREAKING THE (MORMON) SILENCE

By Henk Kamsteeg, Publisher/Chief Editor of Challenge Weekly

Cindy Bauer was born into Mormonism and was an active leader in the Mormon church until she came to know Jesus.  Read the story of how one who was deeply committed to Mormonism came to know the truth and be freed from heresy.


The Life That Wins

by Charles G. Trumbull

In this powerful testimony written in 1911, Charles Trumbull shares how his life was finally transformed into a living relationship with Christ in him.  He shares the emptiness of his prior diligent, busy Christian life -- until he came to realize that it was Jesus Christ and him only that he needed -- the indwelling Jesus who would life his life through him.  A powerful, needful testimony.  Enjoy and be challenged!


THREE TESTIMONIES BY CARL GIORDANO

Again Carl shows how simple faithfulness can allow God to fulfill his purposes.  In two instances, Carl simply, but faithfully, gave out tracts.  In both cases God used the tracts to save the people.  In another, Carl shows how a simple word from God he shouted to a druggie caused the person's life to be transformed by God.


Little Trouble Maker

by Carl Giordano

Why was Max such a little trouble maker?  Why did such hatred come from his eyes?  What a transformation when confronted and the demons cast out!


Testimony of Mehrunisa

by Her Church

Mehrunisa came to the church for prayer for her daughter.  She was converted.  Though serious problems beset her, the LORD was more than sufficient for her needs.  A true story about a Muslim conversion.


My Story

by Vincent McCann

Vincent's story is unusually dark.  It is a challenging view of the spirit world and what can happen to people who begin to dabble in seemingly innocent occult practices.  Be prepared for a look at the powers of the occult.  Rejoice in the greater powers of our Lord Jesus.


BARBARA WILLIAMS' HEALING

By Barbara Williams

Barbara had bad knees, neck, and joints for a long time.  Then she fell on a street in Peru, further exacerbating her condition.  She wrote friends for prayer, but received her healing as she sent the message.  We have a GREAT GOD!


HEATHER MERCER:  A "SIMPLE SERVANT" SHARES HER STORY

By Janet Chismar (Religion Today Editor)

Heather was one of the Christian women imprisoned in Afghanistan, about which there has been much world-wide publicity.  See how our God used this experience for good in her life.


WORLD CUP FINALS -- 2002

By Abraham George

There is hardly anything more important in sports to much of the world than the World Cup Finals.  The behavior of the Brazilian team should be an encouragement to Christians everywhere.


BARRY R. SMITH

By Andrew Smith

This is a short testimony by the son of Barry Smith, Evangelist, after the news of Barry's death in England while on a preaching tour there.  He was a faithful man of God who has gone to be with his Lord. 


THE ANA MENDEZ STORY

By Ana Mendez

Does the Holy Spirit still work in Christians in supernatural ways?  Read the story of Ana Mendez and you will hear truly supernatural events resulting from a person giving herself wholly to Jesus Christ as her Lord!


Letting Children Speak for Themselves

By Alanna Krause

Justice is not always meted out by the courts.  This testimony shows the problems children can have when they become the pawns in their parent's battles and how the court system may totally ignore their needs and refuse to listen to them.


IN PURSUIT OF THE ESOTERIC

By Jeannette Haley

Jeannette recites the many paths she took, even believing herself to be a Christian, into dark places, always in search of knowledge.  She reveals how often she was lured into areas of demonic activity.  There is great wisdom here for those who have dabbled (or worse) in the occult, and how to be free from it.


A TESTIMONY

By Dr. Harvey Schneider

Harvey tells of his experience in Mexico, how his van stalled numerous times, and how he was delivered.  His final experience made his realize the Lord's promise, that he will always be with us and never forsake us.


Labor camp survivor 

By Colin E. Suchland and Kimberly Long

The authors tell a short story of one of the surviving victims of the Nazi holocaust.  How did this girl survive the horrors?


David Hogan -- Radical Christianity

(From FridayFax, April 11, 2003)

A far cry from western, soft Christianity, David Hogan has found a way to reach the lost of the highlands of Mexico.  God has responded with an outpouring of his power and gifts.  It is RADICAL and effective.


DAVID BRYANT REFLECTS ON BILL BRIGHT FOR THE NPC

By David Bryant

David gives us a peek behind the curtain to see a man who is wholly sold out to Jesus Christ as his Lord.  This is a lovely, personal look.  Enjoy.


PETER DEREK V. PRINCE (1915-2003)

Author Unknown

Derek Prince's memory will go on in the Kingdom for a very long time.  His work as a Bible teacher is well-known world-wide.  This short review of his life is a testimony to how God prepares us for service long before he uses us.


ONE FISH THAT JUMPED OUT OF THE RIVER

By Matt D. (Sussex, UK)

Matt tells his story of his spiritual life while under the influence of "TB" (Toronto Blessing).  Contrary to the glowing reports often circulated, consider this man's insider's view which depicts quite a different side -- one of disillusionment, disappointment, and defeat.  His story is worth reading.


Francis Asbury

Author Unknown

This story is told of a man who came to America, who left his family, who served others wholeheartedly during his mission to bring the Gospel.  The fruit of his labor was great.  It is an inspiring story that should encourage us all.


MY WILDERNESS WALK

By Cathy Morris

Cathy gives us a look into very private moments of her life.  We read of times of rebellion, times of great fellowship, times of loneliness and the wilderness experience.  There is much for us to learn and empathize with as we share her walk.


GOD'S WILL

By Steve Saint

Steve relates his life as the son of the famous Nate Saint who was one of five missionaries speared to death by South American natives.  He tells about the reception he got as the son of the missionary hero and how God was to lead his own life.  It is a worthwhile read that we can each apply to our own lives.


RICHARD'S HOME-GOING

By Janet Lord-Rose

Richard Lord had severe physical problems for which he was treated for many years.  He had unceasing pain; terrible side affects from the treatment.  But he remained cheerful and totally trusting in the Lord Jesus.  The story tells of the result of all this on his children.


Spiritual Lessons on Victory and Defeat

By Coach Mike Holmgren as told to Greg Asimakoupoulos

Coach Holmgren has an enviable record as a coach.  How he accomplished what he did and maintained a strong relationship with the Lord and his family is a worthy story.


THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF PISTOL PETE MARAVITCH

By Wayne Federman and Marshall Terrill

Pistol Pete Maravitch was a wildly popular, extremely talented basketball player.  This short excerpt tells his story of success, but failure.  He reached the heights of his sport, but was left unsatisfied in his personal life, until he finally found a saving faith in the Lord Jesus.  It is a special story likely to trigger tears.
