Testimony

Dear Friends...

Greetings and Blessing in the name of the Lord!

I would like to share with you a capsule version of my testimony and the power of God to restore.

I was Born Jewish, French and English. Adopted by Polish-Catholic, Pennsylvania-Dutch Methodist parents. I believe I was destined to be Born Again.

Living in and out of orphanages and foster homes and loosing our mother at an early age, my sister and I were adopted into a physically and verbally abusive and trouble plagued home leaving both my sister and I with great hurts, rejection and very low self esteem. My sister left home when I was 15 and for 30 years we had no contact. God restored our relationship!

I was married at age 19 1/2 and six years later my husband deserted us thus thrusting me into being a single parent with 2 children aged 3 1/2 and 4 1/2. (Incidentally they are my pride and joy).

Throughout my life there were various trials and problems. I lost 10% of the vision in my right eye due to a blow to the head. There were two physical attempts on my life and a third was a threat of a Mafia contract, but God’s power proved victorious over death and I was privileged with leading the man who wanted me dead to the Lord.

Having experienced much hurt, rejection, and having a hunger and longing to be loved, in 1973 Jesus the author of love came into my life (I became Born Again). God said He would never leave me nor forsake me. Once the reality of His promises set in and I forgave all those who had hurt, rejected and betrayed me, then the wonderful healing manifested.

In Great Joy I cried to God "Lord I will serve you for the rest of my life, and so far that promise has not only been ongoing but ever increasing.

So I would like to ask you to help me fulfill His commission of "Go Ye into all the World and preach the gospel and set the captives free. I am asking you to prayerfully consider this ministry for your area.

I would also like to make it clear up front that I am willing to minister anywhere, anytime the Lord opens the door for a Love Offering (there is no set fee) or however your church or ministry is led. Also when traveling out of the area, travel expenses and accommodations (private homes or other arrangements) will be greatly appreciated.

It is my prayer that I may be used of God to reach the masses and share the Love and Transforming Power of Jesus Christ

Love,

Jeri
