Testimonies:
“I was not saved before I started going to Awesome God Church. In 2012, I was living with my boyfriend. I did a paper route in the morning and worked as a housekeeper during the day. My boyfriend worked the night shift at a factory but we only had one car at the time. I would take the car to work during the day and my boyfriend would take the bus to work. I would have to go to bed very early in the evening and then get up around 11:30 pm to pick up my boyfriend from work at midnight. I would then go back to bed and get back up at 3:30 am to do my paper route and go to work afterwards- it was an exhausting schedule. One night I was driving to pick up my boyfriend and I was particularly tired and grumpy. There was no music on the radio stations I listened to which made me even more grumpy. So, I just started randomly flipping through radio stations. The only station I could find with music was KLove, which is a Christian radio station. I kept it on that station that morning while doing my paper route and I liked it so I just started listening to KLove all the time. A couple of weeks later I started to feel like I wanted to go to church. The only church I knew was a very large non denominational church that was on my paper route. So one Sunday, as I finished my route I thought to myself- Next Sunday I’m going to go to bed early so I can go to that church’s Sunday service-. Later that day, my sister called me and told me about this awesome church she and her now husband had gone to that morning, Awesome God Church. Her husband’s parents had been going there so they went. She told me how wonderful the Pastor was and how much she had liked the service. She asked me to go with her the following Sunday, I said yes and I am so glad I did. Within a year of going to the Church, Pastor Kerry did the Salvation prayer during one of the services and that is when I asked Jesus into my life and received salvation. God has done good things in me and my life and He is continuing to do good works. Before I was saved, I really liked to party and drink and all of the crazy things that go along with that. However, God has changed that in me and I no longer even have the desire to drink. I have not had a drink in about 2 ½ years. In December of 2015 God also really gave me a deeper revelation of His love for me by bringing to remembrance how He brought me to Him and showing me that even when I was a lost and wandering sinner, He loved me enough to pursue me.”

“2015 has been quite an exciting year for me. God has broken many chains in my life. When I heard Pastor Kerry teach on a new beginning, I accepted it as a big step for me and it took me out of the baggage and chains of grief. Now I have a new hope and life for myself in Jesus Christ. I am no longer chasing someone else’s salvation but my own freedom. My walk with Christ is mine alone. Speaking in tongues is no longer a doubt in my mind. Praise to my God, I no longer feel the burden of being a single parent because I have let go of control. I have changed myself knowing and understanding that I cannot change the children but only myself. I trust that God would take care of them. God has given me an amazing desire to help others by sharing their burdens of the many faces of grief. There is power in the name of Jesus and He has come to bring comfort and peace. The biggest lie that I believed was that I didn’t deserve God’s goodness and love. I have loved all our teachings and the love that Awesome God Church family has for each other. I have never had such a yearning for more of God than in 2015 and rejoice to be more in Christ in 2016. A big shout out and thank you to Pastor Kerry and Linda for their obedience to God and looking after their sheep. Thank you God for all your blessings you have showered me with.”

“I have understood my relationship with God more. I had always heard that God is Father but could never understand that for myself. I understand now that God is my Heavenly Father and accepts me for who I am. I also understand His grace more and that I don’t have to hold on to anything I have done, but just receive from Him and walk in His love. One night while in my bedroom, I saw an angel in my spirit. The angel was dressed in a white robe and gold sash while holding a staff. I felt a peace come over me and knew that the angel would be there throughout the night. This last year, I have also improved physically. My right leg was ¾ inch shorter than my left. In my shoe, I had to wear a leg brace and built in lift. Now I only have ¼ inch insert inside a normal shoe. Pastor Kerry has taught and guided me in yielding to the Holy Spirit to minister to others. I thank God for what He has and will continue to do in my life.”
