Alfreeda

by Darcy



As I was standing at the literature table at the Friday night spot in Newark, I was showing one of the kids Austin's testimony sheet. He took one for his mom and the lady next me ask me if it were really my husband, like he was a celebrity or something. She began to read his testimony and was surprised by what she was reading. I shared with her some of his past and how now he is living for God. She was excited and kept saying, "Well if God can change him then He can change me." She told me that she uses drugs every couple weeks but she wants to stop completely. She really believed that God could change her as she cried out to God while we prayed together. Afterward, she spoke with a leader who was able to connect her with Streetlight Mission in Elizabeth, where she could get help getting clean from drugs.

Ya, while Kristina, Carol and I were reading all of the worker's testimony sheets, we couldn't believe they were the same people!! God can sure transform lives. Cool about Alfreeda!

That's awesome to hear!!! We need to vocally celebrate life changes more often! It's always neat how God uses our own stories to touch the lives of others!!!
