Some wonderful, encouraging testimonies here: thank you all!
I put mine, "From Sheer Terror to Firm Faith", on the testimonies thread @ the Charismatic Movement board
I see now that there's a general testimony board that could use more stories too
www.HeInvites.com is a specialist testimony site with thousands of stories of how God has turned all manner of trauma & tragedy into triumph & deliverance
They welcome more stories always
They have a handy page of tips, (inc to read how Paul testified on trial in Acts 26)
1 - What was your life like before you found faith in Christ?
2 - What drew you to put your faith & trust in Christ?
3 - How has your life changed as a result of trusting Christ?
They recommend a good balance between those 3 elements, as Paul did
"They overcame by the blood of Christ & the word of their testimony"
God bless!
