Hi Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have just found out about the truth from knowing Jenny. I\u2019ve been looking for it for the past 15 years. I was brought up in a Catholic church, but by the age of 26 I realised the Catholic church is not the truth of God. So, I started searching somewhere else for the truth. I was then taught the \u201cget saved\u201d doctrine. Straight away, I thought \u201coh, this is too good to be true\u201d. Then a friend of mine was attending an \u201cAssemblies of God\u201d church. He told me you are not born again until you are baptised by the holy ghost, and you speak in tongues. So for about a year and 2 months, I prayed and fasted to God for that to happen. One day I was laying in my room and I felt the holy ghost come over me in power from top to bottom, and I started to speak in tongues. I was really very excited about what had happened, but I just didn\u2019t know where God was working. I started attending the Worldwide Church of God and their teaching was that Christianity was not the truth. I quite liked what they were teaching because I could see there was a lot of truth in what they said. But they did not believe in the baptism of the holy ghost, and speaking tongues. Altogether, I wasn\u2019t fully convinced they were teaching the full truth of God. After some time I just left the church and I started looking for the truth and praying about it. Then I began attending the Anglican church for a while but I well knew that was not the truth \u2013 I only attended because of my ex-wife. After that I didn\u2019t attend any more churches \u2013 I was just praying for God to lead me to the truth. Then a year and half later, after working with Jenny for 6 months \u2013 in the last week or so of my work there \u2013 we began talking about religion, which we\u2019d never talked about before. She started telling me about your teaching. I was completely blown away by it! I asked her for some more material, which she gave me. By reading the first tract, I knew straight this is where God is working \u2013 this is the truth! Since then I\u2019ve been listening to all the CD\u2019s, and reading tracts, blogs, and the TFT\u2019s, and watching Livestream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Livestream is just amazing! You can tell you have been led by Jesus Christ because you don\u2019t know what is going to happen next. There is no routine or format, and it\u2019s very exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was really dying spiritually; maybe I was on my last breath, until God led me to talk to Jenny. I feel like I\u2019m floating on clouds since God did all this. I\u2019ve never been so happy! I\u2019m so happy to be taught good spiritual food.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have many questions but so far I\u2019ve been getting answers from all the CD\u2019s I\u2019ve heard. I hope it would be okay if I have questions I can\u2019t find answers too if I could ask you.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to come and visit in the future, if it would be okay with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you very much for sticking to the truth, and I\u2019m also thankful for your father for not wavering from the truth before he passed.<\/span><\/p>\n

May God bless you and your family.<\/span><\/p>\n
