ABOUT ME (Derek)

From the time that I was (27) years old, I have lived a life of anger, bitterness, resentment, rage and brokenness. I have lived a life of excuses and I have lived a life of blaming others and never accepting the responsibilities and consequences of my own actions. At the age of (27) I attempted suicide, the feelings of worthlessness, inadequacies, and loneliness were more than I could live with. I was driving across the Pennsylvania Turnpike at 4:00 in the morning (3) days prior to the suicide attempt and I distinctively recall such a feeling of loneliness that I “made a pact with the devil.” Speaking out loud while driving, I remember stating that I would “sell my soul to the devil” if only I could not be lonely anymore and I could have someone in my life to have a relationship with; at the time, it was the most broken moment of my life. After the suicide attempt, I was diagnosed with Manic Depressive Disorder along with Bi-Polar Disorder. Over the course of (25) years I have turned and experimented with alcohol and drugs. I have turned and experimented with promiscuity, and I was given all of the money that someone who was single would want or make; lies, cheating, hurting others just to benefit myself, and selfishly taking all that I can in living “Of This World'' - but I assure you that nothing has ever filled the void that I have had in my life. From the age of (27) God has placed a Calling in my life that I have ALWAYS been quick to refuse and walk away from. I am (52) years old now. Just short of (4) years ago while living in Arizona I was diagnosed with not only AFIB, but AFIB RVR and I was also diagnosed with a failing Mitral Valve Disease Disorder in the lower chamber of my heart that cannot be repaired. At best - with treatment, the Medication will extend my life expectancy to (5) years. In May of 2023, I was admitted into the Hospital for AFIB RVR and Heart Failure. While in the Hospital, I Coded and I had to be revived twice. It was after I had been Revived the second time that I vividly remember looking at the corner of the ICU Room and Bearing Witness to an Angel. With every fiber of who I was, I truly knew that this was the Angel of Death and it had come for me. I can attest to you just as surely as I sit here and share this that Hell IS REAL. An Angel that was short, with a chubby face, bright, young with more of a “baby face”, short naturally curly blonde hair, rosy cheeks, I could not make out the clothes. It was then that I had been given a Miracle of COMPLETE Peace. There are no words that I could possibly use to describe what happened. There were no more feelings of anger, bitterness, resentment, rage, or brokenness. In an INSTANT, It was comparable to a concentrated Nuclear Blast; a Ground Zero experience of Peace., that I am STILL Blessed with today. At the end of last year, November 2023, I was back in the hospital again for my heart. Before being Discharged - I was given a CT Scan to ensure that I did not have Blood Clots. (Standard procedure for AFIB patients.) The Doctors called me and notified me that test results had shown no Blood Clots BUT had also shown what they believed was a 60% chance of Lung Cancer in my Right Frontal Lobe; there were (2) Masses, and as quickly as possible the Doctors wanted a PET Scan and possibly a Biopsy. I could do nothing but Pray. I could NOT Pray for Healing. I could NOT Pray for Negative test results. I could NOT Pray for myself. The ONLY thing that I COULD Pray for was for God’s Will to be done and that I could ONLY trust in God’s Will and in God’s purpose for everything that was happening. After the PET Scan was completed, a few days went by and I received the call from my Doctor that the results were ready. As I spoke with her in the office and she reviewed my PET Scans, she then informed me that there was absolutely no signs remaining of the suspected Cancer, the (2) Masses were gone and there was no explanation - all of it was gone. I have been set Free from the Bondage of the Bi-Polar Medications, the Antidepressant Medications, the Antipsychotic Medications, the Anxiety Medications. The ONLY Medication that I now take is for my heart. It was at THIS particular moment that I answered the Calling that God had placed in my life (25) years ago. I walked away from a Career making 110K a year to “Follow Him” as an Evangelist. I know that there are those that will NOT understand this. I know that there are those that will NOT agree with this. I know that there are those who will DOUBT. I know that there are those who FEAR this Witness and Testimony, and struggle with this Witness and Testimony BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY DAYS THAT I DO. I know that God has chosen me. I know that my Witness can be used to help a particular person to come back to Him. God does NOT need me. I am deserving of nothing, especially from Him. I know that I am to use what I have and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through me to ONLY Glorify His name; to have the ability to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have not heard it before or with those who have not yet decided for Christ in such a compelling way that the person who HEARS can decide to accept Christ as Lord and Savior; to demonstrate the love of God and His compassion for others; to reach out to more people, help them, disciple them, and share the word of Hope and Salvation through Lord Jesus, and get closer to God and become part of Him. It is a true Spiritual Walk, a Passion for God's Glory, a Love for the Lost, a Prayerful Life, and the Desire To Please God.

ABOUT ME (Alexis)

I was once lost in the darkness of depression, loneliness, anger and brokenness, but through the grace of God, I found my way back into the light. His deliverance saved me from the depths of despair and filled me with a renewed sense of purpose. It is now my mission to pay forward the love and compassion that Christ has shown me in my darkest moments.

Through prayer, intercession, and speaking healing into the lives of others, I strive to be a vessel of God's grace and redemption. I bear witness to the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice and share the hope that His promises offer. I am humbled by the abundance of blessings that have been bestowed upon me, despite my unworthiness.

In (Matthew 6:25-34), Christ teaches us not to worry about tomorrow, for God will provide. This scripture resonates deeply with me, as I have experienced firsthand the faithfulness of God in my own life. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve others and spread the message of hope and restoration that I have received.

Therefore each of you must out off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of ONE body"
