Gary's Testimony John 3:16 mini video clip If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9 & 10 NKJV

God IS Love

Prior to my conversion in 1991, my religious background was that of being raised in a Roman-Catholic home. I attended church on a regular basis with my parents and older brother Michael. I continued to attend church

until my teen years and it was then that I quit going to church all together. For the next 15 years I lead a life of being a pothead and a boozer among other things. In December of 1990 I had proposed a New Year's resolution to my wife Lora that we should start attending church. To this day she says it was my idea. Anyway, we started attending a non-denominational church in the Tampa Bay area and I have never been the same! My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has transformned me into a new person and I am so thankful.

After going on a mission’s trip to Bogota, Colombia in 1993, God has opened a door for me in the form of a part-time business selling emeralds. The Colombian Emerald is the premier emerald of the world. Who would ever have thought that Roz

"It's not what you're going through, but HOW you're going through it. It's not what you have, but what you can HANDLE!" --Wellington Boone

the former drug dealer is an emerald dealer? It’s mind blowing.

As you can see I am very excited at what God is doing in my life. God has supernaturally changed many areas of my life and the process of santification is on going. From living a life of no hope, God has given me eyes to see Him and to experience His love. It is amazing to me how blind I was prior to my conversion to Jesus Christ. After being involved in evangelism for many years, it is not hard for me now to see why people reject God. All I have to do is look back at where I came from.


If you are reading this and are not a Christian I urge you to consider where will you spend eternity? God loves you so very much and longs to have a personal relationship with you. In Revelations 3:20 Jesus says,

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with Him, and He with Me."

Open the door of your heart and allow Christ's love to saturate your inner most being. You will never be the same!

In His Love,
Gary
