Several days ago, I received a lovely letter from a couple, Jesse and Marcia, who live in the northeast...
We have been corresponding for several years, even though we only write each other about once every six months.
My friends shared a good report with me about how God is working in their lives. I was also encouraged to learn that my story of hope, redemption and forgiveness is being used to help other people find their way out of darkness, and safely into the loving arms of Jesus Christ.

She immediately called police and told them what she did, saying she had no control, like a 'demon' was controlling her. I sent her your testimony. You know, your testimony is so important, David. It is going to reach so many people who feel so rejected and like no one could possibly understand them. "This may sound funny, but just like garbage can be used to make compost for fertilizer, the garbage of our past, surrendered into God's hands, though He washes us clean, can be used to bring forth fruit in other people's lives."
