We encourage people to share their testimonies at Gospel Mission, and Randall Russell, one of the volunteers at the Mission and at The Lord's Rain downstairs, came forward and shared his recently. It's at the same time gut-wrenching and uplifting.
Testimonies are important: one can be skeptical and even cynical about the Bible and talk of miracles and the work of God, but you can't argue with a personal story. What's more, testimonies encourage others that they can have the same experience of salvation and transformation; and those who have already experienced that sometimes need to be reminded, themselves.
Since he gave this testimony, Randall has told me that even in the worst times, church was his refuge -- even for three hours a week -- and now he wants to go into Ministry, himself.
