A few years ago my husband and I discovered in the ground floor of our house that termites had caused some considerable damage to the wooden structure. Over time I started to get more and more worried. We asked several professionals to check it out and to give us a quote on fixing the problem. Unfortunately the quotes were very high reaching far beyond...
When I bought that car I could only afford to buy it because I had received a sum of money as a gift. In my eyes it had been the perfect car: a VW station wagon with enough room for my friends, luggage and often tools for my trade. I loved it. I did not have savings and was only on relatively small wages from a 4 day per week job. I was devastated. Also here I have to say that at the time I was a young Christian not knowing much about God’s providence. My mind was going wild and I started planning to ride my push bike again. ..
Five months after we arrived in Melbourne, our youngest son Ted had a near drowning accident in our swimming pool, which left him severely disabled with cerebral palsy, totally stiff, bent backwards, crying in a high pitched voice with one epileptic fit after the other. It was absolutely heart rendering.
In my prayers I prayed specifically about the salary, and asked God to provide me with a new job, with a salary of 10,000 Russian Roubles (this was in 2003). My salary at that time was less than half-as-much, and this request seemed impossible for me at first, when I started to pray.
In October 2011 our family went on a holiday with our caravan. A terrible accident happened and if it had not been for God’s protection none of us would be here now to tell the story of how God saved our lives. Click on the video link if you want to hear the whole story and see some photographs.
I began my search with much prayer, but it seemed that in Australia and especially in Canberra, where there are lots of public service jobs, you need to be an Australian citizen. After a few weeks of looking around, not finding much and getting a little desperate.
I would like to share with you how the Lord has blessed me since I moved to Poland as a missionary. Before leaving Germany to move to Szczecin with my wife, I sent some job applications to Poland. As my Polish wasn’t fluent at the time I was hoping to find a job as a German speaker.
I would like to tell you about my work here in Australia and how the Lord looks after me to provide lovely clients at the right time slots - and answers prayer continuously...
I would like to tell you how God protected our grandson’s life in a miraculous way. Jye was only a few months old when friends from church, offered to give us a little break and to look after Jye for a few days.
When our church started a missionary work in Lyon, my husband and I were the first to go. During this time, God really cared for us in many miraculous ways...
I would like to testify about how GOOD God is and that we are never to give up hope. Several years after my conversion I was reconciled with my dad who was an alcoholic. Through Jesus Christ I could forgive him and met up with him from time to time...
I kept asking and trying to get my old position back until one day, when I was praying, the Lord reminded me of the scripture in ISAIAH 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." I suddenly realised, that instead of trusting the Lord and letting him work things out for me I was trying to do this myself...
I was hoping to work as a housekeeper in a very big house and also as a piano teacher from home. I had no idea however where I would find these jobs in our neighbourhood, so I just put up some advertisements on local notice boards. I waited for months but no one responded.
It was an early Sunday evening, and the motorway was quite busy with lots of cars and buses. All of a sudden there was a big bang, and then our car started to shake and the tail started to fishtail. I tried to get the car under control but it only got worse.
When working in a repair shop for Brass and Wood Wind Instruments we needed to get some business going and started repairing some old instruments that were never picked up and stored in a neighbours cellar. Would we be in for a surprise...
As I started my apprenticeship in 2005 in Frankfurt, I never expected that the next nine years were so intensive and life changing. One year later, I got baptized and Spirit-filled and a new life in Christ started, the old life was gone forever and every sin was forgiven. A few years later the final exams came up....
I managed to save up some money and eventually went to Australia for 6 months to help out on our church farm. About two weeks after arriving there, I received a large sum of money from my tax return, which came to me as a big surprise….
About 2 months after passing my test I got a message from my Dad saying that both he and my Mum would like to support me during my studies and transferred money every month. He did not know anything about my desire to buy a car. At the same time…..
As soon as I started praying, God started working and a lot of miracles happened. One day, when I was on my way to work, nearly anywhere I looked, I saw the word ‘Berlin'! By then it was obvious for me that God wanted me to leave Vienna and set off for Berlin.
Shortly after I got saved in 2007, I was not allowed to attend the meetings anymore due to my parents. To that time the vision to come to Australia one day grew in me. I wanted to visit the brethren there in order to get to know them better and to get trained as a Christian.
In 1993 I had to close my publishing company because of debts of about 35,000 Euro. Once I took God at His Word, my finances were blessed in all kinds of ways and I often did not know where all the money to pay back my debts came from...
