Testimonies

Your testimony matters. What you have been through prior to where you are now, either has made you stronger or weaker. My testimony, has made me stronger.
I have learned so many new things since I became a believer.
I am only 16 years old and have faced death more times than I should have. I have faced more pain than I should have. But here I am, alive and breathing, I am saved.

Feel free to share your testimony. If you have a testimony you want to share, I am here to listen, and I will share my testimony in return.
God bless. You are loved.

How much can you take? The Cycle and the will power to break it.

Their are examples of domestic violence in the Bible. Several incidents of horrid rape, and abuse. This shows that this cycle has been going on since the beginning of time.
How much can you take when you see this domestic violence happening, or even when its happening to you??
Take caution if your in this situation because it is a very difficult situation to get out of. But to help break the cycle, we need to rely on God to strengthen us to get out of this situation.

This cycle of abuse needs to be broken, whether its within the family, or in a relationship.
If you are in this situation, or know someone in this situation, help break the cycle and speak out and do something about it.

You may think your not strong enough, but you could have the will power you never even knew you would find in yourself.

Operation Nehemiah "Re-building what they cannot rebuild!"

My name is Mystie; I’ve been an active member in First Baptist Church Belen Youth Group since October.  We were reading through Nehemiah the past couple of weeks.

This book of the Bible has really spoken to me. I’m going to start with telling you about my dream. Dreams are not generally remembered, but this one I remember vividly.

In my dream I had a charity, there was a name for it and even a slogan. It was called Operation Nehemiah and the slogan was, “Re-building what they cannot rebuild!”

This charity was for the victims of domestic violence. The families, the children.

It was odd for me to remember this dream, so my Granny and I talked about it and decided God was trying to tell me something.

He wants me to operate Operation Nehemiah.

I’m going to tell you a little bit about why I was chosen by God to help him in this task.

If you remember, this will be an organization for the victims of domestic violence. I have a very intimate past with domestic violence. I had it with growing up, and in a relationship. Domestic violence is very real and very dangerous.

So now, I will be helping God as he works through me with Operation Nehemiah. We will be focusing a lot on the children, but will still focus on families.

If any of you are willing to help, I would be glad to have it.

I cannot rebuild what they cannot rebuild, only God can do that, he just wants us to spread the word.

Some items we will be taking:

v     Various sizes of socks and underwear for boys, girls, men and women.

v     Teddy Bears.

v     Comfort Blankets.

v     Coloring Books and crayons.

v     Magazines for men and women. (Appropriate please!)

v     Jewelry.

v     Perfumes and lotions.

v     Playing cards.

v     Various Projects will take place throughout the year.

We will be accepting other items; this is just a list of a few.

Also we will be accepting money donations!

This is my overview on Operation Nehemiah. This is something I am dedicated to and can relate too. I believe that's why I was chosen for this project.
