Teen Testimonies

My name is Servanthood aka Jah Rhymes. I have felt the call
on my life to minister through Christian rap and reach out and
serve God's purpose within my generation just as David. I have
not always been saved. Before I got saved I was addicted to
pornography, I used profanity, listened to secular music. I
never had a whole lot of friends. I new of Jesus, but I just
wasn't ready. I had to make a change within my life. I got saved
at 16 years old, but I still had to rededicate my life to God.
Some times you may feel down and lost or worthless but is
there 24/7 to work you through now I'm about to reach out to
teen and share what God has done in my life. He can change
you know matter what. LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE AT THE ALTAR
I DARE YOU. AND SEE IF GOD DON'T MAKE A CHANGE IN
YOUR LIFE.

God heals you when you're broken!

"God heals you when you're broken," is one of my favorite phrases, and he has done just that! All my life I
had thought God wasn't important and there wasn't a need to go to church. Finally in the 7th grade, I gave in
and went to awanas with one of my friends. Something about that church just stuck with me and I couldn't
leave! After a couple months, I realized that the Christians had something that I didn't. I finally accepted
Jesus as my personal lord and savior. My life has been so much better in so many ways. It isn't always easy
being a Christian. Satan is always working to get you on his side. Just remain faithful and look to God for
help. Trust him completely! Please pray for Anna Smith and I as we do bible-study at our high school where
there are so many people looking for the truth, and we have it! "Our God is an awesome God," always
remember that!!!

Well, I have been going through a battle these past 7 1/2 months. I started dating a guy that was a Mormon.
I didn't find that out until the second day we started dating. When I asked what church he went to, and he
told me, I knew I had made a mistake. I'm Not saying that I don't like people of other religions, but it clearly
says in the Bible that you would be unequally yoked. Not only that, but God told me over and over again that
it wasn't His will for me, and all I did was push it back in my head and try not to let it get to me. That didn't
work too well. God still was dealing with me about it. I finally told Gary that I didn't feel right dating him
anymore and that I prayed about it. Well, him, not being a Christian or my same religion, didn't understand...
and I gave in to him and we still dated. After we went through that part, I felt so down because instead of
doing what God wanted me to do, I did exactly what the devil wanted me to do...fall back to where I was. But
when summer came around and we got out of school, I wasn't able to talk to him or see him because of our
busy schedule! It made me stronger and it gave me more strength, especially since I wasn't gonna be seeing
him much. But the devil was trying his hardest to make me stumble again because I couldn't get in touch with
Gary to break up with him. I finally put my foot on the rock and told the devil to get behind me. June 22nd
Gary called me and I broke up with him and the greatest peace came over me! I was relieved that I have
finally did it! I know the Lord has great plans for me and you too, just TRUST THE LORD and he will give you
rest/peace! I hope if you go through the same situation as me, that you'll just listen to God's will and trust
him!!!

I thank God for what he has done for me. He helped my dad and he helped me through hard times. But I
thank God for all he’s done. He got me going to church and my dad and I thank you Anna for praying for me.
Will you pray for me? He helped my dad about smoking and drinking. So please pray. Thanks.

I've been going through some stuff lately and I just thought that posting my testimony might help other
people. I was saved when I was young...about 6. I didn't really understand it though. Through the years I
grew further and further away from God and I got involved with SI and became depressed and had thoughts
of suicide. Then the youth group at my grandma's church announced a youth camp and I decided to go (to
get away from home, I had a pretty bad home life). Anyway, our pastor was the pastor that preached there
every year. The first night we were there he preached about hell. It was then that I realized that I didn't know
where I was going...I was scared, basically. So I got saved that night. It was awesome for a while...then I went
through some times where I thought I was being too serious of a Christian, and I believe that I was. Well I've
been struggling again with some stuff that I dealt with before I was saved and now I need God more than
ever. I know this may sound a bit disjointed, but I just needed to let this all out. Thanks for listening.


Name: Ashley

On the way back from the Youth Leadership Conference, we were about 1 hour from home. It had been a
very long day since we where coming from Georgia and going to Virginia. We started going up Fancy Gap
Mountain, and our van started going slower and slower so we pulled over on the side of the interstate. When
we did the van started to smoke a little, nothing major. The temp. gauge for the transmission was very high,
the transmission had overheated. Crystal our youth leader tried to start the van, after about 15 minutes of
just sitting there. The van started but died. We all decided that we needed to pray for the van to start
because it was about 11:30 p.m. and we all had school the next day. Well we started to pray and the Holy
Spirit just fell and we all started crying and just worshipping the lord. After about thirty minutes of very hard
prayer Crystal tried to start the van again and it started and the temp. gauge was where it was supposed to
be. We started home again. The whole way home we prayed, cried and praised the lord for what he had
done. We went around the van and told our burdens we have been carrying, and just had a good worship
service in the back of that van. When we got home we were so on fire for god that all we could do was to go
in the house and pray. We prayed for about 30 minutes non-stop. Ashley Hedgepeth's Grand father owned
the van. About 2 months ago he passed away. Ashley said that about 10 seconds before Crystal stared the
van, she saw Jack (her grandfather) standing at the front of the van and that he had said that everything
would be alright and that he was going to fix the van. The rest of the way home the temp. gauge never
moved we didn’t have any more problems. Now we all have such a fire in our souls that we cant hold it in.
Now we are going to start a youth led prayer meeting before church on Sundays and a bible study. I just
want to thank God for all he did for us that weekend.

I'm Nicole, and I have announced my calling to preach. I just want to say that no matter what goes wrong in
your life, the worst thing you can do is give up. I feel like God has a calling for everyone. Remember, when
things get rough you have to keep moving on.

When I was about 13 my dad passed away. It seemed like my life was over, but I asked God to help me with
the grieving. A few weeks later everything was back to normal. Then my grandfather died a few weeks after
my dad. So, always remember that God always makes a way.

Hi, my name is Matt and my life has been a road of great and not so great times. It all started before I was
born. My mother and dad did not want anymore kids, so my mom had her tubes tied. Eighteen months later
she found out that she was going to have a child. The devil tried but didn’t win. Then the devil tried to kill me
when I was 18 months old. I choked on a carrot, and my grandmother held out her hand and said, "In the
name of Jesus," and I spit out every bit of the carrot. When I was 18, I got news that I was going blind, and I
would be blind in a year. I was devastated. I was a preacher and I had my whole life to look forward to then
find out I’m going to be blind. I went up for prayer and God touched me and the next week when I went for
more tests the doctor said I was clear!! Praise the Lord!! Now I am a youth pastor and God has blessed me
so much. He’s even sent me the love of my life. I thank him for everything, the good and the bad! So,
when ever you need help call on the lord for he cares for you!

Name: Jennifer
Age: 16

I was the first of four children born to a 16 year old mother. After the 2nd child was born, I became the
mother to the all the kids after that. I was put in foster care at the age of 8. All 4 kids moved in with my
grandmother who already had my 2 cousins. There were 6 kids and 2 adults, I only call them adults because
of their age, living in a 2 bedroom trailer. After awhile that became hell. My grandmother smoked and went
crazy one night and left us there by ourselves. The kids were crying and I was still only 8. I stayed up all
night waiting for her to come back. I feel asleep, but when I woke up the police where there telling me that my
grandmother didn’t want us there anymore so we had to leave. I was so hurt. The next foster home we, the
kids, got split up my brother and one of my sisters, my cousins, and then my sister and I. That’s how it was
and that’s how it stayed. The sister that lived with me had Down syndrome. All the kids were crying and
screaming that they were scared and didn’t want me to leave them. I couldn’t do anything. I felt so helpless. I
was mad that I couldn’t comfort them like I had always done. We left to different homes. I have not seen my
cousins since, and I have no way to contact them. I was told that they were adopted and that they seemed to
be very happy. My brother and one of my sisters are now adopted. They are very happy, and I still get to
see and talk to them. My other sister and I are now adopted, but it took us 7 years to get there, but we got
there!!! I thank God for all he did and all that he is doing. If I had not been taken away, I would be on drugs
and I would have been pregnant, and my life would had turned out just like my birth mother’s. I love Jesus
with ALL my heart. What’s your story??? My email is jenn_jenni2003@yahoo.com email me if you are going
through something and don’t have anyone to talk to I would be happy to help.
