Rebeckah
My name is Rebeckah. I’d like to begin my testimonial by saying this: No person has done so much wrong that he or she can’t be saved. I know, because a loving God saved me.
The image of my former life is a black hole with the oxygen sucked out of it. I was facing prison time for drug possession. But the judge had mercy. He said I could either go to prison or spend 13 months at the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission. Well, here I am at the Mission – getting closer to God every day.
I wasted 13 years of my life using Meth. Once the addiction took control of my life I would leave my family and not talk to them for months. I got involved with stealing and with people who used guns to get their point across. There were too many times when I was scared to death.
All that has changed since I’ve allowed the Lord to rule my heart and my life. The best days of my life have been every day I’ve been at Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission. The verse of scripture that sustains me is found in Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Today I have a new outlook on life. My eyes are open. I have a good relationship with God and He’s restoring me to my family. It’s all happening because the judge sent me here. How I thank the judge and God for that decision!
I also want to thank you for donating your service and your money to help people like me. You’re here for me as much as the staff is – even if you’ve never visited the Mission. God bless you for caring, not only during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, but every day of the year.
I say it again: no person has done so much wrong that he or she can’t be saved.
If you ever need the help of the Mission, the Mission is here for you, too.
