That weekend they descended into the baptismal tank in front of the Worship Center audience during our 3ABN Fall Camp Meeting, as well as in front of our cameras! As potential millions of viewers around the world watched, they took their stand for Jesus and for the truth they had discovered in the Bible. They asked Him to forgive their sins, and they joined the body of Christ. Read more...

Dwight Coder was 20 and had just met 17-year-old Barbara, a junior in high school. Their friends had introduced them, and they all began “hanging out” together. The more they talked, the more they realized that their relatives all knew each other. Dwight knew Barbara’s grandparents, as well as her aunts and uncles. His dad was a blacksmith and a farrier who had shoed her grandfather’s horses. And then there was the fact that Dwight’s sister and Barbara’s aunt were best friends in high school and had grown up together in the same church! Read more...

Now he had lost his newest job after a confrontation with his boss — and had no unemployment insurance. Read more... A Pastor Finds His Way Ron Norris came from a long line of Bible-believing Christians; many of whom graduated from the same Bible college. He was given every opportunity to know the Lord, but instead, his life took a different turn. During his teen years he began to smoke, drink, and take drugs. His parents were worried, and tried to get him to change his ways, but to no avail. But this day was different. Ron had been arrested with drugs, and was awaiting his court date, and in the meantime he was determined to have as much fun as possible. Being worried, his mother asked him, “Ron, don’t you want to go to church with us this Sunday?” Read more... I'll Be a Witness Patti Roberts was raised in a strict Roman Catholic home and loved her very structured and formal church.

Never Too Old to Learn Arlene Jankens struggled with many adversities in her 87 years of life, but her faith in God and regular attendance at her Lutheran church sustained her through them all. Polio at 17 months left her with a deformed foot and a bad limp. She battled cancer for ten years, and as a result, lost a portion of her face, lost her hair permanently, and underwent 15 surgeries. Her husband, Erhard, was legally blind for 44 years during which she was both his chauffeur and his eyes. Then she broke her hip in October 2002, and almost died after the surgery. She also became legally blind due to wet macular degeneration. Sadly, after 64 years of marriage, Erhard died of congestive heart failure. At this point, one might imagine that Arlene must have felt like she was enduring the trials of Job! Read more...
