Joseph's Story
After 30 sum odd years of drug and alcahol abuse, two failed marrages, and finally hitting the bottom of the barrell, one morning I woke up and decided I had to change my life. Not knowing where I was going or what I was going to do when I got there, I put some important papers in a breaf case, and one change of clothes in a sack and went (walkabout) as mick would say. After spending 3 nights sleeping in abbandonded buildings and some farmers barn I stoped to have a beer at a place I new in N. Myrtle Beach S.C. it was sat. afternoon and I asked the bartender if he knew of a church I might go to the next day. He said I should check out the beaver at the beach at the end of main st. I slept in a rundown storage shed next door to the pavillion (a beachfront bar and grill)that night and about 6:30 the next morning men started pulling chairs out of a trailer and setting them up there. Soon ...Expand for more
the bar was transformed into a church. After the men left I snuck out of the shed and before long people started showing up for church survice. To make a long story shorter, (me), this dirty run down vegrant was welcomed with open arms and given food and advice on where to get lodgeing at a homeless shelter. They found me work, they bought me a bicycle, and helped me get back on my feet. All that said, that was 3 and a half years ago and who am I now. A BORN AGAIN BLOOD WARSHED SON OF A LIVING GOD !!!!!! Praise GOD in all his glory. I tried to put my churches web site on this testomony but classmates won't let me so if you would like to visit it first type the three w's and then dot, then type (church of the lost and found) all in one line then type dot,then type o then r then g at the end. "The only eternal thing you can do for a man is lead that man to Christ." GOD bless you all.
