Sterling's Story
Iôm so grateful that after that long last year of High School, my personal, private, even secret prayers to God were fully answered. Perhaps my poem says it best:
1968
My life was adrift, shipwrecked and lost,
Confused and in torment in my inward parts;
So helpless I prayed to my Savior and God:
ÿNot just forgiveness, I want a new heart.ÿ
That year seemed so long, and God so afar,
The struggles so strong, the failures so hard,
My cries e're more weary, my tears burned like fire,
Would God ever hear me? Could I e're be revived?
When packed up from camping, invited to hear

He told me of Jesus, and then did us tell
That God had so loved us, eÿen sinners so weak,
He sent Him to die, and for us to bleed.
Oh, glorious day! The light I could view!
My prayers had been answered, my God had come through;
Now broken at last were the shackles of sin,
My life had forever been brought back to Him!
Sterling Byassee,
Loving Jesus, my Lord!

We've been in Mexico City for the past 12 years now,
loving and serving our Lord. I hope some of my dear
friends from Montebello have also had the same joy as
I have, to come to know the reality of the Lord Jesus.
He is not a religion, He is not a creed - He is a living
Savior who can meet all of our needs!
