 My Testimony It was over twenty 35 years ago when I stepped out of darkness and began to experience the joy of intimacy with the One Who Made me. I heard a message about His love, mercy, forgiveness, and accepted an offer to have a relationship with my Creator. Since then, I have been on a most exciting journey. I was born in Southern California as spent my childhood growing up in the sixties and 70s. I was raised in a Godless home and had no idea of a Loving Creator. I heard about Jesus Christ - but it was only in a cursing from Mom or Dad. In the days when the Beatles, Rolling Stones came out on the radio, I experienced a deep cultural change engulfed in a world of alcohol, drugs, and long hair. When I entered into the Army in 1973, I was a full blown out rebel. Basic Training settled me for a short space, then when freedom came - I went chasing trouble. When I was sent to South Korea, I began to master the Marital Arts. In 1976, I became a Middleweight Champion in Pusan. I was the first American to ever when a Korean Title. But I also had a dark side in all of this, I was peddling drugs in South Korea playing a dangerous game with dangerous people. After the service I would continue on in rebellion with way too many bad stories to tell you about here. I was one lost soul. I was looking for love in all of the wrong places. To make a long story short, I started on an extensive search of life’s truths and began reading the Bible. After much research, it became obvious to me that the Bible was historically accurate, archeologically verified, and prophetically confirmed. Along with much other evidence, I became convinced to respond to the Great Invitation. The teachings of Jesus intrigued me. This man of history not only taught about love but demonstrated it in living color by His Life. His teachings were irrefutable, His life undeniable, His offer irresistible. Islam has labeled Him as a true Prophet, others say a Great Teacher, all have regarded Him as an extraordinary man. Jesus taught many amazing things concerning His Identity that many could not accept. Speaking of Himself, He proclaimed, ‘‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life’’. As my research deepened, I realized that He made some pretty outlandish claims. Imagine a man in today’s society, who appears in public and proclaims to the world that he is God. There are many sitting in insane asylums that have made open professions to this sort. He had to have either been a crazy man or correct. Everything that Jesus proclaimed before He died became verified truth by the eyewitnesses of history, which testified of His Resurrection from the dead. Historians attest to the fact that Jesus came out of His grave - exactly as the prophets had predicted beforehand. Because of the eyewitness testimony to that effect, everything that Jesus taught regarding Eternal Life became my truth, my study, and my pursuit. I was a bartender when my decision was made to commit my life to the Good News Message. I quit serving booze and began serving a gospel story to others. Jesus presented a hope and a verifiable doctrine that has changed me forever. Now, I have experienced a real love, and hope to emulate His Love to all that I meet. I have a story to tell others about God’s Amazing Grace, oh - how sweet it is. That's why I am sharing this website to all who are seeking answers in today's troublous world... Yeshua will come soon - hold on folks - it is going to be a wild ride... Psalm 91 will come to pass! Abundant Blessings, Steve Henderson |
