My Father Myself

Posted by: Nathan - 10/16/2008

zoom My father beat my mother and I for fifteen years. At the age of fifteen I was emancipated from my parents and placed in juvenile detention and finally left to my own devices. I was raped and molested by a pedophile. I became violent, abused drugs and have been in jail many times. Eventually I went to prison for four years. In my late thirties I sold everything I owned and set out on a journey across country.
One day while searching for firewood I met a man. He had some phamplets titled "My Father Myself." Walter asked me do you want to meet that man? Of course I said yes. He was a converted Christian who had left his old life behind to serve the Father. I was amazed that God could do this. 25 states later I found myself in Salt Lake City. Finally I began to speak to God. I asked him to show me a sign. When I turned the corner there was a sign. It was yellow with black letters and it said,"Jesus Saves."
It was the SLC Rescue Mission for the homeless. I went in and recieved Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I stayed there a while. Later God gave me a beautiful wife and we have continued the journey. We now live in Seattle, Washington. I just lost my job and my wife is also unemployed yet we know somehow God will provide. We know God has a plan and when I saw this guy on tv, the one who came up with this idea of Fathers in the Field I was compelled to visit and write this testimony. God bless all of you and if there is anyway I can help let me know.
