Glen Yoder's Testimony
Glen Yoder is the son of a former Amish Bishop who was well recognized in every Amish community in the US. In the early 1980's, the Lord got a hold of this Bishop and his son and both of them got saved. The Amish church almost immediately excommunicated them for their strange beliefs. However, in the midst of so many struggles and trials, these two men and their families would in a lot of ways open the door for thousands of others to question their Amish traditions and beliefs and come to Christ. Glen's testimony is 1.5 hrs. long, but very much worth your time to listen to.

Gerald Miller's Testimony
Gerald had full intentions of raising his family within the Amish culture. For years, he tried his best to live out the Amish rules to the best of his ability and serve as a good example to others in his Indiana community. At times, he wondered, "is this really what it takes to be right with God?" But as soon as the question entered his mind, he would remove the thought immediately, for fear it might lead him away from his family and friends. But the day that he gave his life to Christ, everything about Gerald Miller changed for all eternity. Please listen to Gerald tell his story.

Eternity

Hey! A Christian Can't Do That
by Joe Keim Most Christians are living on their very own comfortable level. The beliefs and convictions they hold on to are just right. It's all those other Christians that are off base.

The Body Allows Access into the Physical World
by Joe Keim (Part 1 or 3) If it were not for the body, you and I would not be able to survive in this physical realm. It is the part of man that allows the real you to access onto this world that we live in now. And might I add, the body, even though it was made with the dust of the earth, is very complex.

The Soul Allows Access into the Emotional World

The Spirit Allows Access into the Spiritual World
by Joe Keim (Part 3 of 3) Sin caused our connection with God to be cut off. And since neither the body nor soul can access the Spirit of God, mankind must have a spiritual birth experience in order for his or her spirit to connect with God's Spirit.

The Secret of Remaining in Christ
by Joe Keim The secret of remaining in Christ. Jesus was clear when He said, "Abide in me, and I in you.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing". John 15:4

Because of my assumption, I didn’t worry about them and did not include them in my prayers. I didn’t think I needed to. Now, I know differently. Thank you for opening my eyes to their plight. I will be praying for you and your family and your mission. "
