Lives Being
Changed

HOPE Ministries while we were conducting revival
services in 2002... |

“……when I left my home state to
come to Washington DC on business, I left with
the hope of never returning to my home state. I
tried to take care of those things, back home,
that one would take care of if he was intent on
this being the final week of his life. I was
tired of all the stress, confusion and fear; I
would put myself, here in Washington DC, in any
dangerous circumstance possible and hope for the
worst! I can now see the Devil’s hand in all
of this thinking.

| Imagine the odds alone of the hotel I am
staying at. On any floor above the third floor,
the windows are sealed. I found myself though,
as an occupant of a room on the tenth floor with
a window that was not only unsealed but the
latch on the window would not close and out of
this window is a good six foot ledge. I arrived
Sunday and soon after checking into my room I
found myself sitting out on that ledge, just
wanting to step out over the edge and end it
all. |

Then Sunday evening I went for a walk....and
found the H.O.P.E. tent. I loved the music, and
at the time, the Daybreak Quartet was
singing....I kept having to stop myself from
crying I was so touched by how God had placed
you here at this time. And last night, Monday
night, I returned. I kept listening to the songs
and to the message about how great heaven is
going to be. And how there is going to be no
more pain and no more tears, you have no idea
what God has done in my life and how he has
changed my life.”
