The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a good report makes the bones healthy. (Proverbs 30:15)

Here's your opportunity to make someone's bones healthy. Leave us a testimony of what good things God has been doing in your life. It can be something that has happened through your small group ministry, through mentoring and discipleship, or any other way in which God has blessed you, your family, or your church. What has been done in your group or church that has been successful that could possibly help others to . . . "preach the gospel to the poor; . . . to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty the oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke 4:18)

So, start typing! Tell us something that's going to give us some healthy bones.

I was a heroin addict for 20 years. I went to prison and wanted to change my life. I started studying the scriptures and was baptized. I got out of prison and got back on herion. I went back to prison and spent another 5 years and started a sacred name ministry in prison. I was baptized in the name of YAHSHUA THE MESSIAH this time and since being released I have started and pastored a small congregation in Cleburne, TX. YAHWEH has completely removed my desire for drugs. Halleluyah! There is power in the name! Acts 4:12

I am a single unwed mother. Now to some, this may read as sin, but to the backslider who longs to do the will of God, all things are possible with God. I am so encouraged by the daily devotionals. It is a very effective ministry tool that every church should have. I was member of Bethany in 2006 near Siegen Lane. I was only there for a short time but God revived my spirit. I felt like I was dying spiritually because of sin in my life but God gave me a way of escape: Under his wings of protection from the enemy. Since, then I've grown not to total maturity in my walk with God but I feel closer to him than I ever have. I have humbled myself to God and resisted the temptation to give up in life. I use the foundation of the word that I recieved from my spiritual parents to war against the Devil and all every wicked high place that tries to set itself against the knowledge of Christ. I would like to encourage anyone struggling with known sin just to begin to press into God with your tears as I did and he will make a way for you to fulfill his will for your life. Don't give up! Just endure because it does get easier when we as children of the Father God. He is truly my daddy. Not just someone to meet my needs but he is someone that I can set my love upon and he sets his love on me forever. Jesus is the only man I know that expects the best from me and will return to rescue me without fail. He is all I need to live, I won't go a day without my love! Be blessed! His love covers all sin and his mercy endures forever. Yes we can live a sin free life, Holy acceptable to God the father. I am excited about that, because Jesus lives, I can face tomorrow, all my fear is gone. I know who holds my forever. Amen.

I realize today that God has always been with me and that indeed His Will prevails. I have found myself these past few days feeling empty and without purpose, so once again I went to church hoping to find God so He could heal my heart and soul. Since I am new to the Tampa Bay area of Florida I went to a church that was unfamiliar to me but its doctrine is similar to my foundational teachings, so it was good. Still, I couldn't help but think of my family back in Gulfport, MS,. at Northwood Christian Center. I've always felt too embarassed to call or send a note because the fellowship was so good to me but I backslid back to drugs and alcohol. Today I am 3 years clean and sober, a college student and thank God still have my two beautiful children. To continue the story, I believe God is calling me back to Him by His beautiful forgiving Grace... My professor has asked me to write a paper about my religion... specifically about a ritual or ceremony. Since I have put myself in a position of being without a spiritual family setting I had to refer to my family back home. I'm so glad to see the healthy condition of Northwood Christian Center. I walked away from God and so suffered but the Fellowship still stands. Praise God and thank you for supporting local fellowships like NCC. ~ Livia

I recently picked up a copy of the book Remnant at the Global Strategy Conference at The City Church. On my way home, God told me to order 15 of these books, because I'm going to disciple 15 young ladies who were going to change a nation, so they needed to go through it. I took home the book and finished it one sitting. This book helped increase my vision for my life. I'm going to live my life by God's standard and be aligned with Kingdom culture instead of Northwest culture.

I am a Youth at Northwood Christian Center. I am part of a cell group or life group (the name we're calling our cells again). I used to listen to secular music(unchristian music). Secular music brought me down. It is one of the reasons why I have trouble with controling what I say and do. I tell myself to do something, and I dont do it all the time. I tell myself "no," but I do it anyway. I used to watch horror movies. They corrupted my mind. I see evil visions now. I even watched pornography, but I will not let it control me. I will defeat sin. The enemy has been defeated. Death couldnt hold the Lord down. I will lift my voice in victory. I will shout my battle cry. I am gonna make the Father's praise rise high and be loud. Because His ways are my ways and forever he will direct my paths. I will do his will. I will be a worship leader on stage singing His praise Help me to praise Him. I am an overcomer. I am His son. I am a real man and nothing is gonna stop me now. I am William Collins Billingsley Jr.

I am part of a small group through Bethany and have found that God establishes more than a group, but family. Any of them are there for me whenever or for whatever I've needed. My husband works construction and one Christmas there was just no work. The group got together without our awareness and contributed to our Christmas - for 6 children might I add. We are currently in Ohio at World Harvest Bible College and I still get prayed for by my group family. They still call to check on me, just like family. The married couple that leads this group are very special to my husband and I. One day while in church, this really pretty lady turned around and introduced herself to me and I did the same. After the service she turned to me and said that she had a son named Devin. My name is Deven so I assumed that was why she said that. I told her that I knew a guy named Devin when I was in high school. It turned out to be him. She added that she knew a little girl once that went to her house with a friend and the little girl was around 3 yrs old. She said "Her name was Deven Webb." I was that little girl - Webb is my maiden name. I was brought to tears. It doesn't stop there. My husband got saved when he was 8 yrs old. A gentleman's vehicle broke down by my husband's house and this gentleman knocked on the door to use the phone. My husband waited him at the road for his help coming. There was another gentleman with him and they prayed with my husband to be saved. Some time after we had been going to this group he told that story and one of those gentleman was there and attends the same group. It is devine relationships and God has one for you! The early church met in their homes and broke bread. Their faith was ever being uplifted and signs and wonders were happening. I guess if the early church grew in faith, strength, love and in number we should follow our their steps. My family is truly a small group family testimony!
