Without going into great detail, I’d like to just share a small testimony of my experience with Joseph.

When we first met, I had walked away from the church. I actually studied myself right out of the church because things were not lining up. As I studied the Hebrew and the Greek meanings of the words in the bible, they did not seem to match what was being preached to me and others so I walked away from church and never looked back. I never lost touch with God. It was not God's fault that men were not teaching the word of God as it was meant to be taught. But I did go in a direction unbecoming of a child of God and started practicing magick and various other things.

Joe had invited me to a church camp one year which I went and enjoyed myself and was invited to the worship team and I got to know a few other people and made good friends. Something was still missing though. I missed the intimacy of small gatherings. The church that had the most impact on my life was small and we actually started gathering in a small building and occasionally someone's house for fellowship. You don't get that in the mega churches. As a matter of fact, you don't get to talk to the minister except on rare occasions, if ever. The church I was used to going to we actually had Bible studies with the pastor at his home. In my opinion, that's the way it was meant to be. You got more out of it, and it felt like a community. I did not feel that way at the bigger churches. I actually felt like an outsider. That made me feel very uncomfortable.

Fast forward to 2024, I started receiving videos about the end of days and the second coming of Christ and things of that nature, and to be quite honest, I got a little afraid that since I walked away from the church, perhaps I wasn't actually saved anymore. I was pressed hard to call Joe and at first that was unsuccessful but then a few days later he reached out to me, and we reconnected. He and his lovely wife Amy had started a house church, and I was looking for a house church but the house church that I found in my town was still part of a big establishment which turned me off. Joseph and his wife invited me to join them via zoom since they live in another state now for their weekly meetings.

On St. Patrick's Day, I rededicated my life to Christ and the following Sunday, which was Palm Sunday, I got baptized for the third time. Joseph found a pastor who actually was one of the team members of our worship team at the church camp who finally got his own church and became a pastor and arranged for me to be baptized at his church which is in my town. I wanted Joseph to be the one to baptize me since he was now my mentor in Christ, and the Pastor agreed, and both joined together (Joe and his wife drove from Indiana for this) and baptized me. Joe's wife stepped up and assisted me greatly in the process and for that I am very grateful. No longer a Sinner but now a Saint, I feel confident that I am safe in the arms of the Lord.
