Thanks for a good Question.
I would suggest a few responses.
Peter
As I sit here writing this testimony in the Trinity MAP office overlooking North Tce and as I do frequently during the day, I can never get too frustrated or concerned over whatever it is I am doing (or attempting to do!). This is because as I look over at where the skate park used to be before the new developments were underway, I always remember that is where I used to meet my drug dealer on occasions, right opposite where I am now a Ministry Apprentice. This is a humbling experience and an important reminder of where I was in my life before I knew Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.

Bernie
Confronted by racism, attacks and threats, Bernie’s welcome to Australia was not what he expected. But then he found a group of people who were totally different—they were welcoming, inclusive and caring. What was the reason behind their actions?
Believers have something that the unbeliever wants (although they might not know it!).
God’s ear!
As the book of Job comes to a close there is an intriguing twist. God rebukes Job’s three unhelpful friends and sends them back to Job with their tails between their legs.

How was a disastrous camp a turning point in David’s life?
“I was born into a Christian home and am grateful for everyone who taught me about Jesus.
“Through my teenage years I had questions about what I had grown up believing—not because of doubt, but because a youth leader had challenged me to genuinely ‘own my faith’. He said that if the Bible’s words about Jesus were true, then being a Christian wasn’t just about my upbringing, but it was the result of God’s work in my life.

How were vampire movies and comic books involved in Darren’s journey to faith in Jesus?
“God first revealed Himself to me when I was ten years old. I was having trouble sleeping after watching a scary vampire movie, so my mother read Psalm 23 to me—’though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil’. I was instantly calmed by these words.
What does it mean to ‘fear the Lord’?
Job 28:28 is the first time Job hears the words of God in this long and heavy book. Job has suffered greatly, more than what most could imagine, and finally God speaks. And he says ‘The fear of the Lord – that is wisdom’. Thanks!
