Les Moyer never knew how suited he was for emergency work until he actually began to serve in predictable and unpredictable situations as a First Responder volunteer.   Becoming an emergency medical tech, he soon found himself comfortable in all sorts of emergencies—but was glad when he didn’t have to deal with too many hair-raising experiences like he did when he was working for a company where part of his job description was re-possessing vehicles—and carrying a firearm was standard procedure. How all this led Les into being a cheerful locksmith we aren’t sure—but one thing we know, he’s happy doing whatever he does, because Christ is in his heart!

Dr. Harvey Rittenhouse and his wife Dr. Virginia Gene gave an unforgettable interview years ago for television in New York—Their experience was never forgotten by Pastor Juanita, since their testimony was one of absolute trust in the goodness of God, and the words of Romans 8:28 that ALL things can work together for good to them that love God. A rerun of that interview tells how he was pulled out of a burning motor home just a few seconds before a horrific explosion, Dr. Harvey lived—but lost his vocation, his avocation, and his ability to share his music. No longer a surgeon, a cellist, an oratorical tenor or able to function freely, he did NOT lose his ability to praise God. He had hope then, and he still does! Listen to this and you’ll find it difficult to feel sorry for yourself! This man trusts His God and his joy in life is contagious.

Sonja Carnegie is a dynamic woman who reacted to the shocking word “cancer” with a brief moment of regrouping–then has gone on through weeks of treatment–dealing with changes that come when one is taking chemicals into their body to kill a deadly enemy. She has approached the treatment with confidence in God that inspires amazement knowing it is God who will determine the outcome–while she cooperates with Him–She’s left herself in His care–preferring His will and NOT her own. A blessed and powerul testimony!

Policeman Tony loves the Lord, believes he can make a difference helping people in a big city in the Northeast, even as he prays before making an arrest or handing out a ticket! His smiles and has that old-fashioned belief that if people just knew how he was there to be a help they could trust his concern for them and for enforcing the law. He is becoming a “regular” coming down and volunteering at A KEY ENCOUNTER when he gets a week off duty. His daily walk with God has to be the source of his power to cope with a dangerous job!
