Power to Cope with A Tumultuous Past

As a young man, David Asscherick never did get into drugs and destroy the bright mind God gave him. He did become a vegan and was sensitive to the lives of other creatures. But he was also a blue-haired (at times), tattoo-covered, “straight-edge rocker” whom no one would have predicted would become a loving child of God with the ability to devour Scriptures and bring out insights in such a way he would begin a school for those wanting to share truth, and an Evangelist whose first converts were five of the six members belonging to his old rock band! You don’t want to miss this dynamic interview of a young man whose birth father had no desire to get acquainted with him, who is now a stable family man whose influence has impacted persons all around the globe because his heavenly Father gave him new life in Christ!

Power to Cope with Split-Second Decisions

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!

Power to Cope with Severe Injuries

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.
