Testimonies
Simon Jakeman
I was never brought up to go to Sunday School. When I was invited by Mr. and Mrs. Zenker to go to Sunday School, it was all new to me. I did not like it at first so I stopped going for a while. Then my friend asked me to go with him, so I did. I went back for a few weeks and I stopped going again.
After a month or so I went with my mom and dad, and I went for a while. I heard that I was a sinner and I needed salvation. I just left it behind me when I left chapel and went back to what I did before I went to chapel.
Then over a year passed while I had been attending chapel and new students came over to help at the chapel. The students helped me a lot in understanding that I was a sinner. One night at the chapel we had a testimony service and I heard a lot of testimonies. During that service God really spoke to me and I realized I needed salvation because I was headed to Hell. I spoke with Joe, one of the students, and I got really upset because of my sin. Then I spoke to Mr. Zenker about being saved. He showed me from the Bible how I could be saved. In Romans 10:9 it says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” And in Romans 10:13 it says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
So that night I gave my heart to the Lord and I was saved. At that moment I felt peace inside of me. It was the best feeling in the whole world.
Since that day I have been wanting to learn about God more and I have been growing as a Christian. Recently I was baptized and have become a member of Beeches Road Baptist Chapel.
