First things first, we direct all credit for the success of this project to God. God knew about this project before He laid the foundations of the earth. He knew about this project before you and I were born. All credit and glory from this project goes to God!

My wife programmed much of the website during the summer of 2002, and the first testimonies went onto the site in the 4th quarter of 2002. Whenever a new testimony was added, it was also sent out via e-mail to a list that numbered more than 500 people.

The testimonies started coming in virtually daily, and it began to overburden the e-mail of some people who were only checking their account once a week. Subsequently, this newsletter was created and this edition is appropriately named the Genesis Issue.

A question that many people have is 'how will the testimonies be used'? I can't possibly fathom all the possible uses that God will have for these testimonies. But I can share with you some of the ways that he has already used them.

Randy's testimony shares how he relied completely on God, and saved his marriage from certain divorce. Subsequently, more than one person has told me they forwarded Randy's testimony to a friend who was facing divorce. 

One pastor told me that he uses the testimonies as source material for sermons.

Five of these testimonies (Robert, Mary, Phil, Jay and MaryAnn)  were selected to use in a New Hope Mission church service, and roughly 70 homeless men and women took the testimonies with them.

Someone out there will benefit from your testimony, if you haven't already, please strongly consider sharing it!

There is much more information about this project's current status and upcoming initiatives. Because we are deliberately keeping the focus of this initial newsletter on the testimonies, we will wait to share additional information in the next newsletter, the Exodus Edition.
