Hi, my name is Corinne and I LOVE your story!!! :-) I became a Christian just three years ago. I am the only Christian in my family. I have dedicated my whole life to evangelizing!!!! I just turned 29 on August 8th. My family thinks I am nuts. They do not understand the love I have for Jesus and my mom crys every day I go out evangelizing. I pray they will become Christian too :-)
I live in Rochester NY. Maybe I can go out evangelizing with your group sometime :-) My email is corking@live.com
I found a youtube video I REALLY think you will like! Here it is! You can cut and paste it.

Also I would love you to read my testimony of how I came to Jesus. Sorry the KJV is not used. I have just started using the KJV version so my testimony uses a deluted version but you will still get the point! Here it is :-) PS)You are already saved. This is geared to people that need to get saved but I thought you would enjoy it anyways.
I was living in Boston Ma and was going to Berklee College of Music. I lived in an apartment building. A woman down the hall from me was a Christian. I was a Catholic. I wondered about Christianity because my Aunt was a Christian (the ONLY one in the family.) She died of cancer. Before she died she sat down with each family member (everyone but me because I was in Boston) and gave them a bible and talked about salvation. Everyone ignored her but I was wondering to myself "She must be trying to tell the family something." Searching for the only light that I knew I made my confirmation in the Catholic church. At the confirmation class I was told "Pick a Saint, any Saint you want. Search one in the library. Make them your God. They will answer all your prayers." I immedietly began to question my church.
The lady that lived down the hall from me showed me the New Testament one day. She opened it up and showed me how the Catholic church does many many things against scriptrue. My 25 years as a Catholic and they never even told us to read the bible. I didn't even know that there was a New Testament. I got really upset. How could my church be doing things against the church? She began showing me scriptures. She showed me John 3:3 "Jesus answered him. "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." I never had heard this term "born again" in my church. She explained to me that I needed to get saved and needed to get my name written in the book of life. The bible says in Revelation 20:15 that those that name is not found in the book of life will be cast into a Lake of fire. She asked me if I believed in Jesus. I told her yes. She then told me it wasn’t enough to just go to church on Sunday. I had to make a decision in my life. She showed me John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
She showed me Luke 11:27 "As Jesus was saying these things a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied " Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." She showed me that I needed to read and FOLLOW the New Testament. My church had NEVER told me to read the New Testament and I became upset. She showed me Acts 4:12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is NO other name under heaven given by men by which we must be saved" She explained to me more about salvation...
Everyone has a book in heaven of everything we have ever done in our life...including all our sins. God sent his son to die on a cross to pay for the sins of mankind...But I remained in my sins until I accepted that. I told her I believed Jesus died for my sins and asked her what salvation was. She explained to me. "You must come to a point in your life where you cry out to the Lord Jesus and ask him to save you. You must repent of your sins and ask him to erase them from your book in heaven. You must turn from your sin and promise to Jesus that you will be obedient to his scripture. You must invite Jesus into your heart and ask him to put his precious Holy Spirit in you. It is this holy spirit that will take you to heaven when you die...If you are without holy spirit and die you will go to live in hell forever. She told me I need to give my life to Christ. She then told me that if I was to die the next day without ever having done this I would go to hell. She also began talking about the rapture and how Jesus is coming soon. He will come and the whole World will see him coming down from heaven. All those that are saved and holy spirit filled will go up to be with him and those that never got saved will be left behind and suffer great torment and will perish in hellfire for all eternity. She told me that Jesus is coming soon. Jesus said in his word that in the end times he will pour out his visions and dreams. We are in the end times now. If you search on youtube.com "Muslims see Jesus" and search other people that are seeing Jesus you will see millions are having visions of Jesus! This is a biblical sign he is coming soon! She explained to me how much God loves us. She --------> explained he has the hairs on our heads numbered and that he knew each one of our names before he created the earth! And that he collects all our tears in jars in heaven. He has such a love for each and every one of us but he also created us with free will. If we do not receive him in our lives we will pay eternally. Jesus says in the bible, Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." Jesus is at the door of your heart knocking. Will you let him in to save you? I said " I need to get saved! Lets do this! I need to do this! God loves me and paid a HUGE price for me on the cross!" She told me "Corinne, that is why he died. He doesn’t want anyone to suffer eternally in hell. Those that reject Jesus and never get born again spiritually will go there. Would you like to get saved now?" I said "Yes!" She asked me to bow my head and I recited a prayer out loud to Jesus.
I believe in God and is his son Jesus Christ. Jesus I believe you are Lord and you died on the cross to cleanse me of my sins, and I believe you rose again on the third day. In this moment I am asking you to forgive me of every sin that I have ever committed in my life. I am sorry. Jesus, I have made the decision to hand over my life to you. I give you all my life and will follow you the rest of my life. I invite you into my heart. Please come into my heart and put your holy spirit in me. Please wash away the sins of my past with your precious blood and make me new. I give you all my mind, heart and soul. Please make me new through your holy spirit. Please write my name in the Book Of Life. I have made the deicision to believe in your New Testament and follow it. Please help me discover what your will is for my life. Please take my life and guide me for the rest of my life by your holy spirit. I surrender to you Lord Jesus. Thank you for my salvation. Thank you because I have just been saved and am now your child. Amen
***********************************************************
I said the prayer 9/13/05 and amazing things began happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right when I said it I felt the Holy Spirit enter me. I told the lady "Uh...I felt something entering my body!" She said "That's the Holy Spirit!" I went to my bedroom. That night, God gave me a dream of my conversion! There were three nuns dressed in black standing in a line. There were two nuns in black in front of them and one in front. So they formed a triangle. The one in the front was carrying a statue. They were hovering above the ground about a foot and they were moving into the distance. I waived goodbye. God gave me this vision to show my conversion away from the Catholic church into Christianity.
Immedietly I began telling people about Christ wherever I went and people were giving their lives to Christ too. I went to my piano teacher. Her name is Ji Yeon. I told her about Jesus and she said she wanted nothing to do with him. My heart began to hurt. I don't want her to go to hell. She said she doesn't believe in him. I left my piano lesson and ran home to my apartment. I was in so much pain. I LOVE my piano teacher and I don't want her to go to hell. I went into my bedroom, closed the door and cried out to Jesus, "She doesn't believe you. Jesus, she doesn't love you. But I love you Jesus and I love you. Don't worry. I love you." Then something happened that will FOREVER change my life. Jesus appeared to me in my bedroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right there in my bedroom I had a vision of Jesus Christ himself!! I have never ever ever seen a face so beautiful in all my life. He glowed and was all in white and had such love in his eyes!! Wow. I saw the maker. Right in my bedroom. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A few days later I went to a Christian church and there were about 500 people there. I was in the back and praying in my mind "Lord, give me joy. Lord I need joy. Please give me joy." Then, all of a sudden the Pastor said "Is there a Corinne here? Please come down to the front. The Lord just told me you are praying in your mind for joy! God can hear your thoughts. Please come to the front." I ran down to the front. Wow!!!! Only God could have heard my thoughts. I went to the alter and began feeling more joy then I ever felt in my whole life.
Then a week later I had a strange dream and I cried to God to send someone to me to let me know that the dream was or wasn’t from him and for God to send someone to tell me "God loves me" and that will be our sign the dream wasn't from him. I went back to church and the Pastor prayed over me and said "God told me he loves you and the dream wasn’t from him." God heard my prayer! Only God heard it!
I went home to visit my family in Rochester NY. Before that I prayed for the Lord to be very close to me in my travels home. When I got home my 5 year old nephew came and told me he had a vision of Jesus. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I began my ministry traveling and giving people the message of salvation and people get saved and come back to me and tell me all the wonderful things God is doing in their lives too! I am so amazed by the things that are happening in my life. In doing some research I found that Jesus is appearing to people all over the World! This is a biblical sign he is coming soon! Jesus says in his word that he will come and all those that are saved and holy spirit filled will go up to be with him and those that never got saved will be left behind and suffer great torment and will perish in hellfire for all eternity. Well, I sure know that this is real!!!!!!! I am so amazed that this is happening in my life. I have a friend from high school that has a different boyfriend every week. I told her about how she needs to get saved and the next morning she called me and told me that Jesus gave her a dream of the rapture and her being left behind. This is real. IT DOESN'T GET ANY MORE REAL THEN THIS!

God Loves Muslims

Posted By BECCI2U on February 8, 2009

I was watching Christian news where Muslims in India, Lebanon and other Asian countries were coming to Christ that had never even heard the gospel. They were having visions and dreams of Jesus coming to them and telling them, 'I love you'. That is evidence of how truly amazing God's grace towards man is. PRAISE GOD!!!

Wonderful story

Posted By CANDANCE88 on April 5, 2009

Hey Moe,
It's Candice from SIUE. I was at the ILI this past weekend at Mizzou. This is my first time getting involved in Impact and I'm so excited to share my faith with others even more just by reading your story. Thank you for everything you are doing. You are a huge inspiration to all college students around the U.S. and I'm thankful that God is using you through such an awesome ministry. I'm not able to go to KAA KAMP this summer but next summer I will definitely consider it. I was a camper with KAA 3 about 2 or 3 years ago and that changed my life and brought me closer to Christ. I grew up in church but I never got to the point to know Jesus for myself until I went to KAA (U Know). Be blessed and I pray that other college students get to see God through you and this awesome ministry.
Much Love,
Candice

INCREDIBLE

I can hardly believe this, In-fact I cant believe it, The peace might be a desception by satan, simply to deceive you and make you miss your steps. I think every one who think Jesus is God must be out of their mind. Is Jesus God or the son of God. Do you know... that Muhammad is also in the line of prophets-He is Abraham's progeny also,just as Jesus. God promised Abraham,found both in the bible and the Quran that his offspring shall be Prophets. Why do the xtians deny Muhammad as a prophet, even though he is Jesus' relative-being on the same family tree. Continue to deceive your-self till death grabs you. My good friend the truth is that I hate everything that withold me from doing what I like as I like to be a free man. But like it or not death is real, heaven is real, God is real, Jesus is never God-He couldnt have given himself to death by His creation(absurd) simply for a sin he can easily forgive since no one will ask him y he fogive. Search and Research, the Bible has being tampered(a lot, some people are trying to do same with the Quran too).
God is God, He sent people to deliver his message. No one has being able to prove the aunthecity of the Bible when Islamic scholars beg for it.
Read the whole of the Bible to discover the whole truth and STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF. Peace out

Bro Muhammad you are very very bless to have found Jesus in your life. Continue to serve Him, love Him and worship Him. No one can seperate you from the love of God. Forgive those who do not know Jesus personally for they do not know what they are doing. Our Lord Jesus has revealed himself to you and you know and experience Him in your life. You are not in darkness but have fellowship with Him. I am so glad for you. Hallelujah! Praise God!

It doesn't matter

Posted By SMAKAZMI on May 22, 2010

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It doesn't matter if Jesus was the son of God or if Muhammad was a prophet of God.

Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad were only here to remind us of what we already know.

Learn from all of it. Evaluate it. Practice what you know to be correct.

As humans we already know the right path and the wrong path. That is what makes us the best of all creatures. We can evaluate ourselves, other animals can't. They operate on pure instinct.

Just,

Be honest to yourself.

Keep your intentions noble.

Accept responsibility for your actions.

Know that your life is a test.

Know that you are your worst enemy as well as your best ally.

Don't underestimate yourself in
either capacity and always be alert.

SMAKAZMI Please hear me

Posted By BRYANT on June 19, 2010

Hi SMAKAZMI,
I want to let you know that trying to get to God by doing good works will never be enough.

The bible says that all our good works are dirty rags to God. Trying to be noble and moral is nice, but it is not enough to get you to heaven. If the jews did not obey God and put the blood of the lamb on their doors during the plague of the first born (Exodus) then God would have killed the first born son of their families along with the Egyptian first borns.

SMAKAZMI you need to realize that we are requested by God to be holy as God is holy. Have you ever broken the 10 commandments, have you loved your neighbor with all your heart and loved God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind ? I will be honest I don't measure up to God's laws. I am a sinner and I need the sacrifice of Jesus which washes away all of my sin and shame.

We need Jesus Christ who is the Son of God who died to take away our sins. Jesus walked the earth as God wrapped in man's flesh. Only a being that is perfect and fully eternal can perform a sacrifice that is eternal for all time. We need a sacrifice that will truly satisfy God's wrath and judgment.

I sincerely hope that you will take the claims of who Jesus said he was seriously. Hell is a real place and no one wants to go there. Do you think that you are good enough that God will overlook your sins ?

To have all your sins washed away and to obtain eternal life you need to :
1. repent of your sins and truly turn away from them.
2. believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior who lived a perfect life that you could not live, died for your sins and rose from the grave so that you can have hope that you too can be raised to heaven.
3. receive God's grace. Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart. Open it and he will come in and dine with you and you with him.

The faithful humble people that are saved by Jesus blood get into heaven, the proud God resists. Don't allow your pride to take you away from the gift of eternal life.

RE: INCREDIBLE

Posted By BRYANT on June 19, 2010

ashraf I humbly ask that you seek out God with a truly open mind. God says in the bible that he is not like man that he should lie. God never lies. He is true to his promises. In the Quran the christians are tricked and deceived by Allah. But the hard thing to understand is, why would God want to trick the Christians.

Please take a sincere good look and compare Muhammad to Jesus the Christ (not just the prophet). Jesus performed incredible miracles like raising the dead, calming the seas and he prophesied his own death and resurrection and he prophesied about many things to come and some have all ready come to pass. Jesus was crucified because he angered the Pharisees with his claims that he is the great I am, that he came even before abraham and also because he exposed their many sins. But you see God laid on him all of our Sins. We can trust the historical accounts of Jesus are reliable because it was seen by EYE WITNESS accounts.

700 years before Christ came there was a prophecy from Isaiah :
Isaiah 53

1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression [a] and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [b]

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes [c] his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

11 After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life [d] and be satisfied [e] ;
by his knowledge [f] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, [g]
and he will divide the spoils with the strong, [h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.

There are many more prophecies in the old testament that were written well over 200 years before Christ that speak about Christ's method of Death (Psalm 22:16-18), when he would be born, start his ministry and die (Daniel 9:24-26) and also where he would be born (Micah 5:2).

I hope you sincerely ask God to reveal himself to you. The real truth is still the truth even if no one wants to believe it.
