Impact Stories
The following is an email we recently received from Kathy Rose. “ Pastor Mark, Thank You for being there, sharing the word of God as you do. A few months ago, I found your Amazing Prophecies YouTube channel and was hooked on it. It’s such a blessing to finally find someone who shares the same perspective of God’s word. I truly wish I lived near your church. I’ve struggled with “the churches” being ok with Sunday worship rather than Saturday Sabbath. I do not believe in a pre-tribe rapture. I’ve struggled to find anyone who agrees with what I feel the Lords been showing me for years. Leaving me to feel quite alone in my faith. So, if you don’t mind sir, I’ve adopted you as my online spiritual advisor! I don’t really know how to observe the Sabbath properly. I’ve dedicated myself to it and to learn more. And btw…I find that your one-hour videos are taking up quite a bit of my days (smile). Instead of one hour, it takes me about 3 to 4 hours on each as I study along with you. I hit pause and look up scripture, I take notes, rewind listen again. It has been a fantastic spiritual growth experience finding your channel. God bless you and your family. May he keep you safe, keep you all well, and may he provide your every need now and in the days ahead.
In his Love, Kathy Rose
The following is a text From Janice Berlingeri, Amazing Prophecies viewer from Long Island, NY:
“Good morning, Pastor Mark! I’m baptized!!!!! I can’t believe I’m finally baptized! God bless you both and your family. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers, it means so much to me!” Janice had contacted us in the Spring requesting a 7th day keeping church. Our team led her to a church and Pastor Mangum of the Old Westbury 7th Day Adventist Church began doing Bible studies with her immediately. Janice was baptized soon after!
We praise the Lord for the testimony of Rhonda Fassett and her son Chase who were recently baptized: “I was baptized at 11 years old, but over time I did not live my life for Christ. Eventually, I went through a divorce, and then fell into a 12 to 15 year meth addiction that led me into a life of all kinds of sin. One night with that ugly pipe in my hand I cried out: ‘Father in heaven if you heal me of this drug addiction, I will serve you for the rest of my life! Please let me go back to my family and back into the lives of my children!’ The next day my ex-husband traveled through 2 states to come get me. We left that night.
I am now 6 years clean and fully devoted to our Holy Father and Lord Jesus Christ!
My life has changed, and I have a home and a wonderful job, a beautiful family.
My children love me, and we are very close. God gave me back everything I had
ever lost, and more. So, one day I was watching you speak and you said you had
been rebaptized. As soon as I heard that I started praying and asking the Father
if that is what He would like me to do? Also, you were the ones who helped me
find this wonderful little church. We found an amazing family at this church! Both
my son and I were just baptized at my new church home – Praise God and our
Lord Jesus Christ!” Rhonda also has a ministry using short videos to spread the Gospel on Tiktok!
We want to share the incredible story of one of our Amazing Prophecies viewers, Gloria, whose unwavering faith and passion for sharing the Gospel have left a profound impact on us. Gloria, 88, from Fort Worth, has dedicated her life to spreading the good news of Jesus’ soon return despite facing significant physical limitations. Her passion for Christ is so contagious that she can’t stop sharing His message with everyone she meets. Gloria frequently calls us to order books and magazines, which she joyfully distributes to her community. Accompanied by her caretaker, she tirelessly travels up and down her street in her wheelchair, sharing materials that point people to Jesus.
Her living room is a reflection of her dedication: she has transformed it into a small chapel, complete with folding chairs, a pulpit, and even a small organ. Gloria regularly goes door to door in her apartment building, inviting neighbors to join her for Bible studies in her chapel. She radiates a joy and energy that inspire everyone who crosses her path.
We have been blessed to visit Gloria a few times, and every moment spent with her has been a testament to her deep love for Jesus and her fervent hope in His soon return. Sadly, Gloria has recently been placed on hospice care, but her zeal for the Gospel remains undiminished. She continues to be a beacon of light to her community and to us. Her example motivates us to keep working tirelessly and inspires us to live boldly for Christ.
“I Made the Dry Tree to Flourish”, Says the Lord!
Last month, while on a short vacation in Michigan, Mark was walking on the campus of Andrews University, when he suddenly heard someone calling out his name. He turned to see a Jose Villaverde, a 27-year-old man running towards him who excitedly exclaimed that he knew him from the Amazing Prophecies channel! Of course, Mark was thrilled and they talked for quite a bit. He shared his amazing testimony of how after high school, he had dropped out of college and was pursuing a rap and RnB artist career. He had no intention of becoming a Christian, but he was feeling a tug on his heart.. That’s when he stumbled into Bible Flock Box, Amazing Prophecies and a few other channels that led him to many Bible truths he had never heard before. He was convicted to begin attending a 7th Day Adventist Church but after a while, he fell away, becoming distracted. There was a real struggle – the world was tugging him away. Then at the age of 24 he decided to surrender, and he was baptized into the church. Unfortunately, he fell away again. The Lord did not turn away nor forsake him. Indeed, the Lord brought him back and as Jose testifies:
“During those three years, Amazing Prophecies was a consistent influence on my growth and learning. The Lord was so patient with me! Now that I have been in the church for another 3 years , the Lord has transformed my life. I often watch the channel because the prophecy updates keep me on my toes. I am truly appreciative of the work this ministry has done and have been blessed by the consistent efforts of Forever Free Ministries. One of my favorite Bible verses exhibits the miracle of my new birth in Christ– Ezekiel 17:22-24:”
“Thus says the Lord God: ‘I will take also one of the highest branches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and will plant it on a high and prominent mountain. On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. Under it will dwell birds of every sort; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell. And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, the Lord, have spoken and have done it.’”
Jose is currently studying to receive a degree in Theology and in Music. He want to become a minister! In addition, he has shared the messages with his mother and she also has been baptized! Praise the Lord! He is the One who plants the seed, and brings forth the abundant fruit to His Glory!!
