A short time ago I received a letter from Angela. I contacted her. Up until this time I had felt it would be impossible for me to be saved outside of ntcc. And even if I went back to ntcc, they would not accept me. Angela told me that if she still loved me after 20 years, how much more would God love me!

She also shared with me many scriptures of God's mercy and I asked myself the question:
She also shared with me many scriptures of God's mercy and I asked myself the question:
"Is there any sin that I have committed that Jesus' blood could not wash away?"
Knowing the answer to that question, I had to pray and ask God to forgive me my sins.
I was afraid to pray. I didn't know how to pray. And I didn't even believe that God would answer my prayer.
But I prayed anyway and asked Jesus to forgive me. God didn't tell me "Yes" or "No" but in my heart God told me to "Repent". I then asked God to give me the strength to overcome the many sins in my life and to remove the evil thoughts that were in my heart. IMMEDIATELY I felt the presence of God in my life once again. Up until this point I never thought I would ever be forgiven or have any chance of God saving me outside of ntcc.
Not only did God save me; but He answered my prayers and gave me strength to quit smoking, cursing, drinking, lusting, and every other sin I was involved in.
