Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulations or distress, or persecuation or famine, or nakedness or peril or sword?.......For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ our Lord
Romans 8:35, 38 & 39
You might be wondering why we chose this as the scripture to introduce ourselves to you, but, like the Apostle Paul's life experiences, these dramatic events have characterized our Christian journey. We know what it's like to be homeless and have no food for us or our beloved canines, we know what it's like to be and do what God has for us to be and do only to be ridiculed and disrespected by fellow spiritual leaders, and we know what it's like to ask God for the courage and faith to keep moving on in spite of all these obstacles in addition to extreme health challenges. Praise God we are still here just like the Apostle Paul was still there!
In our darkest days, with no brothers and sisters in Christ to support us, we turned to God and asked Him to grow our relationship with Him. Through the years, He has honored our request and led us on an incredible journey which led us to more fully know the Father , Jesus and the Spirit in love, power and ministry that we never heard about while attending worship services. We simply asked Jesus to be our friend, and, boy, has He honored that request! Throughout it all, we've asked God to give us spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear, since scripture is spiritually discerned and the good brains He created us with could see the words on the pages but not always understand what they truly meant.
Our life and journey have been filled with "never thoughts" like we never thought we'd be ordained into His service and ministry, let alone this fellowship and leadership training program He has placed in our minds and hearts, we never thought we'd write life-transforming emotional and spiritual recovery tools like our emotional recovery workbook for Christians, and we certainly never thought we'd be specially gifted and trained as Christian Counselors so very blessed to guide believers on their emotional recovery journeys so they can be free to be and do what God has for them to be and do.
We love you as only God can love through us, and we desire for you what God has so greatly blessed us with: a solid, grounded life purpose doing and being what He has for us to do and be. Let's grow together into the fullness that is Christ and leave behind the things that have caused pain and just plain don't belong there.
In His amazing love,
Pastors George and Sharon Billington
