This Week

Tell Us Your Stories!

God is always at work in our church family, and we'd love to hear what He has been doing in your life.

Sharing our stories is one of the ways God strengthens His Church. As we hear how God is working in each other's lives, we get to know one another more deeply, celebrate together, and are reminded that nothing is impossible for God. Testimonies encourage us, build our faith, and give us confidence to trust God in our own circumstances. They can inspire us to share our faith more boldly, pray with greater expectation, give to God more generously, and see that God is working powerfully among us.

So, has God answered your prayers? Have you seen healing, restoration, or someone come to faith? Has He miraculously provided for you? Perhaps you've stepped out in faith by praying for someone, sharing your faith, or giving generously — and seen God move.

Your story could encourage someone else to trust God, strengthen their faith, or give them the courage to take their own next step.

The Bible reminds us to "declare his works with rejoicing" (Psalm 107:22). Every testimony, whether big or small, points us to God's goodness and brings glory to Him.

So, if you have a story of God's faithfulness that you're able to share, we'd love to hear from you. Why don't you write it down and email it to us now? You can share as much or as little as you like — helping our whole church family celebrate what God is doing among us.

Please email your stories to your stories(at)godfirst.church.

We can't wait to hear your stories and rejoice together in God's goodness.
