For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:20,21) There had always been darkness and tears in my early life. As early as I can remember, probably 4 years old, my parents always fought, and it made me cry. They fought everyday. My mom fought with almost every neighbor. Sometimes I was left alone at home, even for a few months. There was no one I could talk to. I always wore a smile around the neighbors because I thought this was what I should do for my family so they would become peaceful. Some people said I was different from our family. Others said I was too young to know how serious things were with my family. Since then I learned to cry inside. When I was in 6th grade, I moved to a small city where my brother was studying. One of the reasons for moving was to get out of the house. However, things were getting worse everyday. My brother started to become involved in a gang, and often did not come home at night. I had to cook, eat and sleep by myself. I was afraid to see people from that time, especially during the daytime. I always stayed home. I also had to go my hometown to see my parents. I cleaned house, laundered my dad's clothes, cleaned his room and so on. I just tried to be with my parents because they loved me so much they did not fight when I was there. When I was in high school, my mom also moved to the city. She opened a small tavern where I always saw drunken men and women. I was next door and heard every strange word they said, and saw every thing they did. I started to go out at night. I started to smoke and drink even though I hated drunken people. I did not want to come back home, because whenever I come back, I had to see my mom drunk and moaning with pain. Some women were crying and they fought each other. Sometimes I had to go out and look for my mom all night. Even though I had many friends I was lonely. After my friends would go home I would wonder around all night. I wished that someone had seen how lonely and sad I was. I could not find any solution. I often slept in the park and river side. I used to get in fights often. When I was in 11th grade I was involved in a big fight. Because I injured a man I had to pay $10,000 for his injuries. I also went to jail because of this. I realized that I love my parents, and that they also love me, even though I wished to be all alone in the world. Everything was getting worse: my Brother and Sister were also getting into big trouble. Every day my Mom was getting sicker and sicker. My Dad was becoming older and his health was failing also. However, I could not stop drinking and fighting, even though I tried to change. I could not do this by myself. I could not sleep at night without drinking because I was so frightened by the police sirens. I was involved in some bad things even though I did not want to be. This situation had been going on until I joined the Army. I was always drinking and fighting. In the Army, I started to think about myself. I was a miserable person before, but I thought I should not be. I tried to change the attitude of my life. After I finished the Army, I went back to college and studied hard to find out myself. I was able to stop drinking and smoking and earn good grades by myself. In those times, I met many Christians but they did not tell me about Jesus. When I was not drinking or fighting, I was an honest, diligent and lovely person (even though I found that is not true after I became a Christian). I thought that going to Church was a waste of time. I thought that I could have more joy and happiness than any Christian. I thought that I could do more good things than any Christian. Every thing was fine, but I felt something was missing in my life. I always felt empty in my heart. I did believe in God even though I was not a Christian. I did not know which god is the real God. I went to Church when I was in middle school for a few months. In the army, I also attended Church for a few months. However, I did not know exactly who is Jesus and why I need to believe in Him. Rather than going to Church, I was more attracted by Buddhism. I was sucked into the Buddhism and some of my friends called me "Small Buddha." Having religion meant to me just Being Good and Wealthy. I thought that all religions have the same destination and so they are actually the same. I thought that if I was doing good in the world, I would go to Heaven. I thought that God is just a Creator from long ago and had nothing to do with this world. I thought that it is our responsibility to improve our civilization. I thought that we have to work hard for our generation and our posterity. So I did work hard for myself and my family. However, things did not go exactly where I wanted. When I was a Junior in college, I was involved in an accident. One of my friends threw a glass cup to me. Later he said that he did not know why he threw a cup. I realized later that God did not stop him from throwing the cup at me. Anyway I could not see anything with my right eye. I could not walk on the street, nor see a small bit of light. I had three surgeries in my right eye in the following year. At that time I used to have a girl friend, Hannah whom I fell in love first in my life, and forever. I really loved her, but one day she said goodbye. After that I always stayed in my dark and small room. I did not want to see anyone. I had a mental disease because of my background and had to see a doctor. There was no hope that I would see. I did not understand why I was in that situation. When I was in hospital after the surgery of my eye, I was able to see the sky all the time from my bed. Most of time I was alone, and walked around in the emergency room, or just looked at the sky. There were so many people who were hurt seriously and were about to pass out. I started to think about my life. I will die some day. My last day could be today or tomorrow. If I die, my family and friends will cry for me and people might think of me for some days. And then what? I started to think about God and Heaven. One day I looked at the sky and asked "Where is the God? Who is Jesus Christ? Are you real God over there in Heaven? Where I am now and going to tomorrow? I rented a small room near my college. That was when I went to Church to see Jesus the first time in my life. One child who was living next door asked me to come to Church to see his Christmas performance. That was Christmas Eve 1992. From that day on I went to Church regularly. Three months later, on March 16, 1993, I met Jesus and accepted Him as my personal Lord. After I accepted Jesus, everything around me dramatically changed. In the year of 1993, I worked in a small Church. Every spare moment I had was spent studying the word of God, and sharing that word with others. Every Saturday and Sunday I preached the Gospel on the street and market. Some of my friends told me that I was out of mind because I was spending so much time in the Church, instead of worrying about my job and future. I was too happy with Jesus to do something else. Because the Joy which Jesus gave to me is so big I could not stay home. I went out and told people about what I had experienced through Jesus. In that time, I had prayed to God that I wanted to study but I would follow whatever God wanted me to do. I asked for my family to have peace, and that I wanted to see Hannah, whom I believed God sent to me. I have been always surprised by what God is doing for me. I am not deserve God' blessing in a viewpoint of the world. But God always hears my prayers and answers them. I am studying in America, and living with Hannah, who is my wife. My Mom and Sister are going to Church and my family is recovering, with joy and hope in Christ. I also expect to see with my right eye in few months. What a blessing I have!! I cannot tell you about ALL my darkness and sadness in my early life. You may not feel what I felt, but my pain was real and it was for 20 years. Even more than my early life, however, I cannot tell about how much I am Blessed by Jesus. The wonderful freedom and Joy I felt when Christ forgave and saved me exists to this very day. Since then the Lord has taken more and more of my heart and my longings. And other things have become less and less important. But everything that falls by the wayside only leaves me with more freedom, and abundant peace. I do not want to dazzle your mind with spectacular terms like Entire Sanctification or Justification by Faith. All that I believe are listed in the Statement of Faith. What I want to do, is share with you, my story and say to you Jesus Christ changed my life. He took me from nothing and made my heart content. He gave me rest and peace when I was drowning in guilt and loneliness. He is all you will ever need. And He is always loving, and always looking for lost sheep. Jesus Christ died a scorned humiliating agonizing death on the Cross just for you. Friend, you are the most precious person in Christ. Our God is Love. All you need to do is just pray (look at the bottom of this page) from your heart. Christianity is more than just religion, but it is about life. Christianity is more than just Being Good, Healthy or Wealthy, but it is about Eternal Life. What will happen if you don't believe in God (meaning the trinity), and the plan of salvation is real? You will go to Hell for eternity. What will happen if you believe in God and accept Jesus as your Savior, and it is not real? Nothing. So by believing in Him you have nothing to loose. By not believing in Him you may be risking your soul for ever. I think every one has his or her own religion in some way because God made us spiritual. So we are always seeking spiritual facts, not like the Theory of Evolution. If you believe that you will go to Heaven through your religion, that is fine for you. But there are some things I am wondering about: I am wondering if you have true Joy and Peace in your heart when you serve your god, if you are able to communicate with your god through your prayer. Can your god heal your sick body and hurt soul? Does your religion have scientifically and historically infallible evidences of your god? Have you seen many witnesses in your religion who are just dramatically changed. We Christians have ALL the answers in the Bible. God is Spiritual. We cannot understand God in our mind, but we can see and even touch Him, if we accept Him as our God. If you have never known Jesus Christ, I am not here to pressure you. I do not want to threaten you with hell or eternal life. But because I love you, I want you to find the Eternal Life in Christ. What I am here to say is that you too, can have what I have found in Jesus Christ. If you would like information, or simply someone to talk to about anything I have mentioned here, please email me at hoh@mines.edu or contact a local Pastor in your area. God bless you !!! WHAT You Must Do: The Bible says, " That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10). To receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, sincerely pray this prayer from you heart: Dear Jesus, I believe that You died for me and that You rose again on the third day. I confess to You that I am a sinner and that I need Your love and forgiveness. Come into my life, forgive my sins, and give me eternal life. I confess You now as my Lord. Thank Jesus for my salvation. In Jesus name Amen. IF You really Made JESUS your LORD (KING), Then Live like It! 1. Read your Bible to get to know Christ better. 2. Talk to God in prayer. 3. Find a Church where the Bible is taught as the complete Word of God and is the final authority. 4. Obey Christ's command (be baptized) and follow whatever Holy Spirit leads you. back to top Mike Osthimer EMail: It was the spring of 1981 and I was walking across the campus of San Diego State University when I happened upon a man handing out little green Gideon Bibles. He asked me if I wanted one and I said sure trying to be polite. I tucked the bible into my back pack and headed off to class. That night I was thumbing through the bible and in the back it had a 4 point "Steps to Peace with God" in it. I remember it saying you could know Jesus Christ personally. I prayed the little prayer and signed and dated the page when I made that decision.I did not think to much more about it but the seed was planted. A few days later I met a young man from "Fellowship of Christian Athletes" who invite me and a couple friends on the football team to a special movie being shown on campus that night. I showed up but none of my friends did. It was a movie about the life of Jesus. I was very attracted to the relationship the movie said I could have with Christ.God was in the process of reeling me in. A year passed and when everything in my life seemed to be falling apart so I cried out to this Jesus I had learned a little about and asked Him to come into my heart and cleanse me from my sin. At the moment I did, I felt something I had never in my life felt before. I cried like a baby but felt such a peace in my life. I felt like I was clean. Something truly had happened in my heart. Though my circumstances had not changed I had peace because finally I made peace with God by accepting His free gift. That was 15 years ago and I am now in the ministry full time. I love Jesus and enjoy my relationship with Him so much. He is my best friend. He has blessed me with a beautiful wife, three wonderful kids and some great christian friends who I love. I can not and do not wish to imagine what life would be without Christ. Everything good in my life is because of Him. I thank God that He called me out of darkness and I was in darkness into His marvelous light. Gods love is real if we will only allow ourselves to stop long enough and listen for that still small voice. Praise Jesus! back to top
