I would like to thank Pastors Dennis and Colleen for doing God's will. VWC has been a blessing to me and my family. Through your teachings and the people that attend VWC, specifically the Sierra Leon Missions team.

My marriage was baaad. My husband and I were just house mates. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was not suppose to be married any longer to my husband despite the fact that we had kids. I felt we had no connection and I didn't want to connect because of past resentment that had built up and I couldn't or wouldn't let it go. After attending your church and listening to the sermons about loving through the offenses, praying to see my husband through God's eyes and for him to see me through God's eyes, Pastor Dennis stating that my relationship with my spouse is indicative of the relationship I have with God (that really got me) and people from the church telling to just show my husband love. I didn't even like touching him and for him to touch me was like a violation from a stranger.

I had a meeting at my home with members of the Sierra Leon mission team. Kecia Osbourne had me repeat a very powerful prayer. God used her. She knew everything I was feeling and prayed with me to release it. She also had me anoint all my doorways in my home with oil that I asked God to bless. It was like the missing peace to a puzzle. That was a Friday. The following Sunday is when Pastor Dennis stated that our relationship with our spouse is indicative of the relationship we have with God. One thing that played over in my mind was Min. Charles Beard convicting me in Sierra Leon about respecting my husband and then the wife of a team member convicting me at my house after she saw how I was interacting with my husband. I was finally putting everything together, finally learning how to be a wife (submitting and respecting). I am kind of hard headed.

The following Monday I couldn't stop thinking about my husband and thinking about how much I love him. I had not felt that way since we were dating. I started treating my husband the way I should and now I see how much he does love me. I couldn't believe I was feeling this way. A MIRACLE!!!!!

This was a miracle. I know God can do all things, but I never thought I could truly, truly feel the love I had with my husband as when we first met. I think I love him more. Even when he says something or does something that would have made me angry in past, it doesn't bother me at all or nearly like it would have in the past. I know God has been really working on me and my husband not only through the church but the people he has brought into our lives.

There are no words that I can say to thank you enough for doing God's will through VWC and VWCS. You both were very instrumental in saving me and my marriage. You are both instrumental in my on going endeavor to get closer to God and I am so thankful for you.

May God continue to bless you and your family and show favor on you both.
Love, Alison
