Testimonies That Make Our Faith Alive And Real!
Encourage others to share their testimonies with you, and share yours with them too!
Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
Testimonies are powerful because they reflect personal experiences with God’s intervention in our lives. For example, let me share my testimony of how the Lord delivered me from bondage to a drug and alcohol problem I had wrestled with for many years. It was a dark period filled with despair, but when I finally acknowledged my need for help and turned to God, something miraculous happened. He answered my prayer even before I had been clean and sober since June 25, 1986. From that day forward, God has been by my side despite the countless wrong choices I made in life. People can argue about the Bible, and some do just that. Although when you and I share our story (testimony), there can be no argument about that.
People Can Debate About The Bible, But Not Our Testimonies! Our Testimony Is Our Story Of What God Has Done In Our Lives! This Is Not Mere Speculation Or Up For Debate; It Is An Undeniable Reality That Happened In Our Life. A True Testimony Of God’s Love, Mercy, And Grace For Us!
When we openly discuss the good news of how God has delivered us from our troubles and pain—the testimonies—we inspire others on their journey while strengthening our faith in Him. So here’s what I encourage you to do: ask other people for their testimonies and then don’t hesitate to share what God has done in your own life as well; you never know how your testimony might influence someone else or ignite a newfound motivation within them on their walk with God! Let us embrace these testimonies as sources of encouragement, hope, and inspiration—reminders that miracles still happen today! ~ Bill Greguska

Testimony of Bill Greguska
My Testimony Of Faith In Jesus Christ:
I first heard of Jesus Christ when I was about seven years old. My parents took me to church every weekend and even put me in a church school to instruct me, where some of my faith fundamentals developed. My faith in God was very frustrating because I learned what was correct and acceptable, but it was still sometimes hard to live it out. Then, while growing up, the Lord allowed multiple difficulties, such as a drug and alcohol problem, homelessness, and problems with the law, to ultimately understand how deep of a need I had for God through these challenging times I got myself in.
How My Life Was Changed!
Alcohol And Drugs Were My Thorns In My Side!
There then was a period when I got serious about my faith because God orchestrated that I would end up in long-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation for two years, during which I got the help I needed. I attended AA and NA for about ten years, yet even though it helped me, I found Elmbrook church, which was the point where I started to thrive. God used Elmbrook church because it caught my eye through its open basketball program. Back then, Basketball was fundamental to me and was the carrot that got me into the church again in 1989, shortly after I got out of long-term treatment.
God Saved Me From My Bondage On June 25th, 1986!
The church took me in and helped me grow as a Christian under Pastor Stuart Briscoe and the rest of the staff. I even got a job at Elmbrook as a custodian for four years. The seeds of faith were planted, and my roots were more noticeable through what I learned in God’s word over the years.
The experiences God allowed in my life, good and bad, made me aware of my urgent need for God! The rest of my story is a series of ups and downs, but God was in my life this time, directing me and teaching me how to love Him, love others, and enjoy myself. My born-again faith started on June 25, 1986, when I finally gave up drugs and alcohol, giving me a new opportunity to live my life for Jesus Christ.

God Put Strong Christians In My Life!
My life has not magically become perfect or even easy because I have become a Christian. And yes, I still sin, but since I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I know my sins are now and always forgiven. My love for God for what he has done for me inspires me not to want to sin, but my sinful nature makes that impossible for me to do, yet as I walk with the Lord, I know he is with me and guides me on the high road and through the narrow gate.
God has blessed me with some key people to help me, such as Ron and Sue Sauer, Mark Mallwitz, and others. Since I am so grateful, I find it hard to understand how much God loves me. I know who created me and why I am here on earth, and I have a purpose to love and honor God and love others because God has loved me first. I have the assurance that He will never leave or forget about me because He loves me, and I love Him and want to serve Him out of gratitude for what He has done for me. ~ Bill Greguska
Do We Care Enough To Share Our Testimonies?
How To Write Your Testimony And Plan To Share It.
- Write down the details of how you trusted Christ to save you.
- Who told you about Jesus Christ?
- What events led up to your trusting or believing in Christ?
- When did you first trust and believe in Christ?
- Where were you when you first believed?
- How has faith in Christ been a blessing to you?
- Next, write this out to flow well as a story. Try to be as concise as possible. As a goal, shorten your testimony to share it in two or three minutes or less. Ensure that you have included the appropriate Scriptures in your testimony.
- When you share your story, other people can be inspired because of it.
How To Share Your Story With Others?
One of the best ways to encourage another person is to briefly share what God has done for you in your life so that they can relate to you, which would be a source of encouragement. I would warn you not to use the Bible as a hammer to beat over their head to shame them but rather show them how to live a better life and express what God has done for you, hopefully pointing them to want to know God more intimately.
When I talk to someone about my faith in God or life, I usually give the person one of my NeedEncouragement.com business cards. I do not know how many people my cards affect positively, but I am sure God uses them to point people to Himself!
When Should You Share Your Testimony?
You will see that when you share your story or try to encourage another person, you will find that you will be helped yourself. You will begin to enjoy assisting others because I have found the truth.
- When I help others, I feel I have helped a fellow human being with some effort, allowing God to work through me.
- As I encourage others, I feel encouraged. I have often been down, but when I try to help others, it seems to lift me right back up.
