Mary suffered much physical and emotional abuse in her marriage, but drew strength from God's Word and the encouragement of other Bible-honoring women. She found that God's way was effective in keeping her relationship with her unbelieving husband from destroying either their family or her faith.

Mary has good memories of her early childhood in Oxford House, but when she went away to residential school as a teenager, her life became an unhappy one. After running away rather than returning to school, she entered adult life with little education, but with a determination to honor her marriage even if her husband did not. An encounter with the Lord left her scared rather than joyful, but she knows now she can rely on the Word of God and His promises.

Harlan accepted Jesus as his Savior, but it took 5 to 6 years for his family to believe the change in his life was genuine. After observing his behavior for all that time, they recognized his beliefs were real, and eventually, after he continually exposed them to the good news of God's Word, his mother and youngest brother followed him in accepting Christ before they passed on.

"I kept telling my wife that I was going to change my life and start going to church. I was so good at lying, making people believe that what I say I was going to do, and I make people believe me. That was actually part of my plan, to tell my wife I was going to go to church and manipulate her by saying I’m going to go to church and change my life. I was using that to have my wife take me back."

"I would just like to let people know that it doesn’t matter what life you have lived or what you’ve done. When you come to Christ, He will forgive if you ask Him to forgive your sins, and God is, Jesus Christ is just waiting for you."

Sophia grew up without her mom, and her grandmother was the greatest influence of her childhood. Sophia enjoyed caring for her as she grew older, but when grandmother became ill, she sent Sophia away to other family. Feeling in the way, Sophia set out on a relationship which became abusive, and was feeling trapped by her sense of commitment, and by a lifestyle of drink and drugs.

"I can�t tell you the freedom I had; the tears of joy start flowing, I was so happy, so glad, the enormous feeling of release, of peace, and that was the deliverance that I had from all this torment, the pain, the hurt, the alcohol, the pot, everything that went into a life of this lifestyle. God is a healer, He�s a restorer of broken homes, He�s a restorer of broken lives, and I share this with you."

As tribal chairman, Gordon participated in ceremonies where offerings were made to the spirits, but soon found out that the spirits were not only powerful but wicked and evil as well, and would bring him down in torment, until he learned to turn to the only trustworthy spirit, the Holy Spirit of the Creator God.

Gordon looks back on his combat experience during the Vietnam War, recognizing how God had His hand on him then, and how He continues to guide and protect him in life's spiritual warfare.

"I didn�t understand until I realized my own sin. All this time I thought I was a good person; I went to church, I didn�t drink, I didn�t do drugs, I didn�t even smoke. God gave us the Ten Commandments to teach us that we are not perfect, that we can�t follow the Ten Commandments. I had tried and failed miserably, and realize that I am not good enough to enter His kingdom. God loved me so much that He sent His only Son to die for me, because I was not good enough to enter His kingdom."
