�Flo, you know what happened is that I got saved, I got saved.� Of course he started preaching to me, �You need the Lord too, you need to know the Lord, you need to be forgiven.� And I�m thinking, �I wonder how long this is going to last,� and, you know, his life just changed.

When Andrew's wife decided to put her trust in Jesus, he was very curious. He watched her, and had her tell him what the preacher would say at church. He couldn't get away from the bottle, but he wanted to. He wanted what his wife Nida had found, and one evening, he wanted it bad enough to go looking for it.

New Years Eve is a very special time in the Claus family. It was on that night many years ago that the family gathered together around the radio and heard something that would change their lives forever. Listen as Tom reflects on the significance of that day and what it means to him after all these years.

"God gave me the strength to deal with how to deal with having a disability, and having how to deal with my low self-esteem issues, and that life was worth living, and that I didn�t need to end my life and believe Satan�s lie that I wasn�t worth anything. And then I realized that it made my whole mindset change."

Carla was adopted by a white family, and grew up in a loving Christian home, but experienced issues stemming from a disability as well as her being a Native in a white community. Even after accepting Christ in her mid-teens, she found these issues made life more difficult, but also found that knowing God made her more able to deal with the struggles.

When he was seventeen, Randy found himself thinking seriously about how he had offended God, and the following year gave his life over to the Lord, growing in the knowledge that God had a plan for his life, and being led to enroll in a Bible School. The Lord has taken him on remarkably from there, as a pastoral assistant who is becoming more devoted as a servant of God to the people as time goes on.

Randy grew up in a home where he was loved, but where alcohol was a major influence, and before he was a teen he had begun experimenting with drink and drugs. He had heard stories from the Bible at home, and found them exciting, but did not appreciate how they pertained to him until, when he was seventeen, he began to see how his behavior would offend God, and cause him to miss salvation and eternal life.

"We would hear the medicine man begin the countdown to evening time to get ready for the stomp dance. But, even though we all were there, you know, most of us young guys, we never did really know what it was all about. We couldn�t understand it really, but we were involved in it. To me, I could see that the older ones were just doing it as well. In our lives, you know, we wanted to be traditional and live and worship God in these ways. But I never could see no change in nobody."

The plans Florence had for her future were changed when her sponsorship for training was not approved, but soon she was offered a teaching job, went to work with some Christian girls, and began to learn what God wanted from her, and what He was offering to her in salvation. Her life, and those of her husband and children, changed drastically when they accepted Christ as their Savior, and they have spent many years now in the service of the Lord and a church for which they have accepted responsibility.

Florence has lived her entire life on the Peguis Reserve, except for a period of four years when she attended the residential school at Birtle. She learned much from her father as she worked the farm with him, and much from her time at the school, but it wasn't until she was asked to teach Sunday School that she began to learn more about the Bible than she had from the stories she heard at home and at church as a child.
