Sis. April Staley:

"For the first time, I felt God's Love."

 "I was raised by my grandmother and I didn't know my parents. When I was 20 years old, I married and had 2 children. My husband and I to rode motorcycles, drank, partied, and fought all the time. That was life as I knew it. Even when my husband and I broke up, I still drank and partied, as well as going from one relationship to another, looking for love and contentment, but I never found anything that lasted."

"In 1985, I moved to Indiana and an Apostolic Pentecostal man by the name of Eddie Smith, who mowed my grass often, invited me to church. I never had much of a background with church, but knew that I needed something better than what I had, so I visited Life Tabernacle."

"It has been a life changing experience! The moment that I walked in the front door I could feel such love and caring; for the first time I felt God's love.

"I repented, was baptized in Jesus' name and filled with the Holy Ghost; from then on, the Lord started changing me from the inside out. He has given me the peace and contentment that really lasts. "

"I now teach a Sunday School class and share my happiness in Jesus with everyone I can."
