Gladys Jennings

I praise God for His goodness to me! I wasn’t brought up in a Christian home. I never heard my father or mother pray, but my mother took me to Sunday school. I thank God for that. The Lord dealt with me as far back as I can remember. I always believed Jesus would come back to this earth again. No matter how people would argue against it, I knew He was coming back. Later on, that knowledge put a fear in my heart of not being ready for His return.

My parents were in show business and I loved those shows. Yet, even before the Lord saved me, He dealt with me and took out the love for the shows.

When my own home was broken up, back in South Dakota, I didn’t know which way to turn. I was working for some people who were planning to come to the camp meeting that the Apostolic Faith people were holding in Portland, Oregon. I did not really care where I went as long as I got away, so I came along.

I am so thankful I came here and the Lord saved my soul! My mother said I would be back home in six months, but I have been here for thirty-two years, serving God. He also sanctified me and later He baptized me with the Holy Ghost. The way is getting better every day.
