This is MI Story

  In January 2018, Farmington church sent out Bible Study Offer direct-mailing cards to the community. I received one and told the leader of my Bible Study group (not SDA, just a monthly women’s Bible Study group).

  Grief and loneliness were settling in. I had been a widower for sixty days. A snow storm was blowing outside which did not concern me as I had lived in Michigan all my life. I had an art class but upon arrival I learned the class had been canceled. I felt impressed to visit a gal who volunteers there. During…

  I started reading a booklet that came in the mail called On The Edge of Time, a condensed Great Controversy. There was a card inside to order the Amazing Facts Bible study program for free. On it was a line for a prayer request. I wrote “100% Conversion.” After a life full of so many struggles…

  My story began when my dad died in 1999. When he passed, I wanted nothing to do with organized religion and instead ran to paganism. I bought books, read up on various topics and delved into metaphysics (i.e. tarot cards, divination, etc.). Over the next 20 years I would learn more and more of the different…
