I praise God for His faithfulness to my soul that He brought me under the sound of the Gospel. I was brought up in a little French village, and was sent to the only church there, a Catholic church. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a Bible. My home was a broken-up home—I never knew my mother very well. My grandmother tried to bring me up to be honest and good.

When I was 16 years old my grandmother died, and my father sent me to this country (USA) to be with his people. It was not long until I began to go into the pleasures of the world in sin. I loved those things, but they brought nothing but sorrow and remorse into my life. God would show me my sins, and I would shrink away. Such fear would take possession of me!

Oh, such peace and joy came into my heart!

My husband was a drunkard, and my heart was broken when at last someone told me the Gospel story that Jesus would save my soul and take my sins away. I began seeking God with all my heart, and one morning, alone in my home, God revealed Jesus to me on the Cross of Calvary. With the tears streaming down my face, I looked up toward Heaven to the Cross of Jesus, and that moment God saved me. Oh, such peace and joy came into my heart! He took the love for the things of the world out, and removed that awful remorse and condemnation. I was so wonderfully changed! I could live a Christian life before my drunken husband day after day.

Two nights later God wonderfully sanctified me. Thirty-two years ago I met the Apostolic Faith people, and God brought me among them and baptized me with the Holy Ghost and fire.

If it were not for the Latter Rain Gospel my daughter would not be healed today. She had a large goiter on her neck when I came among these people. Her neck measured 18 inches around. I didn’t know anything about divine healing. I heard of it in a fashion, but not as it is taught here, a fundamental doctrine. God wonderfully healed my daughter through the prayers of these ministers, and He has healed me many times. I praise Him for what He has done for me.
