Testimonies of Transformed Lives

The three people in the picture to the left gave their testimonies of how God has been working in them through the study of Experiencing God. The three people pictured from left to right are Laura Wetley, Mike Bloom, and Jodi Shaw. All of them have gone through a 13 week course offered in the Fall of 2009 at their respective churches.

Back in September 2009, five of the Central Baptist Association churches had 78 people come from 13 states to lead Experiencing God Weekends. Through these weekends and the 13 week studies which took place, several of the churches have seen many lives change as a result of the weekends and the studies that have taken place.

At our meeting on Saturday, April 10, Laura Wetley and Jodi Shaw from Waterbrook Community Bible Church in Tomah shared how the Lord has made dramatic changes in their lives and in the lives of their family members. Jodi teaches a children's class and she has experienced God in ways like never before. Laura shared a testimony how her sister has been freed from alcohol addiction. The Holy Spirit led her to intervene in her life.

Mike Bloom is a former Jehovah's Witness of 17 years. He became a Christian in the Spring of 2009. In September he came to Prairie Springs Church in Sun Prairie, now Transformation Church on the Sunday of the Experiencing God Weekend. Mike could tell that he did not come on an ordinary Sunday. He has grown dramatically in the Lord through the 13 week Experiencing God study in the Fall. Now in the Spring of 2010, he has just finished leading the 8 week study of Fresh Encounter as a small group leader at Transformation Church.

We thank the Lord for being at work in the lives of these three people and many more from our churches. God has done amazing things through prayer and Bible study in these different studies. Churches like Waterbrook Community Bible Church of Tomah and Transformation Church of Sun Prairie have seen much fruit. Praise the Lord for His goodness to us!!!
