All Because One Sunday School Teacher Never Gave Up!

Bonnie Hays is the sweet wife of our dear Bro. Mike Hays, the Biblical Counselor. Our church has supported the Hays for many years and it is a great joy to share Bonnie's testimony of salvation with our readers.

What a privilege to give my testimony for our Lord. He has been so good to me through the years.

I was not born into a Christian family and seldom went to church as a child, unless someone came by to pick me up. This was all before church bus ministries started. As a child, I often wondered what life was all about. I thought....you live and you die.... but was that all there was to life?

As a teenager, an Assembly of God church came by to pick us up for church. Across the street was a Baptist church. My sisters and I would ride the Assembly of God bus and then cross the street to the Baptist Church! It wasn't long and they soon stopped picking us up.

When I was old enough to drive, my parents would let me go to church only on Sunday morning. My Sunday School teacher began to visit me in my home. She took a real interest in my life and as she witnessed to me, the Lord began dealing with me.

I had so many questions and she was very patient to answer them for me. She showed me from the Bible that I was a sinner and needed to be saved. Even after I was promoted from her class to the next Sunday School class, she never left me alone. For three years she kept in touch with me.

When I was 19 years old, she came to my house and told me that she would not leave until I got ready to go to a Revival service with her. It was in that service..... that I walked the aisle and accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour!

He has been so good to me all these years, since 1958 when I was born again. He has been with me through good times and hard times. My direction in life has changed completely! I love to go to church! My faith continues to grow! What a wonderful Saviour!

I hope you know Him too.
