ROBERT NICHOLS' SALVATION TESTIMONY

The following is the story of the power of prayer.  Jesus heard the prayers of the Mililani Youth Group while on a mission trip to Alaska in the summer of 1997.  This is a letter that he wrote to me in February, 1998

Dear Friends & Fellow Christians, 

My name is Robert Nichols Jr., AndrewÕs Cousin.  You donÕt know me, but you probably know somebody like me.  I want to thank all of you young people in AndrewÕs ministry that prayed for me last year.  Without your prayers, it is very possible that I would not be here today.  ThankÕs to your prayers, and the Grace of God, I am alive and well and have been born again. 

This is my Testimony.  I hope that it may help someone to make the correct choice and dedicate their lives to Christ.

I am 42 years old.  I fell into alcohol when I was 15 years old, which started my downfall.  When I was 17 years of age I started into drugs.  I also had a problem with lust.  Through drugs, alcohol and lust, the Devil robbed me of my family and happiness all through the years.  I was divorced after 9 years of marriage.  Because of me making the wrong choices through life, I went down the hard road.  I know now that God must have been watching over me or else I would have ended up like a lot of my so called friends and family.  In Jail or dead.  For the past 2 & 1/2 years I wanted to change my life and give up drugs and alcohol.  I went through counseling and therapy but nothing worked for very long.  I was really getting depressed because I could not change my life.  So last summer I decided I would just end it. 

Well, God had a different plan for me.  After traveling the country and visiting my kids and relatives for three months, I decided it was time to end it all.  I got hold of enough heroin to kill an Elephant  and cut myself up pretty bad hoping to bleed to death.  But by the grace of God it didnÕt kill me.  Just before I passed out something came over me and I prayed to God for forgiveness.  The next thing I knew I woke up in an emergency room in the hospital.  A couple of days later I talked to one of my cousins back in Albuquerque and told her that when I get back to Albuquerque I have got to get to a church and get myself saved. 

Well I messed myself up pretty bad so I was in the hospital for two weeks before they would release me.  Anyway to make a long story short, i accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior at an altar call and from that day on I was delivered from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and lust with no withdrawals.  That night I slept like a baby, probably better!  I am not alone any more because God is with me and I have been discovering what True Love is all about... IT IS ABOUT GOD!! 

God Is Love!
