Francis' Testimony (September 2026)

Derrick's Testimony (August 2026)

Sesan's Testimony (April 2020)

I was a vibrant young man who was combining education and football (soccer). I played for my state and I played for my higher institution even to the highest level (All Nigerian polytechnic games). I finished my ND and went back for my HND. I was just a church goer then, partying a lot with lots of drinking and smoking.

On one faithful day on the 20th of November 2001, I was traveling from Lagos State down to Ekiti State in Nigeria. On my way my vehicle had an accident that claimed the lives of majority of the occupants in the bus. I died instantly and was laid among the dead bodies on the roadside. Miraculously I came back to life after a while, but with a broken neck and a spinal cord injury. It was so severe that only one doctor could perform the operation on me in the whole West Africa (or so I was told). The operation was successful and I stayed months in the hospital. I was later discharged, but to my annoyance I couldn't move any part of my body except to lift my hands.

I was in bedridden for 2 years and six months. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and became a born again. I then started seeking the miracle healing power of God. I was in wheelchair for 4 more years. Against all odds I began moving my legs and I started standing. I started studying more and more on faith, and God did it for me. I started walking but my fingers were not functioning at all, only the right thumb that I am using up till now.

I am skipping a lot because I intend to write a book on this, very soon God willing. A doctor came all the way from Manchester in England when she heard that I was walking.

One terrible thing I can never forget is how I used to feed while I was bedridden. I would open my mouth and they will drop food inside as if you are feeding an animal. I am indeed a MIRACLE!!

Everyone who knows about the incident always appreciates and praise God. You can go through anything I post on facebook and see the comments for you to know what I am saying. I bless God for what he has done for me. One amazing thing about God in my life is that I cannot hold anything, but I can hold a microphone to talk, in fact everything about me even now is still a miracle. With my fingers not functioning I still manage to use a spoon to feed myself. I am still believing God for perfection in some areas.

Kent Hopper's Testimony (July 2015)

I am Kent Douglas Hopper, Director of Turning Leaf Ministries Canada and a leader in God’s church.

I was saved at the age of 13. Back then, God spoke to my heart and told me I would be a great man for His kingdom. That same word was confirmed by my Sunday school teacher, and the very next week by my pastor, who preached on the biblical calling of a minister. I walked faithfully with the Lord all through high school.

However, during those years, I was beaten daily by my father for stepping in to protect my brothers. Suffering that abuse, I came to the distorted conclusion that God was not for me. Terrified by the calling to ministry and using my father’s abuse as an excuse to run, I walked away from God and turned to the enemy.

I dived deep into drinking and drugs—including speed, LSD, heroin, and cocaine. I learned to use my temper to terrify people, threatening their lives, and eventually became a hitman for the bikers and the mafia. I thought I was on "easy street," but it only led to absolute destruction. I was the man building his house on the sand; every time the storms came, I was washed away.

Realizing I needed help, I tried AA but didn't fit in. Then, a friend took me to an NA speaker meeting. I felt immediately at home. That was on April 7th, 1995, and I have never left—it became my second home.

Today, I stand on the side of the Lord. I hear His voice, and He answers my prayers. I used to think walking with God was hard, but it is so easy when you let Him take the lead. All the pressure is off! Now, I am led by His dreams and desires. His ways are my ways, His thoughts are my thoughts, and He has my whole life. It took God six years of intensive healing to get me to this place, but today, I love people and feel their pain—which is so much better than causing it.

God has led me here to help others find the cross. He has given me a radio show to preach His Word, a wonderful wife and son for His glory, and appointed me Director of Turning Leaf Ministries. I am also currently preparing to do God’s work at Crandall University.

Come see God for who He truly is, not for what the world says He is. I welcome the opportunity to come to your church, share this testimony, and introduce our ministry to your congregation. Thank you, and God bless.

— Director Kent Douglas Hopper

Prince's Testimony (Sept 2014)

This is a testimony from an inmate named Prince I have been writing and praying for since 2012. I will post sections of his letter to me:

"I have finally been granted parole! 14 years and 8 months I have been in the belly of the whale, and now I am being released. God is good all the time. I just got word of it about 2 weeks ago, and I have just been numb. I guess the gravity of the situation hasnt fully sank in yet.
God is so good, because he has truly answered my prayer exactly how I asked it while in my time of distress when I clearly didnt feel I was entitled to it. I have to fulfill my end of the agreement and live my life for God, and giving my testimony"

Hallelujah! Indeed, God is a merciful God!

Sheryl's Testimony (Sept 20th, 2012)

I have an awesome testimony! It would take a whole book to tell it all, but here is what happened:

The doctors told my son that I only had two months to live. Soon after, I fell into a coma. I didn’t know how long I was out, but I just recently found out that I was actually in the hospice section of the hospital.

While I was in that coma, I found myself somewhere very, very dark. The people in that place were mistreating me terribly. But even as they were mistreating me, there was always a kind, gentle voice right over my left side calling my name. I kept looking around, but I couldn't see anyone.

Eventually, I fell asleep in that place. When I woke up, I was in a place filled with a light so bright, like the sun, that I had to shield my eyes just to see. I looked to my left, and I saw a pair of feet. The body attached to them was radiating bright light—all I could clearly make out were the feet. In this beautiful, bright place, there were so many children. They were jumping around, laughing, playing, and just completely HAPPY.

I started to cry. A lady I couldn't see spoke to me in a tender voice and asked, "Why are you crying?" I said, "I just want to go home! I want to go home!" She looked at me and said, "Oh, you're going home."

I laid back down, still trapped in the coma back in the physical world. In my mind, I was crying out for someone to help me, but people just kept walking right past my hospital room door. Finally, I said to the FATHER, "Either I am going to die here, or I am going to live." With that, I threw myself out of the hospital bed!

The nurses came running into the room. A Sister came in, looked down at me laying on the floor, and shouted my exact name: "SHERYL!!"

Right then, I heard a loud "POP!!!" and I snapped right out of the coma! The very first thing I said was, "GET ME OFF THE FLOOR!!" They all just stared at me like they had seen a ghost.

Ain't He grand? I call Him a Class-A Act!!! It has been two years since that day, and against all medical odds, I am still here! Glory to God!

Adam's Testimony (May 16th, 2012)

Hello friend. I know you do not know me, but I would like to share a story with you in the hope that it will change your life just as it changed mine.

A few months ago, my life hit rock bottom. I was addicted to drugs and pornography, severely depressed, and everything in my life was spiraling out of control. I was also a professed atheist. I didn't believe in anything I couldn't see or hear, and I didn't even believe in an afterlife. I don't know what challenges you might be facing today, but I know we all have areas in our lives where we need help. Let me share how I found my solution.

One night, out of pure boredom, I was browsing the internet and came across a Christian website featuring the “Sinner’s Prayer.” The text explained that if I said this prayer and genuinely meant it, Christ would enter my heart, save me from my afflictions, and live inside of me. I read it and thought, “Wouldn't it be cool if this were real? If I could just say a few words and make all these problems go away?” I thought it was complete nonsense, but since I had tried everything else with zero success, I figured I had nothing to lose.

Deep down, a part of me was desperately hoping it would work—it felt like my absolute last shot. I said the prayer, asked God to lift my addictions and depression, and went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up entirely rejuvenated. I wasn’t tired or sluggish from the drugs I had taken the previous night. Instead, I felt happier than I ever had in my entire life, filled with a sudden brightness and love. At first, I thought it was just a psychological trick, but it was real. The prayer had actually worked.

I knew it was supernatural because I suddenly had zero desire for drugs. I quit everything that very day, cold turkey, with no relapses and no withdrawals. I was completely free.

Instantly, I became a better version of myself. My strained relationships with family and friends began to heal, and everyone noticed the rapid change, asking how I had transformed so quickly. This opened my eyes. For my entire life, I looked at Christians as ignorant fools who were blind to reality. Little did I realize, I was the fool.

I am not a religious fanatic; I am just an everyday person who went out on a limb and called out to God for help—and He answered. I’m sharing this because I know someone reading this needs to do exactly what I did. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I pray you take my story seriously. It is 100% true.

If you are ready to take that step, here is the exact prayer I prayed:

“Heavenly Father, I know that I have sinned against You and that my sins separate me from You. I am truly sorry. I want to turn away from my sinful past and turn to You for forgiveness. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins, was raised from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become my Savior and the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You and to convict me when I sin. I pledge to grow in grace and knowledge of You. My greatest purpose in life is to follow Your example and do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

God loves you so much. All He wants to do is help you. If He could deliver someone like me, I know He can do it for you. Say the prayer, get a Bible, start reading, and be saved. God bless you.

Marlyss' Testimony (April 26th 2012)

At the age of 25, I wanted to be a model. I was young, cute, and in shape. I thought I might as well use what I had to get what I wanted—which turned out to be Satan’s trap.

I went to a modeling agency for an interview, but it turned out to be an apartment filled with beautiful, colorful gowns of long and short designs I had never seen before. I was excited, thinking I was on my way to a modeling career. The man running the interview was friendly and asked me to try on whatever gowns I liked, so I did.

The next thing I knew, I was engaged in sex acts that were completely unfamiliar to me. I wasn’t expecting any of this, and I was in a state of shock and disbelief. But the physical sensation was something I had never experienced before. He used his fingers to make me feel wonderful, and that experience opened the door to masturbation for me. Needless to say, I never heard from that agency again. I later found out it was just a front to get free sex from young women who wanted to be models.

For years, I was in bondage to that feeling. I wanted it more than I wanted a man, and it became an addiction several times a day. It didn't matter if I was happy, sad, drunk, or sober—I just wanted that feeling. I was entirely consumed by it. I desperately wanted to stop but couldn’t. I prayed, but nothing seemed to happen.

Years later, I received a few emails from Minister Kenneth. They forced me to face my reality and finally get honest with God. I had to admit that while I wanted to stop, part of me still liked it. Sometimes I would resist, and other times I would willingly give in. God already knew my heart, but when I finally got real with Him, things started to change. I had to trust God and believe that He loved me and truly wanted me free.

So many people struggle with this for different reasons—loneliness, trying to avoid fornication, or other battles—and we end up exchanging one sin for another. Whether you feel it is a sin or not, anything that holds you in bondage is sin. I am now 62 years old. All these years later, I am finally walking in freedom. I learned the hard way that you cannot play with the devil and not get burned. My hope is that my testimony can help someone else find their freedom too.
