I remember being afraid when visiting this ministry back in 2004. I felt as if I didn’t belong and I felt uncomfortable. Later I soon discovered that it was the trick of the enemy trying to make me feel as if I did not belong to this ministry. I met Pastor Obiri for the first time when visiting our home April 2004. On this day my husband and I gave our life to Christ.
We became members of this Church and the rest is history! I can recall Pastor Tony, the church's overseer, visited Houston South Foursquare on a Bible Study evening. He gave me a message from God. He told me that all of my life I felt as if I did not belong to any one, and I felt as if I was not special, but...he said that God wanted me to know that I was right where He wanted me to be, and that I was special in God’s eyes. I will never forget this day as long as I live! This confirmation let me know that I definitely belonged to Houston South Fourquare Church.
My husband and I had our baptism on March 22, 2008. My outlook on life has not been the same. I now make sure that what I say do, and think will be pleasing to God. This is what I now live for to please my King of Kings (GOD). This Church has been a true blessing to my family they practice what they preach that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and no matter where you have been that you are welcome with open arms. I pray that my testimony can encourage others that are struggling with the feeling as if they do not belong. Look to Christ and never look back and you can never go wrong.
With Love, Myiesha Sarpong
