job today though. 213 00:16:20,363 --> 00:16:23,693 Even with those extra guests, we still pulled it off. 214 00:16:23,693 --> 00:16:25,693 So let's welcome Carson. 215 00:16:26,891 --> 00:16:28,058 Carson's from? 216 00:16:30,171 --> 00:16:31,749 Well, I don't know where Carson's from, 217 00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:34,897 but he's joining the volunteer group. 218 00:16:34,897 --> 00:16:37,433 Tell us about yourself Carson. 219 00:16:37,433 --> 00:16:38,843 - I'm not sure about volunteer, 220 00:16:38,843 --> 00:16:42,510 but I guess that's a cool way to look at it. 221 00:16:43,481 --> 00:16:47,433 I just graduated high school, going to Michigan in the fall. 222 00:16:47,433 --> 00:16:51,850 Got a partial golf scholarship which is cool I guess. 223 00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:55,558 Parents are pretty relaxed. 224 00:16:55,558 --> 00:17:00,142 Dad's a banker or something, mom stays at home. 225 00:17:00,142 --> 00:17:03,151 Just doing my time like you guys you know. 226 00:17:03,151 --> 00:17:04,437 - Carson, I think it's important 227 00:17:04,437 --> 00:17:07,723 that you hear some testimonies from some of the folks here 228 00:17:07,723 --> 00:17:09,957 as you're starting. 229 00:17:09,957 --> 00:17:11,623 So Ms. B, why don't you start? 230 00:17:11,623 --> 00:17:16,022 - Sure, I remember a time Carson in my life 231 00:17:16,022 --> 00:17:20,507 that I didn't know how I was gonna feed my children. 232 00:17:20,507 --> 00:17:21,417 I was working a job 233 00:17:21,417 --> 00:17:23,696 that wasn't really paying the money that I needed 234 00:17:23,696 --> 00:17:27,563 so I had to scrape to make ends meet. 235 00:17:27,563 --> 00:17:31,009 And I had some friends that needed help one time 236 00:17:31,009 --> 00:17:34,759 and I had the choice between buying groceries 237 00:17:35,784 --> 00:17:37,940 or helping them. 238 00:17:37,940 --> 00:17:42,218 And I really believe that God spoke to me and told me 239 00:17:42,218 --> 00:17:46,810 if I just trust Him, there's nothing He wouldn't do for me. 240 00:17:46,810 --> 00:17:48,173 So I did. 241 00:17:48,173 --> 00:17:49,213 I stepped out on faith 242 00:17:49,213 --> 00:17:53,046 and I helped those friends get out of the jam. 243 00:17:53,908 --> 00:17:57,343 Next day, somebody's bringing bags of groceries 244 00:17:57,343 --> 00:18:01,505 to my house saying, "Sis, I just wanted to bless you." 245 00:18:01,505 --> 00:18:03,622 That meant the world to me. 246 00:18:03,622 --> 00:18:05,479 And I tell you from this day forward, 247 00:18:05,479 --> 00:18:08,804 I will never stop trusting and believing 248 00:18:08,804 --> 00:18:11,637 that God can do anything, anything 249 00:18:12,903 --> 00:18:15,850 if you just ask and just believe. 250 00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:18,629 It says if you have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, 251 00:18:18,629 --> 00:18:21,579 if you knew how really small that seed was, 252 00:18:21,579 --> 00:18:22,996 it won't be hard. 253 00:18:23,991 --> 00:18:25,698 Just trust Him. 254 00:18:25,698 --> 00:18:28,769 - Well I mean, I really don't wanna get into it 255 00:18:28,769 --> 00:18:30,301 how I got here. 256 00:18:30,301 --> 00:18:32,167 Maybe that's for a later conversation, 257 00:18:32,167 --> 00:18:37,167 but all I can say is it wasn't for this ministry here, 258 00:18:37,318 --> 00:18:39,926 I would probably be dead. 259 00:18:39,926 --> 00:18:43,785 I praise God for everything and this ministry. 260 00:18:43,785 --> 00:18:47,530 This is my second chance, it really is. 261 00:18:47,530 --> 00:18:50,119 - All right, you got two hours. 262 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,027 - Two hours? 263 00:18:51,027 --> 00:18:53,388 - Yeah, till we get ready for dinner. 264 00:18:53,388 --> 00:18:54,969 Take a break. 265 00:18:54,969 -->

00:45:23,275 --> 00:45:28,275 Now, for you and me, we're just stuck in the pits right now. 680 00:45:33,178 --> 00:45:36,928 - Hi, I grew up in 12 different foster homes. 681 00:45:39,304 --> 00:45:41,304 I never felt I belonged. 682 00:45:42,311 --> 00:45:43,728 I never felt I... 683 00:45:47,482 --> 00:45:50,232 - My wife left me six months ago. 684 00:45:52,376 --> 00:45:53,376 I was alone. 685 00:45:54,998 --> 00:45:55,998 I was broke. 686 00:46:01,191 --> 00:46:02,441 I was homeless. 687 00:46:06,781 --> 00:46:10,593 - I couldn't get that high that I was looking for. 688 00:46:10,593 --> 00:46:14,676 I just kep on buying more, smoking more and more. 689 00:46:17,122 --> 00:46:20,622 - Well, I was sexually molested at age 12. 690 00:46:27,806 --> 00:46:29,889 And I never told anybody. 691 00:46:34,093 --> 00:46:38,343 - My mom, she left my dad and moved to Grand Rapids 692 00:46:40,167 --> 00:46:42,334 when I was six months old. 693 00:46:45,629 --> 00:46:46,962 She had 10 kids. 694 00:46:48,183 --> 00:46:50,016 Oh, I was number five. 695 00:46:51,912 --> 00:46:53,329 I was born drunk. 696 00:46:56,027 --> 00:46:59,194 - My mother abandoned my father and I. 697 00:47:00,158 --> 00:47:03,741 My father never really got over her leaving 698 00:47:06,684 --> 00:47:10,601 so he turned to alcohol and he turned to drugs. 699 00:47:21,314 --> 00:47:24,147 But he wouldn't stop the drinking, 700 00:47:27,204 --> 00:47:30,204 but he wouldn't give me away either. 701 00:47:31,479 --> 00:47:33,729 So we lived in the shelters 702 00:47:35,712 --> 00:47:38,045 and

00:48:18,439 - Why? 707 00:48:18,439 --> 00:48:21,189 - Because no one should be alone. 708 00:48:23,857 --> 00:48:25,940 - I hate testimony night. 709 00:48:27,391 --> 00:48:28,664 I knew eventually I'd hear one 710 00:48:28,664 --> 00:48:31,414 that would send me over the edge. 711 00:48:34,487 --> 00:48:35,487 I live here. 712 00:48:37,145 --> 00:48:37,978 - I know. 713 00:48:40,927 --> 00:48:44,427 - My father, he was just like that lady's. 714 00:48:45,686 --> 00:48:46,671 I knew he loved me. 715 00:48:46,671 --> 00:48:49,421 He just never wanted to get help. 716 00:48:50,858 --> 00:48:52,441 He died last month. 717 00:48:54,186 --> 00:48:58,186 I didn't have anywhere to go so they took me in. 718 00:49:00,378 --> 00:49:03,211 - Last night, I found Christ here. 719 00:49:05,686 --> 00:49:08,527 I'm not sure what that all means. 720 00:49:08,527 --> 00:49:12,271 I just know I need Him to guide my life. 721 00:49:12,271 --> 00:49:13,938 And now, I now care. 722

that every story is important. 948 01:02:09,351 --> 01:02:10,907 Each and every one of us have been created 949 01:02:10,907 --> 01:02:13,824 by a powerful God and inside of us, 950 01:02:14,764 --> 01:02:18,931 He's placed a story to reveal Himself to everyone. 951 01:02:19,769 --> 01:02:24,269 And tonight we are gonna get started with a young man. 952 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,659 Now, this

01:02:44,799 --> 01:02:46,939 He was a little bit of a grump, 959 01:02:46,939 --> 01:02:50,272 but he pressed through and God has done the work. 960 01:02:50,272 --> 01:02:53,274 So right now, I want you to make some noise 961 01:02:53,274 --> 01:02:58,274 as the dish king, our very own disk king Mr. Carson Campbell 962 01:02:58,843 --> 01:03:00,402 is gonna be sharing his testimony tonight. 963

01:03:31,235 I never worried about money, 970 01:03:31,235 --> 01:03:35,652 about buying nice clothes, or car, or feeding myself. 971 01:03:38,303 --> 01:03:42,553 And even though I had all that, I was still broken. 972 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:48,278 I didn't arrive here homeless, but I was homeless. 973 01:03:48,278 --> 01:03:51,560 You see, I was eternally homeless. 974 01:03:51,560 -->

01:04:17,057 --> 01:04:19,479 I mocked him because he was homeless 981 01:04:19,479 --> 01:04:22,064 because he looked different 982 01:04:22,064 --> 01:04:25,481 because he was hungry and I'm so ashamed. 983 01:04:31,297 --> 01:04:35,130 His name is Lieutenant Colonel, Robert Madrid. 984 01:04:36,311 --> 01:04:39,392 I owe you a lifetime of apologies, 985 01:04:39,392 --> 01:04:43,559 but you
