At New Song Community Church, we believe prayer works. C.S. Lewis said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” Just because we can’t see God, doesn’t mean we can’t see evidence of God through prayers He answers.
Along with the hundreds of people who choose to believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior every year because of one of New Song’s many ministries, which is the greatest of all miracles, he reveals Himself to us by the testimonies of how He performs miracles in people’s lives. If you have a story you want to share, write that story in the comment section below.

All my life God has been there for me. No matter how bad things in my life were, I knew I could always turn to him for comfort and resolution. My family couldn't understand the pain I've been through in my life. Some would lend an ear, but it was only God I felt truly understood. God has always been my guiding light and has never let me down especially in my darkest hours. Without God's loving guidance I don't think I would have become the person I am today. I pray that others can find the same solace as I have found by following God. Amen

Throughout my life I thought I believed in GOD, but never had given much thought to him. I did not have a personnel relationship with him. That all changed on an October night in 1988. Up until that night I was a sinner. I did not think that I was, but I was.. My family had moved to Carlsbad, California two years earlier. For one year we lived apart. I lived with my mother in Marlton, New Jersey. It was good that I did as she was very ill. I was there to help her since she was alone. I came out to Californian in 1986 We were living in Carlsbad, California and had just been laid off from my job after a year. I was starting a new job in Corona, California, 95 miles away. My first day on my new job I left work at 4:30 pm drove down Main Street in Corona to the 91 Freeway then to the I-15 South. I settled in for the 1.5 hour trip listening to a Los Angeles, California radio station, KRTH, 101.1. After about a mile or so I suddenly felt ill. I had no fever or cough; I just felt like a brick was in my stomach. I was concerned because this was my first day on the job, I had no sick leave available, my health insurance was not activated. After a few seconds the music on the radio began to grate on me. I could literally not stand the music which now was a very annoying sound to me. I inserted a tape, thinking that would help. It did not, the music continued to grate on me. In desperation I turned off the radio and focused on getting home. At that point, the voice of JESUS CHRIST said softly in my head. “Turn to a religious station”. I remember my hand moving toward the radio switch as if guided by an unseen force. In hindsight, I know it was JESUS who was guiding me, I turned the radio on, oblivious to the fact that I was now normal, the “illness” had left me and the radio did not bother me. I went up the dial looking for a religious station. I remember being concerned that I would not find one or that I would not recognize it. At the end of the dial I found KWVE, 107.9. It was about 4:40 pm, Pastor Raul Ries was teaching on the Book of Revelation. At 5:00 pm Chuck Missler came on. He also was teaching on the Book of Revelation. I listened intently all the way home. I could not wait for the next day so I could listen on the 90 minute drive. Day after day, driving to and from work, I listened as Bible teacher after Bible teacher explained the word of GOD. I developed a thirst for GOD’s word and for the first time in my life I began to really understand the Bible. Sometimes I was skeptical, but GOD was patient as I listened. Several days later on the I-15 Freeway outside of Fallbrook, California, with tears of joy, I accepted JESUS CHRIST as my Lord and Savior. It took me several years to realize what really happened that October Night. That the GOD of the universe stepped out of time and talked to me. Revelation 3:20 (Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me) Has special meaning to me. I also realized that for many years GOD was in control of my life and I did not realize it. As I looked back over events that happened to me and my family, I realize that GOD had intervened many times in my life. He went though an awful lot of trouble to get me in position on that October night so he could talk to me. I am glad he did and I am eternally grateful to him. As I drove home that October night I listened to Bible teachers. I learned much. I could not wait for the next morning so I could listen again. I was looking forward to the drive to and from so I could hear the Word of GOD. For the first time in my life the BIBLE became clear to me. I realized that there truly was a GOD, I began to understand his word as it was explained by the pastors. I must say that early on I was a skeptic. But as I listened and received GOD’s word my skepticism went away and I realized that GOD loved me and he wanted a personnel relationship with me.

My story is that my life is a long testimony of God's goodness, sovereignty and unfailing love. I would take up this whole page if I wrote all the things God has done for me. But what I want to share is how he restored my marriage. After nearly four years of separation, my God gave me a renewed desire for my husband in a way that I could never have imagined humanly possible - especially if you know the details of why we were separated. Today my husband is a man who loves me with sweet words, and acts of service, and is so much more than what I thought was ever possible in my marriage. God is teaching me to love someone who is not like me, and by His strength I see my husband as the man that he was created to be...not the man I would have manipulated him into - and that's the truth. I am so grateful that God re-created our marriage. We forgave each other many wrongs, and now we have a deep love and understanding for each other, and a true testament to how God's mercies are new each morning! 11 years and counting.... :)
