    I just found your channel and loved hearing your testimony. I live about 45 miles north west of Millersburg. I really understood the emotion you showed about Nick’s conversation. My husband was a raging alcoholic. After 19 years of marriage I was ready to divorce him for our two boys sake. After praying for years. We went to a program at a local church and he gave his life to Christ. God took the alcohol from him instantly and he hasn’t drank since that wonderful night October 29, 1990. It is such a glorious thing when you see a change right away. God is so good.

Wish I had time to testify but I will just say I am so glad Jesus chose me for one of his own!!!! Praise his name!!!!

    When you said you’ve rededicated your life many times that hit me so so hard. I am crying right now. I recently rededicated my life to the Lord for a “many a time” now. I felt so defeated coming back to Him because I just felt like I’ve screwed up so many times in my 34 years. I am independent fundamental baptist, I’ve grown up as such, so it has always felt like screwing up is a really big deal, but hearing you say this gave me so much hope just in knowing that I am not alone in many rededication’s. Thank you so much for this and God bless you❤️

    I just had a talk with my 16 year old daughter who is much wiser than her years and when she heard me listening to your video she went online and did some research on local Baptist churches she wanted to make sure that we found a church that was accessible because I have to occasionally use a wheelchair I had some surgery on one leg and needed on the other anyway she also wanted to make sure it had to use the program that she could get involved in and came to me with a list of a couple that she thought would be good and decided that Sunday morning her and I are going to start going to church. She found our Bibles the one she was given as an infant and mine that I've had for years put them on the kitchen island so we would know where they were and we're going to church together for the first time really ever. So thank you so much for sharing your story and your testimony because it has stirred up some hopefulness.

    English husband, father, grandfather here. I just randomly found your video. Wife and I watched it. Loved your testimony. We are born again Christian's in West Virginia. Very genuine heart. Loved the video.
    Just so you know. We used to go to church in byesville ohio for a while. The church was comprised of many mennonites. It's been many years ago. But boy I loved that church. The people were just genuine. Big hearted. We drove about 2 hours one way to the church. But the people would argue whose house we would go to in between morning and evening service. Your heart would just melt with the love they gave you.
    Though there were a couple oddities. The holy kiss. I couldn't go for that. Smile. But one difference that just stood out. If my memory is correct. I think the women sat on one side of the church and the men on the other. The reason I mention that. When they sang praises. Oh my. The blend of voices. The baratones coming from one side. The tenors from the other all in harmony. Beautiful.
    Though I disagreed on a few things. Mainly the biggest. I was saved in 1989. Was divorced 7 years before that. My wife committed adultery. But remarried in 1989 and was saved shortly after. That was a problem in that church. So it didnt last. But I did love the people. Big hearts.
    Sorry for the long windedness. But loved your testimony. Look up. We are getting close.

    New to your channel. Thank you for giving your testimony and witness for our Lord. I sat down and read the King James cover to cover when I was 18. Even though I attended my parent's church, I felt there was more I should know and prayed for understanding and help. Life was confusing. Providence brought me to my new supervisor at work her name was Fern. There was something "different" about her. I got the courage to ask. I told her that whatever she had, I wanted to come into my life. She smiled and said she was a saved, born again Christian and Jesus worked through her to reach my heart. That was 1974 . I was 24. And I thank God every day!

    I love your testimony. I was moved to tears. I too am a Christian. I made my comment to Christ at the age of 6. It’s the best decision I ever made. I have strayed but came back to Christ. To think what he did for us. The song I Can Only Imagine makes me think what will I do when I see him. I think I will fall to the ground and worship him. I don’t know. When you talked about your husband becoming a Christian made me think about my husband. We had been married quite a while when he became a Christian, our lives changed from that day. I praise God for that. Everyone could see the change. He was a good man before but he became so humble. So so thankful. Thank you! Thank you! You are so special!! God Bless you!!

    Ive been following a terminal cancer patient and he died friday. He suffered but always thought of others and wanted to vlog his journey to the very end which he did. It hit me hard that his actions were a reflection of the lord on the cross. He suffered but wanted us to learn from him valuable lessons just like dan did with his vlog. The lord died for us so we could be forgiven. He endured all that for us. That is the greatest love.
    I seen this love shine thru dan and it was the lord shining thru him. Trust in the lord always ❤

    This is by far one of my favorites!! I love hearing testimonies...they just confirm over and over for me how faithful our God is. His grace and mercy never cease to amaze me. I had a rough year last year, my mom got sick, my daughter was briefly hospitalized, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had to abruptly move from the apartment I lived in for 15 years. Had I not had the Lord in my life, I'm not sure I would've survived it all - but His peace, His love and His comfort carried me through it all. My mom ended up passing away this past June, and even though I was (am) heartbroken, I have an overwhelming peace knowing that she too had been saved. He held me when everything was falling apart and now my daughter is doing much better, I moved into a beautiful apartment (much better than the one I left), and I am a cancer survivor - praise the Lord!!! Thank you for sharing your story. Oh and by the way, I also get very emotional when I think of how undeserving I was (am) when the Lord called me to serve Him, but I keep telling myself, He doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called! God bless!

    Lynette, I recently became a subbie thru watching Roselyn at Cetinas Country Cottage video. I grew up in a Pentecostal church from the age of 3. I remember vivedly making the commitment to become a Christian. At the age of 5, in a Sunday school class, one of the Associate pastors of our church felt to come down to the Sunday school classrooms to pray over the children and preceeded to ask if anyone would like to pray and ask Jesus into there heart and life, to become a Christian.
    I was tearing up at your testimony and especially at the part when Nick made the commitment to Jesus. What a blessing to hear how the Lord ordered your steps and orchastrated your lives.

    I'm not a believer (atheist, I wasn't raised with religion) but the way that you talk about your relationship with the Lord is beautiful. How you're overcome with emotion is so moving. It reminds me of the one time I've gone to church. You can feel the weight (or power, maybe presence) in the room. It's undefinable and incredible. I don't know if it's was the community, the atmosphere, or maybe I'm crazy. Anyways, that experience always gives me a little uncertainty about my beliefs when I remember back. Thank you for bringing that memory back. With the current state of the world, it's a smile I really needed. (Even though this video is 2ish years old.)

    I live in OHIO too, and I am a Christian. I am blessed to hear your testimony. I loved the Lord my entire life, but did not realize I needed to give my life to him. So, I did no become a born again till I was in my 45's. Now at 69, I am a witness for Christ because I want everyone to meet in heaven!

    This is very interesting, thank you for sharing your amazing story. I have always been under the impression that being either Amish or Mennonite, that you were automatically a Christian, as my understanding that the lifestyle of Amish & Mennonite all revolved around Biblical teachings, dedicating your life to the lord, and Christianity. I do apologize, I am a little confused on the topic.

    • @LynetteYoder
      @LynetteYoder  4 года назад +15

      That is definitely the case! We have generally been taught well in Scripture etc. The Amish tend to base their salvation more on works instead of a faith based relationship. Some think you can’t know that you are saved! Which I cannot understand! It’s so clear in the Bible that a person can have the assurance of salvation. But - no- we aren’t automatically a Christian just because of our lifestyle ..☺️

    @patmurphy389 4 года назад +2

    Lynette, thank you for sharing your story & testimony! I really enjoyed it. I became a Christian & accepted the lord at fourteen, then fell away from the lord. Got sidetracked. I always grew up in church, ours was a very strict church, protestant, no going to movies, no dancing, no worldly things, no jewelry ect. We also had a split in our church(church of god)and a few of the members decided to go to other churches as well because of disagreements w/policies, so I guess it isn't unusual for those things to happen. I always had a high respect of the amish & still do. I don't see it as funny or weird because I totally understand it. Now i'm in my sixties & I'm married to a wonderful man who is very good to me. The lord has been good to both of us. It seems you had a lot of work experience which is a good thing and good for life lessons as well. I'm so happy for you that your husband decided to accept Christ into his heart. Isn't our lord wonderful? I hope god blesses you both as you continue to do his work & raise your family!

    I grew up not as a believer and making very bad choices, at the age of 30 i gave my life to Jesus and two years later so did my husband then God led us to an Amish Mennonite Church here in Lancaster PA, ( we are originally from Philly). I loved hearing your testimony! Thank you for sharing. You had me tearing up! I'll be praying for you during your move! 🙏

  • @debbienorton1054
    @debbienorton1054 2 года назад +2

    You are just awesome! I grew up as a Southern Baptist so I can relate to you so clearly. Our beliefs are pretty much the same, I'm sure there may be a few differences, but that's ok , everyone is different. Your family and what you speak of is how I was raised, My Dad is an ordained deacon, he is 83 now. Keep up the great work and service that you provide. i also met a guy back when I was 16- he is a Christian but with guys it's hard for them to show emotion at times. 34 years later we are still happily married with a grandson about the same age as your beautiful babies. Staxon is 15 months old and he brings us such joy! My faith in Jesus Christ has always guided me with my decisions and he has gotten me through some hard times as well. My daughter is 7 years: clean" from hard drugs which was a challenge. Tested me to no end but in the end it all worked out. I just prayed to God one day driving down the road in tears" Lord just Fix It" and he did. She is amazing. She now gives her testimony. Even as a Christian we fall, get back up, ask for forgiveness and do what Jesus wants us to do.

    I have been watching your videos for about a year or two. I never heard your testimony before-but I started to cry as you told your testimony of faith and then again when you told your husband’s. I just praise God for His work in your husband. Jesus just makes all the difference in our lives. Everything isn’t perfect, but wow! What an amazing thing to belong to the Lord! ♥️🙌🏾

    Beautiful testimony Lynette, thank you for sharing with us. I am glad your church taught the plan of salvation from the beginning. I know there are a lot of Amish that don’t understand it and are not even encouraged to read their Bibles. We could be distant cousins. Genealogy is one of my hobbies and my grandfather’s side of the family is all from the Walnut Creek, Sugarcreek area. I have lots of Hostetlers, Millers, Gerbers, Yoders and Stutzman’s in my family tree. I know of at least 5 ancestors that were early pioneers to that area starting around 1812. They all started out Amish but the last several generations were Mennonite.

    This is a very nice video and I thank you for posting it. I live in Ohio and I spent quite a lot of time in Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties in my younger days. I'm now 66 years old and I'm spending a lot of time down there again. I had a lot of Old Order Amish friends when I was younger and I have to say I've always been very confused by all the different types of Amish there are! The ones that intrigue me the most are the Swartzentruber (Schwartzentruber) Amish, but I'm not sure why. I was told they don't talk to us "English". I have bought baskets from them and found them to be very nice people. But I happen to think most people are very nice!
    I have just subscribed to your channel.

    What a sweet testimony...I was about 8 or 9 and I just remember going to a revival at the church just down the road from where I lived...went to church with a friend. I can still feel my little heart pounding inside of me as the Holy Spirit filled me up and I invited Jesus into my heart! Not dramatic, by any means, but a life changing decision for me!
