Comments about Pastor Guarneri: Pastor Guarneri was my Sunday  School Instructor at Somerset Bible Baptist Curch.  He is an excellant  teacher / disciple of Jesus Christ.  Pastor lives the word and is  sincere in wanting others to do so in order to have eternal life with  our  heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior.  He is like the "Pied Piper"...so, I followed him!   The  people are like family at Straightway and you feel like you are at home with  alot of company. Straightway is dedicated to preaching the " word" and  the true meaning of it straight form the King James Bible......and that's the  truth!!!!


Interesting story, incident, or answer to prayer: In April of 1988 living in California  a few months, without any family , I sustaine a work related injury that caused me to go on  disalbility.  I had very limited income and did not know how I was  to survive......ended up filing for bankrupcy,. not knowing where my next meak would come from  nor how my bills would get paid.  I stood in my livingroom alone and  turned from wall to wall and no one was there........I raised my hands to the  sky and asked Jesus Christ to come into my life, fore, I knew He was the only  one that could help me.  The next day, I started taking back my life  (since everyonelse seemed to have taken it over) and from that point, I  survived by rebuking Satan out of my life........and here I  am!!!!!!......reborn and recovered for several  years........


Give us your salvation testimony. I grew up as an A.M.E..  My  mother was a Sunday School teacher at one time as a teenager and played the  piano at church.  I did not understand what it meant to learn the Word  back then.  

Although I attended chruch as  a youn adult, I still did not understand.........until the above  situation occured............then I knew Jesus Christ is my Lord and  Savior.....he is the Alpha and the Omega........he is the one who truly loves  me and will take care of me and he will never levae me or forsake  me.........thru all my trials and tribulations, he was and is  there........these things have aloud my faith to continue to  grow  and to continue to learn right from wrong and to live a  more Christ-like life and to "do unto others "........I thank Him  everyday for the good and bad in my life and I call on him everyday for  strength and to help me to continue to grow in his service........I am his  child......



Of what ministries are you a part of? Well, I am not a formal part of a  ministry, however, I cook/bake when the occasion arises which I enjoy  doing.  One day, I will be responsible for birthday greetings to the  members.  I am confident that there will be a minstry that I will be  called  to.
