How long have you been members of Straightway Baptist Church?almost 2 years Who invited you to join our church, or what interested you in joining our church? My aunt Christine invited me one Sunday. I remember it was one of those bring a guest Sundays and I got addicted.

Comments about Pastor Guarneri:Although I was raised in a Christian home, I never really took it seriously until that Sunday morning when Pastor Guarneri asked the question about your salvation, and whether you were sure you would go to heaven. I looked at how God had blessed me and walked with me over the years and I got saved. The Pastor made it look so simple, and made you feel welcomed to the church. To date he still makes you feel comfortable, bt most of all, he never jdges. You can see it on his face. Thanks Pastor.

Interesting story, incident, or answer to prayer: Ever since I joined the church, I find myself reading the Bible more and my prayers are always answered. Surely it is true of the verse that says, He is the same today as He was yesterday. John 15:7 "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you". I have experienced this a whole lot this year.

As far as an interesting incident, a week after Pastor Guarneri baptized me, I joined the church and found out that I was pregnant with my 4th child .I just thank the Lord for the strength, peace and joy that he has brought to our home and I know he will continue to bless us.

Give us your salvation testimony:I was going through so much before my salvation that I finally decided to listen to the little voice inside that was calling me. Ever since I got saved, I am so peaceful and nothing bothers me and nothing seems impossible. With God on your side, even if others look at it as impossible, I always know and feel God will come through for me. He ALWAYS has. It was the best decision I ever made in my life.

Give us your spouse’s testimony.He got saved in our home. Pastor Guarneri prayed with him.
