Get to know Marcus Penwell The Watching World

God’s love for us is immeasurable and the fact that He is mighty to save is a miracle in and of itself. Hearing testimonies of how God has saved the lost is always a reason to praise Him and brings immense joy to our hearts as Christians. In this talk, Marcus Penwell, security director at Abundant Life Church in Lee’s Summit, MO tells of his salvation and what God has done in his life since.

Growing up, Marcus was drawn to the occupation of being a police officer. He followed his childhood dream, but once it was reality, he realized the dark side of the life he had chosen. It wasn’t bad enough that people he would encounter every day would disrespect him, but his girlfriend did not approve of his choice and left him, while also terminating a pregnancy. This drew Marcus to alcohol abuse and a close encounter with an attempt at suicide. But God spared his life, (the first time.)

A friend from work talked to him about how God has changed his life, and this drew Marcus into who God is, eventually attending a church service and giving his life to Jesus. Since then, God has protected this man’s life not once but three times in miraculous ways while he was working on the force.
