Takeaways

Carrie and Pastor Scott Grabowska have been faithfully serving God for 40 years.

Carrie grew up in a Mormon family but turned away from the religion.

She got saved at 11 years old and had a strong foundation in prayer.

After going through personal struggles, she rededicated her life to Christ and became fully committed.

Carrie and Pastor Scott met and got married after a short period of dating. Growing up in a church that is considered a cult by others can create confusion and challenges in understanding faith.

Following God's will and purpose for your life is essential in ministry and marriage.

Relying on Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit is crucial in times of loneliness and difficulty.

Pioneering and pastoring a church can be challenging, especially when starting with limited resources and support.

Building a strong foundation in faith and being rooted in Jesus is vital for enduring the trials of ministry.

Having a mentor and support system, like Pastor Campbell and Miss Connie, can make a significant impact on one's spiritual journey.

Overseas missionary work can be a transformative experience and can shape one's faith and ministry.

Trusting in God's faithfulness and following His leading can open doors to new opportunities and experiences. Never doubt your calling, even in the face of trials and persecution.

Go to God until you find peace and breakthrough during spiritual battles.

Supernatural miracles can happen in your life.

Children can have their own powerful testimonies and experiences with God.

Challenges and attacks can come even when serving God.

Stay faithful and trust in God's plan. God protected Kerri's son Josiah from the harm the devil had planned for him.

Having a personal relationship with God and not comparing oneself to others is crucial.

Recognizing the reality of spiritual warfare and fighting back against the enemy is important.

Trusting in God's plan and finding contentment in one's unique calling is key.

Kerri's favorite scriptures are Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11.

Takeaways


Pastor Pablo Catala's testimony is a powerful example of God's transformative power in a person's life.
Growing up in a violent and criminal environment, Pastor Pablo was exposed to drugs, gangs, and violence from a young age.
Despite his success in the illegal business, Pastor Pablo felt empty and broken, searching for something more.
His search for meaning led him to explore different religions, including voodoo, but he found no true peace.
Eventually, Pastor Pablo started attending churches but was disappointed by what he saw.
His journey of transformation and redemption highlights the power of God's love and grace to change lives. Sometimes, we go through periods of searching for answers and feeling ignored by God, but He is always there and has a plan for us.
Trying different religions and exploring different paths can be a part of the journey to finding God.
Meeting the right person can profoundly impact our lives and lead us to a deeper understanding of God.
Breaking clean from our old lives and filling our lives with the things of God can bring transformation and purpose.
God's grace and love can change even the most broken relationships and bring healing and restoration. Having a pastor who cares and mentors is crucial to spiritual growth and development.
Pioneering in ministry comes with challenges, but God can do great things with perseverance and faith.
Reaching people in a big city like New York requires empathy, compassion, and a willingness to serve.
Balancing ministry, family, and personal life is important for a healthy and fruitful life.
Surrendering one's life to Jesus brings transformation, purpose, and the opportunity to impact others. Being the first couple launched out from a church to pioneer a new church is a big responsibility and a significant step in ministry.
Moving to a new city and starting a church can be a whirlwind experience, but it is important to fulfill the community's needs and rely on God's guidance.
Ministry is a journey of growth and learning, and pastors need to be humble, compassionate, and willing to learn from their mistakes.
It is crucial for pastors to help people develop a strong relationship with Jesus and not become overly dependent on the pastor.
God's plans often differ from our desires, and it is important to seek His will and trust in His timing.
Bridgeport has been a place of blessing and growth for Pastor Pablo and his church, and they have seen the power of God at work in healing and transforming lives.
