Summary

I was born in a small town in Pennsylvania to a humble family and, despite achieving worldly success after moving to Indiana and starting a family, I always felt an emptiness inside. I searched for answers in life’s pleasures but nothing filled that void until I encountered Jesus Christ. Through persistent questioning and the steadfast prayer of my wife, Carla, I experienced a life‐changing transformation—accepting Jesus, receiving salvation, and even witnessing a miraculous healing from a rare blood disease. God restored not only my spirit but also healed my body, and as I began ministering my testimony, I saw His power work through others as well. My story is a living proof that when we surrender to God and obey His voice, He can transform our lives and use us to bring His light to a hurting world.

(This filming was the first time I met brother Jim in person. I was asked to film him sharing his testimony. Little did I know that God would link us together as the years have gone by like He has to help brother Jim reach lost souls through the Testimony Books he and his wife Carla have been publishing for nearly 20 years now as of this video – Norm Rasmussen).
