Long before they became pastors and leaders, they were simply two young students in Ethiopia—each searching for truth in a time of kings, communism, and spiritual confusion. He was raised under a royal dynasty that called itself “the power of the Trinity.” She grew up in a village where most children never saw a book. Both learned to read barefoot, both faced the rise of an atheist regime, and both found something greater than tradition—an encounter with the living God.

Their story begins with a witness from a younger brother, a single prayer that brought the Holy Ghost, and a baptism that would unite their destinies. From mission schools and government classrooms to secret church meetings and quiet songs of worship, this is the powerful beginning of two lives called by God—a calling that would one day demand everything.

This is Part 1 of The Price of the Promise — the story of how faith found its voice in a land determined to silence it.

He grew up in Yuma, Arizona—right next door to an Apostolic church. He knew the families, saw the children playing, but never stepped inside. Life took him a different way: a childhood marked by loss, a Navy career that carried him across the country, and years of drifting with friends and nightlife. Yet even in those wandering years, God’s hand was guiding him.

One day, after praying a simple prayer—“Lord, if this is the truth, show me”—an unexpected visitor arrived: his cousin, newly converted, sent by God to confirm everything he had asked. It was no coincidence. It was the answer.

In this moving testimony, you’ll hear how God used a backslidden friend, a faithful mother, and a praying cousin to lead him from Catholic tradition into Apostolic truth. You’ll also discover how that decision shaped his marriage, his children, his career, and his walk with God for more than three decades.

This is the story of a man who lived next door to truth, until grace led him in.

He only gave God three weeks. Three weeks to prove this church thing was real. After years of sawmills, hard living in Alaska, and bitter winters in Montana, he arrived in Arizona with nothing but a trailer, a worn-out dog, and a lifetime of regrets. He wasn’t looking for faith—he wasn’t even sure it existed. But inside a small church, something happened that would change his life forever.

In this episode of Paths to Glory, hear the powerful story of a man who walked away from alcohol, laid down his pride, and found more than he ever imagined. What began as a temporary test turned into a permanent transformation—when three weeks with God turned into forever.

From a near-drowning at age five to hiding in a closet from an abusive man, his childhood was marked by chaos, hunger, and survival. Raised in the shadows of addiction, violence, and constant instability, he scavenged dumpsters for food, enrolled himself in school, and searched for God in all the wrong places. But through every dark moment, an unseen hand was guiding him—preserving his life, answering desperate prayers, and drawing him toward truth.

In this powerful testimony, you’ll hear how a boy lost in fear and hopelessness became a man filled with the Holy Ghost, baptized in Jesus’ name, and determined to raise his children in the life-changing power of God. This is the story of how he was drowned…and delivered.

From the icy streets of Alaska to a pulpit in the heartland, one man’s story unfolds with divine interruptions, unexpected reunions, and miracles only God could orchestrate. Abandoned as an infant, adopted by a pastor, and later reunited with the family he never knew—his life came full circle not through pursuit, but through prayer.

In this episode, we follow the astonishing journey of restoration, including the dramatic revival of a toddler pulled lifeless from a swimming pool—just days after a circle of prison inmates prayed for a successful family reunion. But beyond the miracles and reconnections lies the true turning point: a commitment to daily prayer that transformed his entire walk with God.

This isn’t just a story about finding your past. It’s about discovering your purpose. Because when prayer becomes the plan, God writes the story.

After a powerful encounter with God as a teenager, a long season of wandering, and a roadside moment of surrender, his life took a turn few could have predicted.

In this episode, you’ll hear the powerful testimony of a man who found his way back to God—not through a pulpit, but through a broom, a backhoe, and a lifetime of sacrificial service. For nearly three decades, he labored behind the scenes at the church—mowing lawns, cleaning toilets, building, repairing, serving wherever he was needed.

Through accidents, hardship, and physical pain, he remained faithful. And when asked if he’d do it again, his answer was simple:

“I’d do it all again. I’d just try to do it better.”

This is the story of humble obedience, steady devotion, and the kind of quiet faith that leaves a legacy.
