Beverly LeBlanc’s Testimony
It was my usual routine, taking my children to school. It was going to be my first day at work after my annual vacation leave. We were heading down the Elmshall road and listening to the song that my daughter would play for the 5th Formers in their final school assembly that morning. We were very early and so I was driving slow.
Going a bit downhill, I reached for brakes and could not find any. The next thing I knew was that I was heading down the precipice. The car rolled 3 or 4 times with my four children and I inside. I could hear the children screaming but I never panicked as I knew God had given me peace. The thought of death never crossed my mind. When the car stopped, I was found out of the car and my face was in the water. The car had tumbled into the river. I unlocked the car and looked at the faces of my children. We were alive! I pulled everyone of the children out of the car and formed a circle around them in the river and began worshipping God right there in the river.
I was just thanking and praising him. By the time people came they met me worshipping God and everyone was already out of the car. I gathered my children’s bags which were in the water. I reminded the devil that morning while thanking God that he was not taking me out that easy. A Police Officer tried to stop me. I told him that I was not crazy and I had soundness of mind but I needed him to excuse me while I praised my God. I said “Officer you would not understand and I don’t expect you to but God has to be praised. So please give me chance”. I praised God all the way to the hospital.
That night as I listened to the news and I heard how far I had gone down. It was 50ft. I know for sure that God had delivered me for the snatches of Herod and from the expectation of the enemy as stated in Acts 12:11 . God just stepped in. He took the wheel and placed the car they way he wanted. It was no body but God.
My older daughter, Sheavy, had to undergo minor surgery to her eyes in order to remove pieces of glasses. But thank God her vision was not affected. My younger daughter received a few scratches to her forehead, I got some head injuries and Bryce, my son, got a bump on his face that gave him a black eye . My other son, Leon Jr. did not get a scratch. He was the first to walk across the river. The reports from the doctor were good. All X-rays returned normal. CT scans were also normal. The children are now back at school and we are just so thankful to God for the miracle. God is still in control and is still in the miracles making business. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever. |

Testimony of Kimani Felicite
My Past
I grew up as a strong believer in the catholic faith. It was not so much that it was a strict rule at home that I was a staunch Catholic but it was my way of expressing myself and being involved in my community. Most of the times, it was more about the religion and its practices and not a relationship with Jesus Christ. By the age of 18, religion could not do it for me any longer and I literally moved from the front seat to the back seat of the church. At age 20, after living a year abroad, I was convinced by friends to contest the Miss Dominica Pageant. They felt it was a sure and easy way to get a car to ‘lime’. We were certain that achieving this was possible for me because I was no stranger to the stage. And so, in February of 2001 I contested the Miss Dominica pageant and won. My life, already on a down-hill turn continued spiraling downwards even further. I found myself liking to party and drink. I threw out my desire to be pure until marriage and took my freedom to new heights.
The Façade
I was well known and had lots of so- called friends but inside I was a very lonely person. One of the worst things for me was my facade. I created an image of myself so that I did not have to expose the real me. The person inside that was lost, lonely and totally confused. Sometimes I would be in the dancehall and I knew in my heart that it was not the place for me. I just could not be satisfied with all the fun that I was having. My life was aimless and I would be crying out on the inside for more than just that.
God’s Plan unfolds
God had a plan for my life! He was working behind the scenes to rescue me. I faced a time in my life when things became extremely difficult because I had important choices to make and I made the wrong ones. My back was against the wall and the only person I could have possibly turned to was God. So finally, in December of 2001, even before the end of my reign as Miss Dominica, I surrendered my life to Christ at a Christmas party. Life has never been the same. In 2003, I became acquainted with Lifeline Christian Fellowship and decided to make it my church home. I can testify that God has been faithful to me. It has been a process for me to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. However, I have made much progress under this wonderful ministry and today I have the awesome opportunity of being fully involved in the life of my church. I am persuaded that when God has a plan for your life (and He does have a plan for everyone of us) He will stop at nothing to see it come through. Still, the most important part is acceptance of His grace. My encouragement, therefore, is that you would accept the work of God's grace in your life and see Him work wonders to help you become the person that you were created to be. Trust God and watch your dreams unfold before your very eyes. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed because I know that God never ever fails. |
