On May 6, 2012 Harvest Ridge Church celebrated 20 years. At the beginning of the service, I read several comments about how people's lives have been changed attending HRC. I wanted to post these somewhere, because the people who gave these testimonies are the reason we "do church."

- The love acceptance, and couragement has brought healing to our hearts.
- God has brought healing and renewal.
- Since coming to HRC, God has renewed my walk... Jesus has never been so real.
- God redeemed me from an anger issue.
- Brought my wife and I to rededication to our Lord; baptism and a new hope for our future.
- I feel whole and loved again.
- Two of the enemies lies were broken once I started here.
- Harvest Ridge has given me a place to belong. I have family and friends again.
- Saved my marriage 17 years ago... my church family and Life group family have made me a better person.
- I really felt like a wave tossed in the sea; I now belong.
- After visting HR, I was filled with the overflowing of the Holy Spirit which led me to rededicate my life to Christ.
- The truth saved our family. (Long Story, Short Answer)
- Our son was injured playing football and the Dr. said, "He should be in a coma." Instead, he is in full time ministry.
- God's power saved my marriage, my family and used His timing to provide me with a job.
- It was through HRC that I learned to have a personal relationship wiht Jesus.
- I was not condemned. This has been a safe place to heal and be restored.

In the past 20 years, over 1300 people have made a profession to follow Christ at HRC and 331 have been baptized in water. And, HRC has given over $1.2 million to world ministries.

This post reveals why I love HRC. I can't wait to see what God does in the next 20 years.
