If I were to miss my morning fellowship with the Lord, I would be drifting again.

I have been able to share what Christ is doing in my life with a fellow Christian. He may want to take ONE on ONE with GOD.

Steve S.

Before I went through ONE on ONE with GOD, I was struggling with consistency in my devotional life.

I felt that God expected me to make the first move and then He would guide me. I have learned to make my time with Him a determined discipline. I have realized some great truths in the Old Testament, which I did not previously study at all. He has also shown me that He desires to lead me and that, because of my nature, it is essential that I learn to pray first and then wait on Him.

Fifteen weeks ago God found me entering a new phase of life and starting a study I had no idea about.

Today the rudder on the ship of life has turned in significant ways. I have formed new habits, learned new methods, and faced new challenges. I have learned a systematic closeness to God.

Mike M.

Fifteen weeks ago God found me confused and yet excited about starting a personal relationship with Him.

Through these weeks, He has taught me how to share, express, and care for people. I found God more deeply and intimately through prayer (A-C-T-S). He met me at my need. God found me being sometimes selfish, but through ONE on ONE He led me to a higher level in thinking spiritually. Thank You, Lord!

Sonya

I really enjoyed ONE on ONE with GOD, and it has become a part of my daily life.

If I don’t have my quiet time with the Lord, the day just doesn’t go as well. The course is easy to follow and understand.

Cynthia C.

Fifteen weeks ago I was very irregular and inconsistent in my daily devotions.

Now I have reopened and solidified communication with God through study and prayer. He has again become the priority in my life.

Charles O.

After going through ONE on ONE with GOD, I am more obedient, more humble, and more appreciative.

I find it easier to share my faith with strangers and, more importantly, with acquaintances.

Jim R.

I was recovering from being overwhelmed with the responsibilities of the world when I began ONE on ONE with GOD.

After finishing the study, I am encouraged and refreshed. No matter how many times I go through ONE on ONE, there is always a new insight to pick up. The leaders’ guide helps and complements the workbook very well. I believe God is giving me a fresh vision to disciple others. This is something I have always had a desire to do. This time through, I believe the key that has been emphasized to me is to be consistent, one day at a time.

Bill H.

When I started ONE on ONE with GOD, God found me as a father, husband, and a good person overall.

I was a man who struggled with the same things many other men struggle with daily. He found a hunger in me to be energized to do His will as well as seeking direction to move where He wants me to go. But I wanted Him to drop all this blessing on me without my lifting a finger, as if He would just decide out of the blue that I’m ready to do miracles. I was waiting for God to give me the fruits of a Christ-centered life without doing any work.

Now I’m willing to work and willing to be used by Him through His power. I’m willing to be open to His Word. I want to study His Word to get a better glimpse of what He will do with me. God knows I adore Him. I have confessed my sins. I thank Him for my life, His grace, everything. God finds me a man with a determined purpose.

Larry R.

I was not seeking God’s will or love every hour or even every day when I began ONE on ONE with GOD.

I trusted in Him to guide me, and I knew I was to work to guide others to Him, but I was struggling with others outside and inside the church. I was learning to have a quiet time with Him, but I wasn’t reading the Bible for what He would say to me.

Now I think of God and His love more often. I am letting Him take control of my daily lifeŠ—”a little at a time but increasing all the time. I have a need to share Him with others, and I’m working hard on letting Him show me the time and place. I have a desire to study His Word and tell others who don’t know Him. I have a clear sense of what I do not do for Him and a lack of obedience to reach others. I am unsure how to take the step to disciple others, but I’m looking for what He will open up for me!

Rod G.

Fifteen weeks ago God found me guarded and apprehensive yet wanting to learn and understand.

Today He finds me aware that He is alive! He finds me wanting to know Him more, wanting Him to take over every aspect of my life.

Joan D.

God found me in despair fifteen weeks ago because I found out I had cancer again.

Today I find new hope in God’s strength and His healing. ONE on ONE has truly brought me closer to God.

Maria M.

Through ONE on ONE with GOD I’ve experienced for the first time in my life the satisfaction and contentment that a disciplined spiritual life brings.

Fifteen weeks ago my spiritual life was at a standstill, a lull.

But the Lord has really worked in my heart, revealing how much He really does love me. My prayer life has improved, and my love for Him has grown. God has used my circumstances so that I might know Him better. Praise God!

B.B.

Fifteen weeks ago, God saw me as a weak and confused Christian searching to know more about Him, wanting to learn how to improve my prayer time with Him and yearning to know what He considered right and wrong.

I wanted to be able to learn and understand and obey His Word, but I didn’t know quite how to begin or what to expect. I was a willing participant, wanting to share His truth with others, but I needed to learn more about Him before I could serve Him for His glory.

After finishing ONE on ONE with GOD, I am a stronger, more confident Christian whom God has been transforming each day and week. I am learning to go to Him in prayer about everything and to yield to Him daily for His strength and guidance. I am trying to take life one day at a time, utilizing the fruits He has produced for me to bear on His vine. I am learning to thank and praise God daily for the changes He has made in me and to confess my sins freely to Him, knowing it will make our relationship closer. I am reading the Word daily and learning to meditate by pondering, picturing, and praying God’s Word back to Him.

B.M.

ONE on ONE with GOD has helped me to grow closer to Jesus.

Larry E.

I’m currently discipling three menŠ—”one of whom was recently saved after the third session.

This discipleship course is not just teaching people how to live like Christians; it’s also leading people to eternity with our Lord. I wish God would bless me with someone who is unsaved in every group. The Holy Spirit continues to amaze me with His awesome power.

G.H.

For many years I attended church regularly and was involved with many different church groups.

Until ONE on ONE with GOD I had never, in any class, retreat, or meeting, felt that a guideline or map of ways to accomplish what Christ wanted was ever so simply or more concisely laid out and presented. ONE on ONE is a work of love that is being blessed by Christ. I now know what God wants of me.

L.R.

In some cases, ONE on ONE with GOD provided a renewal of growth, but for others in my group it provided the very first steps of laying that foundation for growth.

I find that I can’t get into His Word without it getting into me. I appreciate the structure of the study and the nurturing love that it contains.

B.H.

ONE on ONE with GOD has given me the confidence to call on God any time, anywhere.

It has really led me to trust more in the Lord.
