Written by Hey guys, this is a testimony that friend of mine, Juley Moskalets has posted on her facebook. She gave me permission to post it here as well. This is a very powerful testimony about drug addiction. If you or your friends are suffering from drug addiction, read on. If not, this is a great encouraging word.
“My name is Juley Moskalets. I’ve been an addict for two and a half years. My life has never changed so dramatically as it did in these years.Sometimes I would see how much I physically degraded in the mirror. I never thought this would happen to me. I never believed that I would one day have to admit to my loved ones that I Juley Moskalets am an addict. But it has happened; I soon faced reality and found myself in a dead end not knowing how to get out. I was scared to ask for help, I didn’t know how to. I just realized that I couldn’t keep living like this anymore. I saw what my life style was doing to my family; 
I saw the pain in my mother’s eyes. I knew how much this was hurting her, and every time I walked out on her, her eyes were filled with tears begging me to stay home. I felt the most painful guilt you could ever imagine as if I had just watched her die. But then as soon as I would get my dose and do my drugs it seemed as if nothing ever happened. I felt wonderful, satisfied, and complete, drugs were all I needed, and they were all I wanted. I was careless to what my dad would say or anyone else. Drugs made my feelings numb and numb to all the people, and the things that have ever mattered in my life. I couldn’t believe that this has happened to me. I hated myself more than anything in the world and only because I knew the truth, I can’t get out… I couldn’t stop doing these drugs, they became my life. I stepped over all the boundaries you could think of,I’ve used every lie you could find, I hurt every person in my family, and worst of all I soberly knowingly turned my back to God. Every day I lived I knew that if Jesus would come that minute, I was going to hell. I cant even count how many times I would come home, get on my knees and beg God to forgive me, I would say, “Jesus please take my sole right now! I don’t want to go to hell! Please… I can’t stop!! Just let me die so I could go to heaven right now.” it was because I knew that as soon as I would wake up in the morning, I had to do drugs! I felt like satan had every chain possible around my whole body holding me as his slave. Every day was torture, every day my life was at risk. I didn’t know what to do or how to break free. I knew that there was a God, but he seemed so far away. I knew that seeking help from church was always a possibility but I felt so embarrassed and I couldn’t let everyone find out that I have been using drugs. And not only that I have been using but also that I can’t stop on my own. At that point in my life I noticed many of my friends that I was hanging out with started to get concerned for me and have told me that I need to find a way to stop, but I just looked at them smiling and said, “I’m going to be a drug addict for the rest of my life, I love drugs!” READ MORE »

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This is the youth committee update for the month of March. We only had one meeting in February so there wasn’t much to post. This meeting, Denis began with the reading of 
Greetings everyone. 2009 has flown out the window, and 2010 has bestowed upon us. The Youth Committee had its first 2010 meeting on Jan, 12th, 2010. Denis started the meeting with a reading from 
Hello, CALinChrist readers and guests. I am here once again to bring you the information from the youth committee that met on November 24, 2009. We had a lot of information to be discussed, so this post will have quite some material to read.
Hello fellow CALinChrist followers. Here is the moment that you have been waiting for. The time where I post the information that was discussed on our last youth committee meeting (10/20/2009). The meeting began with Denis reading from the Bible to get our Spiritual food and to set our minds and hearts on God. The passage that he read was 
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Yana Chuprov, and I have been a member of Second Slavic Baptist Church since December 2005 (day of my baptism), but I have been going to SSBC ever since it was still with First Slavic Baptist Church. When I received my baptism, I was just another member of the church, but I was not involved in any of the activities it had to offer. I started my involvement with youth when I joined into Joseph Donchenko’s group in 2005. At first, I was just attending, but wasn’t really doing anything. Then, summer of 2006, I had an opportunity to be a leader in the summer youth camp. It was all so new to me. I was a little scared, but I was eager to try it. Once I tried it, I knew that working with youth is my passion. I have been involved with youth ever since.
we love you, but we need some time with ourselves too.) As of right now, we are discovering the book of James. It is awesome because it talks about how to deal with trials and temptation, and many other wonderful topics.
