There can be a heaviness in ministry as the needs are many and sometimes it is hard to see the sufficiency of God, but He faithful to be our Burden-bearer and He also may bless us with a team of people who greatly lighten the load of a fallen world. Amanda Zajac is one who regularly lightens my day. I know this as I smile just seeing her and we know how to laugh together. She leads in many areas of the church as do her husband and children. She loves her church and I hope you will enjoy hearing her testimony of how the church uplifted her.
Amanda Zajac’s Testimony:
My testimony begins in my early 20’s. I was living in Tampa, close to my family, and enjoying a wonderful corporate career. Then, unexpected tragedy struck: my grandmother passed away, followed just three months later by my grandfather. As a family-oriented young woman, this double loss left me heartbroken and confused. It sparked a search for answers about life, death, and what happens when you die.
At the time, I worked in a small office with a man I knew attended church. Because we were friends, I asked him spiritual questions about God. He shared the gospel with me—explaining who Jesus is, how He died for my sins, and how He rose again, defeating death.
Desiring to keep searching and seeking God, I started attending a church to understand what the Gospel is all about. After a few months of searching, I prayed to accept the Jesus, the free gift of salvation. It was the best decision I have ever made, completely changing the trajectory of my life.
God is so good, and I am incredibly thankful for how He uniquely pursues us. I thank God that the young man from my office who first told me about Jesus is now my husband of almost 23 years.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!
