Mitchell Whitworth


Born Again: Friday Night, July 2, 1993
Place: Independent Baptist Church
(On the left side of the Altar)
Age: 29

His Testimony

I felt conviction when I was about nine years old. I knew if I died I would go to hell, but I dodged going to church so I would not feel so bad. Many years later, I started going to church again. The conviction I felt as a child soon returned and I knew I was lost. During a revival in 1993, I went to the altar three times and prayed for salvation each time, but was not satisfied. On Friday night, the Lord saved me, but I was not sure what to do. Sunday morning God let me know and I gave my testimony and joined the church. I was baptized that night. I finally realized God was the only One who could save me and He did. Now my heart is filled with joy and peace and love.

 

Shelia Whitworth

Born Again: Thursday,
July 1, 1993, at
9:15 P.M.
Place: Independent Baptist Church
Age: 26

Her Testimony

I knew I had been lost for a long time (since I was 13 years old). I have always been a stubborn person and would tell myself to wait till the next revival or a Sunday when not many people were at church and then try to be saved. On July 1, 1993, I became so burdened it didn't matter how many people were at church. That Thursday night, I went to the altar and prayed for about an hour. Still unsaved, I attempted to stand, but when I was half way to my feet, the burden was so heavy I fell to my knees again. Then in a twinkle of an eye, I was saved and I felt peace within.

Dustin Whitworth

Born Again: July 1, 1998
Where: Independent
Baptist Church
Age: 10

His Testimony

On a Wednesday night, fourth night of the revival, I was sitting on the second row on the far left. I knew if I did not get saved I was sure enough going to hell. There were three or four people under conviction. I just knew I had to get saved that night. I did not want to take any more chances. That night I was sitting on the pew and the Lord started messing with my heart. That night I got saved. It was the happiest feeling I had ever had.

When I knew that I was not saved I knew that I was going to hell.Then I went to the altar and prayed and my dad went with me and he prayed for me and my mom did too. Then after I prayed I felt a lot better.
