Testimony of Puro De Jesus Juarbe
The lines are fallen unto
me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage: (Psalm 16:6)
By Puro
De Jesus Juarbe.
The Lord has been good to
me. I was born in
But let me tell you how
this name came to pass, as my father told me. It was the day of
My parents divorced and
my home fell apart when I was three years old. That divorce left five (5)
little children with a broken home. I was always striving to sort out why two
Catholic people, considering themselves Christians, could commit such a
horrendous crime. After this, that Christmas baby became very bitter with his
parents, the world, and God. I swore to myself never to become a nominal Christian.
But thank God, He never
paid any mind to me. That Christmas night, God started a work and He was going
to finish it, all by Himself, in His own time. Until I was sixteen years of
age, I was living my own life, too miserable to recall, but God’s eyes were
upon me as His eyes are on the sparrows. When things got at their worst, I
moved to
That Sunday morning I
visited a church for the first time in my life. My, how they
treated me. Every one was very happy to see me. Every one gave me a nice
welcome. They made me feel so good and so loved, that deep in my heart I said,
"This is what I need. This is what I've been looking for."
I went back to the church
that same night and gave my heart to the Lord Jesus. For the first time in my
life I felt that my name Puro De Jesus (Pure of
Jesus) was fitting me perfectly. I felt new. All the hate
that I had for my father and mother left me. All the hate for the world
left me. All the hate for God was turned into such a love, that, even today, I
can feel.
I later registered in the
Bible School of Theology. There I met my lovely wife Gloria. We both graduated
at the top of the class and were recruited to teach in the Bible seminary. Then
the Lord called us to the pastoral work. I was an employment counselor for the
Labor Department in
Yes, The
lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly
heritage.
There are many more
things that God has done that time does not allow us to write them all. Only
one thing I want to tell you: If God did it for me, He
can do it to you. Give your heart to Jesus. Tell Him, "Come into my heart,
Lord Jesus, for there is room for you." To me it is not important whether
I am a Christmas baby or not, any more. The important thing is that Jesus is
real in my life, and with the help of God, "As for me and my house we will
continue to serve Him until He comes," "Come, Lord Jesus."
You, too, can give your
heart to Jesus, right now. Please pray the prayer below.

confess that I'm a sinner. I'm asking you, Lord Jesus, to forgive all my sins.
Come into my heart right now. Write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Fill me
with your Holy Spirit. In Your lovely name I pray. Amen.
