The phone rang and I didn’t need to answer it to know who was calling. It was the couple I had met a few weeks before who had invited me to their Bible fellowship. They were with The Way Ministry. I told them I was interested, so they had faithfully called me before each fellowship to see if I wanted to attend. Each time, I had a reason why I couldn’t be at fellowship that night. But the real reason I hadn’t attended yet was because I was afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn’t find what I was searching for, the truth. On my college campus, I had been exposed to so many groups that claimed to teach the truth, and I didn’t know which one to believe. So I made the decision to avoid all of them. But for some reason, I had told this couple that I would come to one of their fellowships.
Before the phone rang that night, I decided to pray, and I poured my heart out to God. I told Him I was going to try out this Way Ministry fellowship, and I asked Him to help me see very clearly if this was where I would find the truth. I attended fellowship that night. It was the first time I heard someone teach verse after verse right from the Bible. The teaching was simple, logical, and powerful. It answered specific questions I had that I had never shared with anyone. Only God could have known I had those questions, and they were answered in the very first fellowship I attended! I knew in my heart that God was confirming for me that I had found the way to the truth of His Word.
Through the Word of God I have learned in The Way Ministry, I found the truth I was searching for. I have learned that God’s Word has integrity, it can be trusted, it is powerful, and it brings solutions backed by God’s power when it is applied. I no longer struggle with doubt and confusion about where to find the truth. These have been replaced with trust and confidence in God and in His wonderful Word. This is because in The Way Ministry, I was taught how to read and study the Bible in order to understand and apply it. The Word of God I have learned in this ministry has given me certainty that God’s Word rightly divided is truth.
The night I attended my first Way Ministry fellowship, all I asked of God was that He make it clear that I was in the right place to find the truth. God has given me so much more than I ever asked for! I enjoy sweet fellowship with Him daily, a life full of blessings beyond measure, and the unspeakable joy of continuing to grow in my knowledge and understanding of the truth—all because of the Word of God I continue to learn and live in this wonderful ministry.
