I would like to share my calling to God, this is my first year.
I was not a nice man, as a matter of fact i was a very nasty evil man. Driven purely by money. I was the boss of organised crime cells and having had 3 murder trials, thought untouchable been acquitted on all. There is more to this story but feel not important, what is important is a breif glimse of my past to see the kind of man i was.

One night i felt something inside me say I'm taking you from him, i need you. Not understanding what was happening, I said to my wife. I'm going to wake up tomorrow different, she said what do you mean. I replied I'm going to be nice, we both laughed, and I said no really.

The next morning I woke and wow was I different, not even my own children recognised me on the phone. My wife could not believe how much I had changed. And that was an understatement, again more to this story.
I turned from crime and turned to God, in a matter of hour's my life did a complete u turn. No longer did i care about success, money and lifestyle. I decided to sell the boat we lived on and buy an old motorhome. One Sunday we went to look at one. On the way home we passed through a small village we had never been to. I said i want to stop at this church, she asked why, I said I just want to stop. We went in the church, the service had finished, i said I'm going to the front to pray, i was on my own. She smiled and went to the back. Within a few minutes the priest was stood in front of me. He said hello and introduced himself, and saying he'd never seen me there before. I told him what had happened to me, and he said unbelievable. He called someone from the back, he said tell Sonny what my sermon was about this morning. He looked at me and said yes of course, it was about the calling.

I bought the motorhome, my plan to go up to the lake district get baptised do it up and travel the country going into prisons and schools. Telling them my story and follow God, stop with crime or wanting to become Gangsters.

So on the way from Kent, we got to Swindon and i fell very ill. I'm diabetic, type 1, I didn't know what hit me. Bed bound and never eat nor took any medication or insulin for 10 days. On the 10th day having woken I got out of bed well nothing wrong with me, not in the slightest. The wife looked at me I said I know, then told her of the dream I had in the night. I was laid on a concrete floor, to the left my to daughters and too the right a doorway with some strangers in front. Then Jesus walked in, looked over at me then walked to me. He knelt beside me and put is right hand on my chest, not a word spoken. I felt a heat leave my body, and then i woke, feeling the best I've felt in a long time. Again much more to this story, but trying to keep it short.

We carried on to the lake district where me and the wife have now been baptised. 4 months in and now the motorhome is finished and ready for its MOT.

My path is infront of me and i plan to make a difference, before my savour Jesus Christs return.
There is much more to this testimonial but hope it kind a tells you about our first year on our path.
