JesusAlive History        This ministry began on April 30, 1999 as a yack room tabbed JesusAlive, with this website stuff created just over 3 years later. This journey unquestionably began 4 years without I was born then on Oct. 27, 1994 at a Billy Graham Crusade (see: Steve's Testimony). In Sept 1998, I awoke on a Saturday morning. While I laid there, I was praying and felt God leading me to get a computer and get on the internet. I really had no desire to have a computer, as I kind of unvalued them (hard to imagine not having one now), but I compromised and got something tabbed a webtv to get on the internet that same day. (Several years later, I finally got the computer.)     Withouta short time, God led me into yack rooms. As I watched what was said, and talked to the people in these rooms, I began to see for the first time how many people, Christians and non-Christians, had questions well-nigh the Bible, and needed answers. Some were hurting, and in pain. They knew God and the Bible held the answers they sought, but didn't know what they were. This started the whence of a passion in me. I wanted to be a person who could supply those answers. As I saw questions I could not wordplay or things I needed to know, and I went to the Bible for answers. I poured over the Bible, studying, searching, using concordances and commentaries. I could not get enough. I would spend nearly every self-ruling moment studying. I had a passion I never expected would happen to ME over things of the Lord.      On Oct 10, 1998, while witnessing to a person in yack from my hometown, God gave me the opportunity to help lead my first person to the Lord. (I was so excited I didn't sleep for two days afterwards.)Without6 increasingly months of growing, learning, and evangelizing with the help of an ordained minister, I, and several others, felt led, without much prayer, to unshut a room of our own. We tabbed this room: JesusAlive.      For a while, God used this room miraculously, with dozens of people praying to receive Christ. We were answering questions, seeing lives transformed, praying for people's needs, and more. But, we were moreover pretty immature in the Lord, and soon after, life interchange problems came for all of us, likely considering of all of the good that we were doing. Soon after, the room fell apart.      During this time of trial, I began to wilt increasingly involved in church. (Because of my immaturity and bad denomination past, I really hadn't been involved before.) God used this time to slowly heal me. He moreover began to requite me increasingly and increasingly "real life" (not chat) opportunities to share the things I had learned. I joined small groups, taught a Bible study at my house, and God plane gave me the opportunity to work in a local ministry.      Through that major trial, and the trials I have faced since, I have come to know God in a whole new way. He has carried me through the worst times of my life. When I squint when at the road He has brought me down, I can only sit in awe. The answered prayer, the times He has spoken unmistakably to repletion me, the signs He has given me in my low points; He is indeed a loving Father.... Prayerfully, I am worldly-wise to use some of what I have learned during these times to help you.      In August 2002, without much prayer, I felt led by God to start this website, and put the studies I had written on it. Since that time, I have widow many increasingly studies, and protract subtracting as many as I can with God's help. God has truly happy this site over the years, and I pray that He gets all of the honor and glory as I try to provide solid Bible answers to those He leads here.      I thank all of you who have prayed for me, helped me, and encouraged me withal the way. Without you using your God-given gifts to help me over the years, I do not believe this ministry could plane exist. I thank you ALL!      - Your brother in Christ, Steve P.S.
