My Life’s Testi- Happy Thanks Giving mony of God’s Faithfulness & Deliverance
By Joanne Newcomb
My name is Joanne, and I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I was born in the small town of Methuen,MA, being one of six children, the second oldest. My parents were both alcoholics. My life was always in crissis, never knowing what would happen next. The police were called weekly as my father violently abused my mother and each of his children. Mom was sick from mental illness because of Dads hitting her all the time. He was also having affairs with her friends. God helped me get through each day. I feared my father because of the abuse he inflicted on us. I needed to do whatever I could to survive. Thinking he might try to kill me as he did Mom. My fear eventually turned to anger. - Continuation on Page: 2
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus -
