Stories About John Robert Stevens

John in Brazil
By Milca Oliveira Queres

In 1981 I was nine and I heard John bringing the Word in Anaheim Church. He told the history of when he was little and the offering word touched his heart, but he had nothing to give. So he grabbed the offering basket and stepped into it. This story was so real to me,  I really felt every single word of what he was saying.

I was in U.S. with my family and after this morning service we went to San Diego. So, as a secret to myself, right after the evening service I grabbed an “offering basket” and I went to John and told him that I wanted to do the same thing. I wanted to give myself to the Lord.

This experience changed my life completely. I cried a lot and I still can clearly remember his hug, his voice and his heart. My life is proof that the Word he spoke is living and it is powerful, and that is how I want to live forever!
