Testimonies: Reidlands

Cross of Grace is a church full of diverse people from different backgrounds who all have one thing in common: Jesus! We want to highlight this by sharing stories and testimonies from the people at CoG. First up: Mike and Donna Reidland

"There was a time in my life when I knew that I was going to hell; two divorces, drunkenness, I knew I had missed my chance to be good enough to go to heaven. But because of God‘s mercy and grace, my sins have been forgiven, Donna and I have been married for more than 41 years, and I know that one day I will go to heaven to be with Him." - Mike Reidland

"There was a time in my life when I thought that being a reasonably good person was all I needed to do to go to heaven, but God had to let me see that it was impossible to be good enough and that I wasn’t actually good by anyone’s standard. Then in His mercy, He saved me, and life has never been the same. Now, in spite of the tests and trials that God allows into my life for my good and His glory, I have peace and joy, knowing that one day I will spend eternity with Him." - Donna Reidland

The Reidlands have attended Cross of Grace since last September and shared their testimonies at this year's Easter service. They have lived in El Paso for about 50 years and came to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in 1983, right before they married. Over the years, they have served the Lord throughout the city and now call Cross of Grace their home church!
