From The Heart Of Our Partners
I have been apart of Abundant Life since I was a small boy. Being apart of abundant life has impacted my life in ways that can’t be explained. Being apart of this ministry has grown me in every area of my life. For me the things I’ve grown in most through learning from my pastor is my prayer life, trusting in God regardless of the circumstance and in wisdom, applying to my life the Word of God, knowing what to do and what to say in every situation or circumstance. In being apart of Abundant life I’ve grown over the years more and more with being more open about my faith and willing to share what I have learned with others, also I have grown to have a heart for the people and my desire to grow in Christ in my knowledge and understanding of Him and in my relationship with Him grows continuously. Abundant Life is filled with Abundant Life.

I have been at Abundant Life since I was a very young girl. Growing up in Abundant Life, has shown me key principles for what living a Godly life looks like. I have been shown how to walk in faith and be obedient when being lead by Holy Spirit. All these principles that I have been shown has helped push me to grow in my own relationship with Christ, and get to know Him truly for myself. Also, considering that I am a teenager, being at Abundant Life has given me important tips to help me mature in the things of God as I get older.

Relocating to a new state always involves the uncertain task of discovering the church you believe God has led you to. Because of the pandemic shutdown we were forced to perform our search strictly online. God directed us to a teaching by Pastors Andrew and Temesha Lockhart from their home. Our spirits immediately connected with the teaching and the anointing on their lives. We are blessed to now have the opportunity to be co-laborers of Abundant Life Church International and share in the vision and assignment that God has given the Pastors and this ministry. We thank God for ordering our steps and leading us to ALCI, where we continually receive “wisdom for life that will impact our generation for eternity.”
