One Life for Christ

About Us

Leslie & Jim ReadHi, this is Leslie.  I’ll also write for Jim, since he’s busy doing the grunt work of stuffing envelopes with CDs and lyrics.

First of all, this website isn’t about us, it’s about HIM (Jesus), but I always feel that personal testimony gives God all the glory.  In the past few years, we have been through many challenges that would test anyone’s faith.  Staying true to Jesus and keeping our eyes focused on Him brought us through it and here we are.  I am the most blessed woman in the world to have a loving partner who loves God the way I do.  We’re on this journey together.

Nothing is easy in this world.  We can’t imagine what life would be like if we didn’t have our faith in God, our family and our friends.  We aren’t perfect but we have a friend and Savior who guides us and who loves us.  We have been given the gift of eternal life, just for the asking. The sad news is that there are many who don’t know Jesus and will never know Him, if they aren’t told.

In the Bible, John 15:9, summarizes a commandment from Jesus that holds the true meaning of “passing it forward.”

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.  Now remain in my love.  If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.  I have told you this so that my job may be in you and that your joy may be complete.  My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business.  Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.  You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit- fruit that will last.  Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.  This is my command:  LOVE EACH OTHER.

Prayer:  We hope that we honor You, Lord, with this mission.  May You be glorified through the efforts of those who take Your message of love & salvation and pass it forward to others.  Thank You for Your mercy, Your grace and mostly, for laying down your life for us… we love you, Jesus!

Amen.
