Miami and Jews for Jesus

OCTOBER 1973

Yeah! I was able to get off the Pawpaw - the ship I hated so much and move to work in an office building in Miami, FL. I rented a room downtown where I shared a bathroom and a kitchen with 4 other middle age people who were not doing so well in life. One month later I moved into an apartment in Ft. Lauderdale with another Christian I met at mega Baptist church in Ft. Lauderdale. I went to that church for the next 2 months.

During those 3 months I lived in Miami, I visited a place I think was Jews for Jesus a couple of times.

The first time I went, the message was abouth worry. The speaker said it was a sin and needed to be treated like sin. One needs to confess worry as a lack of trusting God, and by confessing find forgiveness and deliverence.

At the time I worried so much about small things that I got stomach aches, so when I heard that message I confessed my lack of trust and put my worries in God's hands. I didn't notice any changes until I visited the same place a few months later and remembered my first visit. I realized that even though I didn't know when it happened, my worries had faded away along with my stomach cramps that had disappeared.

I don't remember anything else about Jews for Jesus.
