TESTIMONIES
Making a Difference in French Speaking Countries and Around the
World
"The teachings I’ve received from Pastor Engler
through SMTI, have literally changed my life! One of the things
that consistently surprised me, is that what was treated in the
classroom, was often an introduction, a continuation or a
confirmation of what God had put in my pastor’s heart for the
Sunday before or after school! I’ve been corrected, comforted
and certainly transformed by the anointed word of God, because
the Holy-Spirit repeatedly confirmed it, with signs
following!"

"Though I’ve been a Christian for many years,
there’s so much I’ve learned since I’ve been involved
with the ministry of Jean-Paul & Josette Engler.
First as a student in one of their Training school for
ministry and most recently, as the school director for
the Paris region. Both in the way they conduct their
ministry and in their personal lives, they truly practice
what they preach. Their testimony is an inspiration to
all of us who’ve had the privilege of working with
them."

"I will never forget the first time I met Pastor
Engler, while he visited my country for the first time in
1990. My life was deeply affected when I witnessed the
miracle healings that followed the preaching of the Word.
The message was simple, but very deep and
life-empowering. I was then that I decided to go into the
ministry full-time. But when I received the invitation to
attend the Leadership Conference Pastor Engler was to
speak at in Bangui in 2006, I was so discouraged, that I
almost didn’t go. In fact, I had already decided to quit
the ministry if God didn’t intervene in my situation.
Praise God that I finally obeyed the Holy-Spirit and went
anyway. Not only did God give me words of encouragement
during the conference, but He gave me clear directions
for my life and ministry. Today my ministry is more
successful than ever, I’m moving forward and overcoming
in the name of Jesus and I’m not looking
back!"

"Something happened in me
and it was very strong. I had been told that the classes had a
special anointing on them. As I was listening to the teaching
of the word, it was as if the Lord was talking directly to me.
I received it as such, directly from the Lord. Although a whole
group of us was
taking the class, it was truly a personal experience for
me."
L.T. Paris, France
"For me,
its an honor to
have been asked to testify about what these classes have done
in my life. As the school coordinator, I benefited from the classes
on three different levels:
First, I
want to testify that Trans Formation is not just the name of
the school, but I personally experienced a transformation in
my own life. I also witnessed that same transformation in
the lives of my classmates. Things that we had a hard time
letting go of, we were able to deal with them and let them
go, for the glory of God!
Secondly,
we were able to see many barriers come down. Walls were torn
down in our hearts and we were able to experience a whole
new freedom in our spiritual as well as our church lives. We
bless the Lord for what has been done in us through these
classes.
Finally, when you take these
classes, you sense that you are truly receiving something
good from the Lord. Personally, I have begun to take many
more initiatives in my service to the Lord."

"I first
thought that the classes would be more theological, but I
discovered that it they were much more spiritual. Through
these classes, I have experienced real inner healing. I
don’t know how to explain this other than that I had
bitterness and resentment in my heart but the class on the
fruit of the spirit, caused me to let go. I know that I have reached
a much greater level of understanding and maturity. By
letting go of my hurts, I experience a genuine inner
healing."
O.T. Paris, France
"The classes I
appreciated the most were the ones titled “what to do”. They
presented
real solutions and offered steps to take when dealing
with specific problems. Up till now, the only thing I had
ever been told was to pray, but with these classes,
practical solutions were given to common issues. I thank
Pastor Engler for affording us the privilege of following
these classes, and we thank the Lord for His anointing on
them."
C.L. Paris, France
"Its amazing to see
everything that has happened in my life since I started
these classes. Since I’m not an intellectual, I was
afraid that everything was going to fly over my head, but
as soon as they started, I realized that every subject
was being taught from a practical perspective. Its
impossible to take these classes without being inspired
to change. There were times where the classes touched me
to a point where all I could do is weep. It had been such
a long time since I experienced something like that. My
soul has been deeply moved by the anointed word of God. I
can say that
this experience has changed my life entirely! My family,
my church life and my relationship with the Lord have all
been affected in a positive way!
There was a particular
area were the Lord was asking me to take a step of obedience
in service. But things from my past as far back as
childhood, were keeping me from going further in my walk
with the Lord. I met with my pastor concerning these issues.
The instructions my leader gave me on Friday, were exactly
the same as the ones I received in class on
Saturday!"
G.P. Rouen, France
"Like most Christians, I know my Bible. But I came to realize
that knowing something does not necessarely mean that we’re
applying it to our own lives. We come to church and we are
undisciplined without even realizing it. We evangelize and say
things that are not accurate. We may be sincere,
but could be
sincerely wrong. In my heart, I received an assurance
and a certanty on many principles of the Bible. For
example, when I share about the baptism
of the Holy Sprit, the Church, or water baptism, I now
know what I am talking aout. I now have confidence and
assurance in these and other areas.
As my
pastor said earlier, God’s people perish for lack of
understanding. We come to church and we receive a lot of
information but we can still perish because we lack
understanding of what’s been taught. Understanding the word,
meditating it, understand what God is saying through it has
been taught to me during this school year."
L.M.
Yvetot, France
"I certainly have learned a lot during this school year. A had
many questions about a lot of things in my life and I needed to
make some changes. I really believe that we need to see things
differently and make major adjustments. Oddly, the teaching
that affected me most, was the one on tithing.
I learned so
much from this, because I had a real struggle in this
area. By putting that teaching into practice, I
personally experienced what the Word of God promises: the
more you give and are faithful, the more you
receive!"
