"Potters House Church has truly been an answer to my prayers. For years, I have been searching for a church where I could grow spiritually and be part of a loving community - and I found that at Potters House. God has spoken into my situation in a personal and powerful way. In a time of deep brokenness, Pastor Arthur took the time to counsel me with compassion and biblical wisdom, which made a powerful impact on my faith journey. The teaching is grounded in the Word, the worship is uplifting, and the people are very caring. I'm so grateful to call this place my church".

"Before I got saved, I grew up in a Christian home but never had a relationship with Jesus, I would claim to be a Christian when applying for jobs or when friends asked what religion I am, and I found myself going off from my parents faith and doing the generic prayer and simply following a religion. I then left church at 16, and as a teenager, I was trying to seek validation from the things of the world, my friends, going to parties, drinking and so on, but I found I was never satisfied. During that period, my older brother got saved, and I saw a difference in his life. I saw his purpose and a future through the way he was living, and I wanted that for myself. However, I was in deep bondage with the world, so I tried to do both. At the age of 18, i joined "The Potters house, hounslow" but with still the wrong mindset, doing the generic prayer and leaving the same way I came in, I didn't surrender my heart to the lord, I was still living a sinful life, going to parties on Saturdays and then going to church on Sundays, i was very double minded. I had a desire to serve God, but I couldn't let go of the world until I got convicted, a piercing pain in my heart. Pastor was preaching about hell and the people who meet the requirements to enter, two scriptures touched me that day -
"So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth" Revelation 3:16 and "not everyone who says to me 'lord lord', shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day.
'Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name and one many wonders in your name?' and then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness" Matthew 7:21-23. These scriptures touched me because I met the criteria of being lukewarm, and I thought that just acknowledging Jesus was enough to get me into heaven, only having one foot in and not both feet in, and being rooted. The second scripture scared me because it showed me that even Christians, or should I say people who look like Christians, who thought they were serving the lord, will be cast into hell as they never developed that spiritual relationship with God and never truly surrendered their hearts. From this fear of making hell my home, I gave my life to Jesus, however, God isn't all about fear. He is also a loving God.

Hello there, my name is Dami, I'm also associated with many other names too, they call me Big Boy Damz, Damz, Big Boy. I grew up in a Christian home, which mostly entailed just going to church on a Sunday and not truly knowing who God is, what he can do. Why should I believe in him? Why do I go to church? All these questions I had, but, just concluding that I must serve him and attend a Sunday service, which was just a standard routine that needed to be followed. I was never someone who was depressed, I felt anime taught me a lot about life: love, the importance of never giving up, the power of friendship and unity, and the ability to overcome obstacles through hard work and determination. After reaching my teens, I thought I could do it all myself. I would say I believed God and was living a life which would guarantee me a spot in heaven, just because I didn't smoke, drink, do ballon's etc, but everything else I did, parties, relationships, pride, you name it. Praise God, my growth didn't stop at my teens because I still had a lot of growing up to do. Even now, I'm still learning, but instead of putting myself first, God is my main priority, focus and refuge. Coming to a church where I could actually hear the word and relate to other people, I was astonished, in my local area, too. Wow. Jesus Christ has taught me now, no matter how many times I fall, I can get up, not through my own strength but with him: forgiveness, to love other people, and so much more. I will forever strive to be the man of God that he wants me to be. "Jesus Christ, for the rest of my life"

"My name is Yovka, I was living what seemed to be a normal life, I was 16 and living in my country with my boyfriend of 3 years, life was very hard for us, and the relationship was very toxic. After my boyfriend and i broke up, i became very depressed and turned to alcohol and tried to seek "love" from other people, which at the time i was just doing it to numb the pain of how i was feeling, it then got to a point where it felt like there was no point of my life and being here. I didn't have a great relationship with my parents, but one day i was speaking to my mum and she told me i should give my life to Jesus Christ, and he will forgive me and love me for who i am, this took me a while as i was still living in the same sinful enviroment. But thanks to God, I was finally able to come to the UK and be with my family and, more importantly, give my life to Christ. I have been saved for 3 years, and whilst it has not been an easy journey, it has been the best decision I've ever made. I chose Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Saviour.
