My Testimony
Reverend Jean
I am Reverend Jean, founder of Rose of Sharon Ministry International. My residence as a U.S. citizen, is in the state of Wisconsin, the city of Green Bay. The heart cry of this ministry is to comfort and care for the orphans and the widows of India and Pakistan.
I was born in Green Bay, brought up in a loving family of six. Being the middle child of my other sisters one older, and the other younger, I always thought they took favor with my mom. But God had His design plan already in place for my life.
My younger brother Michael, shortly after his first year of life , was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. My father and mother, had to tend to his needs as he had worsen . As time went on, my brother Michael, was placed in a special home to be cared for.
When Michael had to leave home, I then was never the same, as I did not want to be separated from my brother. From that time on, there was always a questioning to God, why my brother had to be separated from us. God was already putting in my heart, a love for orphan children, and how they needed love. God truly had, and was, continually watching over my life, the call He would desire me to have.
Growing up, God had blessed me with my loving family, but I always felt empty inside. I took alcohol to fill my emptiness in my life, only to find the world getting darker. Soon, family and friends, tired of me, and started seeing me as a nobody. Reaching to the very end of life with no answers, one day I came across a television show, and this gentleman was talking about how God sent His Son Jesus, for new life to give. Jesus could take any bad situation in one's life, and they could be set free, and have the promise of eternal life in Heaven. So, with losing already everything in my life, I surrendered , and gave my life over to Jesus Christ.
Now 24 years later, I am serving God, with a
"New Song"
He put a new song in my mouth,
A hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 40:3
I will proclaim as a minstrel of the Lord, the prophetic song for all those who will hear, the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ.
May those places be attained by God for the gospel to be heard. May the name of the Lord be glorified in all of 'beloved India', and all of 'beloved Pakistan'.
The Musician's Prayer
You've given me the words, Lord… a song of life that is new and unrehearsed; You have given me the joy that makes my heart sing, even though at times tears come first… You've taken all my yesterdays of discord, a clash of cymbals, meaningless and vain, transposing all the noise into a love song that floods my very soul with its refrain…. You've taken all the gifts I once thought mine, Lord, and changed the composition of their worth, reclaiming what was Yours from the beginning, returning them, transfigured by rebirth…
You've given me the theme for my existence, and I will sing Your glory all my days… For now Lord, …. And make my life a Symphony of praise
