Tim J. (Germany)
Living in Germany, with only a handful of Apostolic churches in the country, I thank God for Bishop Rader Johnson and Greater Bethel Temple. In these times where Apostolic churches are leaving the doctrine and forsaking truth, God knew the ministry that would lift me after being backslidden for 20 years. I saw a clip of Bishop Johnson on Facebook and reached out to him via email. He kindly responded with his direct contact information and restored me over the phone. From that time on, I have been blessed by his teaching, preaching, and the GBT live streams of services. Bishop Johnson is truly a man after God's heart. To a soul in Germany, Bishop Johnson is just a phone call away. His teaching is in-depth and inspired by the Holy Ghost. If you're hungry for the truth of God's word, look no further than GBT. It's been one year, and I'm growing in knowledge, wisdom, and faith through this powerful ministry of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Bishop Johnson and GBT, a place of Truth, Love, and Holiness.
DESTYNEE D. (Pittsburgh, PA)
A native of Pittsburgh, PA, at eight years old I was baptized in Jesus' name, and at 17, God filled me with the Holy ghost. After I got saved, I asked God to reveal himself to me through his word, and He did just that! In 2018, God led me to Bishop Johnson's powerful Apostolic teachings. I followed his video platform for years until I had the opportunity to meet him and First Lady Rhoda in person. Meeting Bishop Johnson in person was a dream come true because of his ministry's impact on my spiritual growth. The first time I visited GBT, I immediately felt a warm welcome through everyone's hospitality. I've discovered that when I come to God with expectation, I ALWAYS receive what I need from Him - both when I'm physically present or watching online. I want you to know that If you need salvation, deliverance, guidance, counseling, a church family, and much more, GBT is the place to be!
