STEVE WILES. posted 5/22/21
My name is Steve Wiles from NC. I’m looking for God’s will in what church He’d have me serve in either as pastor or assistant pastor. I’m attaching my testimony and my statement of faith.
In Christ, Brother Steve Wiles. 336-908- 2551 Ephesians 6:13
My Salvation Testimony
I was saved in July of 1985 at Pleasant View Baptist Church during their yearly Vacation Bible School. Although it was much later in life that I fully understood the depth of the love Christ showed and realized my complete dependence upon His finished work on Calvary, I still look to that as the moment of my salvation. The reason for this is that I can clearly remember a thirst for the things of God after that experience. I believe that even though my faith was simplistic in nature and mindset, God honored the belief of a child and I now see His Holy Spirit’s direction and guidance in my life beginning at that early age. At the age of ten, my parents moved and I began attending Gospel Light Christian School as well as the church. Brother Steve Roberson was my youth pastor and Dr. “Brother Bobby” Roberson was my pastor.
I did stray from the path of Christ in my early adult life and found only regret and disappointment in the things this world had to offer. This horribly dark time lasted for just under three years at which point I called the church and made an appointment to counsel with Brother Bobby. I began attending regularly and gladly worked in many of the ministries including the bus ministry, Sunday school programs, the Reformer’s Unanimous program later on and worked with the youth group. I even taught at the school there for a time.
In 2009, after much prayer and initial refusal, I surrendered to the call of God to preach. I cannot express my gratitude to the late Bobby Roberson for taking me in and being a mentor and friend to me during that time.
I’ve had the opportunity over the past three years to work with various churches in developing or rebuilding their soul winning, bus and Sunday school programs. It is a true blessing to be able to help in the furtherance of the cause of Christ!
Having had the in depth experiences I’ve been blessed with throughout my ministry, I know God can use us in a mighty way if we will only seek His direction and guidance with all diligence and walk according to His guidance. To utilize one of my favorite sayings, “If God can put give words to and use Balaam’s donkey, He can use me too!”

PERSONAL TESTIMONIES Jared Zapata: Growing up in a Christian home and a Fundamental Independent Baptist Church (Pastor Larry May-Prairie Creek Bible Baptist Church/Parkside Baptist Church), I was able to see first – hand, the working of God in the hearts of many people in the church. I saw many people accepting Christ in their hearts and had heard much of Heaven and Hell and the need for salvation. At the age of five, I remember the fear of going to Hell and talking to my father about the thoughts that were going through my mind. After many years, however, my heart began to wonder if I truly understood what placing my faith in Christ was all about. I decided to make the decision final on a Sunday night at age eleven never again to allow doubt to enter into my mind again. Christ entered into my heart and through my faith in Him, I am able to know one hundred percent sure that I have a home in Heaven when I die.
Elyssa Zapata: Born and raised in a Preacher’s Home (Pastor Danny Ortiz-Iglesia Bautista Fundamental, Lewisville, TX), I was given the opportunity to receive Christ as my personal Saviour at a young age. It was October of 1992 after an evening service that my dad took me to the kitchen table and talked to me. Although I was only four, I still remember the pictures he drew to show me the difference between Heaven and Hell. After some time, I bowed my head and asked Jesus into my heart. Nothing can give more peace than knowing 100% for sure that when I die, I will go to Heaven. Though my dad and I have had many opportunities to spend time with each other since that time long ago, I will always remember that moment in my life that my father introduced me to a new life in Heaven.
