WE ARE EQUIP HIS BODY...
Hi. We are Rob and Christina Leonard. We
have been married since February 21, 2004.
We both feel the call of God on our lives,
and desire nothing more than to be in the
center of God's will doing His work. We have
both been through experiences that make us know
what it is like to be truly forgiven and restored.
Because of our experiences, we desire others to be
truly forgiven and restored also. We desire that
the body of Christ rise up and become the church
that attracts those who do not know God, love
them with the unconditional love of God and
make disciples. We are convinced that the Lord
desires that the church rise up and do the job
that we have been commissioned to do. The Bible
does not just call pastors or church leaders to
be soul winners, it says that there is a part
for everyone! Through our Ministry and Technology
Consultation, our aim is to be used to help equip
your church, and therefore further the Kingdom
of God!
ROB'S STORY
I grew up in Upstate New York. I was raised in a
home that was not Christian. Early in my life, I
was told by some kids raised in Christian homes
how terrible I was and how much God disapproved
of me because I was an “unbeliever.” One of the
church kids went so far as to tell me that God
hated me and that I deserved hell. One summer,
a friend of mine asked me to go to Vacation
Bible School. Although I did not become a
Christian during this time, there were many
seeds planted and from the time that I heard
about the love of God, It haunted me until I
surrendered myself to God. Though I had made
many mistakes and have some MAJOR sins in my
past, I now know that even though I am nowhere
near perfect, I have been forgiven and my sins
are as far as the east is from the west. I have
been forgiven much, and desire that all others
come into relationship with Him and experience
the love and forgiveness that I have found
through Jesus Christ.
CHRISTINA'S STORY
I grew up in several different states. I was raised
in a home that was Christian, with many rules and
regulations. It was a religion, not a relationship
with God. I never measured up, never followed the
rules just because they were "The Rules". I questioned
why these were the rules, which verses backed them up,
did my own research and disputed the rules. I grew up,
left home, got married and found “my own” rules. Talk
about freedom! This is what the Bible means when it talks
about the truth making you free. Also, without freedom,
you can't have the abundant life Jesus came to bring you!
Of course, along the way, I did make many mistakes. I will
never profess to be perfect, even now. But God is into
forgiveness and loving prodigals—such as myself—back into
His arms. The Bible tells us that as long as we confess our
sins, God will forgive us! This is a promise! Because of how
I was raised, I feel such a burden to help others living with
the invisible yardstick always hanging over their heads,
because through God we find freedom!
