South Tenerife Christian Fellowship

I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1941. Having attended Methodist College, I trained as a nurse at the Royal Victoria Hospital and then moved on to Aberdeen to do midwifery. I was married to John in 1965 and we have three children and five grandchildren. |
We bought an apartment in Tenerife and began to spend time holidaying there and
eventually when John retired, to come out for the winter months.
While in Tenerife we started to attend South Tenerife Christian Fellowship.
I realised there, that being just a 'good person' was not enough, that I needed to
know Jesus as my own personal Saviour.
There was nothing I could do to change myself but I began to realise that Jesus could
and that what He had done on the Cross of Calvary was for me. He had come to earth and
died on that Cross for my sin and for my life to change, to shake me out of this
'good person' idea was for me to realise I wasn't 'good' that I was a sinner BUT Jesus
died to take my sin away. I realised that only Jesus could make me truly a
'good person'
After many weeks of soul searching I asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me. To
forgive me for ALL that I had done wrong in words and in deeds. And He did. Titus 3
and verse 5 says, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
His mercy He saved me."
I listened to that all the time at STCF as Pastor Adrian preached on Sundays and then
one day I found it all to be true. I came and Jesus showed His mercy to me and saved
me, which was October 2007.
Now I try to keep my eyes fixed on Him and remember that like Peter when he kept his eyes on Jesus he walked on water but when he got his eyes off Him he started to sink. There's a chorus that says it all about me now;
