Tested, and heard
My mom. Amma. My best friend. A job that nearly broke me — and the voice I had waited my whole life to hear.
Read the full testimonyI was tested by the Lord, and I heard His voice! This site is my record of it — the story, the mission, and the faith. God is good. God is real. And I intend to show it.

Read the missionA handwritten essay from fifteen years ago. The mission was always the same.
See the originalThree people who carried my faith. One job that nearly broke it. And the answer I found on the other side.
My mother was the one who truly brought me to Christ. When I was seventeen, she died. I asked myself the question everyone asks: how could God let this happen?
Then her mother — my grandmother — carried that grief until it wore her down, and she lost her fight against breast cancer. Before she went, my grandma Amma made me promise her I would go on a mission trip. It confused me. I agreed anyway. That was the last time I ever spoke to Amma.
After that I worked a horrible job — one that destroyed my health, stole from me, and took advantage of its employees. I stayed because the pay was good and because I knew God had a plan. My only real friend in the world worked there too. We were the most religious people in each other's lives; we read our Bibles together every day. He had a cruel older brother he was always trying to escape. One day my friend couldn't take that job anymore, and he took his own life at the workplace.
My best friend. My mom. Amma. How could God let this happen?
Then that same older brother stood in front of me and mocked his own little brother's death. I knew I shouldn't say anything. I said it anyway — I had to stand up for my friend. The boss didn't like hearing it. After five years there, without ever taking a single vacation, they let me go with no reason given.
Everyone in my best friend's family thought I was crazy. None of them wanted to listen. Even my own family told me to drop it. Nobody had the time of day for me, and for a while I thought I really was nuts. Then it became clear: if they don't have time for me at my lowest, I don't need them. I poured all my faith back into God.
I think they hoped I would lose my faith. Instead, I only had more time to grow closer to God.
So there I was — thrown out after five years, no family, no financial backing. I knew how to trade stocks, so I traded, and I got far too greedy and lost nine thousand dollars faster than I ever had before. And at my complete lowest, when nobody cared — literally nobody — I had the warmest, most comforting thought of my life. It came only because I had tried my absolute hardest for seven full years and had nothing left. God said to me:
“You were never meant to be a trader. You're an engineer. Go build, and they will come.”
So I built. After seven years of trading by hand, I built my own system, tested it for seven weeks, and in its first month it returned over 70% on my account. I'm very happy with that — but mostly because it gave me the free time to focus on what actually matters: helping people.
I'm 24. I think the world needs a good guy again.
Sadly, that job also destroyed my health and my stomach, and I fear this will be the end of me. So I have to be the brightest light I can while this white dwarf still has fuel.
All of this is honest, and none of it is asking for help or pity. I have always put my faith in God. I just want more people to think that way.
Now I will spend the rest of my life — however long it is — spreading the word of God.

Next: The mission →Written September 10, 2026
It has always been my mission to spread the word of God. I only waited until I was a full-grown man to really start the adventure. I have read the Bible every day for years, and I still do.
When I was 19, I asked God to help me get into my own home soon. He answered that prayer when I was 21. When I finally finished the entire Bible, it all clicked — stocks made sense, and so did the world.
I always wanted to get good at stocks because I love a challenge, and if I was going to spread the word, I had to prove it to myself first. Now I have figured out the market. My needs are little to none. Greed is what destroys people — I have watched it, and I have felt it — so I stick to my rules strictly in trading. God has given me free time, and I know exactly what to do with it: work toward my mission.
I am writing this on the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk's death. That lined up by accident, and I feel honored that it did. My grandpa jokes that I want to be the next Charlie Kirk. I don't want to be him — but I learned a lot from him.
All my life I have prepared, studied and trained to one day go into politics — governor, president, or maybe just a huge Jesus nut. Either way I will be spreading the word of God. God has blessed me Greatly.
I am John the 3rd, and I was born to help people.
From the streets to the stage.
I have always felt that Christianity is being spread the wrong way entirely. The older generations have been introducing the younger to God completely wrong for my entire life — and they only seem to get worse at it. It needs a new approach: one that meets people where they are, with light instead of judgment. We need younger and smarter people helping the world, and we have to be honest.
I spent my life working. Now I have free time, and I will soon start going out and spreading the word in the streets as I prepare for larger audiences.
The future of America is in God's hands. God bless America.
Help me get heard
Written by TreyBae (John the 3rd), fifteen years ago.
The Bible tells us to pray or talk to God without ceasing. My family takes that as a direct command from God. We pray many times a day. We pray for friends and family who are sick, hurt or just having a hard day. We pray for Daddy at work that he will find qualified employees and be safe driving to and from the office. We pray for wisdom before we buy anything to make sure it is lining up with God's will for our lives. If anyone gets hurt in our family we pray for healing.
In fact, several years ago we had just gotten to Colorado Springs and I dropped a bright big rock on my foot breaking a toe. My Mom, brother, Ama, Papa and I held hands and all prayed over my toe for healing. Ama and Papa prayed in tongues. Because of the power of prayer which can move mountains, I was healed! I was able to go hiking the very next day and my toe has never bothered me since.
Actually, one of the best things about being a Christian is being able to talk to God and see His answers in my life. We pray when we have lost things and the Holy Spirit will show us where it is. Praying for other people we don't even know but who are obviously sad is also a favorite of mine. We have never had anyone object to us praying for them. I love to talk or pray and God never ceases to listen.
I went to Christian private school for most of my life. That is where much of this came from.
