BIO:
Testimony of
Paul R Kovatch -- real 'born-again' Rocket Scientist
At 29 years of age I was a millionaire. I owned 30 apartment
units, 2 restaurants, a large, 10-room home with pool, 3 cars, a
motor home, land in 3 states and 2 countries, gold and silver
coins, mutual funds and the list goes on and on.
I considered myself pretty "religious" and "self-righteous". I
was raised in a large church and went to church every week. I
believed I was doing what God wanted me to do. If I fell, all I
had to do was ask God to forgive me and I could do it all over
and over again. I found that all of my decisions, no matter how
small or large, were always; how much money will I make? or How
much will it cost?
I worked 3 jobs and was completing my Masters degree in
business. Needless to say, my family suffered. I was never home;
my life was so full of stress that I searched for companionship
outside of the marriage.
While I thought I was blessed by God; it now looks like it was a
temptation from the Devil. All that I really valued (wife,
children, health and happiness) was lost. My Soul was dead. My
compassion was only for what people might think not what God
would think. I was up to 4 six-packs a day while enticing
waitresses with money.
When I went through a divorce; which prompted a bankruptcy, I
was considering suicide because I had lost all of my material
wealth. People who were my friends when I had money didn't come
around; but many were quick to laugh at my failures.
A stranger came to my house one evening while I was drinking,
smoking and watching TV. He was from a local church and wanted
to talk about God and the Bible. I had never read the Bible
before, at least not for it's teachings on life now and the
eternal. I offered him a beer (which wasn't too smart) and he
started to share the Word of God with me.
I never felt so much peace in my life as I did when I believed
that Jesus loved me so much that He died for me. My sins put Him
on the cross and He loved me so much that He had to show me His
love.
I finally realized that I was a better person without all those
worldly things. I came into this world with nothing and I will
leave with nothing. I can truly say that I am "Born Again" and
Jesus is LORD of my life.
I work for an employer who is bigger than AlliedSignal, NASA,
JPL and the U.S. Government put together. My mission is to
collect souls for Christ and the real purpose in life is to
glorify God in everything.
