Marge now begins. “In 1948 a revival swept through
Northern Alberta deeply affecting our Slavic churches and many others as
well. I was eight years old at this time when a visiting evangelist came
to our church.
As the evangelist ministered, he asked for those who wanted to invite Jesus into their hearts. I felt a tug on my heart and wondered, "Would Jesus really come into my heart?" Shyly, I raised my hand and went forward in the altar call. That night, while we were praying, my friends had visions. One had a vision of Jesus! Praise the Lord! That night Jesus came into my heart. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus had come into my life and washed my sins away! Oh, the joy and peace that flooded my heart! The next day at school, I shared the Lord with my classmates. I obtained a Bible. God planted a hunger in my heart to one day attend a Bible School and study His Word. I have shared this testimony around the world before singing the song, 'Had it not been for Jesus, then my soul would be lost.' I have prayed for and led many to the Lord myself. My pastor had confidence in me as a seventeen year old, asking me to become Secretary-treasurer for the church. This experience was to prove invaluable in the years to come. God's Hand was on my life and I felt the need for further study of the Word. When the Dean of British Columbia Bible Institute came to our town, I prayed, "Lord, if it is your will for me to study at this college, let the Dean approach me with an enrolment application." This he did and the following year I enrolled there. While at Bible College, we were required to make a church in the area our home church. The Ukrainian church there became my home church. This experience was also invaluable as my husband and I would minister in the former Soviet Union during communism and after the fall, planting almost a hundred churches ourselves. Praise God! |

While at Bible College I was also praying, asking God
for His direction in my life. I had chosen Matthew 6:33 as my favorite
scripture…"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
If you are earnestly desiring God's perfect will for your life, God will give you the very best. It was during this time that my future husband, Tony Abram, an Associate Evangelist with the T. L. Osborn ministry came to Vancouver to precede his crusade there. I was assistant youth leader at this time. Tony was invited to our church to share his testimony and preach there. He visited many churches in the area, asking for their co-operation in the crusade, staying with friends at the church. |

Two months later we traveled back to Williams Lake
for my parents and Tony to meet. Tony and I had planned to meet in
England and be married there. However, my parents wanted me to be
married at home.
The following week on a Tuesday evening, November 20th, 1962, we were married in a candlelight ceremony. All my family, the church family and many friends were there. However, Tony's family could not be there as they were 3,500 miles away in Pennsylvania. I have been so blessed as I, with my husband, have seen Nation-wide revivals. . |
