Precious Testimonies is a non-denominational evangelistic ministry whose primary purpose is to help people connect with God - the God of the Holy Bible. The God who delights in reaching down and forgiving and rescuing the "least of the least." 

God has directed us to do this mostly through the publishing of written salvation testimonies, but also video. For many years we used Cable TV Public Access to make weekly 2-hr and ½ hr Video/DVD testimonial broadcasts in various cities and communities across America. We prayed with many people through those broadcasts to receive salvation as well as prayed with and ministered to many believers struggling in their walk with the Lord. Starting around 2010, Cable TV Public Access stations began to phase out mostly due to lack of funding, and YouTube replaced them.    

We presently use four different YouTube channels to publish mostly salvation – born again testimonies. On our primary YouTube channel, we publish a new testimony every week. On two other YouTube channels, we use foreign language titles to help people more easily find testimonies in their own respective languages. On a fourth YouTube channel, we are releasing new testimonies every couple of days. 

Though testimonies are our main “attention getters,” we feel God wants us ALSO to share the Gospel message of the cross on EVERY testimony we release. We believe the Gospel Message is the PRIMARY reason for these YouTube channels and the testimonies a secondary reason…offering HOPE, ENCOURAGEMENT, and SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS through them to the hearer and/or reader. 

We have another YouTube channel that publishes strictly messages that we feel God wants to give greater attention to, to help give them additional exposure. From time to time, Norm gives messages of his own that he feels God wants him to share. 

Then we have two other YouTube channels that are used exclusively to show a short graphic visual of Jesus dying on the cross and WHY he did it for humanity. We offer this video visual in every major language of the world as well as minor languages with the purpose of helping take the Good News of The Gospel of Jesus Christ to ultimately all four corners of the earth. 

Lastly, we have another YouTube channel where we are helping give greater exposure to REAL LIFE STORIES TESTIMONY BOOKS. These anointed testimony books are being made available free of charge to people all over the USA as well as some countries around the world. They are being distributed to the public in the “highways and byways” of cities all over the country. Norm and Kathleen have helped personally place thousands of copies of these testimony books for more than 15 years as of this writing.    

Starting back in the late 1980s, God used Pastor Calvin Bergsma to build the ministry its first website (www.precious-testimonies.com) as well as to teach Norm and Kathleen how to maintain the site and add new content on a frequent basis. We’ll be eternally thankful for his tireless efforts in that endeavor, of which the website is currently ongoing.  

Though God is not asking us to publish written testimonies as frequently as we used to (due to the popularity of YouTube), for years The 700 Club asked us to forward testimonies to them we thought might be useful to their ministry. They used many of them to give video coverage to testifiers, all to the glory of God. 

Many evangelistic ministries using either written or video content or both have asked us permission to republish testimonies we’ve published to give them extra exposure.   

Many people over time have told us that they printed many written testimonies from the ministry website and sent them into prisons – again all to the glory of God. Others have used them like Christian tracts to place them in public places where they can be found or sent to individuals they have been impressed to share with, or at least forwarded links to them. We have felt from the inception of this outreach going back all the way to the late 1980s that God has not wanted us to take a salary but remain a “tent-making ministry” which continues to the present.

Thank you, and may God richly bless you, as you seek to walk closer with Him!
