Sara Pipkin's Testimony

I was born in 1974 in Delaware to a family already full of boys so you can imagine being the fourth child AND only girl, I was NEVER spoiled.  At the age of 3 my father decided there was more to life than working the day in day out job and submitted to the call by God to serve His body. My parents sold their home, packed their bags and we moved to Lubbock Texas where my father and mother attended seminary and readied themselves for the mission field.

Between the ages of 3 and 19 I moved to 5 different cities across the world and 9 different homes within those cities. What I learned from this? How to be the ultimate packer!

Unfortunately, even with God loving parents, I missed the message somewhere along the way and believed God Himself to be cold and distant. Church was a ritual and a relationship with Him was non existent. I don’t like to say my journey was one pit after another; I tend to like the term ‘cave’ more. I would have momentary glimpses of light and then I would turn a corner and end up in utter darkness again.

After years of singing on the worship team, being in Women’s Ministry and even leading Women’s Ministry, God found me, pulled me out of the cave and as we like to put it ‘took me behind the shed with the 2x4’. It was time to stop ‘doing’ and get real about ‘being’.

He has broken me, molded me and continues to chisel away at me.

During the course of my journey I also met and married my fantastic husband of 8 years Jason and we’ve had 3 precious babies, Hallie Miranda who is 5, Isaac Matthew, who has another purpose in God’s kingdom with Him, and Asher Riley who is 6 months old. I serve on Passionate Heart Ministry’s board and would scrub the toilets of that ministry just to be a part of it. I have a mortgage business and truly love what I do. I love my family, my friends, my job and most of all I am so humbled that our God, the CREATOR of the Universe, would ask me to even do the smallest thing to advance His kingdom. He blows me away and I am utterly and completely His.
