TESTIMONY

Chase Parrish grew up in a Christian family. At age seven, Chase repeated his mother as he confessed he was a sinner, accepted Christ as Savior, recognized him as Lord, and later acknowledged his salvation before his church family. God spoke to him soon after when a missionary from Africa spoke at his Sunday school class and Chase decided he was going to be an evangelist.

What Chase had experienced a year earlier and for many years to come drew him very close to God. Three of his five family members, excluding his dad and brother, contracted Lyme’s Disease. They had severe pain for eight years. His mother had heart attacks. His sister constantly lost the use of her legs. Chase himself had five strokes, the second of which put him in a two-day coma. During the coma, Chase’s mother prayed that if God would raise him up, she would give him completely to God. Suddenly, he woke up and couldn't remember anything he had ever known. He had to relearn everything.

At nine years of age, Chase’s mother discovered they had Lyme’s Disease and they were treated for three years and then cured in 1999.

One year after they had been cured, Chase’s mother got cancer. She became very sick and Chase comforted her every night by reading the Psalms over her bed. She went through three radiations and two chemos and in March 2006, God took his mother home.

Through it all, Chase learned that everyday was a gift from God to be used for His glory alone. Chase recognized his gift of evangelism at the age of six. His first church sermon was at age thirteen. Now, at churches, schools, nursing homes, sports leagues, and the streets, he preaches the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. LET IT BE KNOWN…
