Hello, my name is ERIC Gabillas, I live in France, and my wife and I want to honor the Apostle John Boney by giving him a testimony.
Since my conversion, I asked God to give me a spiritual father, because I deeply felt this need.
At one point I was offered a covenant with a large ministry, but after praying, the Lord said to my wife and me, “No, don’t commit yourself here, because I am going to make you part of a large family”.
At that time, we really needed support in the ministry, but we obeyed and declined this proposal.
A few years later, in 2004, a friend introduced us to Apostle John, and I liked him so much that I wanted him to come back.
He couldn’t come but he sent me Elijha Tom Jones who came with his wife and all his instruments, we had an unforgettable weekend. Then a few years passed and I asked a friend if he had heard from John, because I wanted to see him again, and Apostle John sent me Apostle David who we enjoyed very much. Then Apostle John came back, and my heart was on fire, I knew he would be my spiritual father, but I didn’t dare to ask him but he told me later that from the first day he saw me, he knew and was just waiting for me.
Then he often came to teach us and visit our church, he baptized me, and he became my father, and I am so grateful to have had him as my father!
He was a man of conviction, who was an example in his character, in his faith, in his love for God, he had a lot of wisdom.
He left his mark on our lives, sometimes shaking us in our beliefs, and often laughing as we marveled at the revelations he gave us about the Word of GOD.
Apostle John was a wonderful Father, he brought us together with the Emmint family throughout Europe, Daniel, Rufus, Denmark, Gratia, and then the whole EMI family throughout the world.
He knew how to create links, to gather around him sons and daughters in a big family that remains today after him, in the Kingdom of God.
Finally, Jocelyne and I want to thank Carmen, Marlene, Michael, and Johana for allowing John to visit us and teach us.
We pray that God’s tenderness will cover you, that he will soothe your hearts and give you his consolation.
Finally, to the entire EMI family, we want to say that we remain committed to you, to persevere in the work of the Kingdom of God.
May peace be upon you all.
