TESTIMONIALS

A friend whose husband has had cancer for some time wrote these words:
"I decided I'd wear it so it shows most of the time so Henry can be reminded of the Lord, his (and our) Savior and load-lightener."
T. Reinecke

"To be shoulder to shoulder with someone who has strength, direction, purpose that matches yours is significant and satisfying! To realize you are yoked, bonded with the King of Kings is beyond wonderful! The jewelry -- however you choose to wear it -- is a great symbol!"
S. King

"The yoke is a wonderful reminder that Jesus is working with me through every trial I may encounter."
T. Andrews

"As Christians, we walk daily in knowing Jesus died for our sins. When I heard of the yoke for the first time, I realized I had not been walking daily in confidence that Jesus is yoked with me to carry my everyday burdens. Now symbolically I have a reminder each day. Also, the unusual design opens doors for me to share of Christ's undying love."
D. Hallmark

"When I first heard the idea for the yoke necklace, I knew that I had to have one. I knew Pastor Jimmy, and I know what the yoke symbolized for him. His life was his testimony, but the yoke was a way to open up many conversations about his faith. Wearing my own yoke was originally a way to honor the legacy of a man that I truly admired and respected. I now look at my yoke, not only as a reminder of the man whose legacy inspired it, but as a reminder that I am not alone. Jesus allows me to “partner” with His strength as I face the stress and fatigue that goes along with our busy, hectic lives. Also, Matthew 11:28 reminds me that the yoke is a teaching tool…that He wants me to be “gentle and humble of heart”, like Him. I wear it almost every day, and find comfort and hope in the promise it represents!"
C. Evans

"I love to wear the yoke because it is a simple but unique witnessing tool, and almost always offers me an opportunity to share the background of the yoke and my oneness with Christ. It is a great gift of encouragement for those celebrating or those hurting to remind them that He will give us rest, as we take His yoke upon us!"
S. Davison

"While in Russia on a missions trip, I was able to share my testimony with an older Russian woman who had been a Communist her whole life. I gave her a yoke to look at while I read Matthew 11:28-30 to her. When the Bible verses were translated in Russian to her, she started weeping. She said through translators that she had never understood how a good God could let such bad things happen and give people such heavy burdens to carry. This was the first time she understood that God is good because He helps carry our burdens. I was able to pray with her and she accepted Jesus Christ right then and there! The jewelry is such a remarkable tool to be able to witness effectively."
