A one way road to salvation, joy and peace through Jesus Christ our LORD.

Who we are...
January 23, 2021

Heaven's Road is a group dedicated to sharing the testimony of Jesus Christ with others that do not know Him. We want to pray and help those in need within our community and around the world for God's glory and not of our own. We are simply servants of almighty God, our heavenly Father who loves us so much that He sent His own Son to die on the cross for our sins. This is a new group that I felt led by God to create and looking for some brothers or sisters in Christ to help manage or coordinate this group as a way in fellowship with each other. May God receive all glory, honor and praise for this work.

MISSING!!!

This is my brother John W. Werner. He is MISSING and was last SEEN on Friday February 12th in St. Leon, Indiana. There was a possible sighting of him walking past East Central High School on Saturday February 13th. This unfortunately ended up being a dead end and doesn't seem to be the case. I know there have been questions if the police have been notified and the answer to that is yes they have. We have flyers up and plan on putting more up. As for searching for him yes we ARE. We have searched fields, barns, ditches and have gone door to door. PLEASE if you see him call 911 or 812-537-3431. PLEASE HELP BRING MY BROTHER HOME!! Thank you to everyone that has helped us look and to the ones that have been sharing previous post. PLEASE keep sharing.


Sister: Cindy Freiling on behalf of ChristieandTodd Reid

I am posting this to request for prayer for Sam. As many people have heard, Sam was involved in a sledding accident Saturday afternoon. He was sledding behind a 4 wheeler when the tow strap accidently broke. He was slung into a hay tractor that was parked. He was impaled on one of the hay spikes. He was rushed to the Med after many wonderful people figured out how to saw the hay spike off of the tractor. The spike entered his abdomen area and excited behind his neck/ shoulder. He underwent emergency surgery where they worked to remove the spike from his body, repair a lacerated lung and other internal injuries. God saved Sam that day because an inch either way would have cost him his life. He has a long road to recovery. Currently he has 3 chest tubes, 2 wound vacuums, 6 broken ribs, and various other wires and tubes! Prayer requests for now....

Pray specifically for NO infection.

Pray for lung healing and ability to breathe well.

Pray for pain management. He is in a LOT of pain. It hurts to move any and to breathe deeply.

Prayers for comfort and endurance.

I know the Lord spared Sam and I believe Sam has a special purpose. We are so thankful for his life!

Thank you all who were there at the accident scene and who worked on Sam.

God is faithful!

I'll try to post updates as we go.

Everybody.......Hug your children tight!!!!!

Testimony of Faith from our brother, Kirk Gray

February 27 , 2021

I’m 43 and I’m from Conway, Arkansas. I went to Conway High School and graduated in 1996. My wife and I dated throughout high school and we got married in October of 1996. I have three girls and one boy. We’ve been married for 22 years. I had to stop working in 2019 due to my health. I was diagnosed with Neurocardiogenic Syncope, Seizures and R.E.M. Sleep Disorder. I worked in the Information Technology Department and really enjoyed my job. I miss working and interacting with my colleagues.

After I lost my job in February of 2019, I wasn't for sure what I was going to do. I have two kids that have health problems. My son, who is 10, has Noonan Syndrome and my 17 year old daughter has Chrons. So as months go by and I'm still wondering what in the world I'm going to do. I prayed about the situation, but I felt that I was not getting a response from God. I knew His timing is perfect, but I started to become anxious. Then, one day in November as I was getting ready that morning, a thought came to mind that I could not shake. I kept thinking about something called Heaven's Road. It was like I this thought was on repeat. As that morning progressed, something else came to mind, such as Heaven's Road website, Heaven's Road facebook, etc. I was trying to determine a platform that Heaven's Road was going to be built on. So, I said, "okay God, what's going? What are telling me?". Then shortly after, I got on the computer and started building a Heaven's Road facebook group. As I was working on the group, more thoughts and ideas were coming to mind. It was like God was directing me. Soon enough, I had a pretty good start to Heaven's Road facebook group. As time went on, more ideas were incorporated into the group to include messages not just for teens and adults, but for children as well.

Months went on and another thought came to mind. We didn't just want Heaven's Road to be just a group on facebook, but go beyond facebook. There are individuals that don't have a facebook account, but we wanted to reach out and share the gospel of Christ with them as well. So, we built a website called, Heaven's Road "facebook and Beyond"

You see, even though I did not have a job and was concerned about the future, God used me in ways that II never thought that I would be doing. The talents and skills that God gave me was used to create Heaven’s Road. He has blessed me more than I deserve. Heaven's Road is important to me, in a form that helps spread the gospel of Christ which was the commission that Christ gave us. Not to share the gospel of Christ in our community but around the world. I’m just a servant of our Lord, Jesus Christ. May God receive the glory, honor and praise for this work, not me. I'm just an instrument that God uses to share his love with the world.

Your brother in Christ,

Kirk Gray

Bible: zondervan (new international version)

Mark’s message: A Birth and Preparation of Jesus, The Servant
Mark 8:34-38 and Mark 9:1-13

The Way of the Cross

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”

The Transfiguration

2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.

11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”

Plan of Salvation: How to become a Child of God

Salvation through Our LORD, Jesus Christ

God, who is full of love, mercy and grace wanted to save you and me from our sins which is death. The penalty for our sins is total separation from God for eternity. God loves us so much, that He had a plan of salvation that would save not just you and me, but the entire world. There is only one road to heaven and that is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. God sent His only begotten Son to earth in form of God and man and He was sacrificed for us because Jesus took our sin debt for us, so that we could be set free from the bondage of sin and spend eternity with God. Jesus was beaten, cursed at, and a crown of thorns was placed on His head. He was nailed to a cross at a place called Calvary where he suffered, shed His blood and died for our sins, past, present and future sins for the entire world. That’s how much God loves you. It’s a free gift that God has given to us. All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and ask him to come into your heart and to forgive you of your sins. Jesus will work in your life and change your life that is full of joy, love and happiness. Yes, because we are saved does not mean that we’re perfect or that we won’t face troubles or illnesses in our lives. God uses certain situations to get our attention and to strengthen our faith and trust in Him. God has the best plan for our lives and trust me, it’s all worth it. To ask Jesus into your life, pray this simple prayer below and if you are sincere, then you will be saved and your name will be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and will never be erased. God will send a helper, the Holy Spirit to help guide you on your new journey to heaven. So come and join the family of God!


To become a child of God, pray this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. If you sincerely asked Jesus into heart and life, welcome to the family, God’s family my brother and sister in Christ. We are so glad you are part of the family.

In Christ’s Love,

Heaven’s Road
