I cried watching Sam & Polly's story, when Sam said meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to him besides salvation 😢 Praise God! So blessed!
Proverbs 18:22
She was beautiful inside and outside.
Where in scripture does it rightly say ‘beauty is deceptive’ ?
me too. thank God.
😭😢😢😢 All the way from Republic of Ireland filipino
Nnnn;
So happy Polly and Sam were brought together, I feel like Polly was treated so so badly and to see her with her beautiful babies now and such a loving husband is so lovely
I sensed Sam was a domineering person because he was so eloquent in his speech. Now I understand why he is Trump's fervent supporter and a dye -in-the-wool capitalist
@@user-uz3gu6mg1roh no - Sam supports Trump?????
@user-uz3gu6mg1r I sense you're a socialist who hates America but is too cowardly to move to a socialist country because you wouldn't stand a chance. Enjoy your EBT card and welfare courtesy of us capitalists that actually work for a living. 😅
“Your clothes are not better than mine” 😱💔Polly may the Lord continue to bring healing to your heart. Thank you for sharing your story with us
Amen
Polly is a beautiful godly woman. Makes me sad that they made her feel so inadequate.
Amen!
I LIT. CRIED WITH HER.
Yes, thank you!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Sam and Polly are proof of when you have that feeling it's the right thing to do, go with it. May they always have a happy loving marriage.
I am impressed with the people who leave the Amish because they are strong in their love of the Lord.
@jayakumar karikuzhy You are assuming a lot. And why don’t you name the religion you speak of.
Just sitting here smiling from ear to ear. I am so glad that Sam and Polly found each other.
I have been slightly obsessed with learning about the Amish for over 10 years. This makes me have an even bigger heart for them.
So I found this series and can’t stop watching! I’m crying with heartfelt joy! Especially for sweet Polly and Sam! 😘 What a beautiful story! So well done! And leading these precious children of God to King Jesus! Nothing better 🤗
I found the series in the middle of the night and can't stop watching. Sam & Polly's story is beautiful 🥰
I'm off to watch part 4 now 😊
Talk about suffering from PTSD! These poor people were tormented! I'm so happy for Sam and Polly! Such a beautiful story of their lives after Amish! I pray the truth of the Word of God will be revealed to the ones they love and those who haven't left.
Such a beautiful story. Pollys happy face when she sat talking to us with her husband. Just beautiful. A blessed couple.
So sweet, so lovely💕🧡💕💐How sweet that the Lord turned all the pain from Sam and Polly’s pasts and redeemed it. He is so so good🧡May He use their story for His glory always and May He bless their marriage and lives abundantly🙏🙏🙏
Watching this has made me cry. Such beautiful people coming out of darkness into the light of the Gospel. Such brave people leaving the traditions of their fathers, but the pull of the Lord Jesus Christ is greater! God bless you all as you continue on your journey through life with the Lord Jesus Christ at the helm! Such a lovely Amish lifestyle working on the land though. The Amish people could have everything if they gave their lives over to the Lord Jesus Christ combined with such a healthy lifestyle working on the land. I, for one, would love to have a holiday working on their farms. I will pray for those Amish people who want to leave the traditions of their fathers. I’ve enjoyed this series and the joy of seeing Polly and her husband so very happy!
I'm so happy Polly and Sam met and married! What a blessing!
**SAM** not Sally.
@@AviationNut Thank you for pointing that out. The necessary corrections have been made.
@@Liren1975
You're welcome.
That was so amazing after they left the Amish they learned more about our Lord and savior that they never knew. Made me so happy they found each other and now are married. There are kids are such cuties.
Well done! I teared up with Polly. She is still in pain over her oppressive leaders and their abuse. Polly has a new Head Covering now, Jesus Christ and a husband who loves her. Praise God! Oh bless them Father. Break the bondages off your innocent and deceived children in the Amish community.
Amen
Amen! Beautifully written💖🙏
Praise the Lord.. Amen 🙏
AMEN!
This story touched my soul
What a beautiful love story. I cried with her when she talked about the struggles of leaving her family and the life she loved. I had struggles very similar to hers as I grew up in a Hutterite colony. I see a lot of similarities between the two cultures. I was also shunned by some of my family for leaving. Jesus is worth it all and heaven will be sweeter because of the heartache here.
Have you ever heard Pennsylvania Dutch? Can you understand most of it? I know the Hutterite German is different, as the Hutterites had emigrated to Russia and had various influences to their German dialect. But I have never come across any information on if the two dialects can be understood by both groups.
Yes, there seem to be many similarities to both groups. Obviously the big difference is the Hutterites share all property amongst the community and the Amish do not.
@@maryannebrown2385 I understood some of the words in their language but I couldn't understand an entire conversation. I think it is very different from the hutterite language.
Linda BayBridge Thank you for responding and letting me know. I have always been very curious about this matter.,
""Jesus is worth it all and heaven will be sweeter because of the heartache here."" What utter balderdash. So why don't we go ahead and inflict more pain and suffering on innocent people so they'll all be happier 'with Jesus'.
@@alicehudson8079 you sound like a very unhappy person. I'm sorry
I was blessed to have lived next door to Joe and Esther for several years. Such warmth with a true desire to help those needing a friend and a path forward. I know God will continue to guide Joe and Esther to do His good work.
That poor lady, you know what, I think those elders saw a light in her they were jealous and scared of, so that tried to snuff it out. Shame on them for being so cruel. I'm glad she found her hubby and ha beautiful children. She is a beautiful woman and soul. shine your light, Polly.
I just loved hearing how they found true love in Christ and then again with each other. My heart broke for both of them as they recounted their stories. What a beautiful redemption!
Oh Polly and Sam I jumped outta my seat and screamed "YES" when it was revealed you found one another!
Me too! They are so perfect for each other.
The Bibelquotes from Sam said it all.
I could feel it all way through
Their surnames, shown in the first couple of minutes, made it obvious.
I'm happy you were getting married and found new life and above all freedom in Jesus 🙏🙂
Joe's story made me tear up. I'm so happy for him and his wife that they realized the truth. Cults are all about power, control, and submission to a few. They never are good, or work. I am so happy these people left.
The only differences between cults and religions are that cults are usually smaller and less established and less accepted in larger society and religions are larger and more established and more accepted in society. Christianity itself was considered a cult once. I can’t see anything wrongs with cults personally. Look at Islam. It’s a religion but I don’t look too kindly on it here in the UK nor do the majority of people in the US.
@@noodlyappendage6729 You need to forget the premise that Christianity isn't a cult because there are many cults that "claim" to be Christian to draw people in. When leaders start imposing their own baseless rules and regulations, then it's time to run!
He loved his father More after accepting Salvation than when he WAS Amish bc He then knew what True Unconditional Love really was.... Wow! That hit me like a ton of bricks! These 3 episodes of an Amish Testimony are really really Great!
All Glory & Praise to God our Father, Yahweh, Elohim, the 1 & Only True Living God of Israel, Forever!
What beautiful stories. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for making this. I am a born again Christian of over 52 years I came to Christ through Billy Grahams ministry when I was 18 and now I am 70 and love to hear how people of all cultures come to Christ.
I love to hear these stories too!♥️
Me too. I was at a crusade in Pittsburgh Pa at the old Forbes field. I was 16 gave my life to Him and now 70 and love Jesus.
This is sooo touching. It sounds like the Amish people are very well intentioned, but they are missing the Truth. My heart was breaking to hear Sam and Polly's story. So grateful and happy for them to be together. They shine! God's richest blessings to you and your family.
I LOVE THE AMISH PEOPLE.
Yes! They're are a wonderful couple.
@@janaprocella8268 The emotional abuse Polly suffered from the Amish is nothing short of sadistic. I’m curious if you even watched this episode. And, if you did… how can you make such a statement?
@@wendytravis6427 Sending Love ❤️...Are you single? ❤️😊
@@wendytravis6427 Yes, Polly was picked on by one Minister or Bishop. That does not negate the social, cultural climate of her Amish community as a whole. There was something wrong with that minister. He is the one that is at fault, not the whole church.
I’ve always looked at the Amish I thought they preach Christ and His saving grace, and watching this documentary has opened my eyes to a lot of things, just knowing what they went through to find the real salvation in Christ makes me jump for joy that God showed them the true way. I don’t know if it’s just me, but when you look at the Amish there’s no smiles, their face looks empty but when you see one that turned to Christ you can see joy in their face! Thank you Lord for their blessings. I would love to get into an ministry to help people come to Christ!!! I still can by seeking, praying to God to guild those that are working for in the name of the Lord!!! My God blessed you and keep you. Keep on smiling! 🙏🏼✝️
Sam and Polly look like the perfect couple, I am so happy for the two of them. This series has gave me a different look on life.
I really understand with that type of control that getting out is what a person wants to do because I did it as well, but I have found the Lord and I'm living a happy life in Christ !
This episode made me weep. I can't imagine the pain of leaving all you know and your treasured culture. So glad you all found the grace of the savior,Jesus. God bless you all.
Notice how the word culture has " cult" in it?
@@sissyrayself7508 oh yeah never thought of that...Thank you
Amazing series! As an ex Jéhovah 's Witness it really strucks a familiar cord! 👀👍👌
Praise the Lord ! Christ is all we need & His Blood cleanses from ALL sin. Jeremiah 17: 9, 10.
Ezequel 36;26,27.💝
Same here
Jeez comparing JWs to Amish is like comparing Jews to Nazis.
JWs have a totally normal life. I'm not particularly religious but if I had to choose between JWs and Amish, it would be JW all day everyday.
Fascinating fact, the only religious group who refused to participate in both world wars and many other wars around the globe, and jailed for it, were JWs.
All the other religions blessed their troops- in the same religion!!!- on their way to kill each other.
@@brettmuvet9998 There are a lot of similarities in both dénominations. Shunning, excommunication, no vote ect... And yes JWs cant hold guns and dont engage in wars
@@brettmuvet9998 you miss the point. A religion is not "better" or "worse" based on who made the fewest wars. It is all about knowing Jesus personally, and knowing who he is. As religious sects, Jehovah 's Witnesses and the Amish have a LOT in common - - especially their "shunning" members who don't conform to the tradition or teachings.
He’s so sweet to her. So glad they both found happiness.
I had tears of joy for this couple, God Bless them ❤️
Oh my goodness that couples story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Jesus for salvation.
I just love this series😊😊😊👍 Polly seems so lovely...peaceful. Polly and Sam's story gives me hope. Joseph you did an excellent job with this series.💯 All the best to you and those who participated.
“All things work together for good to those who are called according to HIS purpose.” Amen
God Bless you and your beautiful family and ministry.
I am not Amish, but I was very blessed by this video and its content. I thank God for this ministry to Amish people and pray for your continued success and growth. One of my favorite moments of this video was Polly explaining how happy she was that first Sunday in church meeting the Pastor and his wife, feeling their unconditional love for her.
That is a most rewarding thing, an unconditional LOVE!
God bless Polly and Sam and their beautiful children.
This was so good, with the salvation of these two Amish people! Their smiles really show their love for Jesus!
Llllp
Maybe you can help me.
Do Amish people not believe in Jesus?
Are they not Christians?
I always thought that they were but I don't know much about them since I live in South Africa and there are no Amish communities here.
I'm not condemning them- many religions, for example Judaism and Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and the many iterations of Ancestor worship that make up the minority religious here, don't revere Jesus Christ as I do, but I always thought Amish people were Christians.
Please can someone clear this up for me.
@@janrees4887 Amish are Christian. It is a branch of Protestantism. They use the Bible, their standard version is the German Bible. They speak a dialect/language called Pennsylvania Dutch. It is most closely related to the dialects Rhine. They follow believers baptism. They have the two sacraments of Protestantism.
We don't know these two people are/were/will be saved. If they had stayed in Christianity they would understand that their salvation is Jesus choice not their own. This series shows these people's descent into Self Idolatry.
@@janrees4887 Amish teach salvation by works. And the works that they MUST do are determined by which Amish sect they belong to. That is why there was talk of splits and divisions of Amish churches in the video. What they are missing is the GIFT of salvation freely given to every person who comes in faith to Jesus. The Amish miss the simple truth that a place in heaven can never be earned, but is freely available to all through faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Oh my gosh, Polly and Sam are so cute. So happy for Joe, Sam and Polly in finding their path through God's light.
You are a good film maker. This particular film made me cry at the power of God and His blessings.
p0⁰
He's cute. Added value 😅😅😅😅😅😅
"She was the best thing that happened to me other than salvation". Awww!!
So romantic ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
There PERFECT for each other, its BEAUTIFUL ❤ Aww and there little one shares my BIRTHDAY October 7th Xx
A wonderful romantic story ❤️
This is really very, very moving. I love the story of Sam and Polly. She really is a wounded soul. She needs so much healing. So glad that Sam is in the ministry with Joe Keim! Praying that many Amish souls will be saved in this New Year!
Amish life is all encompassing. When you leave it, you can't even keep your hair!! You have to go totally English. That's what totalitarianism is like. It allows the ministers to bully and pick on weak members. Good luck to those who escape.
This is one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen. The story of Sam and Polly is very moving.
I need to view this episode again.
Sam & Pollys story is so sweet. They were meant to be.
Yes, because nobody else wanted them
I have watched this many times,and I cried each time for Polly , and her husband and their family. May the Lord watch over them.
How happy I am for this married couple! tears flow with joy... I'm from Russia, I'm looking in translation.
This was a great series. Really opened my eyes to how hard it is to break from traditions that have been in someone’s life for generations. But ultimately, it was so great to see their eyes opened to Jesus Christ, our one True God
This is the sweetest storey And how God worked in there life's . He is always truly in control .
Joseph you done a great job with this series! You are very talented and we can tell you are a very kind and special person! God bless you and your family!
This series has been a blessing to hear. Such good people that are missing something they have needed all a long a personal relationship with their savior!
That was such a beautifully crafted video and an absolutely heartbreaking story. Thank you for creating and posting. I look forward to watching the rest of this series.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful love story, between Jesus and these young people.
Polly and Sam are the perfect example of a beautiful culture free from that oppressive twist. Hopefully in the future more Amish communities will see that they are an example of what is great about their Amish upbringing but how their oppressive ways have led to unnecessary trauma.
Absolute truths
Tears of joy that God put Sam and Polly in each other's path and heard their heart's cries.
I have nothing negative to say about the Amish - but there’s nothing we can do to “earn” our way to Heaven. Jesus is the only way. Gift of salvation is from God. Love this series. Can’t imagine how hard it was for these people to leave their families and friends. I pray their people eventually come to Christ. They do have so many good qualities that I admire
Awwww the love story and wedding made me cry, a beautiful bride. So wonderful.
God is so good. So happy for you. Hallelujah for Samuel and wife. God bless you and family.
That has to be such an emotional stress on a person to love their parents but to walk away because of an unacceptable lifestyle! This video has made me cry. It is so so sweet!
I relate to their experience on so many levels after having left the Seventh-day Adventist church.
I am sorry that you have such feelings toward the SDA Church.
I'm a 7 the Day Adventist now
So happy for this couple ! They were put together by God .. God bless them !
No. It was desperation as they couldn't find others
They are such a sweet couple!!! Glad they found each other.
People of your caliber know little of what true love is.
Just love these films. I'm crying, laughing, and cheering! Hallelujah when we find our Jesus! ❤🌟
Oh how precious is this love story for Jesus and each other. Happiness forever to that sweet family!
It's great to see that these people who leave their congregation have a support group of like-minded believers!
Thanks for sharing the love. Blessings
I love how much Sam cherishes Polly!
Love this!!! This is such a great series!! And I really want to give Polly a hug!! She is so sweet and has such a humble spirit. Praise Yahweh thank you Father for what you have done in these precious lives!!
Thank you for this series. Powerful. We have Amish friends in Iowa. Dear friends and have built trust between us. We have been in their homes many times. They are customers of ours in our alternative and natural medicine business.
Your series helps my wife and I understand better their culture. Thanks again! Well done!
Our family went to visit the Amish community in Pa. They are wonderful, kind, good people.
It made me so sad to see people living this way. God is truly amazing and he does it again and again ....
"That's between you, her and the God" I'm not a religious man but this is really lovely. Our decisions are ours.
you may be closer to God than you ever thought!
God gave man free will to choose whether to do good or evil. I'm touched by their testimonies on how God loves them unconditionally. By this my faith in Jesus Christ is more stronger than ever
Beautiful ending to work for the Lord to minister to Amish families who are realising that the faith of Jesus is what they yearn for. Christ in us is the hope of glory to be transformed into Gods image. God bless you all 💝
I have loving Tears in my eyes for this Family and all Amish people that have gone their own way. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful story of true love! God bless Sam and Polly.
God bless this family. Open the eyes of the hearts of the Amish.
So thankful to have watched this .. always have revered the Amish, this opened my eyes. So happy for the husband and wife these two made together meeting the way Jesus intended... beautiful.
Polly and Sam are delightful people. May God continue to bless you both.
Sam and Polly - what a precious story!
I'm an Atheist (Not a Militant), but dang I'm addicted to this series.
NOTE: I respect every views and religions all through out the world and learning them everyday, I love to study religion, its fascinating. I am now interested in learning the The Way of the Amish. I keep an open mind, I hope you do too :) .
You need to be in the Catholic Church to be in heaven. I enjoy this series too, but the One True Church is the only arc of salvation. All other Christian sects contain error and may contribute to leading a person to hell or astray
@@angelicacalvet6708 That is not true. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven not praying to or worshipping statues! Only God can forgive sins not a human being like your religion falsely teaches. Please read the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance.
@@MJ-my9sg we do not worship statues, wherever you got that from it is not correct, nor the rest of what you said. Study the Catholic Faith
@@angelicacalvet6708 sweety the bible does not say "the way to the father is through the catholic church" ....it says " the way to the Father is through the Son!" ...God knows your heart and the faith you have in him and his son Jesus Christ. There is error in the Catholic church as well....I've heard many stories of priests who molested an altar boy(s). Following God's word is how you go to heaven.
@@jesusistheonlywaytothefath9020 that is not correct. The Catholic Church is the Church Christ founded and like most places it is composed of sinners. It does not contain error in the deposit of the faith, even if there are people who misrepresent or who received a compromised version of what the Church actually teaches. He who seeks finds. You can get to heaven without having direct knowledge of Jesus, through no fault of your own. The surest arc of salvation, however, is the One True Catholic and Apostolic Church of Rome.
What a lovely story. Sometimes we're burdened to grow our roots stronger in the lord. All the work of God.
My heart goes to everyone who is sharing their stories and everything they endured. Polly and Sam -truly blessed. 💕
Thank you so much for the video. Such a happy ending. So very sad to see her cap was never ever good enough, pushing this girl trough such unnecessary trails. Plain harassment, those ‘ministers’ have no love whatsoever. Hope and pray they will also see the Light and get saved.
That old deacon was harassing Polly out of lust and sexual frustration.
@@girlnextdoorgrooming That is exactly what he did. I'm so happy she and Sam found each other!
I love how much Sam loves Polly ❤️😭 so sweet.
A beautiful story‼ He does work in mysterious ways and never makes mistakes. He made you for each other, you are each others purpose. 🙏✝️💜
God's plan unfolded for Polly and Sam. He has a plan for all of us. Don't just believe about Him but believe in Him.
This was such a beautiful story and I am so happy for this lovely couple. Forever together in fellowship with God. God bless you both.
I love the happy ending for Sam and Polly. They deserve it. The gospel of Christ frees people!
What beautiful testimonies! God bless those ones who came to believe and understand through the scriptures and are helping others believe in the gospel of Jesus too.
Joe keim’s story reminded me a little of the Battle of Jericho in Joshua . I’m so impressed by these stories. These people who have come to the truth of God’s love, make me a little ashamed of the effort I put into it. I didn’t have to give up anyone to become a Christian, I can’t imagine losing your family, what brave souls they are. Wish I could attend their churches once in a while.
🇨🇦 OMG..... the best part of this episode = when I found out that Polly and Sam are together.... Epic moment, I was all smiles n happy till the end. Very Well done
Are you 11
I love, love this story! I feel so bad for the Amish that live under harsh rules that God does not want us to have, even though I know they are good people and mean well. I'm so happy for this young couple and the freedom that they have in God and their new life! What a beautiful family!
Oh Polly!! I got chills hearing your story! God is SO good!! May you and your husband’s testimony turn many hearts to Christ. God bless you both! ( and beautiful children)
One died last year
The most sweetest love story ever! 🌹
This made me cry. It is so similar to many young people that I know, that have left the old order Mennonites. Many haven’t seen their families in a long time, some where even severly beaten for accepting Christ. The testemonies are so beautiful how they find peace in Jesus.
2020 may have been a curse for some ppl.... I have been blessed beyond measure, 10 fold..... This video series is the cherry on top. Your family fills my heart with love. May GOD forever bless all of you! 🙏💓🙏
Do you fell it's fair for you to flaunt your happiness in the face of the ones suffering? Do you feel special?

What strong brave people to leave everything they've ever known for the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! I cried tears of joy with Polly and Sam...powerful testimonies!! ❤☝️❤ They're absolutely adorable!! ALL of their journeys broke my heart for the suffering they had to endure to get to the other side and finding the Lord Jesus Christ...❤☝️❤
That was such a touching family, I am so glad they found each other under God‘s hands!
Such a lovely couple. Polly..your soul is beautiful. I loved this story. Thank you!!
I thought this was some sort of lovey dovey Hallmark movie in my recommendations for the past 2 weeks. I finally thought I’d take a peak at it. Glad I did!
Such a beautiful story
Thank you for sharing the history of the Amish ways. And congratulations on your wedding you guys look wonderful have a spectacular holiday. 🙏❤️✝️🇺🇸⚜️
I think this is a beautiful love story. God blessed them with a wonderful relationship.
Beautiful people! I wish them a long happy live with Gods love
I love the couple’s story, just beautiful, I wish them happiness for ever.
In the beginning all I could think was "wouldn't it be cool if Sam and Polly got together".... just so wonderful 💜
Lovely story! It reminds me of
My Catholicism. Thank you Lord for young Christian couples.
I love my catholic faith! God bless
