When Setbacks Become Setups: Testimony (Our Joseph Story)

Scripture: Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28

Subtitle: How God turned our hardest moments into a calling to help families.

From the pit to the palace, Joseph’s story reminds us that what the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for good. In this testimony, we share how God has walked with our family through challenges, delays, and disappointments—transforming pain into purpose and calling.

The Pit — When Setbacks Become Setups Testimony

I remember the pit seasons—hospital rooms, unknowns, closed doors, and prayers that came out as tears. Like Joseph, I didn’t choose the pit. But even there, God met us. He gave us a promise before He gave us a plan.

This message is our When Setbacks Become Setups testimony. It’s a reminder that even in our lowest moments, God was writing a greater story

The Prison (Our Joseph Testimony)

Prison wasn’t bars—it was a delay. Late nights, prototypes that broke, emails that never came back, and people who didn’t believe. Yet God whispered, “Your setback does not cancel My purpose.” In those quiet hours, He gave ideas: better ways to support little feet, ways to ease pain, and technology that could lift burdens for families like ours.

The Palace (Purpose Revealed — Setbacks Become Setups)

We watched God take designs sketched in faith and turn them into real help for real kids. Doors opened. Partners appeared. What felt like a detour was actually a direction. Today our calling is simple: turn pain into purpose—for our family and for yours.

Restoration & Forgiveness (Joseph Testimony)

Joseph didn’t end bitterly. He ended as a blessing. That’s our posture too. We forgive, we keep building, and we believe the best is yet to come—for every parent holding onto hope and every child learning to do what others said was impossible.

Testimony: God took our tears and made them blueprints. He turned our “why?” into “watch what I’ll do.” If He did it for us, He can do it for you.

What This Means for You

• You are not disqualified. Delay isn’t denial.

• God is working behind the scenes. He’s aligning people, resources, and ideas.

• Your story will bless others. The place that hurt you can become the place where others get healed.

A Simple Prayer

Father, thank You for turning what was meant for evil into good. Heal what’s broken, redeem what was lost, and use our story to lift others. Give us strength for today and vision for tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Our journey is a living example of a When Setbacks Become Setups testimony. If He did it for us, He can do it for you.
