Conversion Experience…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The church had never been a part of my family’s priorities. From time to time I went to church as a child and was exposed to the gospel as a teenager.<\/p>\n

In 1980, after experiencing many financial problems, marital problems, and the extreme physical illness of my daughter, I became aware that I was not in control of the circumstances surrounding my life.\u00a0 Feeling very alone and helpless, I turned to the only escape I knew — the world. Depression set in and a desperation for help.<\/p>\n

In February of 1980, through a long series of circumstances, I watched a television program that began to change the way I thought about God.\u00a0 Through that program I saw a glimmer of hope and began to search for answers. I read the Bible as a new source of hope.<\/p>\n

In March of 1980, I repented from my sin, and ask God to forgive me, and invited Jesus Christ to come into my heart to be my Lord.\u00a0 On May 5, 1980, I was obedient to the Lord in believer’s baptism, and preached my first sermon in September of 1980.<\/p>\n

The Lord performed many wonderful miracles in my early Christian life which deepened my love for my Savior and brought about some very rapid growth.\u00a0 God not only healed the relationship between my wife and I, but made our marriage better than I ever expected it could be.\u00a0 Two weeks after my conversion, God restored the health of my daughter.\u00a0 The desire for the things of the world simply vanished as I truly became a new creation in Christ Jesus!<\/p>\n

Call Experience…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most difficult task in explaining my call experience is to try to put on paper the impressions the Holy Spirit placed on my heart.<\/p>\n

About six months after I was saved I began to sense a deeper and growing burden to see not only lost people come to Christ but to see a heaven sent revival in the church of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Even as a new Christian with limited knowledge of the Word of God, I knew all was not right with the body of Christ.\u00a0 The more I saw of Christians, the more I was reminded why lost folks didn’t want anything to do with the church.<\/p>\n

This burden continued to grow to the point that I could no longer deny the calling of the Lord to “Go and stir my people.”\u00a0 After surrendering my life to ministering to the body of Christ, there was an immediate confirmation from the Holy Spirit that this was Gods will. \u00a0I really don’t believe I could ever be fulfilled doing anything other than preaching the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
