“For the first 38 years of my life, even as the son of a minister, knowing and hearing about Christ, it was not until 1991, when I accepted Christ as my personal Savior, that the total philosophy of my life became 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 –‘ If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.’ God has been true to his promises.”
