At age 27 my life needed to change as I was desperate for answers. I passed by a church building one fall afternoon when suddenly I knew that I needed Jesus. My wife and I attended a local church and asked for help. Thankfully the pastor knew our need for salvation and led us in a prayer of accepting Jesus Christ into our hearts. Shortly thereafter, we were water baptized (full immersion) and attended one on one bible study covering the doctrines of the faith about our new life with Jesus.

Now life had purpose and my heart was filled with God’s love and appreciation for what He did at the cross. And the Holy Spirit helps us through our daily walk with all of its trials and troubles, but the blessings outnumber the more difficult times of life. I would hate to think what my life would have been without Jesus the past 30 years. My life as a husband, father to four children and now  5 grandchildren has been enriched beyond measure. It is because Jesus Christ is the lord of my life and He fills it with love, caring, and helps me to withstand all trials and troubles that come our way in life. Having Jesus find me after being lost for 27 years has been the highlight of my life. Jesus is real in my life and can be in yours if you just ask Him to be.
