When I was 20 years old, my father died. I know the Holy Spirit used this event to really get my attention. When my Dad died( I was with him) I had a strong feeling that there was something I needed to say to him, but I did not know what it was. This troubled me for 9 years. I kept wondering where my Dad was. After I married Roger and had a son, we attended a United Church of Christ. But I wasn’t getting answers to some of the moral questions that I had. We went to a Billy Graham movie, and that is where I first heard the true Biblical facts about death and Jesus dying for our sins according to John 3:16. I began to understand that I had never accepted Christ as Rev. Graham said everyone must do for eternal salvation. At that point, Roger and I went forward on the invitation to accept and believe.

From that point on, God led us on from The Grace Brethern Church, where we heard our first preaching on Revelation, and where we were baptized 3 times. Eventually, through cicumstances, God took us to Calvary Baptist Church in Lansdale, PA, where we were again baptized in the true biblical way like Jesus was, and we remained there for 30 years until we moved to S.C. 4 years ago and joined FBNS. The Lord took care of us, taught us much, had us put our 3 children in the  church’s Christian School where they learned biblical truths and living. They all 3 grew up to live godly, moral lives, which is our greatest blessing. The Lord has sustained us, helped us, and has always been there to take us through the trials and storms of this life, of which there are many. He has promised to take us to heaven because we have accepted the gift of His Son, dying in our place, so we can enjoy life eternally. I consider my life a success because I have done the most valuable important thing any person can do–and that is believing Jesus died for me, and making Him LORD of my life.
