I trusted Christ at around nine years old. However, I built on the foundation of Christ with tradition and works for the next 25 years. Then God brought a financial trial into my life - one that took me near the brink of bankruptcy. Then he also brought a godly man into my life that began pointing me to Christ as my only hope. I have now been walking with the Lord for over 25 years and have been blessed with a wonderful wife, Judy, for 41 years, have 2 daughters and 2 grandsons.
