I  came  to  Christ  early  in  my  senior  year  of  high  school.    Although  

I  attended  a  Christian  school  up  through  the  eighth  grade,  I  knew  about  Christ  but  I  didn’t  really  know  Him  personally.    I  realized  the  difference  when  I  started  attending  a  Bible  study  with  a  classmate  who  would  later  become  

my  wife.    

It  was  only  a  few  months  later,  and  just  before  my  graduation,  that  my  mother  took  her  own  life.    It  was  through  God’s  grace,  and  that  young  lady,  that  I  survived  a  very  difficult  time  for  me  and  for  the  entire family.

I  started  attending  an  independent  Bible  church  where  I  came  under  the  teaching  of  a  Dallas  Theological  Seminary  graduate.    By  the  end  of  my  freshman  year  of  college  I  knew  that  God  was  calling  me  into  full  time  ministry.    That  young  lady  has  been  married  to  me  for  the  last  57  years.
