How I became a Christian: "Though I was raised in a broken home, my best friend in school was a Christian. His parents took me under their wing and had a tremendous impact on my coming to Christ. I was converted at a traditional revival meeting around the age of 10 or 11. The pastor gave the invitation and I knew that God was calling me to Himself."
Specific ways that my church family can be praying: "Pray for health issues related to my family and also that God's Spirit will continue to give me wisdom in ministry."
