testimony shallow:
I asked the Lord Jesus to come into my heart when I was twelve years old in Monroe Louisiana at Emanuel Baptist Church. (My Grandparents Church)
testimony deep:
Where to start…as a juvenile hearing the word of God came like rain on dry grass. The moment I heard about Jesus Christ being the son of God and bearing my sin on
the cross, I believed. I knew that all of it was true, and Jesus was what I needed. If it was not for music my walk with Christ could be very different now. I got involved with worship at 15,
it was with a worship leader that happened to work with my father and so he brought John and I together. It didn’t go very well, I wanted to rock, he wanted to worship, so I quit playing. John then asked me to play with him just this one event and he would never bother me again, well after that one time it stuck and for 6 to 7 years I was involved in some type of worship team. There were times where the only reason I came to church was because I got to play, but God knew what He was doing of course, and so I got fed, really well and some of that stuff is still roaming in my head. So now I’m in the prime of my life, seeking God, raising a family, ministering and getting ministered to in a band that strives to lift up and exalt Gods’ Holy name. If ever you get a chance to speak with me ask me and I can tell you tons more. My desire is that I can become more like Christ and as a product of that I desire to lead others to the foot of the cross and share with them the awesome love they have got in Jesus, that there is hope in this life, a destine for those who call on the name of Jesus, to be with Him in Heaven for eternity.
