[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

In October of 1976 I heard a message preached by Bro. Ron Craig in Ward Arkansas and was convicted and while I couldn’t walk the aisle for the invitational, I went home and got on my knees at my bedside and asked Jesus to be my savior. I was baptized a few weeks later

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Hitting rock bottom after walking away from the Lord for two decades and finding Jesus waiting with open arms when I repented.

The first communion I took after coming back to Jesus brought me to tears. Will never forget it

The people at Hilltop Baptist who welcomed Julie and I with open arms and provided discipleship that I had never experienced before
