The Christian Experience
I heard the voice of the Lord on a Sunday evening to become a part of the body of Christ. The Lord called me into this Christian life with transcendent love which has covered and kept me on this life’s journey. God has used my various life experiences to help others at all levels from the downtrodden, underserved population, youth, and so on. I’m eternally grateful that the Lord has called me to be a servant
