Born Again: At a Revival During the Third week in August,
1933
Place: New Hope Baptist Church
Age: 14 years old
My Testimony
The Lord saved me at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church the third week
of August on the last night of the revival. Brother T. M. Boyd preached
to me and I became very troubled. When I turned it all over to the Lord
I felt a wonderful peace come over me. It was like I went to sleep and woke
up in a different world. I wanted to shout but I didn't and it was one year
before I told what the Lord had done for me. The Lord saved me 63 years
ago. I didn't shout then, but I thank the Lord I did shout years later when
my oldest daughter, Elizabeth, was saved.
"O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I
will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old
are faithfulness and truth."
[Isaiah 25:1]
