 My Testimony

I came under conviction when I was nine or ten years old. I started going to the alter asking the Lord to save me. For some reason, God didn't save me and after three or four years, I stopped going to the altar. Eventually, I stopped going to church. Nearly thirty years later, my wife, Francis, asked me to go to church with her and I consented. After hearing Brother Allison preach the gospel on Sunday night, I was extremely troubled. That night as I was going to bed, I asked the Lord to save me and He did. I do not know why God didn't save me at first nor why He saved me at that time, but I am extremely proud He did. I felt relieved!


"Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock." [Luke 6:47-48]


Carl went home to be with the Lord in November 5, 2005. He was a Deacon of our Church and will truly be missed. He leaves his wife Frances who is our Sunday School Clerk and a member of the church choir.
