Tommy CrewsBorn Again: March of 1957 |
His TestimonyAs a small child I loved to stay with my grandmother on the farm. She would always take me to church and to community church singings. While riding along, she would tell me about the Lord and the beatitudes. My parents took me to church every Sunday, and when I was twelve years old, at a revival at the First Baptist Church in Huntingdon, I became convicted of my sins and I went down for prayer but I was not saved. That night when I went home, I was saved in my bedroom. Everything seemed so bright and the peace that the Lord gave me that night is still with me today. That Sunday after the revival, I joined the church. That was March 24, 1957. On February 10, 1982, I moved my membership to Independent and have been trying to serve as a deacon and Sunday School teacher. Because the Lord has done so much for me and my family, I felt I could not refuse to serve him in any way. |

Trey CrewsBorn Again: On a Wednesday
|
His TestimonyI was saved on a Wednesday night during a revival meeting in 1982 at Independent. I was sitting in the back of the church, front row of the old Sunday school rooms, when He convicted me. Brother Kenneth Massey was preaching. I just knew I did not want to go to hell. Lance, Timmy, and I were sitting back there usually "goofing off", however, when Brother Massey finished preaching, that was not the case that night. Lance made the first move, then the next thing I recall, I was at the altar, and did not know quite what to pray. I made many deals with God and tried asking Him to save me. I remember saying it many times, but it seemed I had not meant it from deep within my soul. Lance got saved and they began to shake hands and sing as I lost touch with everything. I saw myself suspended in darkness by a rope and I was at the end. I felt like all I had to do was let go and trust that God would catch me. I finally got tired of thinking what I should do or say, so I said, "God here I am catch me." I came to and knew He had saved me! I did not feel the need to pray any more. I looked up and saw Brother Massey's face and I said " I've been saved". I joined the church that night. I've been saved and a member there ever since. Unfortunately, I have doubted because I've strayed from God, but never did He ever take that experience of Wednesday night in 1982 away from me. God is full of Grace! |
