Salvation

Five years ago, the Lord answered a prayer that has changed my life completely. After 12 years of marriage and much prayer, I saw my husband, Kenneth, accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. The changes in him are amazing. He tried several ways but only God could strengthen him to quit smoking after more than 15 years. Little by little I saw God pruning away habits, attitudes, and behaviors. When he was invited to the Sons of Faith meetings, he was so excited and diligently studied and prepared to speak what God would have him share. Later came, Men’s Fraternity, which God has used to grant him a greater level of spiritual maturity.

Today, Kenneth serves our Lord as an usher at DBC. God has given him favor with his Sunday School teacher, Larry Marks, who often allows Kenneth the opportunity to teach. God has also granted him favor with brother Hank Smith who has asked Kenneth to teach in his place several times. Kenneth also preaches at a nursing home to fill in for Josh Turner and at the Spanish Ministry for brother Isidro Garza. I am a witness that God answers prayers and can change lives completely around for His glory and honor. God answered my prayer above and beyond what I expected. I would have never known to ask for all that He has done.

My praises are for God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our redeemer. If you are praying for someone’s salvation, don’t give up!!!!


Love & Blessings,
