My parents had accepted Christ and were committed Christians and raised me to be a Christian. At age 7, I received Christ in my heart for my self. For the rest of my childhood I served Christ as a witness to my peers – leading many children to the Lord. I began serving as Minister of Music at my mother’s church at age 13. I ran my first revival at age 15. I was a kid on fire for God! At age 18 I left my parents home for college. For the following two years I remained faithful to the teaching that I had as a child.
However, once I reached my 20s, I found myself enticed by the things of this society. I began to explore alcohol, immorality and promiscuity. At the same time, I was serving as an associate pastor and minister of music. There were times I would be leading people in worship while feeling totally disconnected from God. After several moments of total failure and utter embarrassment, I realized that God still loved me just as He did when I was a little child. He reached me in my weakness and restored me.
Today, I am a true believer in God’s love and restoration power. My life has been restored. I am happily married to a beautiful Christian woman. I serve as minister of worship and arts at a great church. I have also been graced with the opportunity to minister through music around the globe with songs that I’ve written from my experiences with God. But, most importantly, I am living the life that I profess. By God’s help, my life is now stable, moral and undeniably Christian.
