How long since being saved? I have been saved since 1948.

Tell us about your moment of conviction: We were at the top church, where it was located before it was moved to its present location. There was a group of persons from the Morgans New Testament Church when I was just a schoolboy. A sermon was preached and it touched my heart deeply, and I gave my life to the Lord. From I started, I have never come to a decision that I would turn back. I have never been discouraged from serving the Lord. I started many years ago, and I intend to continue serving God until He is ready to take me home.

Most challenging moment since being saved: In spite of everything, though I have been challenged by the many tests that have come my way, I am still holding on to my God.

Most miraculous moment since being saved: I remember the night when the Holy Ghost came upon me. That was one of the things I longed for; to have that freedom and that divine anointing. I was praying very long for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, to have that sweet freedom and divine anointing; and the Lord granted it to me.

Message to Christians: Do not be discouraged. You have chosen the best thing. Earth could not have afforded you this sweet salvation. Jesus Christ gave His life to redeem us and there is nothing better. No riches or earthly possession can ever equal that which Christ has given you.

Message to non-Christians: The time is short, and it is time for you to put away procrastination. It is time for you to step in, because the day is far spent and the night is at hand. To delay is danger. If you should remain in sin until the Lord returns, then Hell will be your portion. I am urging you to accept the Lord as your personal Lord and Saviour. Deny the pleasures of this world and start to serve the Lord, because nothing is better than doing so.

Favourite Bible scripture: Psalm 23:4
