God first began to reveal His Son, Jesus, to me after the Gideons distributed small New Testaments on the campus of the Trade School I was attending in 1983.
Since other religions and all people professing faith in Christianity referenced the Bible, I determined to study it for myself and not accept the opinions of others.
The Lord brought a well-studied Pentecostal believer into my life to facilitate the beginnings of this experience.
For 17 years, I believed their Doctrine until a family emergency forced me to leave the reinforcing influence of that denomination.
God then continued my education in near isolation, as My Mother succumbed to Alzheimer’s and I was forced to live the life of a Caregiver and shut-in for 14 years.
This period was when He began to show me the things I now advocate.
I then moved to the southern United States and have continued to study the Bible for 11 years.
Thanks be to God!
