I teach Biblical Exposition Courses and NT Greek at Corban College in Salem, Oregon.
CONVERSION EXPERIENCE
The Lord drew me to Himself through my father’s testimony. Just before
my seventh birthday I listened as my father witnessed to a neighbor at
our dining room table. When the neighbor left I asked him to explain to
me how I could become a Christian, which he did.. Then a week or two later,
during a revival in which the evangelist preached on Hell, I trusted Christ
and immediately made my decision public.
