Hi my name is Lynn,

My mother and father divorced when I was approximately 5 years old.  My mother remarried, and my stepfather was an alcoholic and very abusive. My brother and I were brought up poor and our living conditions were horrible.  We moved around a lot from trailer park to trailer park.  By the time I was in sixth grade I had been in enrolled in six different elementary schools. 

On occasion if a church van or bus would offer, my brother and I could go to church.  My parents did not go to church, so this was the only time I was able to go.  When I was (8) I can remember the preacher at Burkemont Baptist speaking about death and hell. I went forward and told the preacher that I wanted to know the man upstairs.  A couple of weeks later I was baptized and became a member of the church.  I would later in life come to realize that this experience was a church experience instead of a salvation experience.

At age 10, I ran away from home and child protective services gave custody of me to my grandparents.  The neighborhood that we lived in had lots of teenagers and young adults that were much older than me.  I made many of them my friends and it was through them I became acquainted with drugs and alcohol.  As a teenager, I was wild and crazy and got into all kinds of trouble. Fighting, drugging, drinking, and many other things that I'm ashamed of.  Fortunately, I met a friend whose parents were good Christian people and they invited me to church with them. 

A quest speaker was giving a presentation on heavy metal rock- n-roll music and talking about how the devil used various tools to embed thoughts in our minds to act upon.  It was through this presentation that the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin and revealed to me of my being lost.  He ask the question if I was to die today, did I know whether or not I would go to heaven?  I did not?  It was right there in the First Assembly of God Pentecostal Church that I gave my heart to Jesus. 

I prayed the sinner's prayer and acknowledged that I believed that Jesus died for my sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day.  I admitted I was a sinner and confessed my sins asking Jesus to forgive me.  I invited Jesus to come and live in my heart and be my Savior and Lord.  Praise God!!!!!  July 17, 1983 is my spiritual birthday.  I love to tell the story...
