First Church: Testimony Part 1
Last Read: |
When I was 16 and not a Christian, I had this girlfriend for the summer that went to church. I would go with her every Wednesday night. (Did I say she was cute). Well the pastor would always look right at me when giving the sermon. On several occasions I would remark to Becky about it. She always said, "No, he is looking over the entire congregation and it only appears that way to all." The next Wednesday, we were about to sit next to her parents in the middle and I grabbed her hand and led us to the very front pew and sat at the far left side of the church. You guessed it. Pastor Donavant gave the complete sermon with his chin on his right shoulder looking right at us. Becky didn't know what to say. After church since sitting at the front we were the last to the door out where the pastor was saying goodbye to all. He looked at me and said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel God brought you here for me to help get his message to you." I told him I didn't and I view these events even today at 46 years old as some of the path God led me down to becoming a follower of Jesus.

Michael God allowwed that pastor to plant a see in you. Most likely someone else did the watering, then the cultivating, Christ was preparing you. He loved us and knew us before we were in our mothers womb. God is so good, all the time. Love in Christ Ethel
