Growing up I knew right from wrong. I didn't party, I didn't drink alcohol or do drugs.I didn't even smoke. I didn't have problems with my parents, but I lacked a true inner peace.

I sat in a Steve Camp concert on August 18th of 1986 watching people go forword during the invitation. Then it struck me like lightning bolt, it wasn't good enough to be a good person, I needed to be saved. The Lord told me that night that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. All have sinned. I asked Jesus to come into my heart that night.

Although my transformation wasn't dramtic as some have been, I finally had a true peace in my life. I was a different person. I had a mission in my life, I didn't want to see people go to Hell. Although I have failed the Lord many times, I have never once regretted the decision I made that spring night years ago.
