When did you trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

I was 9 years old when I repented of my sins and trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I remember stealing a six-pack of yoo-hoo chocolate drinks and feeling remorse for what I had done. I remember asking my grandmother what sin was and her and my pastor taking me to the Scriptures and explaining my need for a Savior! Praise God he saved me and then called me into full-time ministry at the age of 16, Hallelujah what a Savior!

What is your favorite Scripture?

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

What is your favorite color and why?

Green, don't have a good reason why other than it's the best!

What are your hobbies?

Anything outdoors, well it was until we moved to the north and experienced -20 degree weather. So anything outdoors, until it starts snowing in September, and then it's anything that's warm.
