Q: How did you become a Christian?
A: I was 12 years old. On a Monday morning in revival, the Lord spoke to me and I was saved. I joined Stamp Baptist Church then and have been a member of that church ever since.
Q: What did you get from being involved in the church’s ministries?
A: I enjoyed reading and studying the Bible and seeing many of my Sunday School pupils come to know the Lord.
Q: How do you see yourself involved in church in the future?
A: I plan on being faithful in attendance and supporting my church in prayer.
Q: How has your faith helped you?
A: My faith has sustained me through sickness, hard times and death in my family. Now that I’m old, living alone and can’t read or go to church as much as I did, I feast on my faith and God’s Word.
