Q: How did you come to know the Lord?
A: When I was 14, I spent a summer with my [older] sister and her husband in Columbia, S.C. I went to church with them while I was there. On [a] Sunday night, the pastor preached about knowing for sure you were saved. … When I came home, I went into my sister’s bedroom and told her I had never been saved. It was July 3, 1967.
Q: What led you to serve in church?
A: My daddy was a deacon, and my mother played the piano at their church for 45 years. We were taught to be faithful and to serve. It’s just something that was put into me. … I wanted to serve.
Q: What has serving in church required of you?
A: Commitment. To me, that’s so important. I just think you ought to be committed if you want to do something.
Q: How do you see yourself involved in ministry in the future?
A: As long as I can go, I will. I started a new ministry [named] The Nursing Home Quartet. It’s called that because that’s primarily what we do. We minister to nursing homes. I hope that’s going to be going on for a while.
Q: What difference has Christ made in your life?
A: All the difference in the world. I don’t know what I would do without Him. He is everything to me.
