Q: How did you come to know the Lord?
A: I just knew I needed to be saved and was … at a revival at my church.
Q: How have you been involved in church through the years?
A: I have been teaching Sunday School for many years. I love my Sunday School class. I have one little boy who will help me from the second to first floor every Sunday. … I was also secretary and treasurer of the church many years ago. I was always there if there was anything I could do.
Q: What have you gotten from those ministries?
A: It’s a peace of mind to think that you are trying to do what the Lord wants you to do. I think He wants us to work for Him.

Q: How do you see yourself involved in church in the future?
A: I feel like the Lord expects me to work and to know about His work. I will continue to teach Sunday School for as long as I live.
Q: What difference has being a Christian made in your life?
A: I don’t know how people can live without being a Christian. I love the Lord with all my heart, and I love my Christian children.
