Danny, originally from Toledo, Ohio, moved to Georgia in 1997 due to a new employment opportunity.  Several months after having moved to South Georgia, he and Carole met.  Carole felt led to attend a church in another town (an hours drive away) one Sunday night.  This was not characteristic since she didn't particularly enjoy going to unfamiliar places alone.  However, she was obedient to go where whe was being led.  After the church service, a young man (Danny) came up to welcome her to the church.  After chatting a couple of seconds, they both left.  Two days later, they bumped into each other again at a restaurant.  It was here that a friend with whom Carole was having lunch offered their phone numbers to Danny (very uncharacteristic) should any interesting church activities arise.  Danny called Carole a day or so later and invited them to his home for an intercessory prayer meeting.  This was the beginning of an awesome friendship.  While cultivating their friendship, Danny and Carole sought the Lord concerning His will for their relationship.  They were certain that their relationship was orchestrated by Him ... and that He had a special purpose for it.  A few months later, they were married.  God was the foundation upon which their relationship was founded ... and remains the center today.  Their heart is to see others experience and grow in intimacy with Father (Yahveh) through Jesus Christ (Yeshua) and be equipped for ministry so that they can fulfill their God-given destiny. 

Our little ones are gifts from God.  Carole was told by two doctors that she probably wouldn't be able to have children -- at least not without medical intervention.  However, that wasn't Father's plan.  He blessed us with Joshua David (October 2000) and Anna-Beth (January 2003).  These little ones are truly a testimony of how awesome our God is! 

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23).

Every one of us has missed God's mark.  Every one of us falls short of being perfect.  Everyone that has ever lived, except Jesus, has sinned. 

The wages of sin is death (Hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, (Romans 6:23).

We all have one thing in common:  we will one day die.  We were created to live here on this Earth for a short time, but our spirit will live forever.  Do you know where you'll spend eternity?  When we die, we will stand before God.  If we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, He will welcome us to spend eternity with Him.  If we have rejected Jesus Christ, we will have no choice but to depart from Him and spend eternity in Hell.  We get what we deserve.  Neither God nor anything else sends us to Hell.  We send ourselves there by rejecting His truth.  We do not deserve the gift of salvtion.  It is God's free gift to us. 

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, (Romans 10:9).

God makes it so easy for us!  He knew that we would never be able to pay for our sins and gave His own Son to do just that. All we have to do is acknowledge that we are a sinner and accept the promise that Jesus is the solution.  We really have nothing to lose ... except our worries, guilt and fear.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved, (Romans 3:16-17).

God loves us so much and desires that we spend eternity with Him in heaven.  He makes this possible through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Because Jesus Christ has already paid the price for our sins, all we have to do is confess Jesus Christ as Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead.  Are you ready to receive this free gift that God has made possible for us?  Do you believe in Jesus? 

Jesus said, And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever -- the spirit of truth ... for He dwells with you and will be in you, (John 14:16-17).

God loves us so incredibly much!  Not only did He sacrifice His only Son for us so that we could be forgiven of our sins and spend eternity with Him, He sends His Holy Spirit to live in us ... to help us live victoriously, to help us make right decisions, and to empower us to fulfill His good plans for our life!

If you are sincere and are ready to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, pray this prayer out loud.  After praying, tell someone of this awesome new relationship with your Heavenly Father and His Son and His Holy Spirit!

Dear God, I come to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.  I admit that I am a sinner.  Have mercy on me.  I'm not proud of my sins and confess them to you.  I ask you to forgive me of my sins and cleanse me of all unrighteousness.  Thank you, Jesus,  for dying on the cross for me and rising from the dead.  I surrender my life to you.  Make me the person that You want me to be.  Thank you for filling me with your Holy Spirit and empowering me to live for you.  In Jesus name, Amen.
