Like many people of my generation, I grew up in a churchgoing family. I knew who God was and all the Bible stories, but I didn’t have an intimate relationship with him. I prayed to God expecting he would make me into a person who would do great things for the entire world to see. For nearly 30 years I wandered through this world and my life waiting for God to make me that person. I was a success on the outside but spiritually empty on the inside.

Then in the summer of 2005 my wife brought me to Every Nation Church of Indianapolis and for the first time in my life I saw people who knew God intimately. I was uncomfortable at first; I hadn’t been that close to true believers before. It made me nervous, but I knew I wanted to have the deep abiding faith they had.

After three weeks, I was hooked.  I couldn’t wait for Sunday, to read my Bible and to talk with other believers.  I wanted to know God intimately.  I wanted to talk to God personally.  But, mostly I wanted to hear God’s voice like others have. With the help of many in the church I have done all of this and more. I know God has had a plan for my life all along and those 30 years of wandering were to prepare me for the ministry God is calling me for.

You are never too old and it is never too late to experience God’s love and how it can impact your life. I pray all who read this would discover his love and get to know him as I have.
