February 2, 2009 will be a day that we will never forget. Our daughter Elizabeth (Dolly) had been reading some stories with Jennifer during school that morning about some heroes of the faith. As a result she began to ask if a person who thought they were saved before, went to church all the time, prayed, tried to obey, but didn’t really feel it in their heart could still need to be saved? Shortly after, she came to the home “office” and wanted to receive Jesus as her Savior. We talked for some time and she walked through the gospel message for Jennifer and me and indicated that it was time for her to repent and confess her sins, receive by faith the gift of Jesus and salvation, and begin to live a life that reflected the fact that the Holy Spirit lived inside her. We talked, she prayed (like we had never heard her pray before), we cried, and then celebrated the fact that she committed Jesus to be Lord and Savior of her life. These past 4 days we have had a daughter that has had an entirely different attitude towards living her life. What a privilege that God would allow us to be part of this.
In 2007, God called us from a fifteen year history in manufacturing to Life Action Ministries to help support the message of revival. It is our desire and passion to see personal revival transform lives in order that we may become a nationwide community of believers who are loving, Christ-like, and committed, so that Christ’s redemptive purposes can be accomplished in the world.
