jonathan's and april's testimony
Jonathan and April both had the tremendous privilege to be born and raised in Christ-centered homes. At 8-years-old, they each knew they were sinners and did not want to be separated from God. Jonathan’s family would gather around the television to watch Billy Graham Crusades every time they were aired. Yet it wasn’t until the 28 January 1978 that he gave his heart and life to Jesus Christ following a Billy Graham Crusade television program. April’s family was at church every time the doors were open. It was at a revival in the fall of 1981 when she recognized her need for a Savior. They each heard that God loved them and wanted a personal relationship with them. Yet because of sin in their lives, they were separated from a Holy God and their relationship with Him was broken. It was then they confessed their sins, asked Jesus to forgive them and by Faith asked Jesus to come into their heart and life. Praise God! HE did!
​
In November of 1981 and August of 1982 April and Jonathan followed the Lord’s command to be baptized symbolizing their inward conversion and publicly identifying their life with Jesus Christ.
​
Since then God is continuing to transcribe His Story on the tablet of their hearts. It is a joy to know Jesus and make Him known!
