Testimony: I grew up the son of a pastor and there has never been a time that I have not been in church. The church was always a big part of my life but sadly Christ was not. I played church for the major part of my life. On April 1, 1990 Bethel Baptist Church was having a revival with Dr. Harold Hunter as the Evangelist. Dr. Hunter spoke on sin and hell and described my life. I could not go on any longer playing church. I went to the alter and surrendered my heart and lifestyle to Him. Now my lifestyle is his His lifestyle and I call it “Freestyle”.
