STATEMENT OF CONVERSION: I was saved October 29, 1956, at 9:30 P.M. in Sunday night service of the Trinity Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Bob Gray was doing the preaching. Words cannot express the gratitude in my heart for God’s amazing grace. He truly saved me that day.

CALL TO THE MINISTRY: A few weeks after my salvation I preached at a rest home in downtown Jacksonville. Two nurses were saved. Upon arrival back to my bunk at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, I knelt on my knees and gave my life for full-time Christian service. I felt the call during the first missionary conference at the Trinity Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida.
