"Because I did not grow up in church and knew of life on the other side of the tracks, I really hurt for people who do not know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. I really do understand the struggles people have in this world, because I lived through them. My hope, prayer and desire is to share the "saving" love of Jesus Christ. Jesus turned my life around and continues blessing me. I want others to share in that blessing, too." My email address is: fsbcpastor1@gmail.com
