Praise the Lord for Salvation in Jesus Christ! The Lord added to His flock Sunday evening in the confession of a young man named David Coverdell. David is 18 years old and has attended Bible Baptist Church with his mother all of his life, however, his teenage years have been those of sin and rebellion, moving away from home and seeking his own will...to the point of having to spend several nights in the county jail. But God is still in control of the hearts of men and through the burdened prayers of many, He used these last weeks dealing with David, showing him his sin and his need of a Saviour. In turmoil and despair David cried out to the Lord, and He heard his prayer. After consulting with David, Pastor Moore said of him, "I've never seen a more contrite spirit and broken heart in a person. He (David) felt he didn't even deserve to ask for forgiveness." (Those who belong to the Lord completely understand this.) During David's profession of faith in Jesus Christ, Pastor Moore told us he asked of him, "What if the Lord has for you to be a preacher or missionary in some remote country?" David's response after a moment's contemplation was, "Well, if that's what the Lord has for me, then so be it...wherever and whatever, if it's for the Lord." The Church gladly received his testimony, and David was then baptized.
