True Story

Raymond is one of the longest serving members of our fellowship, since 1958 in fact. He is a Blackburn lad by birth and was privileged to have been brought up in a Christ-centred family with a father who was a local preacher. Nevertheless, he needed to know Christ for himself..

As time went on his life became less centred on church activities and more on it’s head, Jesus Christ as shown by him joining a prayer group of young people when he was in his early teens. Raymond is unable to put his finger on a point in time when he was converted but it was definitely before 1942 because it was in that year at the age of 16 years that he made a public declaration of having received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour by being baptised.

Even though Raymond has spent so many years in the Lord’s presence and with his people he would be the first to say that no way is he perfect, in fact a long way short. but nevertheless is thankful that because of God’s grace and love as shown in Jesus Christ he is able to enjoy fellowship with God.

Raymond has not been in the best of health for some time now but acknowledges how the Lord has kept him through the years and shown him much kindness.

 This same Jesus whom Raymond enjoys can and is willing to make his presence felt in your life too. Once you have discovered the truth for yourself, you will never regret it.
