From Our Pastor
He was a rebel, a college dropout, a party boy, drank hard liquor, and was well known by all the local police.
By his own admission, he was the classic example of the prodigal son. Today he has succeeded the most respected, most admired American of the Twentieth Century – Billy Graham. His name is Franklin Graham. He is founder of a tremendous benevolent ministry called, “The Samaritan’s Purse.” He will tell you that he is where he is today because he had a father who left the lights on.
God leaves the lights on for YOU.
