One year ago if you had told me that I would be in River Bible Institute, I would have wondered what you had been smoking, but here I am. My wife and I watched “The Great Awakening” many nights over the last year and decided to stop on our way to south Florida where we have spent our winters since 1992. We came to the winter camp meeting where we spent 7 wonderful spirit filled days and nights.

We are still here.

We have known of The River Church for many years for we see it every time we go home to Michigan when we travel on I75 north bound. I saw Pastor Rodney on TV when he was at ORU and the memory of what he did burned permanently in to my memory.

My wife was moved to go to the altar and from there she ended up in the River Bible Institute room and before she knew it she had enrolled us in the River Bible Institute. You must understand she was being led by God. After being told this I said “you did what?” But the more I thought about it the more God worked on me and the more I liked the idea.

Staying here would mean no fishing (for fish) I thought.  But now I get to do fishing for God’s lost children and there are many more opportunities and wonderful teachers to hone your skills. The feeling you get when you see a lost child of God accept Christ is indescribable and there is no limit to the number you can catch. We also have the best bait; Gods Salvation, the Holy Ghost, peace of mind and the Love of Jesus
