I received the Holy Ghost on December 13, 1978 at 9:15 PM EST in my
car in the church parking lot.  I became engaged in March of 1979, and 
married my wife in August of that year.  The month before the
marriage, we both lost our jobs at different companies.  I found
another job a week before the wedding.  This new job was in the
Bahamas on a Navy base, programming computers for the US Navy.

We flew over there right after the honeymoon.  There was no church.
I worked over there for almost a year before coming back to the states 
to work.  We were only able to come back to the US for a few weekends
during that year.  

We at at the mess hall, and on the walk back to our 1/3 of a single
wide house trailer we called home that year, we passed by the base
chapel.  It was tiny building that might hold 20 or 30 people packed
out, but it had a old piano and an old organ.  We would stop by that
chapel every evening and sing and play songs and worship God together.
There was not another Apostolic person on the base besides ourselves.

God kept us through that year because we took time to worship him
every day.  My wife told me to get behind the pulpit and preach, even
though she was the only other person in the chapel with me.  I was not 
ready to do that yet, but looking back, I see now that God was calling 
me even then to preach.  I am now a minister in the UPC.  God is
good. Gos is faithful.  Worship and pray, and He will keep you too!
