LIFE TESTIMONY:

In the spring of 1977, my wife began to watch a television program entitled "Good News" sponsored by the Greater Charleston Chapter of FGBMFI. She insisted that I watch the show that eventually resulting in me attend a FGBMFI breakfast in West Ashley section of Charleston.

In November of 1977, the Charleston chapter had an men's advance at Camp Saint Christopher located on Seabrook Island. I was to discover that Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International men never retreat but they always "advance" for Jesus. I was looking forward to this weekend on front beach along the Atlantic Ocean. I knew it would give me the chance to question these men more about their beliefs. My intellect still stood between me and God.
At the advance I met Doyle Haden, a scientist who working with
satellites on navy ship systems. Doyle began to share with me about his past involvement with the occult. Under God's anointing, Doyle began to open the Scriptures to me. I was impressed by his deep biblical understanding but even more astounded to learn how completely I had been deceived by the counterfeit gifts of the demonic world.
Toward the end of the weekend on November 5, a water baptismal service was being done in the Atlantic Ocean. Doyle and I had been watching, and as I looked toward the water, Jim Barton, the president of the Charleston chapter beckoned me to come into the ocean. Deep within me a voice rose up saying “GO!!!! GO!!!!! GO!!!!!!” that pulled me toward the water. Jim looked at me and asked “Clark, what do you want God to do for you?"
"I want everything God has for me. I want everything, Jim, everything!"
Then he led me in the sinner's prayer and I received my salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. "Now," Jim asked, “do you want to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the privilege of speaking in tongues?”
Again I said, “Yes, Jim, I want it all." So the men laid hands on me and prayed. Under the awesome power of God my hands and arms shot toward heaven as a feeling like a million volts of electricity surged from my head to the tip of my toes . I began to praise the Lord in a heavenly language. The men then prayed as Jim submerged me in the cold Atlantic Ocean that November afternoon. Buried beneath the baptismal waters, I felt a wave like millions of miniature sponges that washed all of the sins out of each body cell. Cleansed and filled by the Spirit of God, I knew I was a new creature in Jesus Christ (II Corinthians 5:17).

I was deceived when I first had my encounter with the spirit world because I was ignorant of God's Word. I was unable to discern the source of spiritual powers that I experienced and saw while in the occult. I now know that there is only one Source of eternal life, and that is Lord Jesus Christ. His nature and work are revealed in the bible the living word of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because in His mercy and grace God saved us from the tragedy of being eternally lost, I now serve Him with our whole heart.
