By seeing potential in me, when I was a young farmer in Arkansas, he opened up a whole new world for me of planting seeds of the gospel instead of seeds of rice and soybeans. He encouraged me to attend school to become a preacher, to give my life to preaching, and made it possible for me to fulfill my lifelong dream of teaching at a school that trains preachers. How many other lives has he touched in this way? J. J., and his sweet wife Isabelle live in McDonough, Georgia where he serves as pulpit preacher as well as one of the elders of that vibrant congregation. They have two children and four grandchildren.
