"I grew up in a wonderful church family. It was church on Sunday morning and grace before dinner. But I walked away from that when I was in high school. I had no interest in faith. I thought it was for other people. Then I went off to a little college in southern Indiana and started to attend a Christian fellowship group on the campus. I was invited by some good people... I can't remember why I kept going back. It was Tuesday night. They called it Vespers, in the little chapel on campus. I found myself encouraged when I went there. Along the way, a young man who was a senior in college at the time and now pastors a large church in Indiana... just had taken an interest in me and he was talking to me about faith. And I got to a point where I said to him, 'You know, ... I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and be Christian.' I did. I said that. And he had this cross he wore around his neck. And this was before everybody could order anything on their phones. I said, 'Where did you get that good cross, 'cause I want to go ahead and be Christian now.' And he said, 'Well, I got it in a catalogue.' So I started to bother him. We were in a fraternity together. And I started saying, 'Get me that catalogue. I gotta order that 'cause I'm going to be wearing that now.' I'll never forget the day - this is absolutely true - we were in the cafeteria at the fraternity and I said, 'Hey John, remember to get me that catalogue 'cause I gotta get that...' And he turned and looked at me and said words that to this day he swears that he doesn't remember saying - he looked at me and said, 'You know, you gotta wear it in your heart before you wear it around your neck.' And it hit me, just hit me. I think I stood there for ten minutes 'cause I felt like he just pulled the curtain aside and he looked right at me and just said, 'I see ya, I see ya for where you really are.' A few weeks later I went to what was a great contemporary Christian music festival in Wilmore, Kentucky called Ichthus in 1978. And I heard lots of great singing ..., and I heard lots of wonderful preaching, and Saturday, night sitting in a light rain, I walked down, and not out of anything other than my heart really finally broke with a deep realization that what had happened on the cross had in some infinitesimal way had happened for me, and I gave my life and made a personal decision to trust Jesus Christ as my Savior."
