It is the joy of my heart to tell what God has done for me. I was born and reared in Norway where the Word of God was taught to me.
One day my mother came home to tell me she had been to a Christian meeting, and had been born again—saved. She was true to God. She told me I had to be born again, too, but I went my own sinful way for many years.
Finally, one night in San Francisco, California, I walked up Market Street and saw a large sign that read, “Jesus, the Light of the World.” Everything came back to me that my mother told me. I had to seek God.
I thank God for the night I came and I sat down among those Christian people! They looked so happy! Most of all, they had that wonderful spirit like my faithful mother had back in Norway. I had never heard such preaching in my life. My load of sin was heavy. I knew I should be saved. After the meeting, someone took me by the arm and ask: “Don’t you want to pray, brother?” I ran up to the altar and God saved my soul!
I had been bound by drinking, dancing, and all those things—even cigarettes had me, but when God saved me He took it all out.
I want to tell others about the Gospel! There are others who have troubled hearts like I did. I am glad to tell them it is wonderful to serve God.
