Personal Testimony I was saved after returning home Vietnam under the ministry of Dr. Ray Sadler in a revival in 1970; I repented of my sins and cried out to God for salvation . I met my wife, and she was the person who got me in church in September of 1970. God called me to preach in 1973. David and Susan have been married for 52 years.

What has it meant to be a part of AGM? The first time I went to a fair ministry was the Lee County Fair in Florida where retired Pastor Fred Willis trained me. I knew that night this was a great ministry to win souls. What a glorious night that was as many souls were saved. I had met brother James Gardner (AGM Founder) in 1983 a the Indiana State Fair.
