“Undecided”, Dewey King

Going through high school, I didn't have much of a desire to pursue any particular career. I lacked the confidence to pursue a career in science, so I drifted into political science in college--thinking I could at least get through that if I spent all my time studying.

After three months in law school, feeling very insecure, I dropped out and went to a Methodist seminary where my search for meaning in life took a down turn.

While at seminary, I met an undergraduate student who saw my plight. He began to share the Lord with me and invited me to spend the summer of 1967 at his home in Louisville, Kentucky. There, I did receive the Lord and later asked the Lord for direction.

It was then that I was drafted into the Army. After the Army, I spent a year in Bible school and another year on a gospel team. At that point the Lord brought me to the local church in Santa Cruz, California, in August of 1971.

I was solidly in the local church in California and Washington D.C. until August of 1976. Then, I left the church life for 19½ years, trying to cope with all kinds of problems--without much success. For those 19 ½ years, my mother and father took complete care of me; and it was through their steadfast and deep love that I was given a chance of returning to the Lord. Even now, it is only through my parents and my sister that I have been given the practical means to go on with the Lord.

Now, since January of 1996, I am very slowly and gradually growing in the Lord through the prayers, fellowship, and supply of the dear brothers and sisters in Pittsburgh and Morgantown.
