HOW DID YOU GET INTO A MORMON OUTREACH MINISTRY?
I grew up in Southern California. When I was a kid, some Mormon missionaries came to the door of our house, and my mom spoke with them briefly. I was fascinated by them and after they left, I asked my mom about the difference between our beliefs as Christians and the Mormons. She explained that Mormons believed you could get into heaven through your own good work. After hearing this, I raced out the door. I wanted to tell those guys that it wasn’t true—that it was our faith in Christ alone that saves us.

The reality of my circumstances hit home one day when I received a package of Extra Care gum in the mail from a friend. She wrote ‘I don’t know what to say but wanted you to know how much I care.’ And that summed it up. No one knew what to do with me. My loss was so complete and devastating that even the folks who normally could comfort me with Scripture or encouraging words didn’t even know what to say.”
