NEW LIFE
A New Life in Jesus
After the death of a friend and business partner, Gary's life began to change.
"I went to his funeral and I believe God said to me, 'You'll be next if you don't change.' I was walking around for four months after, completely stoned and kept hearing this voice in my head. I was walking up and down Music Row, and there was a little Christian bookstore and a church there. It said 'Church Of Christ' on it. Don Pinto was an incredible pastor. Michael W Smith and Amy Grant went there, Amy was about 15 or 16. So I went to the church, drunk out of my mind. They said I ought to come back. So I did the next week and Rev Pinto said, 'You need to get saved. . . saved from yourself.' So I went down the front, got saved and baptised and that was the last time that I ever touched drugs or alcohol. What was weird about that was my body went into shock and I had to go into the hospital."
Any Christian will tell you that coming to Jesus doesn't make you perfect, but the change in Gary's life was real and he began to make music for Jesus!
