Next Door to Truth, Led by Grace

He grew up in Yuma, Arizona—right next door to an Apostolic church. He knew the families, saw the children playing, but never stepped inside. Life took him a different way: a childhood marked by loss, a Navy career that carried him across the country, and years of drifting with friends and nightlife. Yet even in those wandering years, God’s hand was guiding him.

One day, after praying a simple prayer—“Lord, if this is the truth, show me”—an unexpected visitor arrived: his cousin, newly converted, sent by God to confirm everything he had asked. It was no coincidence. It was the answer.

In this moving testimony, you’ll hear how God used a backslidden friend, a faithful mother, and a praying cousin to lead him from Catholic tradition into Apostolic truth. You’ll also discover how that decision shaped his marriage, his children, his career, and his walk with God for more than three decades.

This is the story of a man who lived next door to truth, until grace led him in.
