On May 5, 1969 at the age of 19, Chris Johnsen hears the gospel preached for the first time. He listens to a sermon from Isaiah, chapters 1 & 54, and hears an invitation to accept Christ as his savior. After an overwhelming emotional experience, he cries out to the Lord and surrenders his life. The feeling of despair that he felt before, is wonderfully transformed to joy and the assurance that Christ has redeemed his life.
