This man shaped who I became. He was truly a man of God. I have never met someone so humble, filled with the Spirit, and cared so much for his community. My mother had severe anxiety due to a life event. She always had to sit in the back because she could not be around a lot of people. She would have panic attacks, but I’m telling you, she was sitting in the back of Glendale every time the doors were open. I always went with her. I always loved going to Glendale. When I was 11, I was sitting in the back with my mother and I started sweating and crying while listening to Bro. Richard’s sermon. I look at my mom and said, “I don’t feel good.” She pulls my head next to her heart and says, “listen, God is speaking to you.” I opened my heart and listened. I felt convicted to go talk to Bro. Richard. So, after the service, I tell my mom I need to talk to him. She walked me down front and we talked to Bro. Richard for an hour or so. As soon as we got done, my sweats and eyes dried right up. Listen to Jesus when He is speaking to you. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
