In this series of posts we interviewed members of KingsWay that have been attending since the church was planted in 1989.

Our family, along with about 40 people from a small church in Keyser, WV, attended Celebration ’88 where we met Gene Emerson. Our experience at Celebration 
convinced us that we absolutely must be part of a People of Destiny church. (to become SGM). We’ve had the privilege of watching our children grow up in the church. We got to see our daughter enter into a relationship with and marry a young man who also grew up in the church, and now we delight in their cute little red-haired son, who is our grandson – unbelievable! [to read Daniel and Heather’s story, click here.] Before joining KingsWay, we felt like we were wandering. 
I remember that first Celebration. Looking at the folks in the SG churches was like peering through the window of a candy shop! We had only gotten a taste, but wanted more! Now, after 20 years, we are grateful for the foundation of truth we have received and for the deep relationships we have benefited from. The memory most dear to my heart, is when I was expecting Stephanie, after having suffered several miscarriages. My pregnancy was very risky, and I had to be on bed rest the majority of it. The church rallied. We NEVER had a need. My floors were mopped, meals were brought, and friends sat by my side, praying this child. When Stephanie was born, I remember folks saying, she (Stephanie) belongs to all of us!!! So many played a part in her safe arrival. That is the church.
