While working for Vought Aircraft Co, I was visiting a supplier in Tel Aviv, Israel last April (2007).  One weekend we had the opportunity to have a personally guided tour of Jerusalem.  It was a small group, just me and two co-workers with a Jewish guide.  To say the experience was life changing is a vast understatement.  Not being a "churchgoer", I've never been into religion and for the most part, my life has been good with no apparent need for a spiritual relationship.  But that day in Jerusalem changed all that.  I actually felt the lords spirit in me as I visited the stations of the cross on the Via Del Rosa as well as the courtyard where Jesus was disrobed and the crown of thorns applied.  I actually felt tears welling up inside of me.  The feeling was so overwhelming, I called my wife and shared the experience with her back in the states.  Upon my return from the trip I purcahsed a bible and other books to help me understand what I was feeling.  Later in the year, I retired from Vought and took a job here in St Charles with another Aerospace company where an associate told me about Drummer Boy.  My wife and I attended the Dec 2007 Drummer Boy service and while it was incredibly moving, it was Pastor Ron's sermon that touched both my wife and I.  I felt like I found home.  My wife also had had feelings that something was missing in her life and she also was moved by the Drummer Boy experience and Pastor Ron's message.  We've been attending Grace weekly ever since.  We both joined Grace officially and got baptized as well and we are serving everywhere we can. I was asked to share this story and I'm glad to do it.
