My name is Dan Louise I was born flat-footed for the first two years of my life
I had to wear orthopedic shoes with that came a lot of medical issues with my legs at the time
it was very difficult for my parents to be able to provide for the medical attention that was needed
so that's how my parents got introduced to a church to a an actual healing service
was was the first time that they went to a church they brought me up and they God actually healed me
and put curvature in my feet the very first time my parents went to a church and they gave their
life to Christ after that miracle to the point where God used them to be pastors and throughout
my whole childhood they they were pastors I grew up in in church I grew up in music by the age of
five God was using me in in ministry in music ministry by the age of 16 my parents actually
divorced this situation in my life at that time it was really devastating for me when this happened
being a pastor's kid never thought that something like this could happen to my family when my
parents divorced this opened the door to anger it opened doors to different addictions in my life
I turned to gangs turned to drugs turned to a life of violence and I rejected church I rejected God
At that time being that young I didn't think it was fair that stuff like that was happening to me
to the point that I was not able to develop relationships
I couldn't keep a job I was always in debt
My addictions went as far as me having to sell my kids stuff to provide for my addictions
it had a grip on my life to the point where I almost lost my life I
lost jobs relationships so for about seven years of my life living
that way after a couple dui's I found myself at the lowest point in my life
I knew God was always there was always bailing me out and and even though I saw Him working
in my life when I wasn't involved in church in the back of my mind I knew I knew that God was
the only way but addictions anger was just blocking my emotions was blocking everything
desire any desire that I had to to want to
come back after my second dui I found myself in the lowest point of my life
I was going to lose my wife my kids and I told God that I wanted I wanted another chance
to rededicate my life to to let him take control again of of my situation and
I rededicated my life and and now it's it's God has truly been amazing he has opened doors he has
given me a new name new destiny in life God is using me here at hunger generation and in
music He has restored my marriage He has blessed me with a home
He's blessed me with business God has opened the doors to me like they've never been opened
before and maybe you find yourself in the same situation that I was in confused
addicted with depression maybe you're not amounting to anything you don't feel like there's
a purpose in life I would like to invite you to make the same decision that I made that
changed my life if you would like to give your life to Christ say this prayer with me
dear God I thank you for this opportunity that you're giving me today
I give you my life I invite you into my heart and to my mind
I want you to restore my mind take control of my situation write my name in the book
of life and I gave you my heart I give you my life in Jesus Name, I pray Amen.
