"Early on while still in Bible School I made a feeble, flimsy, fumbling attempt to preach to the lost at Victory Servicemen’s Center in Long Beach, California. I knew I had failed miserably … and it was true. But that night 30 sailor boys knelt and wept through to salvation. That night changed my life … for suddenly I realized that even when the messenger’s delivery is a total failure, the message itself remains powerful to save."
