I’m a convert to the Church. When I first started attending the little R.L.D.S. branch at Blackgum, Oklahoma, I didn’t join overnight. I studied it out for two and a half years. I read the Book of Mormon. Its testimony of Jesus Christ convinced me that God was bigger than the Bible and Bible lands. He had a plan for the whole world and a specific mission for this Church. That mission is to build the literal Kingdom of God on the earth, even Zion.

I became convinced that God wanted me to be a part of that mission. In 1977, I joined the Church. Soon great upheavals came along in my mother church. The church no longer pursued her mission and changed her doctrine. I, like many, separated myself from that strange and different church; not suddenly, but with much prayer, fasting and study.

We met as independent restorationists with a group in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. In 1994 we gathered to the Center Place and observed with great interest the beginnings of the Remnant Church. Again this didn’t happen overnight, it took a few years for me to check out the pattern. When I was sure and had studied it out for myself, I chose to fellowship with the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is the same Church that I had joined in 1977. It teaches the doctrine of the kingdom, which is the doctrine of Christ. I’m very exited about the start of an actual community, where the saints can live side by side and grow in Spirit, into the people of God.

I thank God daily for the privilege to be here in the land of Zion, at this great time. I thank God for the gift of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I desire to share this gift with everyone I meet.

I invite each and everyone to check it out for yourself. I’m convinced that the Holy Spirit of God will witness to you, as it did to me, that this is His Church, restored for the last time to accomplish His mission.

Your fellow laborer for Zion,
