Eddie Stevens
I have been a husband for over 20 years and father of two great kids. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and at 18, I joined the military. Growing up, I did not know who Jesus Christ was or is. How do I know that my God exists? I know because in 1993, I was sent to Fort Polk, Louisiana, and my job was not on the post, and I had to find one for myself. During that time frame of my life, barriers were broken down. The first barrier was my selfishness; being a part of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Program and having a 12-year old “little brother” helped me to break that down. The second was meeting my future wife; she introduced me to Christ. She was going to church in Leesville, Louisiana, and if I wanted anything to do with this woman, I had to change my ways. Ironically, the Browns and my wife and I probably sat in the same church in 1994 and did not know each other. I was baptized in 1999 at Sierra Vista First Baptist Church in Arizona. I have been attending Journey Community Church in Evans, Georgia for over 10 years and I am on the Core Leadership Team. My journey over the last 20 years has led me closer to Christ. He has given me a strong family, who enjoys serving together. My daughter serves in the children’s ministry on a weekly basis. When I was in the desert preparing to cross over into Iraq in 2003, a couple of months prior to the Iraqi War starting, I learned how important prayer is in guiding me through life. I learned about the power of praying together in numbers in 2007, when I was frustrated with my current job, and I was asked to work on Sundays. I had never been asked to put my God on the back burner. I would have to give up my service in children’s ministry. Through prayer from my small group, a job that I interviewed for three months earlier was offered to me on the first Thursday in May, which is National Prayer Day. That job lead me to become good friends with the Browns. |
