Out of the archives … remarkable, respected Dr. Bob Werner recalls his experience of, by faith, receiving Jesus into his life … more than 60 years ago! A fellow St. Louis bank employee of young Donna Werner invited her to attend church services. She accepted the offer while, in the first few weeks, husband Bob “slept in.” Within a short time, such a positive change was seen in Donna that, one Sunday morning, Bob got up and announced to Donna that he was going to attend worship with her. He did, heard Pastor Earl Towns preach the Good News from the Bible that Christ had died for our sins, rose from the dead, and would forgive and eventually take to Heaven all who repented of their sins and, by faith, receive the son of God into their lives.
Bob Werner did. That day. The first time he heard the story.
Bob’s colorful ministry led him early on to be involved in the Billy Graham film ministry. In time he would become senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Ferguson, Missouri (near the St. Louis Airport). This led to his warm and clear messages of the Good News being aired weekly on Sunday evening television on secular, independent Channel 11 in St. Louis, receiving high ratings for those years.
And so, for more than 60 years, Pastor Werner – still preaching in his retirement – has been faithful to the Jesus who saved him, and led him into a great and productive life, and Who will at death take him to Heaven!
Hear Dr. Bob summarize his life changing story … in his own words.
