I was there in that room in the summer of 2007 at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs. I was 17 years old, on my face weeping before the Lord as his presence just rested upon us. These moments in his presence mark us, forever. He was so close to us in that meeting. There were a few moments when the congregation would spontaneously begin singing all in the same key. You could hear several part harmonies around you. These moments, a little bit of Heaven does come to earth. And we behold Jesus, in his Glory and his Holiness; and we are forever changed. More and more into his likeness as we worship him in Spirit and in Truth. Terry will always remain deeply special to me in my heart as my relationship with Lord was deeply formed in my teenaged years as I would bring my CD player to school, and listen to his CD’s throughout the day, and just worship the Lord and cry. Thank You Terry for always pointing the Bride to the Bridegroom.
