Today I visited my pastor Norman Moss and his wife Margaret on the 40th anniversary of my conversion to Christianity. On 14th April 1985 I was in the fourth row from the front during the worship service at Queens Road Church, Wimbledon. Norman was leading the service, and unusually he allowed a personal prophecy from a woman standing to my left. She said that she had a message from God and that she knew who it was for. As soon as she started speaking, I knew it was me. Well it was obvious because she described me physically, but more importantly she started naming various details that I felt she could not possibly have known about me. It was so obviously me that my friends next to me were pointing to me and jabbing me saying “it’s you”. It was all about how God was calling this young man to live his life for God “but the world would seem to pull you away”. At the end of this extraordinary message, she pointed at me and said “it’s you!” This of course put me on the spot, but Norman dealt with the strange public nature of it very sensitively. The background being that over the previous 9 months I had reached a point where I was intellectually persuaded that Christianity was true, but that said, up to this point, I’d done nothing about it, other than that I’d started to attend church, something I never thought I would ever want to do. I gave my life to Christ 40 years ago today, and as I cycled home along Worple Road to my home in Raynes Park on my drop handlebars Raleigh Arena I shouted “yes” to God and no-one else in particular. I punched the air. It was about 1am by this point. I woke my parents up and told them: “Guess what? I’ve become a Christian!” They looked suitably bemused and didn’t really know what to make of this night time disturbance. But the following day at school I started telling people. I was absolutely buzzing because I knew that God’s love was real and that Jesus was alive. So I owe a huge debt to this couple, who were used by God to change my life. Norman and Margaret have been a tremendous steadying influence on me ever since and it was wonderful to see them again. They are now part of One Church Emsworth. Norman is 93 and Margaret is 90. My prayer is that I would be as fervent in faith and passion for Jesus as they are today. What an example and what a legacy. Norman and Margaret have such a great marriage and just hearing Norman pray this afternoon made all the memories start flooding back. I am hugely blessed to have been pastored by this couple. Truly grateful to God and to them!
