ndani kyema, My Story - Ray Moore 109

I entered the Candidates Board Room to find a long, old-fashioned board table in
front of me. I sat at one end, and it seemed to stretch out for ever in front of me, and
way down the other end were the seven or eight members of the Candidates Board.
Their job was to try and determine whether I had been 'called' into the Baptist
ministry. After a number of questions which I tried to answer clearly and honestly, I
was asked if I had talked to any other people of wisdom about my career options. I
replied that I had, with confusing and contradictory responses. In the end it came
back to my own understanding of God's call.

Anyway, they were satisfied and we were to get married, go on a honeymoon and
then we would be assigned to the Rainbow Baptist Church to start as soon as we
returned.

So began a whole new era in my life - family man and pastor.
