This week program is a time to visit with Craig and Louise Johnson and look back on how this couple made a pact when they got married to never talk about Jesus Christ. Because of outdoor ministry, however, Craig was exposed to a number of Christians and eventually had Gerry’s book Hunting Blunders and The One That Got Away! dropped into his lap, so to speak. Coming to receive Christ created quite a tense situation in their home, but with time not only did Louise come to Christ, but a number of others as well and Craig today is in full-time ministry sharing the Gospel in many formats.
