God's Great Outdoors Ken & Judy Gingrich

December 2, 2013
This week’s program is an interview with Ken and Judy Gingrich about Ken’s new book “The Ultimate Choice”. Gerry met Ken and Judy at the annual 9-day outdoor show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where Gerry was given a tract about Ken, his life and coming to Christ, called “The Ultimate Choice”. The story talks about a young man who rebelled against his conservative Christian upbringing and eventually became involved with motorcycle groups, like Hell’s Angels and The Sons of Satan. At a point when things were going terribly bad in their marriage, in young life, Judy told Ken he had to decide between their family and his friends.

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.
