Steve defrane jr.and Donnie

He grow up in Church. His dad pastors morning star Church. Went to SAGU youth pastor in Oklahoma for four years. He did not go to school for ministry until his last year at college at age 21. GRowing up at church did not me any favors. The church people are mean. His parents help protect him. He had to get away from the church to find God get saved and felt his call. He felt like he was called at age 18 in some sort of ministry. He got involved at a church as a janitor and loved church and the church he was at. He was children/ junior high pastor. He really enjoyed it. He did like the traditional church because of the fights with music and dress wear. He also went to life church. Life tv church did everything in excellence. From the way they did kids ministry to the greetings to the signs they made. They lit a fire in him to do church better. His dad ask him to start a young adults service and it went horrible. The tipping point was at Sunday morning in the youth room. He met 25 Mennonite people and they gave him a building and 7 acres of land, so he stayed and renovated the building. In limerick PA he comes from a traditional church and a traditional church gave him their building. A building in a local setting is a blessing. Donnie was a hometown drunk left his wife and baseball coach. God grabbed him and he got saved in Virginia. After getting saved the addictions left him. He did not struggle from that day on. He went to recovery group. A few months later attending Journey got saved and went back to his wife God restored his marriage and he moved her back in in Valentines day from his In laws house. Six months later his wife got saved and baptized. He now is the campus pastor in Phoenixville PA. He does everything os the main pastor can come and he got  has his back. How did he grow? Talked about Jesus. With out the religious talk. His heart changed and behavior. His identity is in Jesus. His testimony lit a fire in the pastor. Only person that is a win is a person who meets Jesus. If you get saved grow serving getting and become a fanatic. That one sinner impresses Jesus. A Church should be a blessing to a community not a burden. Church should not ask for stuff , but bless a Church. Christmas Eve service was done different. Other than a candle light they has Santa playing the organ until start service starts. He has 3 services in Limerick and one in Phoenixville.
