“The earliest memory of church in my life… That goes back to Romania. I am from Romania and I grew up in the baptist church there…it goes back to when things were still under communism there. I was a little boy going to church with my parents. Not necessarily secretly…we were allowed to worship, certainly not in the streets or stuff like that but we were allowed to worship. I was born into a family of believers…I learned from my parents about faith. They took me to church. I remember when I was little, sleeping on my mom’s lap. The other members would give me a candy. I liked to sit with my mom…”
