Keith trusted in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in the fall of 1997.  Keith says "Several verses that are always part of my testimony are Eph 2:8-10: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;  not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.' and 2 Timothy 3:16-17:  'All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.' "  Keith is involved in several OBC ministries including heading up the Sound and Video ministry.
