FACING YOUR GIANTS

Richard Coss, an ordained Southern Baptist Minister, has quiet a story to tell. Richard grew up in Minnesota and was in a detention center by the age of nine. By age twelve, he was in the state reformatory. Between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, he was confined in city jails, county jails, county prison farms and prison. He was filled with anger, violence and hatred towards society. What counselors, psychologists and prison could not accomplish in Richard's life, Jesus Christ did. On March 16, 1969, Richard gave his life to Christ. Richard lost two grand-babies in the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. through all the trials, heartaches, and tribulations that Richard has experienced, God has molded him into a faithful and dedicated servant. when we know Christ, the impossible becomes possible. We receive comfort and strength for times as needed, just as Richard did when he lost his two precious grand-babies. whatever your heartaches or tribulations, there is a God with whom you will find peace and comfort, strength and hope. Each of us has a story to tell. those who know Christ have the blessed assurance of knowing there is victory through Christ! Praise His holy Name!
