Evangelist Bob Holmes Testimony

I was saved at the age of 15 at a Christian camp. I never dreamed that I could go to heaven and know it, until someone told me. My testimony is that I am glad I was saved at an early age before getting involved in drugs and alcohol. Many schools have said that they will not bring in people to speak who were formerly involved in drugs, jail, alcohol, or gangs. Only by God's mercies am I able to go to all these schools. I found out that Jesus Christ could save me apart from my own works.

1 John 5:13

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

After I received Christ as my Saviour I went to Bible College at Tennessee Temple University.

The Lord called me to be an Evangelist in Bible College. I graduated in 1978 and traveled in full time evangelism in local churches for 6 years before I ever started playing volleyball. I was praying for a way to reach out to more lost people than were coming into the church services.

I developed back pain and never dreamed that playing a guy in the back yard to get in shape and playing church people after the services on an entire team would lead to being in 5,000 schools in front of 3 million people. God used the affliction of back pain to lead me in a new direction and be able to help millions of youth throug the Beat the Odds School Assemblies.

I met my wife Donna at a revival meeting and we were married in 1980. We now have three beautiful girls, Christina 23, Sarah 21, and Michaela 5.These are my true pride and joy. My family faithfully serves as members of Calvary Baptist Church in Plymouth NH where Bro. Richard Anderson is our pastor.
