Emanuel Elliott

Qualification:

Emanuel Elliott grew up in Port Lavaca, TX and attended St. Joseph Baptist Church, in which my father was the pastor. Bible study in our home was routine, so I learned about the Lord at a young age. Some of the saints said, “You’re going to be like your dad one day.” While serving in the Marine Corps during, “Operation Desert Storm” in Kuwait, I came under fire and retreated for cover. During those moments I said in prayer; “Lord if you get me out of this alive, I’ll serve you.” God heard my cry, and brought me out untouched in the right state of mind and able to retire with 21 years of service. I’ve never forgot that prayer, for it was the turning point in my life. God has shown me my purpose, and that is saving souls. Here I am Lord, use me because I’ve got a made up mind to serve you. It gives me great joy and peace of mind to know that I’m on the battlefield for Him. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
