Testimony of Hildebrand Lee:
When I was about seven-years-old, my father walked out on me. Growing up I felt alone. I used to look at other people that had fathers and become jealous because mine had left. My elementary school years were very hard for me. During parent teacher night, most of the other children had their parents with them, but I only had my mother. Since my mother was the only provider for me, I had to go without a lot of things. I had to watch everyone else wear stylish clothes and shoes while I wore store brand clothes. I was made fun of a lot, but I tried never to let it bother, though it did anyway. As I neared about fourteen, I began going to a church called Abundant Life. There, I met a youth pastor named Hildebrand "Butch" Lee. As soon I as started coming to the youth services Pastor Butch immediately welcomed me. It was the first time that I didn't feel so set apart and alone. I told Pastor Butch all the trouble I had been having growing up, and he was able to empathize with me. He told me of his parents divorcing and how he had felt the same way I did. He assured me that how I was feeling was normal and that he would always be there for me. Pastor Butch even decided to take over the role of my father in my life. Now, anytime I need advice, a hug, or even money, Pastor Butch is right there. He came to me at a time when I needed him the most, and he made me feel better about myself. Pastor Butch cured all the pain and fiery indentations I had within my heart because of my real father's departure. I view this extraordinary man as my hero because he saved my heart. Thank you: Hildebrand Lee
