My number is 33 - DYEREK HARRIS.

During my spiritual journey I attended church when life got hard, on special occasions, and when visiting home from the military but at 33 something changed. I was attending church faithfully—both early Sunday morning service and the 11 o’clock service—and eventually began attending Sunday School as well. There was an unexplainable yearning in my heart—a deep desire to be saved.

At the time, I didn’t fully understand what it meant to be saved, nor do I remember anyone clearly explaining it to me. Yet for several weeks, during my 70-minute one-way commute to work in Gardner, KS, I found myself crying out to God, asking Him to be saved. During those drives, I regularly listened to BOTT Radio Network. One afternoon on my drive to work, an evangelist—I can’t recall his name—shared what is known as the Romans Road to Salvation. He walked through Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8–9, and concluded with Romans 10:9–10.
