22. Lake Samm Testimony You did a series late ’08 that addressed tongues, living by the spirit, etc. Many of the new people that come to Lake Samm come from Evangelical/Fundamental churches or have no church background whatsoever. I believe many if not all of these would have “run for the hills” if you went into the gifts without having laid the proper foundations. I for one would have definitely been in that camp. I am no longer in that camp and now pray that others make this transition. The “growth” we’ve experienced has been phenomenal over the past year. You should also know that early in her walk my wife was “pressured” to use the “gifts” by another group which took her years to overcome.
