In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 it tells us to: Pray without ceasing. Today I would like to give a testimony to my Grandmother, Roberta (Bertie) Linton who practiced this Godly admonition as close as anybody I know of. Following are the many results that I believe came about from Grandma's constant prayers in Southwestern Missouri, a place that is called "The Ozarks".
1) My mother and father got born again when they got married in 1922 and all of Grandma's 10 children eventually came to the Lord.
2) My Grandad, Charlie Linton, a former bootlegger, got saved just before he died.
3) Grandma's eldest son, my uncle Frank, became a Baptist minister
4) Grandma was the mid-wife for my mother when I was born and I know she must have prayed over me when she delivered me in a back bedroom on our small farm. As a result I came to the Lord at the age of 13.
5) All of my siblings, one brother and four sisters, got born again
6) Revival came to Southwestern Missouri, at first with a small ministry called "Little Shepherd of the Hills" which dominated in the 1950's (Prosperity also came to the area with Branson now equaling Nashville as the country music center of America)
