I met Erskin Holt in 1985. I was around 20years old and was going to John D. Reese´s church. Erskin profisied over me to be an Evangel of the Lord. It´s 2025 and now I am 60. I am still struggling to come to terms with this. I accept it and I am grateful for God to use Erskin over me. I love the Lord with all my heart and soul and I strive yet to share Jesus. I just have to start. Your father is Blessed of God, and I am thankful and great full with humbleness

I'm over 70 years old now in 2024, but was very blessed to know Erskine back when I was 17+. He headed the house church my family and I joined and was a truly great man. A great Christian leader and teacher. I've known and forgotten many people since then but will never forget him.
