SM: I truly feel that we believed we were proving God because He said, “Give, and it shall be given unto you.” And we had a need and I just, Richard really built my faith in that area. And I just felt that god would come through.
LM: People that aren’t using this Seed-Faith in their lives, I really do feel that they are being robbed of a blessing. I know I am. And like I said, I had never used it before and now that I’ve been acquainted with it through the program, there’s just noother way to go.
SM: And so I just thank the Lord that He answered and encouraged us. And so we support Richard Roberts and not just because it’s
Richard Roberts. I really feel that they’re doing something for the Lord, the whole ministry. I love Lindsay. I feel like they touch lives and they really care. You know, Oral, all of them really care. It’s not just organization or something. I really feel–when we receive his letters, it’s the need that we havethat month when he writes the letters, just like he knows what we need. Of course I know it’s the Lord speaking to him.
RR: Here’s a song that just suits that testimony. (Singing “I Started Living When I Started Giving to God”) (Applause) Praise the Lord. Stay tuned for Wayman Tisdale. COF SPOT (Applause)
RR: Well, I’ve been waiting for today. I’ve been waiting to introduce a very tall young man, a product of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was all-American at the University of Oklahoma in basketball and now playing in the NBA. In fact, he just came back from mini-camp, getting ready for the fall season for the Indiana Pacers. I want you to join me in welcoming Wayman Tisdale. Wayman, God bless you. Welcome. (Applause) Wayman, now I know you were born in Texas. Then your father moved up here. Your whole family moved up here because your father was called to be a pastor. He pastors right here in Tulsa. But I understand that when you were very young you had no desire to play basketball at all. Is that true?
WT: Very true. I started, my brothers, my older brothers were playing and I’d always be the kid that would play with my friends over in the sandbox, play on the swings. I’d stay away from the basketball court because I couldn’t dribble the ball. And with my brothers being a little bit older than me, they were already introduced to basketball and they were already pretty much established on teams and everything.
