Very recently I discovered this info about Neal Windham.
I grew up with Neal and his two brothers. They were outstanding young men. Neal’s parents treated me as if I were one of their own. Neal’s eldest brother, John Andrew is the single one person responsible for me attending church and becoming a Christian. The Windham family was outstanding in living their faith and blessing many. I hold Neal Windham in the highest regard. He has all my respect.

Thanks for a great interview and thank God for such a humble and gentle man. I remember he came into Greek class about 15 minutes late one day and we were giving him a hard time. He had a pretty good excuse, he lost track of time while he was praying. It was good to hear his voice and the passion he has for Jesus.
Thanks again,
