Lipscomb Preacher Transforms From Killer to Mountain Gate Pastor
A former 240 pound Marine tells of his turn from brutal fighting to faith in Christ. John Lipscomb now leads Mountain Gate Community Church in California after a conversion sparked by a Bible reading at a Jackson Mississippi home. He describes his past, road to faith, and the unlikely repurposing of a Buffalo Bar and Grill into a church.
