rented land. By the time he was 28,
he had acquired over 3000 rented
acres of prime farm land in the Rio
Grande Valley. He was 'successful'
measured by the world's standards,
but by God's standards he was 'lost'.
It was at this point that he
experienced a dramatic personal
encounter with Jesus Christ...an
encounter which resulted in a total
change in lifestyle."
Ouellette added, "Almost
immediately he sensed God's call to
the ministry, and after one year let
go of all the rented land to give
himself totally to that call."
