I met Pastor Brasco in February 1974, shortly after giving my life to Jesus in January of that year. I was a freshman at Glassboro State College. I was raised Catholic and never heard that I needed to be born again to see the Kingdom of Heaven. Within the first minutes of meeting pastor, he asked my roommate and I, "Are you fellows born again believers in Jesus?" I loved him immediately, I was longing to find a church that preached the Gospel. Pastor's next remark was, " You are just in time for Sunday School and you will be in Sister Brasco's class." I whispered to my roommate, "Rich, they have nuns!". What a surprise to find "Sister Brasco" wasn't like any nun I had every met! In March'74, Pastor baptized myself, Richard and several other students. There was a Church banquet in honor of we students and we were seated at the head table. I share this so you will get a picture of the love and acceptance I received from Pastor and the entire Church family. I was treated as an honored guest, as if I were a visiting celebrity. Wednesday night Pastor worn jeans and sat on the floor with us for the "College Rap".... He answered any and all questions. There were never any dispariging remarks made, even though some of us didn't own church clothes and on occasion, some may have even been drinking before going to church. Pastor and Sister Brasco always showed me and my fellow students the love of Jesus. I am serving the Lord today because of the testimony and ministry of Pastor Donald and MaryJane Brasco.
