Q1: Paula Johnson

Q2: Oldham

Q3: Lynchburg, Virginia

Q4: Art Director, Thomas Road Baptist Church

Q5: 35 years of marriage to John Emery Johnson!

Q6: My duaghter, Jamaica, has been married to Terry Conner for ten years. They have our only grandchild, Laura Grace, who is named for my mother and grandmother. Jamaica and Terry are online professors at Liberty University.

My son, John, has not yet married, and is a nurse at the Medical College of Virginia. He is involved in medical missions as well.

Q7: I remember Gordon as a blur! A bundle of energy and movement...bull dog determination and a vision for reaching young people.

Q8: Although I was not an official member of Youth Aflame, I was there during the early years and remember all the "old", original students. It has been a privilege and a joy to follow the lives of these YA kids through the years. So proud of you all!

Q9: Lord have mercy. Where does one begin? Every day has been an adventure, every moment a transformation. The one event most everyone would remember would be the last days of the PTL network...the televangelist wars. John and I lived in Charlotte and worked for Jim and Tammy. We had just come on board after Dad had worked there for three years. In the horrendous days that were to follow the fall of the Bakkers and the leadership of Dr. Jerry there, we saw the almighty Hand of God reach down and put a hedge of protection around our family that to this days sends a shiver down my back. Through that trial we learned to trust the Lord in every situation. He is good! He is great! He is God!

Q10: I am so looking forward to seeing everyone this fall. You will find Lynchburg and Liberty changed...and yet, the same. Our desire is to continue to live out the vision Dr. Jerry gave us in 1971.
