Ted kept his face blank. He'd heard things like
that before. His grandmother used to see him
coming and say, "There's the little preacher!"
He'd always blown o those words coming from
his grandmother. But now, they were a little harder
to dismiss coming from a preacher. One thing Ted
knew for sure: If he ever was to become a pastor,
God would have to do it.
Ted and Jan had already faced a lot of opposition.
They'd married young, while still in their teens.
"They'll never make it," the naysayers said. But Ted
and Jan had never looked back, or questioned their
decision.
There were two things that Ted liked to talk
about…the Lord and horses. He raised horses,
showed horses at halter, and team roped. He loved
spending time at the barn. Tending to the animals
gave him a lot of quiet time to talk to the Lord and
to hear from Him.
He often thought about the prophetic words
spoken over him, and wondered how God could
take him from a secular career into the ministry.
How in the world could he ever pastor a church?

the BVOV magazine, and faithfully watched their
program on TV.

Ted and Jan Currington and their two children,
Christi and Chad, stepped inside the church sanctuary,
not knowing their lives were about to be changed forever.
When the evangelist took to the pulpit, he pointed to
Ted and Jan and directed them to stand.
Then he said, "God has called you.
You will pastor a church one day."
