First Baptist Church - Gonzales Barbara Erickson: I know you all do not know me but I can tell you that this church means so much to me and always will. You see, I was a very troubled youth many years back. I came from a home where life was at times what I thought unbearable. I was extremely suicidal during my high school years and would skip school many times. If someone had chosen to look for me they would have found me at your church sitting in the pews praying and begging for the LORD to help me with my situation. Basically, I THANK the LORD that he sent this church to be a place of refuge and an instrument in saving my life!!
