(Artwork by Petrana Petsova.)   Thomas Worth has been a minister of the Gospel for over forty years. He grew up in a God-fearing family, but had no personal experience of the Savior until his late teens. Through the witness of his best friend and the influence of the Presence of God over a two- or three-year period, he underwent a marked conversion, infilling of the Spirit, and surrender to Christ. In the early 1970s, he received his grounding in the Scriptures and in the Spirit at Pinecrest Bible Training Center in upstate New York, where he also met and married the love of his life, Marsha. Around 1980, he experienced a further work of conversion where Christ’s work on the cross became the gravitational center of his thought, devotion, and ministry. The Person of Jesus has been a major theme with him ever since.
