Jerry Vines Ministries

I was born at an early age. I was born at home because I wanted to be close to my mother. I was so surprised at my surroundings it was almost a year before I said a word. And I was born in Beulah land. I was born in Carroll County, Georgia in 1937, just outside of Carrollton, Georgia.

It was on the old Bremen Road, in the Beulah Baptist Church community. Beulah Baptist was the home church of my father, Clarence Vines. He and my mom took me there when I was five-weeks old. I was never a member there. However, through the early years of my life, I would go there to homecomings and all-day singings.

One of my distinct memories is playing around the concrete baptistery just below the church building. I knew there was something special about that pool of water. I would come to Christ as a 9-year-old boy.

Receiving Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, I was baptized at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Carrollton. I was not required to go through a special class. I wasn't made to wait to see if it was real. I was baptized according to the biblical pattern, "see, here is water. What hinders me to be baptized?"

I am getting ahead of myself. I was born physically in Beulah land. When I was born again I was divinely prepared to one day live forever in heaven

Sweet Beulah Land.
