Raymond Matthews ​ growing up in Prince George’s County, the Lord was at
work in his life and in quiet, unguarded moments, He knew deep down in his
heart that one day he would be something in life.  The Lord would work in his life
through a number of circumstances and friends.  Then, after a number of trials,
God would bring him back into fellowship with Him. Even with that strong
foundation, Raymond found a way to stray or should I say that Satan was able to
penetrate all of his teaching, his training, his Christian upbringing, and his
relationship with God. Raymond started to get involved in things that he knew
were wrong. I did what I wanted to do, regardless of how those things affected
other people.  I was grown and no one could tell me what to do.  I was stubborn
and wanted things my way.
